My fair lady
Short track speed skating relay has too many damn people skating around the ice - it looks like a Busby damn Berkeley musical! I keep waiting for a horde of cowboys to bust onto the rink and start throwing punches!

In Jackson Heights (2015) might be the single greatest documentary ever made about New York City
Frederick Wiseman was perhaps the best chronicler of Modern America in any medium, full stop. RIP.

I will be strong and sit through his four-hour funeral
RIP Frederick Wiseman. The most intellectually stimulating filmmaker I’ve ever encountered

RIP Robert Duvall. I hope you and Jimmy Caan are mooning Marlon Brando, wherever you are now. www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/m...

McQuade being on The Simpsons means he now has something in common with Elton John, Tony Hawk, Thomas Pynchon, and Joe Millionaire

You cannot tell me that's not not Dan McQuade.

Top right corner. Can't help but wonder if The Simpsons paid subtle tribute to Dan McQuade in tonight's set-in-Philadelphia 800th episode.

Hearing reports that yes, it is
So is that @dhm.bsky.social at the top right?

Yeardley Smith? The co-star of Herman’s Head?

Wild to see the curling shot clock get down to the tenths of a second

This curling match is Nor going the right Way for Team USA’s opponent right now.

First time I met Sally was at Shea Stadium so I had to fix that situation and take her to a real park (Yankee Stadium) for our first date a week later. Both games were against the A’s, who scored just one run in each game.
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?

My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.
On our first date, my spouse and I spent like an hour talking about footnotes.

ICE is spending $38 billion to open detention centers and field offices all across the country — including RIGHT HERE in Essex County.

They want to move into a building in Roseland that's right next to a childcare center.

Hell no.

I'm no curling expert but having followed @suss2hyphens.bsky.social for the past nineteen Olympics, I'm pretty sure these players can rather freely switch teams intra-country???

No heartthrobs on the US men’s curling team, it’s all dweebs. (I’m allowed to say this, as a dweeb)

Senator, I'm so glad you are taking the labor issues so seriously but I have just one question...
It was great to meet with leaders from New Jersey UAW.

Working people deserve jobs they can rely on and pay they can raise a family on. UAW and workers across our state are on the forefront of the effort to deliver it, and I’m proud to be in the fight alongside them.

I've lived in NJ-11 for almost my entire life and I held my nose for YEARS voting for some of the blandest Democrats. When Malinowski entered this race I was excited to vote for him but when Mejia declared I was like "Tom who?"
BIG NEWS FROM NJ-11: former Rep. Tom Malinowski concedes, congratulates Analilia Mejia on a positive and well-run campaign, blames AIPAC for his loss, and promises to vigorously oppose anyone AIPAC backs against Mejia in June

NEW: Over the last several months, ICE has carried out a secret campaign to place new and expanded facilities for its agents and lawyers in nearly every state and major metro area in the US—over 150 in all. @wired.com is publishing dozens of these locations; @leahfeiger.bsky.social has the scoop:
