““I literally thought both of my nuts exploded,” Ruiz said

This story is long and bonkers. Great read. A real kick in the reportage balls.

One punch in the balls derailed a N.J. boxer’s life. Now he’s fighting back.

He feared his testicles were 'obliterated' in a bout. Then the real fight began.

And his cover of Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire” is a much cooler less-sweaty version!

Johnny Cash released his cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" in 2002, shortly before he died - it was an enormous hit, it's hilarious that some guy writing for the Wall Street Journal is just now realizing he was cool

The Eagles letting Jaxson Dart do what he’s doing has really ruined my watching a game on my phone in a chair waiting for an overnight hospital room.

(Small procedure in the morning, I’m fine. Minus this undressing.)

Pretty sure this is a 1996 Bill Clinton-approved campaign ad.

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Fun fact, actual real-life Ned Ryerson was a Martha’s Bineyard buddy of Harold Ramis. His son, Hal Ryerson, worked with my brother for years, remains one of his closest friends, and now runs the outstanding Sweet Life restaurant in Oak Bluffs.

The more you know.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

I loved raising my kids, but doing it again when I'm in my 70s sounds like a nightmare. Groening wrote the comic "Life in Hell" which has apparently become a self-fulfilling prophecy. bsky.app/profile/pjsa...

Thing I learned yesterday:

Matt Groening is a regular ole’ Cletus. The man has ten kids, including two sets of twins under 10 and a 1-year-old. He’s 71.
