It’s wild that Cal Raleigh hit his 60th dong tonight and Aaron Judge is going to win a second undeserved MVP.

The Seattle Mariners win the American League West for the first time since 2001. Homers tonight by Geno, Polanco, Julio, and #60 for Cal. Four games left in the regular season and then, "might as well..."

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

“The directive, outlined in an Office of Management and Budget memo to agencies and obtained by CNN, represents a sharp break from the government’s handling of past shutdown scenarios — and an escalation by the Trump administration amid a standoff with congressional Democrats over federal funding.”

👀 Confession? “People don’t understand that Palm Beach in the 90s was a different time, he groused.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

CHOTINER: And when was that? MY CAT: I mean at least 14 hours ago CHOTINER: Well hold on. You're telling me you haven't been fed at all today but if I look in your bowl here I see a- MY CAT: An untouched serving, I know, but if you'd let me finish- CHOTINER: Yeah, of course.

Brendan Carr on tonight's new #SouthPark

Barefoot in the Park starts at 10 pm ET on @tcmtv.bsky.social — scheduled as part of the month’s much-deserved tribute to Edith Head, who designed the costumes, now it’s also a chance to celebrate Mr. Redford, who also starred in the Broadway play … #TCMParty #RobertRedford

Our quilt guild had an auction tonight of donated items. It was big because it had donations from 3 estates. I'm sad to lose the quilters, but wow the stuff that was donated. Plus, I'm finding treasures of cool notions tucked in with fabric! One lot was 50yrds of Kaffe! I lost that one. #quiltsky

Okay, but can’t believe he rolled a giant cross on wheels around the bases

ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME (2015) Claudia Cardinale is a nonna on the run to meet her lost love, w/ the help of a teen American accomplice, in this tri-generational rom-com/road movie. How lovely to see her still lighting up the screen at age 77. A corny but mood-lifting delight. On Pluto TV. #FilmSky

For no reason at all (really), I was thinking earlier today about that time I interviewed Johnny Marr, and how when I thanked him afterward for his time, he said, "I knew all the answers, so it was all right."

Trump coming down an escalator 10 years ago and being unable to go up an escalator yesterday is like that ominous moment at the end of THE BIG LEBOWSKI when Steve Buscemi misses bowling a strike for the first time.

"PLEASE STAY FOCUSED ON *OUR* UNHINGED CONSPIRACY THEORY SIR"

"i can not believe the president lied about the wrong thing"

just imagining how furious trump must be seeing himself on the television just standing on the stopped escalator 😹😹😹

TWISTERS 3: FATAL FUNNELS

I know our political press is kind of intentionally not built for this moment, but it really would slow the sprint toward an authoritarian ethno-state down if, by and large, they could start covering this government the way they would a third world dictatorship.

Don’t know who runs EW’s socials but this is A+ shade.

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

Hard. Pass.

You're a Nazi.

In addition, the YouTube clip of Kimmel's Tuesday night monologue has racked up nearly 16 million views so far. #StreisandEffect

His ground breaking scholarship helped rewrite the history of African Americans in the United States. Rest in peace, sir. blackpast.org/blackpast-or...

This didn’t quite go in the direction I was expecting!

All the questions should be "why do you suck so much?"

Ric Grenell, who runs the Kennedy Center, appears to have set aside tickets for hecklers to disrupt the K-Center performance of an artist who got in a heated exchange with him months ago:

The head of the Kennedy Center disrupting Kennedy Center performances to get revenge on his artist enemy is a new low.

Here we go again with the drones

We've got numbers #Kimmel

one burning question from last night’s Kimmel return monologue that’s gone unanswered: is he dressed as a chipmunk here? Or a beaver?? What possible sketch premise could involve either animal and a banana???

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

It sucks the way the humanities are being eroded & labeled unimportant. For every rant against a “new identity,” there is an ancient poem or painting or song or or or that tells us there is nothing new under the sun

Bluesky is awesome because you can have two people say the exact same thing but one truly believes it in their heart of hearts and the other is all “this is a joke that no one is stupid enough to actually think like”

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Being indicted for helping Trump win in 2016, but not the popular vote

ICE illegally built fencing on a public street, blocking emergency access in the area, all to keep out protesters. Good for the Broadview Fire Department for calling this out. Broadview Demands ICE Facility's New Fencing Be 'Removed Immediately' blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/24/b...

We are now 267 days into the second Nelson Muntz presidency

"There are autisms, rather than just autism. The diversity in symptoms, the severity of symptoms and the range of biological contributors are simply too large to be reduced to one uniform disorder. The neurobiology is too complex for easy explanations." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/o...
