Look at this bag of poison RFK Jr's bestie's film is handing out at NYCC.

Bag of common "fun size" candies in a bag sealed with a promotional sticker for the upcoming film Mercy.

As a Yankees fan who suffered through Kahnle as a terrible reliever for years, I for one am SHOCKED. Shocked that he gave up the walk-off run in a 15-inning ALDS game? No, shocked that he was still rostered as a major league pitcher.

People love to say that you can't get rid of ICE like it's some long established institution.

Finn Wolfhard is *older* than ICE.

Greg Pak @gregpak.net · 4d

Let's make a promise here, friends... we ARE going to abolish ICE. Not REFORM it. ABOLISH it. And we're going to put that massive budget back into funding all the things that actually HELP people.

Hey @nj.com I've been happy to support local media as a subscriber, but just noticed this disclaimer.

This was an article about a supermarket closing. Did you really need a first draft of that by AI?

If a story isn't important enough for a human to write it, maybe it's just not fit to print?

A note stating "N.J. News Report: Generative AI was used to produce an initial draft of this story, which was reviewed and edited by NJ Advance Media staff."

Best part of having your team get eliminated is that you don't have to listen to John Smoltz call a game anymore. #MLB #ALDS

Yankees off-season:

Clean house with manager, coaches, and every number puncher that makes up the analytics team.
Do not re-sign Grisham.
Do not re-sign Weaver
Re-sign Bellinger.
Test Volpe on the market.
Pay Devin Williams to do anything but step on a Yankees mound.

Lol she just glitches out and doesn't respond because Whitehouse did the perfect deflection. Bullies want to lure you in, wait for you to sleep and pounce, they need you to engage, if you just ignore them and continue like nothing happened, they have no counter.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

99-Yard Pick-6. Mahomes is looking good.

Did I say good? Sorry, I meant cooked.

So, @microsoft.com is cool and apparently deleted all of my OneDrive data because I was 144 MBs over the limit. You couldn't have just deleted what I was over? You instead deleted it all? COOL.

Time to acknowledge that Matt Blake's program makes good pitchers worse and woefully unprepared.

I gave them more money and they did a worse job and everyone told me they weren't going to use the funds appropriately but I said, "fool me 37 times..."

State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

Patrick Mahomes is to Cris Collinsworth as literally any team that the Yankees are playing is to John Smoltz.

J.P. @jppolewczak.bsky.social · 10d

Even if my team is going to lose, I just want the series to be quick because even suffering defeat is better than being forced to listen to John Smoltz for any more games than necessary. #MLB #MLBonFOX

Kristi Noem’s message to the NFL for selecting Bad Bunny for the halftime show:

“The NFL sucks and we’ll win and God will bless us and we’ll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day and they won’t be able to sleep at night because they don’t know what they believe…”

Counterpoint: Jared Kushner is actually a piece of shit.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14d

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Meanwhile, the hottest bat in the game was, much derided for most of the season, Anthony Volpe.

"That's baseball, Suzyn."

a german white guy who is a fan of AfD in an ICE tshirt. he has reddish facial hair & some hair on his head. it is difficult to tell how much hair on his head though as his head shape is one i’ve not yet seen. like they put rubber bands around the midpoint of his head when the fontanelle was still soft to form some mutated peanut shape of some sort. of course his pfp is an ai cartoon version that omits these details.

When you didn't win, but you get immortalized.

This one's for you, refs! 🥂 Maybe the receiver Dak was throwing to was just the friends we made along the way.
