Vladdy: "DAAAAAA YANKEES LOSE!"

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

Same energy.

Whoever is in charge of the constant stream of annoying sound effects at Yankee Stadium needs to be fired into the sun.

Ladies and gentlemen…there’s only one October!

Yankees defeat the Red Sox, 1-3, putting them on track for a series loss.

September 30 October 1

@wpsinbrief.bsky.social asking great questions, again! “Interestingly, not a single one of the outlets that covered the opening of the parking lot talked to parents or caregivers about why they pick up their kids instead of walking or taking the bus.”

Charlie Pierce, Worcester treasure!

CHOTINER: You say the ring has always been yours? GOLLUM: My precious! The filthy Bagginses stole it! CHOTINER: And yet your cousin Déagol found it first… GOLLUM: It’s my birthday and I wants it! CHOTINER: Didn’t you strangle him though and take the ring? GOLLUM: Nobody likes you!

Tremors

Of all the great scenes Robert Redford has been in, this is one is my favorite. Fantastic cast, fantastic writing, and my all time favorite movie cameo. youtu.be/74ocbvwam7c

A Worcester Politics story in two parts:

This isn’t just a problem on Grafton Street- Sunderland Road has similar issues, just on a smaller scale. But getting in line 2 hours before dismissal is behavior I don’t understand. local.newsbreak.com/worcester-te...

Charlie don’t die with his sword in hand during combat, so no Valhalla for him. And no, podcast bros with mics in hand aren’t the modern day equivalent of warriors.

I get my Jeopardy half hour back! No more Kraft cheese!

Probably the truest thing said on BlueSky to date.

You’ve probably seen some of the “WooBox” utility boxes around the City transformed by local artists into works of art, but have you seen them all? Check out this new StoryMap to find them all and learn more about each one. storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d4fb...

Voter 87 in my precinct today.

Worcester Working Families has not done much leading up to this primary today but this campaign finance violation was too important to let pass by. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

“We wanted you and your head sandwich maker and cash register crazy lady to be the first ones on this plane to know our armed forces captured Sandwich Guy for you tonight."

I just saw a Worcester home with lawn signs for Roy, Kamara, Bergman, Davis, and Petty.

I can’t wait for the relentless barrage of Kraft for Mayor ads to end when he loses the primary in September. (And wow am I glad Worcester’s election season doesn’t have political ads polluting my Jeopardy watching).

(Sometime next week…) “Truly I tell you,” Dershowitz answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me pierogis three times.”

Reading the morning news about the WPD standoff at Fremont Street yesterday…

A new wrinkle in the ongoing Market Basket drama… www.boston.com/culture/loca...

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have! Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.

What Olympic sport does this guy compete in? Wrong answers only, please.

You know that feeling when you hear the cat start throwing up in the other room? And you can’t find it anywhere on the carpet and give up searching? And then you settle down, turn on the TV, and realize there’s a smear of something across the screen? Here’s a picture of the guilty party.

Fantastic explanation of a muddled issue that shouldn’t be happening in Worcester.

Exactly.

🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM THE NY TIMES:🚨 In a testament to Mr. Cuomo’s ability to attract voters from both sides of the aisle, EPA Administrator Walter Peck endorses Andrew Cuomo, following Vigo the Carpathian’s endorsement.

Unlimited truce!!!

This will be a must watch.

There are no kings in America because Ash Williams forgot the full incantation to destroy the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis and had to go back to work at S-Mart.

Here's the AP story on the Padilla being "forcefully removed" from the DHS press conference. This (and its updates) will be the one that's in local papers throughout the country.

So thankful we have @shadesofgreaves.bsky.social writing for us. He came through yet again with another banger today. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-s...

Some of y'all can't handle two high-agency males getting at it, and it really shows.
