a lot of the establishment media feels like they deserve respect regardless of whether they have earned it or not
somehow office holding republicans can openly say “defund education” and it’s a-ok/something no one in the media thinks is a five alarm fire of a crisis yet some random leftist light years away from power can say “defund the police” and it’s pearl clutching forever
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a boss😏" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
Crime is literally lower than it has been in the entire life of every single non-senior-citizen American. If you are under age 65 you have never lived at a time with lower property crime rates, lower violent crime rates or lower homicide rates. Never.
just looked it up and that is nightmare fuel
I always laugh when fans complain about how unfair Yankee Stadium is but it’s especially dumb when Red Sox fans complain about it
Rudy Giuliani won’t see your mocking posts, but your friends whose dark hair dye is melting onto their face and whose personal and professional lives are a complete mess will.
I thankfully missed the discourse
I generally think the changes are good (except the ghost runner) but yes, I miss the fun, weird stuff. Two and a half hour games are fine. The people who are happy about the odd 1:55 game are psychopaths
can’t help thinking some of this is industry driven, feels like studios are averse to making big political statements, particularly about what’s happening right now.
great article, nails a feeling I’ve had about some movies the last 3-4 years but wasn’t sure if it was just me or not.
that article is a longer, smarter version of my takeaway of that film bsky.app/profile/mike...

these calls for civility always come down to “I should be allowed to say slurs”
when there’s discourse and you see people talking about the discourse but you don’t know what the discourse is
were there also blurry photos of Woodrow Wilson
buddy we’re all going to die
I think about the ending of the movie Unforgiven a lot lately
RFK Jr., driving away with Rudy Guliani tied to the roof of his car
Aaron Civale, demanding a trade to start somewhere because he didn’t want to be a reliever, not even for a playoff contender, only to find himself back in a bullpen for a playoff contender 80 days later is one of my favorite storylines of 2025
It slaps
Demon 79 (watching for the first time) instantly one of my favorite Black Mirrors. An absolutely commanding performance by Anjana Vasan
this weekend was like Clue on psychedelics
this guy was great in A Bronx Tale
I said JRod was going to have a better second half than PCA. I didn’t think he might outright pass him in fantasy earnings
I’d ask how is your kid already 9 but my oldest is in college so yeah
“Rudy Giuliani? Is he an actor?” My 16-year-old not knowing who Giuliani is is hilarious
this is a fuckin horror movie murder house, there’s going to be a pile of dead bodies 90 minutes in
there wasn’t a prior incident and Giuliani slammed on his brakes to cause a car accident to distract from the Trump administration Weekend at Bernie’s-ing the President
On the evening of August 30, 2025, in New Hampshire, Mayor Giuliani was filming an advertisement where he had to "get his hands on two sweet cans" before closing with his endorsement, "These are Rudy's Schlitz," when his burgundy 1975 Cadillac Sixty Special Brougham was struck by the entire mafia.
MICHAEL RAGUSA: he reported a CRIME! he wasn’t involved in the crime AT ALL! the car accident was an ISOLATED INCIDENT! what would make you think otherwise? that’s it! no more questions! REPORTER: no one was even asking questions but now that you ment—— RAGUSA: I said NO MORE QUESTIONS!!!
me: i heard you do a terrible owl impression him: where me: holy shit that is bad
I know this isn’t how it works but coming off dominating the Phillies this is such a wet fart of a series against the Marlins
even as a Mets fan sometimes you’ve got to lol Mets
It doesn’t matter if the President of the United States is wrong about Roger Clemens taking PEDs, the issue is that he shouldn’t be inserting himself into this in the first place. BBWAA voters had 10 chances to vote Clemens in and declined. There will also be future opportunities via committee.
they certainly do not ask permission if they can be Frank with you

that’s me as well
Ryan Jeffers, not knowing that Luis Arráez was miked 😂
lost in all this is the usual thing about this nonsense. you can still buy white bread. no one is forcing you to eat sourdough bread at gunpoint.
yes and Cameron is a guy like García where people are dismissive of his career but he was a 47 win player!
he was my favorite non-Snoopy character
It’s my annual fundraising request for the Terry Fox run. We’ve made so much progress since Terry started his run, but we have so much further to go. Let’s help our scientists and researchers finish what Terry started. Please consider supporting: run.terryfox.ca/page/rudykap25
yeah, that’s a really big thing when a couple has a baby, especially if they are recently married as well
people who are obliviously rude often aren’t inherently bad people. but in non-virtual spaces people like this seldom get called out by strangers (and they don’t act this way with friends). Online they often do and frequently don’t take being called out well, which compounds the problem
“everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt” absolutely does not work online for a whole bunch of reasons and it’s better to err on the side of “this person is stupid and/or operating in bad faith” than assuming good intentions
blowouts in professional sports are fascinating because it shows even elite athletes sometimes have a bad day. blowouts in college sports usually highlight the problems with a system where the disparity in team quality can be a chasm
I often stupidly think “there aren’t as many absolute morons on Bluesky as there were on Twitter” but this account is a great reminder that my experience here is better mostly because I’m far more aggressive about muting/blocking people
every government policy should be driven by “will it make society better?” but unfortunately is driven by “is it fair for everyone?” where the idea of fairness is this false construct that assumes everyone has the same opportunities to grow wealth.
This whole thing is great but the highlighted bit made me laugh out loud. 😂 Marlon on Snoop:
also Freddy García was good
between this and having an immigrant parent with a heavy accent there were a lot of words I mispronounced
for all the tough talk these losers do about crime you’d think they’d at least pretend to have their cops fight it instead of doing nonsense like this
everyone always jokes that they're gonna Weekend at Bernie's trump. no one ever says they're gonna Don't Tell Mom, The Babysitter's Dead him. this, to me, is the patriarchy
do you think she wood?
in our case the leak initially seemed to be coming from near the refrigerator
a small pipe behind the kitchen sink with a very tiny crack in it. what sucks is if the pipe had completely broken they might have found the source sooner
it wasn’t until the remediation company came and started ripping stuff up that they found the source of the leak, and they were the third group of people who tried to find it
only hitter in baseball better than Soto since June 1 is Nick Kurtz 😜
JUAN SOTO!!!!
I hope you don’t have a situation like we did where it was something that had been leaking very slowly for 2-3 weeks but caused all sorts of damage
me, a non-college football fan barely paying attention to your posts trying to figure out what everyone is talking about
there should be some sort of mild but embarrassing punishment for all the people who complained about baseball superstars and their slow starts in mid-April who are doing their usual thing now
Kate I did not even know 9-1-1 Nashville existed, there is no way I would have deliberately disrespected you in this manner.
yes! this is pedantry I can get down with
he finally figured out that his basement coffee delivery model wasn’t economically sustainable
you all said he was still alive but to me he sounds completely dead inside
Your dad was Mario Cuomo.
could he get severely hurt and be done by 36-37? sure, but otherwise even a diminished, late career Judge is probably going to crank out 25 wins of value or so
his age 29-33 comps by WAR (post integration) are Bonds, Schmidt, Clemente, Aaron, Musial, and Jackie Robinson. It’s difficult to envision an outlier’s trajectory but that’s what Judge is.
the timing is off but every year it feels more and more like we’re heading toward this timeline theonion.com/person-who-w...
He’ll always be the FedEx guy to me m.youtube.com/watch?v=NeK5...
I was not ready for all the college football posts
replacing Batman fight onomatopoeiae with old midwestern brewery names
this is so upsetting. this is probably one of the first news stories i remember feeling the immediacy of in terms of the fear

what you’re describing sounds an awful lot like the environment I grew up in so I try to be as patient and loving as possible with both my kids
some of the funniest interactions I have with my 18-year-old, neurodivergent child are when I say something like “huh, that thing you’re doing describing sounds an awful lot like what I did as a kid” and Lucy goes “Dad…”
how do you shitpost about someone’s death at Carnegie Hall? practice, practice, practice
One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
It’s 52 here and I have the upstairs windows open
this is like when you asked for some ridiculous Christmas gift as a kid of a certain age. part of you deep down knows Santa isn’t real and your parents aren’t getting it for you but that’s not going to stop you from dreaming on that gift. don’t be that kid who says Santa isn’t real.
I haven’t felt so much positive energy from social media in quite some time.
worth remembering that any time I say “it is happening” I am talking about a reboot of 1977’s “The Betty White Show”

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

The Mets are doing what every team should do when a position player pitches: pad their stats and try to score as many runs as possible
David Bowie in Zoolander
I’m not a huge U2 fan but their Simpsons turn was great
my wife and kids are always like “oh my god that smells so good, what is that?” and it’s just me sautéing the onions and garlic
@marlins.com do it, cowards
TIRED: having a position player pitch when the game is out of hand WIRED: replacing the entire lineup with pitchers when the game is out of hand
I’m happy for us but feel bad for his toilet
this is the legal equivalent of your parents saying “don’t do it again” for the umpteenth time and you already know they’re not going to punish you
fuck yeah
