Why is Richard Lewis ranting about NY’s mayor?

Standing outside a burger and pizza joint in Henderson, NV and this dude in faded GAP shorts and a long sleeve-tee just lit up a goddamn pipe. Like, Popeye-style pipe. It’s not a bong. It’s definitely tobacco not weed. I can’t stop looking. Like seeing a unicorn.

These solver charts are getting way out of hand. #poker

Dude, I’m so happy you got to be there. Feeling the envy.

The transformation of local live music from how good a musician is to how good of a tech expert they are is so thoroughly disappointing.

How the hell are we in the sequel for Weekend at Bernie’s, Dave, Wag the Dog, and 1984 all at once?

My parents had a vendor booth at the massive Ren Fest in Tuxedo, NY when I was 13-15. Let me tell you. It definitely put a twist on my coming-of-age.

I can only speak for me, but at some points, (really) dark humor is the only thing that prevents me from being in a strait jacket rocking back and forth. This timeline fucking sucks. People like you are a glimmer, but after awhile, the glimmers feel like
maybe we just blinked too hard & saw stars.

It’s bizarre because I work in an environment where a guest says that, it’s derogatory and I have to call them out. Outside of work, if I hear it in my circles, I know it’s said with love and admiration. 😂

The next day, I turned 8. My birthday party was in my parent’s dive bar in Bullville, NY. I got a record player with: Huey Lewis & the News (Sports), the 45s’ of Sunglasses at Night, Missing You, and others that I’m not remembering. Best bday ever. 😂

@davidaldridgedc.bsky.social Reading the NBA tanking piece and I swear as I was reading Idea No. 1, I thought “this has gotta be David Aldridge or Coach Thorpe” (I wasn’t thinking about where I was reading it.) Always makes me happy when a writer is so good - you know the byline before you see it.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

What’s the copyright you’re infringing on? I think as long as you hide the network you’re accessing, you should be fine.

Without diving into analytics - just based on feel - Jose Alvarado is going to turn a game and possibly a series this postseason for the Knicks. He really belongs there.

I only watched, I think, three episodes and each one made me progressively more rage-filled.

Based on the headline alone, I thought this was the fucking Onion.

Crazy timing. I heard this song tonight on ‘90s on 9, and because my Navi was up, I didn’t see the info. I couldn’t quite remember their name and thought, “bet I can search OHW’s archive”.

I gotta be honest with y’all… my middle/high school palate thought these things were perfection if you heated them up just right. One second wrong in either direction, though…

If that’s his girl to the right, he’s got his own Maryse, even!

Welp. That settles that.

Sounds like he has some amazing parents!

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover.

Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

I really liked how he handled that stretch in the 4th where things were getting sideways. Didn’t try to do too much, stayed centered and focused and took the reins along with BI. That will come in handy in a few months.

You know the edible is kicking in when you see your own skeet and without realizing you posted it ten minutes earlier, you think… “ya know, that’s quite the salient point.”

Forget the ASG, Jamal Murray may get some downballot MVP votes. Playing his ass off all season and raised his game with Jokic down.

Cade rewarding Robinson for his hustle with an open-3 despite having his own wide open look is the kind of stuff that results in teammates talking about what a great leader you are. #nbasky #pistons

Three’s Company and Lou Rawls? Really catering to people who died 10 years ago.

E…X…L…T…

Sir, that’s the exit sign and you still got it wrong.

I was in her district for four years. Easily the second worst D I’ve ever been a constituent of. (Sinema #1)

I was surprised she hadn’t. Overall, I’ve been way happier to have her as my rep than I was with Feckless Susie Lee.
