FUNBAG! With your guest host @brandyjensen.bsky.social !

Tuesday's results made it clear that Zohran Mamdani is no longer just a popular politician who won the mayoralty due to star power and a confluence of terrible opponents, but a bona fide kingmaker in New York City politics, with the ability to help insurgent allies bury even established incumbents.

Torn between my desire to gawk at the Russini article like a rubbernecker and the bleak realization that this is the most held accountable a NYT Employee has ever been in my lifetime

"If you are an establishment Democrat that spent the last three decades sitting on your throne not doing right by your constituents, we’re coming for you." — Hasan Piker on the @hellgatenyc.com livestream

The dude running The Athletic couldn’t be bothered to read past the headline. Of a Page Six article. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

ouch www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/n...

ANALYSIS: Why Mamdani’s primary night sweep could come back to haunt Democrats this fall

It’s illegal under U.S. and international law to kill civilians who pose no imminent threat of violence, even if they are smuggling drugs or otherwise breaking the law. This is called “murder” most of the time, and a “war crime” if it occurs during armed conflict.

No supplemental draft this year, per Schefter

subscribe to @channel6.bsky.social bleeding edge theories like the concept of MCAFEECORE

Really jaw-dropping. STAT can’t say with 100% certainty that Donald Trump got a compassionate use exemption—usually reserved for the terminally ill—for an experimental drug to treat “refractory obesity with obstructive sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension.” They got a lot of non-denials, though!

"Jimmy Haslem owns the Bucks" is a jump scare for the football fans that dabble as basketball fans

Different administration, different context, different guys, but I can't say how much a "we almost made this deal also, actually" report out of the Celtics front office after a big trade feels like home. In a tumultuous world and a chaotic moment, it's nice to be able to count on this kind of thing.

Made it to the beach and am now fully relaxified. Smell ya later

Oh that’s not a good idea

The U.S. is still killing people in illegal boat strikes: defector.com/the-u-s-is-s...

I co-wrote a book of essays about the movie It's A Wonderful Life with @emilystjams.bsky.social! It's out in September. Pre-order it here! www.harpercollins.com/products/eve...

I would die for my country Cabo Verde, a nation I totally knew the location of prior to 10 days ago

Uruguay really pooping themselves

Is the Dolphins stadium a good stadium, like if you go to a game there

I wanna go to Cape Verde so bad now

Mark Singer's obit reminded me how in 1990 Spy magazine sent 58 prominent people $1.11 checks for an unexplained "overcharge... for services rendered." 26 signed it. Then Spy sent 64¢. Half signed that. Then they sent 13¢. Two cashed it: arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, & you can guess the other.

Honestly respect to AXE for still being around somehow

Hey now we’ve got a collapse goin at the Open

Who are you fooling. You’re watching that sorry lot

Aaron jones with like 800

No but the schedule is a joke so they can get to 10 wins easy

Yes and pretty high

3 at the lowest. I have no idea where he SHOULD go because I haven’t watched him much, and because he’s got a serious addiction problem that makes him a five alarm risk at any spot

The second one

Yup

The “QB whisperer” label for him needs to be retired. Also they just signed Kyler Murray so I’m not seeing how KOC is exactly “sticking” with his lemon

No it would have to be an extended disaster out of the gate. We’re talking like 2-10

I still think the Vikings are done with him and I’ll believe that until they’re forced to play him in a pinch. Otherwise he’ll be QB3 behind Wentz

No

No

I’m in the minority but I don’t like cold pizza. I heat mine back up in the toaster oven or on a skillet

No

It’ll be laws that force the league out of the gambling business. The nfl itself isn’t gonna pull the plug for something as trivial as ethics

I still love him but I also loved Keon Coleman coming out of college. Luther Burden is gonna ascend to WR1 this season and Odunze will just be decent

I hope I never wrote about Aaron Rodgers again. He’ll last the season and suck.

Flacco. I feel like I already know the guy.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.

All of them will at some point. That’s just how it works

Zay Flowers

I don’t care either way. I prefer games played outside on grass but teams are gonna do what they’re gonna do. I do NOT agree with Kurt Warner et al who say ALL NFL games belong in domes. That’s stupid.
