I have a friend who bought two tickets for the 2026 World Cup Final on July 19, 2026. The idiot didn’t realize that he’s getting married on the same day. If anyone wants to go in his place, it’s at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New York. The bride’s name is Mary, everything has already been paid for.

Yeah this is me flying into the dome. Nice knowing y’all

To borrow a phrase from @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, “I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.”

Of course the company calls it the Terminator project www.newscientist.com/article/2529...

Dear NYC press: can we get an update on Rudy? Thank you. /backseatassignmenteditor

I am asking this question from a wine bar, as one does. What was your favorite band when you were 20? I have a theory.

The amount of world building in the Doug Funnie Silmarillion is truly decadent

I finally got around to posting this talk about zen and Helen Keller from March. It's kind of all over the place, and someone's probably going to tell me I've butchered my explanation of light and darkness in physics. palafo.org/posts/2026/6...

Wow

Striking graphic in this latest Reuters piece, which finds that while President Trump and his family have profited by at least $2.3 billion since he retook the presidency, their more than a million investors have suffered $2.3 billion in net losses. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

You are only a real New Yorker if you grew up in the sewers under the city with your Italian-named brothers and were raised by a mutant Japanese rat and trained in the martial arts.

Pass

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

Just like Covid, it is a roundabout way to address climate change, but let’s see what happens

Some people swear they will never be like their parents, that they will be better people, and some do not. www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/05...

Wait, are you saying we are all different people? Naw

That’ll show the bastards

We really used to know how to name things in the old days. 5 stars, no notes.

I’m not going to pretend to be a basketball fan but I am enjoying the Knicks hoopla. It is also nice to see BlueSky sports posting taking off a little more. I miss the communal moments of old Twitter.

NEW: In February, I visited Raw Farm. You may have heard of it. RFK Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are customers. It supplies raw dairy products to 500 stores nationwide. And regulators have linked it to over a dozen recalls and outbreaks that have made hundreds sick. 🧵👇

My mayor Muslim My bagel Jewish My Christian Dior Knicks in Four This simple statement of the four principal religions of New York City has trampled the Internet, and for good reason.

An anti-Trump tweet from Knicks star Josh Hart is going viral ahead of Trump attending the NBA Finals.

KNICKS FANS: “Let him come. We’re gonna boo the f*ck out of you bro.” Knicks fans react to Trump selfishly coming for Game 3, which will mean 2 hour security lines and a lot of bad energy

Trump has ruined people going to the Garden for the Knicks. In response, Mamdani has put up screens in Bryant Park.

Morning chalking outside MSG. GO KNICKS! BOOOOOO TRUMP!!!!!!!!

Knicks watch parties canceled… Trump ruins everything….

my favorite part of the “democrats steal elections!” narrative is how we very cleverly lost the white house and the house and the senate

“Better than Vietnam” is some incredible marketing.

Three dozen medical experts say President Donald Trump ‘mentally unfit,’ should be removed from office with ‘greatest urgency’ 36 neurologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals said they had seen “objectively observable” signs of serious medical concerns.

Navarro: Do you think though they can trust those assurances? Pelley: No. No. I would venture to say that trust is broken.

There are literally women running against Platner.

Platner just isn't the guy you wish he was. Sorry.

And yet, NYT is also being accused of soft-pedaling the allegations to help Platner. nypost.com/2026/06/05/u...
