This is what always confused me: anyone from New York should be rooting for the Buffalo Bills, because the Jets and the Giants aren't even in New York state. They're in New Jersey. Any self-respecting New Yorker can't stand New Jersey.
Why are NYC viewers forced to watch another miserable Jets game on Channel 2, while Josh Allen is leading the Bills (the only true NY team!) to a possible comeback win against the Partriots?

They asked Josh Allen "are you okay you were puking on the sidelines" and he's like: "oh yeah I throw up one or multiple times every single time I play football"

Turned on the DARK KNIGHT RISES after the Bills going down 21-0 and pleasantly surprised to see Glen Powell and Juno Temple in the movie. I use the term "movie" lightly. Because pretty much every line of dialogue explains the images captured in the film. It's a radio play; not a movie.

To say the least I am through the roof happy to follow up this column that the Indiana Senate has rejected this map, 31-19. That is a big, big L for Trump and his chumps. substack.com/home/post/p-...
Indiana Redistricting
Why are they redistricting when it's so unpopular in this state? It's easy: to get Trump to STFU.

I teach ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD regularly. Probably my favorite playwright.
Damn.
Tom was, all round, a scholar and a gent. My dad envied his quietly perfect artist’s wardrobe and treasured his friendship. As did I.
Travel well. I hope the wine’s okay.

loudsingledadPaying child maintenance does not make you a victim.It is the basics of being their dad.I know some dads did not choose this situation. Breakups happen, courts get involved, the system is messy. But at the end of the day, those kids are still yours. They still need food, clothes, a home and a parent who shows up, even if you do not live there.If you are already paying and trying to be present, this is not aimed at you.#singledad #coparenting #singleparent #childmaintenance #dadlife #parentingtruths

Exactly. Most of us Millenials are like, fine, Clinton goes down with the ship. Sure it's terrible, but this isn't news for most of us who were teenagers during the Lewinsky scandal. Honestly I was like and this is news why?

Between Ross Doubter (see what I did there?) and Ezra Klein the NY Times currently employs the two primary gaslighters of modern media that are not at Fox News. Let's reboot the whole thing.
Before I was a novelist I was a newspaper columnist and while I loved that gig, I have this fear that over the course of time my whole shtick would have become a series of unpleasant "just asking questions" columns that would make people want to avoid me socially, I mention this for no reason
Did the New York Times ruin journalism?
