I don’t like the Yankees but a lot of people I love do like the Yankees so I don’t actively root against them unless they are playing the Mets.

But between you and me, I’m really disappointed in the people I love who chose to be Yankee fans.
Literally nothing I es t to watch on all these channels I pay for

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Ok so a book comes out that I really want to read but I hate hardcover so I try to wait for paperback but I put myself in the wait list at the library anyway and by the time the paperback comes out I’ve read it for free.

Explain the business model to me.

Trump threw another lavish party as his DOJ asked the Supreme Court to stop it from being forced to pay food stamps for 40 million Americans.
Yes, this is *different* from last week’s Gatsby party. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hosts-...

Cuomo Backers Burned $65 Per Vote, Including $13.3 Million From Bloomberg
A blizzard of outside spending on ads, including a spot that linked Zohran Mamdani to 9/11, failed to move voters and may have even backfired.

For all the anger at the pitiful Democratic leadership, rank and file Democrats seem to be demonstrating that they are actually in charge of the party and will set its direction. That is a good thing. The GOP belongs to one man; the future of the Democrats is up to every Democrat.

you've got to click around on this map, and the graphics here ... it's astounding. @haidee.bsky.social did such a great job with this:

@nymag.com Just a note to a guy who thinks you’re not American if your grandparents were immigrants: You’re not Catholic if you don’t feel crushing guilt for every little thing you have done (or have failed to).

Also Catholics don’t go “to church.” They go to Mass.

We always cancel a few streaming services during baseball season (162 #Mets games take up most of our couch time). But we just re-upped hbo and now we’re mainlining The Pitt, and friends, we’re only at hour nine and I am exhausted.

In my head the average Blue Jays fan is represented by the dad from Kim’s Convenience and that’s another reason why I’m rooting for them.

As an aside: #Mets announcer Gary Cohen is the model for taking time to learn how to say people’s names correctly. It is not just a nice thing to do — it’s a requirement for folks who communicate for a living.
