"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”- John F. Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)💙🕊

Don Bluth was running the animation game before the Disney Renaissance with Little Mermaid. He had the classics before Disney got recharged and took things over.

BREAKING: Brandon Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees were voided by the 49ers, sources tell me and @DMRussini. Now, 15 months after signing a four-year extension worth $120 million, the two sides appear headed toward a stunning divorce. www.nytimes.com/athletic/682...

I spent tonight watching Prince's "Sign O The Times" concert since I didn't get to see it in IMAX this year. Whew.....this has been an experience. Just seeing where his live show was post-Purple Rain for my 1st favorite album of his. Man, man, man I'm so glad I got to see him once. Wish it was more

Happy 40th Anniversary to LL Cool J’s debut album ‘Radio’ originally released November 18, 1985 | Listen to the album + read our tribute by @jesseducker.bsky.social here: album.ink/LLCoolJRadio @llcoolj

My favorite comic strip besides Peanuts and a few others. Used to read the anthologies in middle-high school. All love to Bill Watterson creating a quirky universe that appealed to kids of all ages without dumbing it down.

A fascinating question......because Nelly's catalog is cool but not high quality (and I say that with Nelly being in my wheelhouse for HS and college years). Batter Up?

Didn't realize til after college but Saberhagen's one of the best pitchers to emerge from SoCal. 2 Cy Youngs and a World Series MVP before turning 26. Fascinating career arc

So I guess the place to be tonight is the Brooklyn Paramount with today's current news.

🚨 RED PANDA IS BACK 🚨

A second plane banner has flown over MetLife Stadium. The first wished Giants president/CEO John Mara well as he’s battling cancer. The second? “Mr Mara Enough is Enough - Clean House”

Old school flow for the Giants today. Week 9 vs the 49ers taking it back to the 80s

The Giants' defense has been awful but the run defense - something that had to improve from last year - is on pace to be among the worst in team history. Too many explosive runs. Too many runs given up at a bad times. It's a regression that's getting worse each game www.newsday.com/sports/footb...

What is sleep when the World Series says no. What a wild, wonky, stressful game this is

There is only one HIM right now. I don't care what sport you love. What great talent you love. OHTANI IS HIM!!!!! Tonight shows why.

Thankfully I didn’t see it live. all I saw was Jaxson Dart look away with his helmet off, every Giants player on the field kneeling and the cart come out faster than it did for Malik Nabers. It was brutal for Cam Skattebo. Giants already lost Nabers for the year. Another gruesome injury.

As a English poet once said. "Gravity always wins" The end comes for everyone. It'd be sad if I didn't see other great players meet Father Time the same way. It's just a reminder the body breaks. I'm the same age as LeBron so I feel it.

Wow.....that's absurd

We just watched one of the greatest playoff performances ever. Holy crap What a night by Shohei Ohtani. In a closeout game to win the pennant. That’s HIM.

Remembering Fela Kuti today on what would have been his 87th birthday (born October 15, 1938) | Explore his musical legacy (including audio & video highlights) here: album.ink/FelaKutiHBD

I'm glad "Jonz in my Bonz" and "Spanish Joint" are on here. Two really amazing album cuts that show the wealth and breadth of D'Angelo's music. His singles are special but to hear the extra gumbo he cooked with his band are something else.

Still processing this news. But watching D'Angelo in Sly Lives, it was very revealing about himself as much as it was Sly. That was Questlove's goal and I'm grateful we have him explaining himself so clearly. What a gift....what a gift. What an incredible loss.

I still have no freaking idea what the heck happened in Milwaukee. That's one of the strangest plays I've ever seen.

Man, I still wish this song didn't come out in 2020. It was naaaasty and made for the dance floor. Whew....what a song. What a moment.

Wrote this when Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher more than $77 million to go away. Still true!

Penn State followed the old rule of "what will be done eventually must be done immediately" Only thing surprising about James Franklin is the timing. Figured his days were numbered but wow....UCLA and Northwestern sent them reeling to this end.

Thursday Night Football. Thursday night Lights. Giants. Eagles. Let’s enjoy.

A photo like this is going to inspire an entire generation of girls to hoop even more.

Some little boys, too.

Probably got delayed 20 mins but hey, that’s life. I was more fascinated than annoyed but still, it’s wild to be stuck like 2-3 mins away from Penn Station for way longer than the commute usually is.

First for everything. Stuck on a Jersey transit train because of engine failure. Another medal achieved in the NY/NJ bingo, I suppose.

It’s hard being a UCLA fan but that game……yeah. Wow. Didn’t see that coming. Didn’t see Penn State looking like that after Oregon bossed them.

Don't worry about society's standards expectations for what to do or be at 30. Walk your own path and trust yourself. Stretch often. Treasure your friends but don't be afraid if you don't see them as much. If the bonds are strong, they'll continue even with distance.

Says a lot about baseball that its two best players are in LA and NY and yet, they're not more famous than they should be. I just think about how many mid-tier 90s players felt famous and yet Ohtani (and esp. Judge) don't feel that way. I know the reasons why. But still...

Most multi-homer games, Yankees history: Babe Ruth: 68 Aaron Judge: 46 Mickey Mantle: 46 Lou Gehrig: 43

My latest for The New York Times, on the legendary session musician Carol Kaye. The outspoken 90-year-old is being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame this fall. With thoughts on Kaye's career from Paul McCartney, Kathy Valentine & more. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/a...

See y'all in October. HIM is ready. *even if I don't think the Dodgers bullpen is........

When Eddie thought he could do anything because he was a superstar. And it gave Rick James had the biggest hit of his career Happy 40th to the song that almost gave Eddie Murphy a No 1 pop hit

The Jaxson Dart era begins Sunday as the Giants will start their rookie QB over Russell Wilson www.newsday.com/sports/footb...

Also, nice of the NFL to have me and Patrick Mahomes spend our birthday weekend in New Jersey after we had birthdays Wednesday. 30 was a good year for me. Maybe it will be for him after Mahomes had a great 20s.

Lot of Kansas City fans in the building tonight. Between the Giants and KC, somebody will be Moses parting the Red Sea. Or somebody at 0-3 will drown in it like Pharaoh. Enjoy Sunday Night football

One of my favorite songwriters/producers/guitar players alive and 1 of the most influential musicians of my lifetime. So thankful Nile keeps bringing the funk and keeping things Chic. Happy birthday, legend.

Chapter 41. Wild to say but here we are. Another birthday. Another year to be grateful for and another year to be grateful from.

After two games, the Giants have been wildly inconsistent. Good defense in Week 1, Great offense in week 2, but not great at the same time. Jekyll & Hyde? Split personality? At 0-2 will the real Giants stand up at their home opener Sunday? They know they have to www.newsday.com/sports/footb...

📺 September 14, 1990: "Tiny Toon Adventures" premiered as a primetime special on CBS. Three days later, the animated series about the next generation of Looney Tunes characters at Acme Looniversity began in weekday syndication. It lasted three seasons.

Buffalo News photographer Josh Bessex's shot of the DeAndre Hopkins touchdown:

Apparently Bluesky isn’t letting me upload videos. So no clips of the Giants’ fits for Week 1. Russell Wilson came through with a blue suit ahead of his Giants debut.

A new season begins. Giants are checking in. So am I. Northwest Stadium for Giants-Commanders.

When Russell Wilson likely starts Sunday, he'll be the 1st Black QB to start a season opener for the Giants. He'll also be one of a record 16 Black QBs in line to start Week 1 this season. Spoke to Wilson and Doug Williams about both things being significant www.newsday.com/sports/footb...

My mind is kinda blown. Watching Third Eye Blind at this free show and they did “Wolf Like Me” The band I loved in my HS/college days honoring the band I loved starting in my late 20s. One heck of a mind melding mashup.
