NBA Predictions 2025 - 2026: https://darrencohen.me/2025/10/21/nba-predictions.html

Congrats to @brooklynspoke.bsky.social and @sgoodyear.bsky.social on the book! Will be starting this today.

Joe Davis is great, it's Smoltz that kills the broadcast.

I love this fucking sport

GAME SEVEN BASEBALL IS THE BEST LET’S GOOOO!

Stuff I Like: https://darrencohen.me/2025/10/20/stuff-i-like.html

Speaking of podcasts, I was listening to the CEO of Zocdoc on Decoder @reckless.bsky.social and I literally laughed out loud when the CEO basically said "in the past we used machine learning to match patients with doctors, and now we use AI". So you changed a marketing term and nothing else?

After over a decade of listening to a version of the Bill Simmons podcast, I finally unsubscribed. I used to enjoy the "Guess the lines" segments etc when that was the gambling content as it was casual and fun. Now the show is nothing but gambling which is fine, just not for me anymore.

Happy Game 7 day to all those that celebrate!

My friend Paul Boutin has died, far too young. He was also one of my favorite tech writers ever, and a profound influence on my own work. Here’s a an archive of his wonderful Slate columns from a simpler time. slate.com/author/paul-...

Waking up at 330 and finding Duolingo down. How else do I cure my insomnia? Oh also two or three companies controlling this much of the internet might not be great.

The Jets are Jetsing…. And in better news the NBA is back this week.

The Brilliance of Nick Offerman: https://darrencohen.me/2025/10/19/the-brilliance-of-nick-offerman.html

Maryland football on Saturday and the Jets on Sunday….. at least football sits behind the other three sports in my head. More importantly the Rangers scored actual goals and won a game tonight.

Still starting the day with this… Wordle 1,582 4/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ 🟨🟩⬛🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I fell asleep after Ohtani's second home run while watching........ he hit a third?

These goons thrive on trolling the libs, and you can just block them and move on with your life. Ignoring them is far more effective than dunking on them in their mentions.

Play ball!

Two championship series games tonight, one of the few great nights of baseball left this year!

Good Morning!

Okay Blue Jays…. They played ball. Series on!!!!!

Man, if you’re going to use the an article about how the Republicans are using slurs in the group chat as a way to get mad at Democrats you should probably take a break for a while.

That was nuts!

Auburn/UGA has the second screen with no sound as baseball gets that honor, and I have no clue what the hell is going on. It just seems like chaos, will wait for the @lucyrohden.bsky.social breakdown of this one.

Let’s do this again!

The car is a gateway to fascism everywhere, not just in America

Huge mistake by polanco ending the game when he should've bunted

SEE YOU TOMORROW

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

This dumb sport is the best

Game 5, let’s go!!!!!

Because they are.

Is this heaven?

The anthem followed the Rangers being pinned in their own zone for the first minute of the game..... we are so back! #NYR

My photo doesn’t do it justice but Court Street in Brooklyn is going to be nice when it’s done.

Three good ones here.

Another great day of baseball.

It's been a couple of decades now but I still can't believe that prescription drug advertising is legal. It's absolutely insane and I'm pretty sure it has contributed to the whole "do my own research"/rejection of expertise horseshit that has driven this country into the ditch.
