1971 World Series: “NBC Sports, a service of NBC News”

Marlon Brando and Robert Duvall in that famous crime drama . . . The Chase (1966).

How I arrived on Bluesky.

His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the former president. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

The Naked City TV series was known for its on-location filming in NYC. Here’s a shootout near the Manhattan Valley Viaduct on far west 125th Street in a 1960 episode, “A Death of Princes.”

Feeling crazy today and sharing my verification code with everyone. It's 172159.

Pete Hegseth has matured in office from a villain in a 1980s comedy to a villain in a 1940s drama.

Two characters who look for any chance to take what you say literally: Nancy and The Djinn in the Wishmaster series.

Jodie Foster hosted SNL in November 1976. She wore this unusual MLB team-branded shirt: button-up, front pockets, San Francisco over one pocket and Giants over the other.

The first appearance of Superman’s extradimensional adversary, Mr. Mxyzptlk, was March 1, 1944, in the Man from Krypton’s newspaper strip. (His name was originally spelled “Mxyztplk,” but for whatever reason its spelling later became fixed as Mxyzptlk.) This appearance preceded his comic book debut.

Sixty years ago today in Mets history:

Peanuts, May 3, 1954.

First man to win the FIFA Peace Prize and FIFA War Prize in the same season?!

BREAKING: Blood-dimmed tide loosed, ceremony of innocence drowned, according to sources.

Within the reality of the comic strip, why did the newspaper misspell review?

$542 in 1961!!!

1961 episode of Naked City: a scene with Ed Asner, followed by a scene with Robert Duvall, and Sylvia Sidney from Beetlejuice.

This happened at a hipster bar in Davos.

Speak the speech, I pray you, as I pronounced it to you, trippingly on the tongue: but if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as lief the town-crier spoke my lines.

50 years ago today, February 24, 1976: Jimmy Carter won the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary, receiving 28.6% of the vote in a field of six. His retail politics and "Peanut Brigade" volunteers were key to his success. The win helped propel him to the nomination.

New York Mets win (a spring training game). #LGM

I would just like to take the opportunity to point out the comic reference to It Happened One Night in, of all movies, The Deer Hunter (1978). John Welsh (wonderfully played by George Dzundza), joking with his buddies, calls back to Claudette Colbert's famous hitchhiking scene in the movie.

Spring training edition: New York Mets win. #LGM

Arthur Batanides and William Shatner, first in Alcoa Premiere’s “Million Dollar Hospital” (1963), second in Star Trek’s “That Which Survives” (1969).

I'm beginning to regret stepping on that butterfly during my time travel trip to the dinosaur age.

A robust challenge to the adage that there's no such thing as bad publicity.

This is a terrible idea. It will be literally impossible to find Bobby Valentine in the stadium.

Same energy.

The Crown/Law and Order: SVU crossover season: who hangs up first?

I've seen enough curling, thanks.

Before the internet, "arguing with strangers" was probably a niche hobby.

On Presidents Day we honor George Washington, who in 1972 helped the McMann & Tate ad agency land the Whirlaway account, and Abraham Lincoln, who on Stardate 5906.4 will give his own life to save Captain Kirk from Genghis Khan, Col. Green, Zora and Kahless the Unforgettable.

If you've ever wondered what a Charles Bronson/Claude Rains team-up would look like, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS has you covered. Plus there’s a marionette voiced by Virginia Gregg (voice of Mrs. Bates in PSYCHO). "And So Died Riabouchinska" was written by Ray Bradbury and aired #OTD in 1956. #TVSky

At this point either team could use a play drawn up by @dicknixon.bsky.social

The Pokemon commercial was ruined by Trevor Noah saying his favorite Pokemon is Psyduck

New quarterback coming in for Maye.

Glad I took the over on 1,000 punts.

What do you call a game with all punts and field goals? Football!
