Isn't the whole Wall Street narrative that guys like Steve Cohen are extremely smart masters of the universe?

If you don't adjust for inflation I am thinking they may be the team with the highest payroll to miss the playoffs ever?

One thing I can enjoy is that the 2025 Mets are the team with the highest payroll to ever miss the playoffs in the history of the new format.

I did a nice thing once.

This guy was a rockstar and still is.

Jake Lahut @jakelahut.writes.news · 22h

Yes: @hunterw.bsky.social noticed my questions on the Pete Buttigieg campaign bus in late 2019, and alerted @anthonylfisher.bsky.social to my existence. That led to an introduction via Twitter DMs, and that's how I got my first job in a national newsroom

I always try to link to original work but not like manipulative discourse bait

Geoff Buchan @rotovalue.com · 19h

Usually linking to the original source is gpod! But I can also understand not wanting to drive traffic to that site,

Zach Goldberg @zgoldberg.bsky.social · 23h

DC pundits are not-so-quietly rehabbing Halperin. Here's Rachael Bade (until recently big name at Politico) and Marc Caputo (Trump whisperer at Axios) having a good time on his podcast:

I was today years old when I realized Bari Weiss' website has been quietly rehabbing Mark Halperin. He's gonna do great on her "debate" show. Can't wait to find out if he thinks MeToo might have gone too far. www.thefp.com/p/mark-halpe...

Phew. For a second there I thought Keaun was cheating on me until I realized you meant someone else.

Gregg @greggwith3gs.bsky.social · 23h

A woman in my town has been sending Keanu money to help him with his car payment. Her family stepped in when she started making plans to move to CA to be with him.
