Knicks fans were doing this to embiid at the line ON THE ROAD

Pauline Astier was the get of the season.

Let’s go Liberty!

Got another Liberty guest hand towel for my bathroom.

I really want to write a newsletter about the spine, which is probably my least lucrative idea yet.

Penny and her daycare friends

This morning, 29 years after I had a rod put into my spine, I finally got around to googling, "Why doesn't the body reject metal implants?"

officially pronouncing the word "oligarch" with a hard r until further notice

Phew, they won by 51.

I'm now getting worried that the Knicks are going to win by less than 50. The goalposts have been moved.

The Hawks aren't utilizing Angel Reese enough.

Penny is getting special “Knicks demolishing the Hawks” celebratory belly scritches.

the Knicks are leading 60-19, which is actually higher than the scoring margin on the scoreboard in this Space Jam gag before it says "kinda one sided isn't it"

This is the happiest I've ever been while watching a Knicks game.

I don't think I have it in me to write another cover letter (the lowest form of writing). Someone should just hire me already.

Looking forward to receiving less than one month's rent.

Evergreen Knicks fan post

This is why I don’t tell my therapist

Watching the Knicks during the playoffs is a form of self-harm.

Excited to see how much of this article is “living abroad they can get servants without paying even minimum wage”

Palestine 36 reminds us that it's always appropriate to hate the British.

Me, watching The Sopranos for the first time, relating to Tony because of his eldercare burdens, thinking, "Well, at least he has a job."

THREAD. Tash is 34, her scoring has dropped in the last few years, and I doubt would sign for a vet min. She's far from the only vet who is unsigned, and it's more of a sign of the middle class in sports being squeezed.

This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

having a pretty normal day except every 45 minutes I need to forlornly stare out the window for a minute or two and think about the Knicks game like this

the penne opticon

the new york times are chronic liars and this article is silly... but at the same time if any younger men are interested i'm down ;)

Got the band back together (Penny with her littermate, Davey)

I have but one way of seeing things.

it'll be back in three days

Going to the dentist sends me into an anxiety spiral but at least the one I go to is a huge WNBA/Liberty fan so she set me at ease by talking free agency and the draft. (She actually has tickets to go see the WNBA draft live later today.)

Sewer socialism FTW

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime. It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

The Liberty needs to keep Natasha Cloud in the crazy free agency scramble that's about to unfold just so she can keep doing videos with Zohran about solving municipal problems. (Also because she rocks.)

I'm always astounded at how many mailers from Zionist orgs, both here and in Israel, that I find soliciting donations from my elderly mother. Israel has never paid a bill in its life. It's like the middle age adult son still on the family's cell phone plan (and who has never contributed to it).

No way this doesn't end well.

In 2024 I wrote CUCKOO, a novel about how Americans hate their gay and trans children so much they'd rather kill them than let them exist. Here we are in the middle of another grotesque demonstration of the depth of that hatred.

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

I remember watching this with @thefrankiedlc.news and @dvorameyers.bsky.social while the Nassar fallout never really reached a conclusion with much systematic change and the business interest wing of the USOPC took over for LA28’s bid.

It does not get talked about enough how some of the most strident anti trans women in sport voices got their lobbying start in successfully pushing for the rights of young female athletes who faced systemic abuse but when the system did marginal change and stopped they pivoted to “gender integrity.”

I rarely ever preorder books but I just preordered this one at my local, independent bookstore. I honestly can't wait to get my hands on it.

UConn's Braylon Mullins:

try and imagine a bigger W as an academic

Went to the cafe for a matcha and Penny ended up in an impromptu photoshoot! (Thank you Zahra! www.zahramirmalek.com)

Growing up, I heard people calling Dov Hikind a "ganif" but no one ever seem to criticize him for his involvement in the JDL.

I once asked former New York State assemblyman Dov Hikind - who kept calling Linda Sarsour a “terrorist” for her pro-Palestine activism - abt his time in JDL He said he was “proud” of his membership in the violent group, and then didn’t deny once throwing a smoke bomb into a UN building in New York
