Cal gets to play with Julio Rodriguez, Judge has to play with Anthony Volpe. That would inflate anyone’s value.

Still sad the Blue Jays didn’t win the Destroyed California Award

One of the most upsetting moments of 2024 was how CBS presented this very explicitly as the reasonable Republican approach to the housing crisis during the VP debate pregame show. Pre-Bari, too.

Sometimes you run across an old quote that stops you cold. From a Jayson Stark article in January 2000:

I'm assuming this is not the first "Royals face decision on India" headline the Times has ever run, though perhaps the first in about 80 years www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

All I can think is were Democratic oppo researchers catatonic for the last 10 years?

Randy Mastro is going to ratfuck the city as much as possible on his way out the door. The lame duck period is too long.

I am begging you all to get a fucking grip

Basically, the choice is to have an app where people get in trouble for this kind of thing, or an app where people are constantly making death threats.

Corporate death penalty

What a tedious asshole this guy has always been. Good riddance. I can’t wait to ignore Eric Adams forever in 49 days.

please stop showing me the AI beer jacket. how stupid are you people

Can someone tell me who murdered their baby here?

Yeah I think we can call this little paint-on-subway-tile experiment now, time to pack it up!

"cyclists have learned to wait at least five seconds after they receive a green light because, without fail, the driver of a 3,000-plus-pound machine will be blowing through the red light "

I am not a crazy ideologue. I just think that the richest society in human history has a moral responsibility to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, treat the sick, and house the homeless. If doing that requires forcing comfortably-housed people to accept neighborhood change, I'm ok with that.

peekaboo!

Why the fuck are people betting on individual pitches? Why the fuck are people betting $200 on individual pitches? Why the fuck are people betting more than $200 on individual pitches?

This was not a surprise to anyone who followed me and other actual reporters who know Supreme Court procedure. The only places it succeeded were to generate donations for Liberty Counsel and to prompt clicks through ragebait headlines from your favorite resistance grifters. Sorry, it's true.

What if we brought back cigarette smell in public places but made it tutti frutti?

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

The Senate exists for the same reason that the ACA doesn't have a public option: it was negotiated to placate the necessary votes. Slave states were nervous about being beholden to public will so we massively over-elevated state representation. www.law.cornell.edu/constitution...

This is Schumer’s real crime.

NY Post story by Wednesday about how she says “I am le tired” aloofly whenever Zohran does the dishes

Clase's 2025 salary was $4.9M, and he threw 746 pitches on the year before his July 28 suspension, which means he earned $6,568 per pitch, just for pitching normally.

I don’t understand how someone who follows politics *for a living* can still be regurgitating middle school social studies talking points about the purpose of the Senate instead of, you know, looking at how the Senate actually operates in real life.

Underrated aspect of killing the filibuster is making pundit hacks at Cook Political p-p-p-piss their pants

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Forgot to thank @bradlander.bsky.social for showing up for @law360union.bsky.social while we were on strike last year, but hey, no time like the present!

Neither of these guys should really be in Congress, but it would be so goddamn funny to see Andrew Cuomo get rinsed by JFK’s weird zoomer grandson

i truly believe teaching kids to swear properly and express their feelings through carefully crafted verbiage is healthy, especially compared to the alternatives puritan culture encourages plus they’ll be the envy of the schoolyard. it’s a guaranteed cool kid pass through at least 6th grade

It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all. And here she is at the loser party with him.

A shark can’t change its spots

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

This is what Schumer allows to fester. Nadler doesn't have the same gravitas but if Schumer merely took Nadler's position on Zohran, I don't think Suozzi and Gillen feel so comfortable to lay those Islamaphobia broadsides. Though perhaps HJ is more guilty here since they're in his caucus.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up

Usually I don’t think rank and file employees at bad companies deserve to be held responsible for bad products - it’s usually leadership that bears responsibility. But I think the people involved in designing these bots and marketing them are fully culpable here

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions

Well, I see where we need to extend the subways.

if you can't handle journalists asking clarifying follow up questions you have no business managing reporters. go run a dick's sporting goods
