For all I know, letting Pete walk away MAY just be the right choice. But I've not known the Mets without him and this really, REALLY sucks.
Thanks for the memories, Pete.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

I'm just laughing my head of right now because when the RMS Lusitania was taking its final plunge, the ship's wireless guy was holding onto the railings of the stern... and he then PULLED OUT HIS CAMERA, turned to his colleague and was like "this makes a great shot!" 😭

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

I won't miss Brandon Nimmo, ngl. I felt conflicted whenever I saw him on the field given what his views were during peak COVID were and that he's a MAGA guy - I know they are everywhere in MLB nowdays, doesn't mean I have to accept them - and that I won't have to deal with that now feels kinda good.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them
