For the @theglobeandmail.com, I wrote about the persistent myths and misconceptions surrounding spousal rape, and a novel legal theory that might reframe the way lawyers and judges (and society) counters them.

BBC really burying the lede there

yes it’s tradition that the first priority of every NYC mayor elect is to schedule a meeting with the canadian host of “shark tank”

the Read Max newsletter may be the closest thing we currently have to peak-era suck dot com and I say this as the highest possible compliment

this is it this is the article we've been waiting through all of 2025 for

it's a slippery slope if you acquit the guy who threw the sandwich what's next? you acquit a guy who throws a muffuletta

reunite Key & Peele

book deal miniseries podcast

the only thing missing here is that every company’s AI feature has a cute little name like Rufus or Lola

If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs. All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.

this will do for now bsky.app/profile/kend...

didn’t think it was possible to defeat cuomo a third time but then I compared the speeches

Obama 2004 DNC vibes tbh

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

zohran rap your victory speech challenge

the vibe in NYC suggests a Zohran-related baby boom in nine months.

this is purportedly a video showing that, at the moment the race was called at the Cuomo party, "The Pina Colada Song" kicked in, which plays better than any "Benny Hill" theme overlay or "Curb" theme dub video

turns out it's possible to feel this way even after the world series has ended

Shane Bieber picked up the player option on his contract. Great (and very surprising) news for the Jays, and at $16 million it should be a bargain.

I tell you six months from now when people hazily remember Eric Adams they'll think he was a character from a Key & Peele sketch

what's up NYC

can report live sounds of honking and cheering in streets of brooklyn

vibe shifts, how do they work

people please avoid the bridges tunnels and thruways, the NY Post has reported that one million people will now be leaving New York

has a republican won tonight

secession talk starts tonight

well that was fast

BREAKING: DECISION DESK HQ CALLS NYC MAYORAL RACE FOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI.

don’t go doing that

interesting take because if I was a (jubilant) Dodger fan my pessimistic takeaway from the series might be that Ohtani’s supporting cast is aging quickly and beyond Yamamoto the starting pitching is brittle and suspect and the bullpen non-existent

phone autocorrected “normies” to “Mormons” which, fair

Don't threaten me with a good time etc. but, like.... he won't. None of them will. If Florida or New Jersey or Texas or wherever was such a great place to do business they'd be doing business there.

Bill de Blasio today, at long last:

I generally don’t put too much credence into a NYC-centric media bias but one area where I think this does show up is the idea that people across the country care about who is, or can even name at any given moment, the mayor of NYC

Get the AMERICAN VANDAL team to do it AMERICAN SANDO, coming 2026

now that I have read 10,000 stories on people who *might* leave NYC if [blank] happens I would like to read one (1) story on someone who actually left NYC because [blank] happened

ah yes, aristocracies — known the world over for their innovation, flexibility and capacity to meet new challenges

would watch both a two-hour documentary on the sandwich thrower's trial AND a six-part dramatization miniseries with famous actors reprising all the roles

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Greatest Postseasons of All Time blogs.fangraphs.com/vladimir-gue...

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

I want to know which niche set of voters was leaning Mamdami but will now vote for Cuomo because of Trump's endorsement... feels less like a horseshoe than one of those bloated rainbow-dyed jumbo pretzels from Coney Island

not me, hacking into MoMA's surveillance server now by trying the password "moma"

Wow if only there was a book that explained what Method acting is, where it came from, and how it both reflected and transformed 20th century America. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

would love to have read Roger Angell on this year's playoffs and World Series

me, reading your skeets

how I will choose to remember the Blue Jays 2025 season and postseason:

Wrote about how Game 7 not only had two of the five most impactful plays in history, it also had.. - the most impactful out ever - 3 of the top dozen plays ever - the most plays that swung championship WPA by at least 15% of any game ever (9) www.mlb.com/news/most-wi...
