Did anyone else notice this fine print at the bottom of that Mr. Rogers mortgage commercial?

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

I wish the federal government would just leave Minnesota the fuck alone

Hell, why these indictments before the officers that Minnesota indicted for shooting someone and then lying under oath?!

Long story short, solidarity with Minnesota, always.

These crowd shots around New York are so fucking diverse. I fucking love this town

I am a worrier so I’m always concerned that people are going to start fighting and setting fires and stuff, and then it turns out that people are doing whatever this is

It's possible to derive joy from other people's joy.

God, there is nowhere like NYC ❤️

I remember someone saying to me, years ago, that they didn't understand the purpose of sports. I don't think I was able to explain to them. But I think of that moment a lot, and I'm thinking of it today. (Congrats NYC!)

Coney Island. Knicks in five. Brooklyn is exploding. New York City!
