I was lucky to be a match to donate a kidney to my father l. Others aren't so lucky -- but lemme tell you, 3 weeks after surgery, I'm doing well, he's doing well, and it will forever be one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Elder millennials/Gen X are always mad thankful there weren't camera phones/social media when they were in college bc they'd have photos of, like, 20-year-olds playing Edward 40 Hands, while these boomers were just out in these streets documenting crimes of the century on analog

YAAAAASSSSSSS

A gift from my nurse 💚

I just donated a kidney and watching these ugly-ass NBA Cup courts is still the most painful thing I'll have to do today

Yada yada ON IT

Also I have officially become a person who goes to the gym after brunch and a film festival

No YOU cried all throughout the screening of "Street Smart," the documentary on Sonia Manzano aka Maria from Sesame Street @docnycfest.bsky.social

Having a fully childhood day with high school frenz -- had brunch at a restaurant I first went to when I was 15 (shoutout to Hearth, glad some NYC institutions are still there and still good) and now we're waiting to see the documentary about Maria from Sesame Street at DOC NYC

I'm sorry but when did a three-piece at Popeyes become SEVENTEEN AMERICAN DOLLARS

How do journalists get records from government agencies through @freedom.press public records requests? Is that something anyone can access? 404 Media is gonna teach you 🫵 Find out how to join our LIVE session here:

At least you know you need one

19 years ago today. This one hits different because mom's not here. She used to send me a letter every year telling me how much she knows how hard this day is for me, and how proud she is of how much I've overcome. I hope she's still proud. www.espn.com/espnw/voices...

I say this as a proud (pre-Trump capitulation) Lion, but why is Columbia-Harvard on ESPN2

Thursday's @theguardian.com cartoon #zohranmamdani #mamdani #zohranfornyc #NewYork

Spotted on the UES

I have to know who the 6,382 people who voted for Eric Adams are

Zohran is cool and awesome and I’m thrilled for him and all of us but at my core this is who I am: the Jewish guy who shows up to be a world class hater in support of his friend

Quoting Mario in his victory speech is just 👩🏾‍🍳😘

Inbox— next cover of the New Yorker: “Mayor Mamdani,” by Edel Rodriguez

Tom ffs not now it's Election Day and the trade deadline

The women of New York about to be three times safer when we rid ourselves of not one but two sex pests

Do you ever get the feeling the WordleBot holds grudges

Nothing is more polarizing to born-and-raised New Yorkers than Marathon Sunday

Hi hello this regardless of whom I voted for, this is textbook misinformation designed to rile you up in an alert. Election Day is in two days, and the actual article is about a poll.

Once again I am complaining about how hideous these NBA Cup courts are

They're using Oasis for a Dodgers-Blue Jays hype video?!

Vladdy Jr., with exactly the same batting stance as his daddy, hitting balls in play that were six inches outside the zone, just uncanny

Loved our chat, @zachvanasse.bsky.social!

It's been a fun morning

Someone make sure Mark Sanchez isn't nearby

AHEM

Y'all really scheduled a NYC mayoral debate on the same night as the *Knicks season opener*

The only thing that makes sense in the world rn is watching basketball with Roundball Rock playing

You should not bet on sports if you cover sports, even if you're betting on a sport you don't cover.

My two favorite genres of film are "financial scandal documentary" and "art heist documentary" so

I guess it's trendy to shit on Taylor Swift now (which, some of y'all need hobbies), but I will say, her music had never been meant for some of us -- and that's okay! Not everything is for everyone! And I'll always refer to this episode of Code Switch explaining why www.npr.org/transcripts/...

Sportly has been nominated for a Signal Award! Would love if you could give us a vote: vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting...

If Liberty-Mystics goes to OT, what happens to the start of the Yankees-Red Sox broadcast (also on ESPN, first pitch at 7:10pm)?

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

This is my surprised face at the latest Tyreek Hill accusations

'We're bringing in 5 French Charles Oakleys'

I'll be on 1A on @npr.org at 11:20am ET with @girinathan.bsky.social talking all things tennis, including Giri's new book, The Changeover. Tune in -- we'll be there for the whole hour #USOpen

Angela Davis is here and the crowd went WILD

ESPN's app on my TV had six minutes of nothing to start the Coco broadcast and then it decided to go to two minutes of ads as they were doing player intros and walkouts, and just went into another two minutes of ads during the cointoss

Jumping on NBC News Now on Peacock at 12:35pm ET today to talk about Jen Pawol making history behind the plate

There are two ways to get your pierogi at Veselka

I'm finally getting around to watching Cooperstown inductions (CC and Ichiro are self-care) and I'm cracking up that Brian Kenny's introduction for Wade Boggs name-checks the '96 Yankees but not the Red Sox at all 😂
