I don't watch the show much anymore, but it feels like Ryan Gosling hosts SNL every other week.

It's amazing how much better suited Trump is to politics than he was to business. At least in business there were thousands of other people to do business with after he screwed you, whereas in politics he's one of two choices.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I just can't quit this sh*t.

What do you suppose the chances are we can get Mark Mangino on Bluesky?

Such a joy to talk to @joelanderson.bsky.social of @theringer.com.web.brid.gy about a forgotten game he'll always remember. The 2007 Louisiana Class 2A Semifinal football game between St. James and Calvary Baptist. A story that has everything, including drive-thru daiquiris.

How come nobody told me there’s a baseball player named Janson Junk?

In the dating show genre, which show best simulated the actual experience of dating at the time? Naked and Afraid?

@sethrosenthal.bsky.social Clay Travis is accusing @sbnation.bsky.social of having a shadowy "secret base" at which they produce three hour and forty minute documentaries about the history of the Seattle Mariners that make people want to change their gender, care to comment?
