When it’s time to foul Mitch 37 times per game in the playoffs next year

fun fact: Balogun in Yoruba basically means "general" or "commander" but most literally translates to "war dad"

As an educator & former recruited athlete: these folk are describing how the kids of upper middle class parents play volleyball & then pitch themselves to Division III schools like Bates or Oberlin where sports are an afterthought to get a leg up in admissions. Trans kids are being scapegoated. 1/

Sure the DSA candidates can win in blue districts, but can they win in districts in which we also do not win?

unless we get the promised DSA insurrection it's gonna be like roe v wade, where democrats campaign on protecting it while behaving like it's actually settled, and republicans strategize on how to chip away at it (the news of which is emphasized in dem fundraising emails) and eventually overturn it

What the hell has happened to Sabrina Ionescu?

I was kind of hoping that the Washington-Portland game would go to a fifth overtime.

The reporting and stories coming out of Israel's prisons and detention centres of the treatment of Palestinians are absolutely horrific. This is torture of the worst level

Why oh why does it only go into effect in October when my rent stabilized lease is up for renewal at the end of July? (But seriously, amazing victory. Love living in Mamdanistan.)

Marine Johannes passing to a ghost.

new yorkers en masse have expressed their enthusiasm for democratic socialism. but these forty men surveyed in the waiting room of the coeur d’alene family court have a different perspective

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

A stranger just told me that I was “giving Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl” and you know I’m taking that energy into the rest of the day.

I usually meditate in the morning but today decided that scrolling through posts of Zionists freaking out over last night’s primary results is what my soul needs.

An Orlando green card applicant was given permission to travel to Egypt after his father’s death. When he returned, ICE sent him to a PA concentration camp for six months. During which he suffered vision loss and lost 45 pounds. He wasn’t informed of kidney disease diagnosis for 2 months.

Chef's kiss, salute, tears, all of it

Ghana do it for all of us

Universal childcare is great and everything but when is Zohran gonna keep his campaign promise to bring down the price of a halal platter?

Voted to keep the “commie” in “commie corridor.”

She’s still kinda goofy despite the cone.

Maybe we shouldn't give Sabrina minutes until she's actually ready to play.

The goofy girl appears to have pink eye again so she's back in her cone and not looking nearly as goofy as last night.

Look at this goofy face

So this is Batya's reward for years of publicly debasing herself for Trump -- having the White House call her a "moron" and "irrelevant" the moment she offers even a mild bit of criticism.

I’m at a bar watching the World Cup because I don’t want the sports joy to end with the Knicks championship.

telemundo broadcast goated because the commentators will talk about how this pausa de hidratación is unnecessary because it’s actually very nice outside

[choking back tears] greatest city in da world babyyy

I'm kvelling.

James Dolan waited until the NYPD has secured all the Knicks parade attendees in their "viewing pens" before taking out his guitar and performing the single most appalling version of "When Doves Cry" in human history.

bring back shame

Everyone who bought into the idea that “just maybe, in this one instance Dolan deserves his flowers” is a hopeless rube who should be shoved in a trash can and launched into the sun

It was fun while it lasted

Glamour shot

Dylan, on life in your 80’s, is incredible. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o...

Just spoke with the regular UPS delivery guy about our 90s Knicks disappointments. “We can’t celebrate enough,” he said. Vibes still incredibly immaculate.

Spike Lee block party. Vibes continue to be immaculate.

Someone asked which muppet is most out of pocket on Sesame Street in the wake of the Knicks win. While there are lots of good answers, we actually have photographic evidence for this one

Everyone who is scared of cities and multiculturalism is a loser.

IT WORKED

And today I'm taking my mother to her first New York Liberty game. The whole weekend is NY basketball, baby.

My neighborhood is crazy.

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

Shenanigans are underway

I can’t believe it actually happened!!!!

Adam Silver has told the refs to leave Wemby alone because they’re both from the same planet.

if they’re not going to call the fouls, they should let jalen brunson take one really good swing at wemby

The refs are just going to let the Spurs stomp Jalen Brunson to death.

Textbook flagrant, upgrade it after the game.

I had a breakfast burrito on the morning of Game 4 so I had one again this morning. I went to pilates on the day of Game 4 and today I took another class. Can't be taking any chances.

Penny's dog walker reached out to see if she needed any walks this upcoming week to which I replied: "Hard to say. What if the Knicks win and I die from happiness? In that case, she'll need to be boarded."
