brb inviting senator jon husted to a high-stakes poker game

The Mets don’t really deserve to make the playoffs but imo I personally deserve the Mets to make the playoffs and that overrides it.

I don’t care that the teens these days all wear band t-shirts of bands they probably don’t listen to, but I very much care when I see several teens together and their t-shirts don’t match up. Sorry but if you truly loved Anthrax you’d want nothing to do with that kid in a Three Doors Down shirt.

PRO TIP: If you’re a spotted lanternfly, do not land on the pirate ship playground at LegoLand.

One of the most incredible marketing coups of all time is that we now sign up to let companies surveil us online by clicking a big blue button that says, “Accept Cookies.”

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

A dude I went to high school with has great seats at the Mets game tonight.

Make sure to wish a librarian a happy Gerald Ford Trapped in The Penn Library Elevator Day.

I've seen a funny anecdote making the rounds about Jose Ramirez flashing his money in the Guardians' clubhouse. That's all well and good but Carlos Gomez has the funniest clubhouse money-flashing anecdote OF ALL TIME

Investing $13 in a CD meant committing to listen to it a bunch, during which time songs that did not initially catch your ear sometimes emerged as lifelong favorites. Streaming means there's no reason to stick out a song that doesn't grab you immediately, so catchy songs endure more than good ones.

IMO, the best pitcher in MLB at any given time should be known as "the Pedro." Clayton Kershaw had a 7-season run as the Pedro. Jacob deGrom was the Pedro for 3.5 years. Paul Skenes is the current Pedro. One minor issue with this title is that it kind of looks like Pedo.

You know who’s going to be really funny, for sure? The state-endorsed late night TV hosts.

Jimmy Kimmel was just too edgy for them

The pornbots are here and they've discovered AI

Honoring the memory of the free speech champion by firing anyone who quotes what they said.

So the Washington Post fired Karen Attiah—a Black woman—for doing nothing more than quoting Charlie Kirk's words about Black women? Is that what I'm understanding here?

If there's one thing we can learn from the response to the Charlie Kirk shooting, it's the way most Americans feel about health insurance executives.

Think of the dumbest person you know. Dumber people than that are running whole branches and offices for agencies of the federal government right now.

Chris Jones was clutch af. Guy only hit 12 homers total with the Mets and four of them were walk-offs. One of my favorite dudes on my beloved horrible 1995 Mets. I wrote the gd sample size song no one lecture me about clutch stats.

OK good, now someone go back through the broadcast and find something silly in the crowd or dugout and call the Mets’ attention to that thing. That silly thing you found is now the Mets’ 2025 Rally Thing, and they will ride that rally thing straight to the playoffs.

I passed an open manhole in the middle of the street in Brooklyn this morning so I called 311 and it immediately turned into a Monty Python sketch. If the city’s aim was to have me just not bother and/or close it myself next time, it succeeded.

Ya gotta believe

It would be cool to be so good at hitting that you're disgusted with yourself for hitting a 360-foot fly ball off Jacob deGrom.

Ya gotta believe (that the Mets will get this game kind of close then bring in Ryan Helsley)!

Blue Jays vs. White Sox:

I understand why players aren't eager to talk about it, but I'm always interested in where guys choose to live in NY. Lots of young Mets used to live in LIC (maybe still?) at a complex the team had some deal with. Veterans often go to the Great Neck area. Manaea always seems very relatable and cool.

I rode the 7 train with Sean Manaea on his regular commute from Midtown to Citi Field, and he told me all about being just another New Yorker nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/09/12/m...

This is exactly the Mets team you signed up for when you voted Mamdani

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

Choose your fighter.

Why would somebody lie over something as simple as their signature appearing in the place of pubic hair on a weirdly lusty and undoubtedly familiar personalized naked-lady note to the world's most infamous sexual predator

Do NOT allow them to rewrite history with disinformation. #COVID vaccines worked remarkably well and allowed us to come out of a global pandemic. A picture is worth a thousand words.

DID YOU KNOW? The Guardian Angels have always been more of an amateur improv troupe than an amateur crime fighting operation. www.nytimes.com/1992/11/25/n...

Francisco Alvarez has better baseball instincts than mustache instincts.

This is wild to me. Peak Pedro Martinez (1997-2003): 2.20 ERA, 213 ERA+, 0.94 WHIP, 6.4 H/9, 0.6 HR/9, 5.6 K/BB Paul Skenes, so far: 1.98 ERA, 215 ERA+, 0.94 WHIP, 6.4 H/9, 0.6 HR/9, 5.1 K/BB

These days, the football game of what’s more and more. In order to champion — when its competition of the ballgame — America is the time for together. And that’s which of the fans. The fans of what it’s most of all. Let’s what it again: the fans of when it’s more.

Happy anniversary to Cal Ripken. Kevin Costner is a total asshole. I know the story probably isn't true but I've met Kevin Costner and he's a total asshole. Those are just two separate, unrelated thoughts.

Juan Soto is going full Kool-Aid Man on the NL MVP race.

If GEORGE WASHINGTON tells you your ideas about the Revolution are wrong, maybe you are just wrong.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

I tried to use ChatGPT for the first time to mock up an idea I had for a custom guitar paint job and it… totally sucks? Do people not think this sucks? I could’ve actually completed the custom paint job in the time it took me to convince it to get the right pick guard on there.

Am I too optimistic, or is Trump scheming on behalf of Andrew Cuomo the best possible thing for Zohran Mamdani? Cuomo’s whole thing is “eyy I’m a tough guy who’ll stand up to Trump, listen to my totally real, not-affected accent,” so all Mamdani needs to say is “he’s the one the fascists want.”

In what way has this complete dipshit ever been “honorable?”

First day of school in New York and every dad dropping off their kid at a Williamsburg school looks like a member of the Hold Steady

Here's a weird thing: Since July 26, Juan Soto has slashed .270/.426/.595 with 14 homers, 13 stolen bases, and zero doubles.

@davidjroth.bsky.social Are we supposed to be sharing these with you?

Well, if you say it’s a top match I might as well give it…. a shot
