He’s sold out the big theater at Moving Image talking about his work like, I believe multiple times. I was there for one talk. What a legend

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social fix this

Gary, Ron and Keith’s telecasts wouldn't be as revered if not for the cinematic visuals of @johndemarsico.bsky.social. The SNY crew was really Gary, Ron, Keith and John. What a loss for not just Mets fans, but for all of us who tuned in to the best broadcast in sports. Baseball is cinema forever!

DHS just sent another statement about ICE’s abduction of a 5-year-old in Minnesota. They didn’t address my question about whether the child was moved to Texas. They also didn’t provide any evidence for their claims. They are, however, claiming the child’s “alleged mother” actually abandoned him.

There’s a lot to celebrate with these Oscar noms. SINNERS deserves all 16. Delroy Lindo and Wunmi Mosaku weren’t guaranteed and got in. That’s great! But I’m baffled by the Chase Infiniti snub. She goes toe to toe with Leo and Penn and is the heart of OBAA’s final 2 acts. It doesn’t work without her

Congrats @baumann.bsky.social!

Delroy Lindo FINALLY gets his due!!!

I would support this

Broken Record: Dodgers Land Top Free Agent Kyle Tucker While Setting a New Contract Standard blogs.fangraphs.com/broken-recor...

I interrupt my vacation in Mexico City to say that I, too, would sign with the back-to-back World Series champions for $240M if I could. Don’t blame the Dodgers or Tucker. Blame your team’s owner instead.

Nikki Glaser calls out CBS News at the Golden Globes while it’s being broadcast on CBS. “And the award for Most Editing goes to CBS News. Yes, CBS News, America’s newest place to see B.S. News.”

I made a reference to THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER tonight at a wedding rehearsal dinner tonight and nobody got it. Civilization is crumbing.

Let’s go Rams, baby!

Cliff Booth has a Detroit Tigers keychain?!

Confirmation here. katu.com/news/local/i...

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

At least one person is gonna have an AFTER HOURS night tonight because OMNY cards no longer work

I can’t wait for the Rams to cut D.J. Humphries after the game.

No contract, no coffee. Starbucks workers are still on strike.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

I'm not gonna rip the White Sox for signing a big free agent who has absolute monster power and is only 25. But there's a real--perhaps better-than-even-- chance his hit tool keeps him from even being a major league-quality hitter

How is Brady Cook on an NFL roster right now?

Rob Reiner’s chameleonic nature as a director empowered others to shine, but it also made it so he would never get his proper due for his skill as a filmmaker. I wrote about Reiner in the latest edition of The Martell 100 and updated my top 100 rankings: mattmartell.substack.com/p/the-direct...

New Martell 100 newsletter is out! I wrote about Rob Reiner and updated my top 100 movie rankings:

Why does Al Michaels sound bored on every touchdown call tonight?

Why is Kyren Williams not in the game?!?!

Text from my dad after Darnold’s 3rd down pass was knocked down

I hate football

I am a Seahawks fan and @mattmartell.fangraphs.com is a Rams fan, so if you want to know when Kyle Tucker is going to sign, I have some guesses depending on how rude the universe wants to be.

As the credits rolled at the end of HAMNET, some man in front stood up, turned toward the rest of us and announced, “Everybody! Just so you know, Shakespeare wasn’t real!” He then exited stage left.

I just don’t understand what war with Venezuela would even look like? We’ve got less than 10k Marines down there and you can’t win a war from the air. Are they just going to half-ass this for content and declare it a success when they get the videos they want?

Accidently referred to "Ryan Braun's Ballot Tracker" in the submitted draft of today's Hall of Fame candidate profile. Obviously, @mattmartell.fangraphs.com caught it in the editing process, but I feel compelled to apologize to @notmrtibbs.com and crew nonetheless. Up soon @fangraphs.com

The Knicks should parade the trophy through the New York New York casino tonight

The NBA Cup is stupid. I watched GRAND HOTEL (1932) instead… go Knicks tho

Tigers Sign Kenley Jansen's Old Ass, Baumann Reacts

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

"Oh, cool, I didn't know they made a movie about Ryan Pressly's arm"

I desperately want to know what Matt Shaw thinks about WAKE UP DEAD MAN

The Mets are hilarious

Way late but in honor of the Alonso signing I’m bringing back the only post about him in relation to the Baltimore Orioles that will ever matter

This would be deeply funny

JetBlue now partners with A24. I’m on a flight to Orlando for the Winter Meetings. More than half of the passengers are from a children’s foundation making a group trip to Disney. Thankfully, BEAU IS AFRAID isn’t one of the in-flight movie options.

We live in hell

It's quite amusing that I read only 26 of the 28 articles I wrote in 2025

Bill Bergen!!! It's @fangraphs.com Walk-Off Day!

I declare that the week between Christmas and New Year’s shall henceforth be known as the Lobe of the Year.
