Stilllllllllllllllll Heeeerrrrrrrrreeeeee New lid tho

This movie came out at the perfect subzero moment in time. Sexy fun in the sand dunes mixed with extreme jealousy of playing tennis. Outside. In the sun. Islands is cool. Seek it out.

I’m up in 5-degree weather about to go to Bronx Science HS to spend all day judging my daughter’s (and far too many loud precocious teenagers) debate tournament on the topic of governmental overbite of sports gambling. In case you were wondering who the greatest father who ever lived is…

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

I’m sure few of you are following the “Universally admired and beloved Montana dinosaur expert guy, caught talking young girls in the Epstein files” story, which possibly couldn’t get more awful. Fences can’t hold raptors. Behold, violating sovereign native land so RFK Jr. can get his rocks off.

I refuse to believe the President of the United States did something untoward.

By every one of them writing their goddamn asses off, the @defector.com team honored Dan in the most humanly way possible. Big laughs and blog tears are the perfect tribute. R.I.P. 10…9…8…76ers

Here’s Teasley on hus lufe and baseball times www.smithsonianmag.com/history/ever...

One for the coffee @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social I spoke w/Teasley in ‘24 about the Rickwood Field game. A remarkable man who never got a fair MLB shot, but sure as hell made his baseball mark. Only one Golden Age Negro Leaguer left. 101-yr-old Bill Greason. Obit: www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb/t...

It brings me no joy to let you know that somewhere out there James Woods just poured himself a glass of the special occasion good stuff.

Behold @davidjroth.bsky.social, three grown men trying to remember a guy right in front of them who it turns out is not Dan “the Missile” Issel, although he did play for him… Guesses? (Given a hundred chances, no way I was pulling the Scott Hastings rabbit out of a hat).

A doctor friend of mine got gifted the best NBA seats I’ve ever had, which was also the best neutral NBA game I’ve ever seen. Embrace the good shit.

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Jeff Bezos should be a hero and donate the Washington Post to a charity. Bezos would get a big charitable deduction; the rest of us would get a newspaper dedicated to the public interest. This post from Steven Waldman is from a year ago but it's still a great idea. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...

OR @squawkinsports.bsky.social IN BROOKLYN ON THURSDAY @davidjroth.bsky.social @yaronweitzman.bsky.social SQ SP NATION UNITE! www.eventbrite.com/e/squawkin-s...

Read this. It’s all right there up front.

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Thanks for having me @johnwilliams.bsky.social, we’ll always have Hot Dog Money. (I hope).

Whoever’s last to leave, please kill the Spotlight

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I really enjoyed my time combining the two. This sucks beyond the pale. Feel bad for @johnwilliams.bsky.social and all the book section staffers. Both for their livelihoods and book coverage period. And sports? C’mon, man. Darkness, indeed. FWIW, they just lost another subscriber. wapo.st/4rxzsq5

Happy 8th, Philly “BD” Special

/clears throat as loudly as possible Ahem, @redford.bsky.social @girinathan.bsky.social

The fact that I can’t simply call the NBA Store to see if they have a $90 item in-stock I want to purchase as a gift, before going to Midtown hoping so, is another one of these enshittification moments that end up so wearying as time goes on… It’s a dope present! Assholes!

I’m sorry, I just came across my first ever “grading a mock trade” in the wild and that shit has to end right now.

From that same brother: Pedosaurus

Well, this sucks. Growing up, he was a homestate legend. My brother did dinosaur camp with him. Fuck all these guys into the sun.

I have long held that the Legion of Doom was real. I feel vindicated. Eat shit, Solomon Grundy.

YOOOOOOOOOOO Congrats @petecroatto.bsky.social You’re my favorite prop comic.

Amazing coda here.

/raises hand Yeah umm, this trailer looks amazing but ummm, about that other thing… ummmm yay, nay?

Punxsutawney Phil predicted humanity would annihilate itself through tribalism and environmental indifference

Motherfucking clown @robertsilverman.bsky.social expertise in effect? Oui. Oui.

The two funniest Goodfellas jokes on record in one piece. Bravo!

10/10 ICE protest sign

Fuck ‘em up @stephenrodrick.bsky.social

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

I will not be able to concentrate on anything for the next few days, bathing, eating, breathing, none of it. Please keep me alive to put on makeup and light the lights.

I read the lone positive review and it’s weird in its own right. Verbatim, “First off, she smiles. That’s the big reveal in the film.” A woman grinned in a vanity project. It’s a goddamn Spielbergian masterpiece.

I am going to see my favorite actor in the world tonight from my (somewhat formerly) favorite state in the union in one of my favorite plays I’ve never actually seen performed live in a theater that I love that I haven’t been to in many years and I might even ride the carousel I’m so excited—

SQUAWKIN’ SPORTS LIVE XIX: NBA ALL STAR EDITION Join @davidjroth.bsky.social @lukeepplin.bsky.social @yaronweitzman.bsky.social Yakkin’ old and new school hoops (somehow LeBron is in both camps) over beers as hibernation ends. greenlightbookstore.com/event/2026-0...

Very important vote. It makes repealing ICE surge funding the mainstream position in the party, with bipartisan support.

In honor of the great Catherine O’Hara, we fired up the Mister Softee truck…

Quad Cinema is running a “Cold Front” series and if this shot isn’t the perfect representation of the incredible people of Minnesota…

My kid’s principal gave all 6K Brooklyn Tech kids the “we can’t condone walkouts” but also (🤷‍♂️ 😜 ❄️ 🚶‍♀️ 🏫) in wordless fashion.
