Did the team that was previously building around Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Julius Randle underachieve by winning a championship within two years of signing LeBron? Many are asking

John Hinckley Jr. in 1981

Happy Canada Day Eve @davidjroth.bsky.social. Wanted to let you know at the Loose Moose, Blue Jay guys are remembered through the beauty of oil paint.

Solid trenchant thread (And as a side bonus, Go Marquette)

LOL, the Toronto “Beaver Questers” had to pull the American World Cup guy because everyone keeps fucking with it. Palestinian Beaver is good to go tho.

This is incredible flailing at the highest level. The pipes for the win.

These penalty shootouts are so goddamn intensely cool.

how do you not love the world cup

Honestly, The only worthwhile view of the Mets these days.

The Germans have a word for that

Nature is healing

Tennis lifer @gabrielallen.bsky.social wholeheartedly believes it’s high time his beloved sport rids itself of its colonizer roots by ditching the love-deuce-ad scoring system that separates it from every other sport on earth. via @pjsauer.bsky.social www.thesecondserve.com/adam-green-g...

A bunch of fellow Mets idiots on this flight to Toronto, all hooting in agreement that we would like a Bo Bichette refund. LFGM 🇨🇦

Patrick Sauer went to Aqueduct for one final day of grown men yelling obscenities at horses from afar:

I have to say as a Montana to Brooklyn writer guy @williamfleitch.bsky.social, I want to know if Loos knows the whereabouts and well-being of Sarah Vowell. I’m legit concerned. Been AWOL for quite some time.

Every piece of straight news reporting on the fucking fair sounds like a slam, I can't get enough

It’s good to be the King.

HELLO, FROM CANADA! THE SOCCER NATION. 🇨🇦

it’s like something an estranged parent picked up at the airport

Knicks fans bet so much on their team during the Finals that the house actually lost the week of the finals — by tens of millions

For the official the last official winner at the Big A (9th race) was ASSUME NOTHING and I’ll be damned if that ain’t the only way we are gonna be able to get through all of it. Godspeed, Aqueduct.

I’m sorry what the fuck this headline, eh?

After 25-years, my wife Kim, met my barber Frankie. Monumental occasion called for mid-day Rose. mrbellersneighborhood.com/2009/03/the-...

Time for some shoe-leather reporting. Multiple NO DATA CENTER lawn signs spotted in York County, South Carolina.

Spotted in Rural Pennsylvania too. And in Bonner MT they are having a whole night of protest organization at the Ketttlehouse Amphitheater. People ~hate~ these fucking things.

Picked a hell of a week for our first visit to Toronto.

Our building has a staff of eight and other guys who come for bigger maintenance projects. But sure go off, king

I was 3 but I remember hearing about the enormous cake fiasco in Baltimore, because I had family who lived there and because a 35-ton cake crawling with rats really stuck in my imagination www.baltimoremagazine.com/section/arts...

I was five and we went to visit Mom’s Philadelphia family. From Billings, MT it was my first sentient exposure to row houses, huge crowds, Black people and more flags than a kid could wrap his head around. No wonder I moved to the east coast right after college. Go Birds.

The last run for the Queens roses is today at 5:44pm post. THE BIG A IS DEAD LONG LIVE THE BIG A enjoy my last ride below if you please…

Wore that cassette out drinking Schmidt tall boys near the giant Central Park (Billings, not Manhattan) statue. Yes, boyyyyyyyyssss

The Knicks celebration + progressive primary wins + rent freeze seems to be hitting anti-NYCers hard on social media. It's a reminder to me that for many people, my city's function is to reassure them by serving as a semi-abstract idea of hell, and when we don't deliver that, the force is disturbed.

Incredible first person on whatever the actual hell this is.

I don’t know that I’ve ever loved someone more. That includes wife, child, family, etc.

My wife loves our 20-year old Macy’s furniture and found an upholstery crew in East Williamsburg to rebuild from the ground up. Master craftsfolk never cease to amaze. Can’t wait to re-park my ass on it.

I'm pro air conditioning, but i don't think it's right for Britain because i don't want Englishmen to be comfortable

Little tour of the abandoned Aqueduct mall in a zombie movie

Been a long stride since I did @defector.com, spent a thrilling 8-hours at a doomed Aqueduct sacrificing a Game 5 Fort Greene barseat. Worth every last $132 dollar. Thanks: @toley.bsky.social @remas.bsky.social @davidhill.bsky.social & @davidjroth.bsky.social, why not? defector.com/a-final-day-...

Appreciate it

Coming Home was about a guy who’s cock is now useless thanks to Vietnam, the most frightening lesson of 7th grade. (Good job showing how to make up for it tho.)

I worked one (1) day at Aqueduct two decades ago, and wasn't too torn up about never doing so again lol, but its kind of slow sad decline (while the NY tracks I actually work at turn into Event Extravaganzas) definitely gives me a particular feeling. My family used to walk to walk there to bet!

Turkey is the America of scoring a late goal against backups in a match that didn’t matter all that much

I always like to play fun, silly games with my fascist friends

I’m sorry 13 is the funniest possible number

This literally means my family-supporting wife can retire a year earlier. Yeah I’m that old. Fucking hell to the yes @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Until just a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of this lost radio project featuring Rod Serling in the final years of his life. For @crimereads.bsky.social I wrote about "The Zero Hour." crimereads.com/keith-roysdo...
