Along with the late Jay Thomas’s “Lone Ranger” story, Darlene Love’s “Christmas” performance was such a holiday staple for me as a young, past-his-bedtime Letterman viewer. What a joy to hear her again. youtu.be/9u6aGXVAuWw?...

Think I have conclusively demonstrated that the search tool for the limited release Epstein Files published so far by the Justice Department does not work

BOOK NEWS: “Here Comes the Pizzer: The Found Poetry of Baseball Broadcasts,” which I contributed to earlier this year, has earned a Twin Bill Book Prize for Best Poetry Book of 2025! Congrats to all involved in this gem of a collection. Want a copy? Go here: sabr.org/latest/sabr-...

It is rare that i reach out to as many trump advisers and officials that I did today and get literally no one willing to defend this, even off the record.

So I guess he won’t order flags at half-staff.

Weird to go to bed reading about the Brown shooting. Waking up to news about the Bondi Beach shooting and to be heading to bed reading that Rob Reiner and his wife were apparently stabbed to death. I hope everyone affected finds some kind of peace. JFC

This has to be one of the greatest runs any director has ever experienced.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Happy 100th birthday to my fellow WDSU alum and mid-December kid Dick Van Dyke!

NEW: President Donald Trump says he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, who was convicted on state charges related to tampering with Colorado's election systems. Legal experts say presidential pardons do not apply to state charges.

Not a real source or person. Trolling shit poster. Duped a lot of people last few weeks. The people who run Twitter are morons for letting this continue unabated.

Problem is: Neither our work culture nor our education culture incentivizes deep learning. Instead, we're incentivized to economize--to learn only what's needed to finish the task or get the answer right on the test. So, people use ChatGPT, even when they know they could learn more by other means.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Forty-five years.

I am asking you, once again, to stop giving Mike Dukakis your Turkey carcasses

I haven’t seen this get covered in English yet so let me translate. Grok is saying that the crematories at Auschwitz’s were conceived as disinfectant chambers, not mass execution and that the law has made it taboo to acknowledge that this is what they were X is a Nazi site. Get off the Nazi site.

Welcome back to baseball, NBC!

I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

The Tet Offensive has arrived in Carolina

Happy November 13th, Felix! (Sorry about the divorce.)

On a night for turning clocks back, the Los Angeles Dodgers have rewound theirs by a year. Congrats to the back-to-back World Series champs.

Winner-take-all World Series games to go extras: 2025 2016, 10 innings 1997, 11 1991, 10 1924, 12 1912 g8, 10

Finally, we get to game 9

In Canadian terms, I might need a double-double bypass before this game is over.

No one is talking about how Blake Snell is on 27 seconds of sleep

Happy Halloween to all my fellow candy corn lovers! #NoShame

I must confess. Ever since I moved into a detached house for the first time in my adult life this past July, I’ve become obsessed with weeding my lawn. In other words, I’ve developed an urge to purge spurge.

“To be considered a great hitter, you previously had to bat above that mark for the season. Only seven could say they did it this year.”

Your Mets jokes are so hack that the Babylon Bee is making them

look if Anthony Volpe wants to be the Jim Leyritz of this generation and only show up for October, I suppose there are worse fates

A thrift store find!

So @jimmykimmel.com's first words back tonight--"As I was saying..."-- were an homage to Tonight Show host Jack Paar, who used those words when he returned after walking out on his show in a censorship dispute with NBC. From 65 years ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrhQ...

The largest state without a Nielsen-designated TV market is poised to lose its PBS stations next year. www.nj.com/news/2025/09...

Tooling around on Baseball Reference and learned that Jeff Russell's son married Bobby Witt Sr's daughter. It's a real late '80s Rangers romance.

At the risk of staying the obvious ... If you sign this, you are in no way a journalist.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

It’s not too late for Aaron Sorkin to add this to his Social Network 2 script!

OK, you can't watch Kimmel tonight, but this is every bit as funny.

Davey Johnson’s plaque at Citi Field. RIP.

Truth from Tirico. Sports broadcasting has become more about bro-ly hot takes and less about journalism and storytelling. awfulannouncing.com/nbc/mike-tir...

WELLS, WELLS: On this date 27 years ago, Yankees southpaw David Wells came closer than most to his second perfect game of the 1998 season. I wrote about this game a while back for the Society for American Baseball Research’s Games Project. sabr.org/gamesproj/ga...

I’m absolutely begging reporters to stop suggesting that Lisa Cook stated that she would use both properties as a principal residence on her mortgage APPLICATIONS Mortgage APPLICATIONS and mortgage AGREEMENTS are not the same thing We have no idea what she represented on the APPLICATIONS

Basically everything people remember and think about Columbine was shaped in the first few days after the event and after years of investigation almost none of it (including the Nazi stuff) proved to be true. Everyone should read Dave Cullen's book
