i for one have full confidence in the trump administration's ability to adequately refit a plane donated by a foreign government into a highly secure mobile command center for the united states executive, following their unquestionably successful renovation of A Large Pool of Water

Stipulating that I can’t definitively verify that Buttons has the expertise he says, I learned a lot from this! Also this is the first time I’ve had that peak twitter experience of “I’ve actually spent my life studying this obscure topic in the news, here’s my take” on BlueSky

I don't care if you're not a Knicks fan. I don't care if you're not a New Yorker. Watch this speech.

I took one look at that man’s hair and decided to trust everything he had to say about pool and pool related products

It took 250 years but American cops finally racially profiled a white guy

Clips are going viral of the new $14M paint on the Reflecting Pool peeling off just 12 days after the pool reopened.

has anyone lived the dream more than this guy?

He loves his job so much

And there is singing right now, in this concert of resistance.

New York City is the most perfectly "American" place in the nation, just one wave of newcomers after another, gradually building up the culture, one remarkable cultural collision after another. MAGA chuds hate NYC not because it's awful but because it disproves every lie they tell about immigration

The Bengali Knicks poet and the Sikh dholi guys combined forces for a follow-up! Now we just need the sewing machine guy and the ride a bike with stuff on his head guy to meet.

now more than ever

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

Mamdani is on MS NOW in a Knicks jersey

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

Tracy Morgan: "New York City that's where King King died... and we told Godzilla you next motherf*cker. You, the three headed monster, the flying turtle, all y'all can all get it."

The thing about this is that the team was due and the run to the title was insane and the city was united and it remains the best goddamn city in the world.

The Jalen M. Brunson And The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center For The Performing Arts

if they’re not going to call the fouls, they should let jalen brunson take one really good swing at wemby

san antonio showing zero class with the dinky song introducing the Knicks team. MSG doesn't do that, at least

I have to say, removing a usurper king's name from a building really is a great way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding.

What I'll say in all earnestness is this: you've only been deprived of a spectacle. It'll happen, and the fact that Trump was forced to do this at the height of his second term, not even after he leaves office, is a huge victory. He's juiceless and somehow losing more. *That's* what sustains you.

we’re so desperate for good news we've accepted the scaffolding as our wire mother

Man, what keeps you up late on a Friday night really changes as you get older

Infrastructure week is finally here.

Legitimately the funniest skeet so far RE: Kennedy Center

let's also point out the beauty of a city where someone can literally run from a stage play to a professional sporting event

lol Mariska literally sprinted from her second show to the Garden www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

i know he got caught out playing the shooter but I feel like a defensive situation that results in your 8 foot tall guy helplessly watching the biggest rebound of the year from the top of the key has to be the result of being like, tricked by brer rabbit or odysseus or something,

this is so wholesome

The stuff of movies #NYK

YALL CALLED IT COPE. I CALL IT KNOWING BALL.

Carved into New York folklore.

…and then he won!

NBA teams were 4-750 when down by 20 or more in the 4th quarter of a playoff game over the last 30 years. They are now 5-750. Knicks come back from 20 in the fourth quarter, the second time they've come back from down 20 in the fourth THIS POSTSEASON.

The Athletic’s live blog had good insights from reporters.

I’m on the 1 train and the driver is honking as he pulls into every station. Utter pandemonium.

Frantically searching for "how do you calm down and go to sleep after *that*?"

Translation for non-sports people: Moonlight has just beaten La La Land for Best Picture.

The stat about 54 seconds is blowing my mind

The referees aren't the reason the Spurs are winning but they're the reason the Spurs are winning by 20 instead of 10.

This is the best Pride moment I'll ever have. A little gay boy (when you know you know), maybe 7, ran up to me today and said, "What's your style?!" "What's...my style?" "Yes! What STYLE do you have?" "I'm too old to have a style!" He beamed at me. "I change MY style EVERY DAY." And he skipped away.

I’m a native New Yorker, which is a different thing from being a New Yorker, but the latter identity is about a million times more meaningful to me than the former.

“The people who made New York what it is are people like the ones who live in the large Chinese immigrant community near my neighborhood. Or people who moved here from Puerto Rico, as Lopez’s parents did. Or people who moved here from Mexico, or from Italy. Orfrom Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin”

If you need something good, my local wastewater Covid tracker is at the lowest it has ever been for the longest it has ever been.
