used a monkey's paw to wish that the Knicks would be good again
perfectly acceptable stadium food Lissa.

bah. we elder millennials interpret everything through Simpsons references, not Harry Potter.

(i only made about a million Mr. Plow jokes this weekend, even though I was nowhere near the snowstorm)

wow nerd

LOL

i'm more annoyed that Cashman didn't try and push harder to get another arm (I was hoping for Peralta because the Yankees rotation without Cole/Rodon/Schmidt is, uh, yikes). But now I just gotta hope that Cashman tries to trade for Mackenzie Gore (preferably now rather than at the deadline)

Jeff, you're missing the main point of this, which is: WHY WOULD THE EVIL DODGERS DO THIS?

who amongst us has not been distracted thinking about baseball
January 19, 2026 at 3:12 AM
yup. i just don't see this team getting a chip with KAT.
January 18, 2026 at 3:14 AM
KAT, cmon.

putrid.

Phanatic in shambles.

i'm still complaining about the other things, but i am glad for OG. and to see Shamet healthy again and playing (he gets a pass for tonight, the rest of the bench + KAT do not)
January 16, 2026 at 5:44 AM
cmon, it's Jacyn Goble reffing. dude's a former Miami cop who became a ref (and suddenly the Heat went undefeated a while whenever he reffed one of their games). same dude also called the phantom foul v. Brunson a couple of years ago, and the Knicks unsurprisingly have a terrible record with him
January 16, 2026 at 5:41 AM
yup. perfectly acceptable to grumble about our bench, about KAT's sloppy fouls, and about Jacyn Goble always having it in for the Knicks.
January 16, 2026 at 5:25 AM
fuck the Astros.
January 16, 2026 at 5:06 AM
truly.

Clarkson and Kolek haven't been good off the bench either, but oof, Yabu has just been awful.

I'm so over the Yabu experiment.

I can absolutely see it. Cohen being mad that Tucker didn't sign, offers Bellinger something like 4/175 or 5/220 while the Yankees refuse to go more than 32-25m aav.

and then Bellinger is... good, but not Yankee Stadium Bellinger and both the Yankees and Mets fans are mad.
January 16, 2026 at 3:55 AM
my guess is Bellinger to the Mets now, Bichette to the Jays, and Yankees fans being mad about Hal Steinbrenner sitting out free agency.

on the Mets/Belli, I get a very Steinbrenner sense of "i didn't get this guy i offered big money to? how dare he. i'll just overspend on someone else" from Cohen
January 16, 2026 at 3:50 AM
and this is why Melo will never be on my list of favorite Knicks. fuck him for that ego. god forbid he might have to share a bit of spotlight with Lin or anyone else on that team.
January 16, 2026 at 3:45 AM
Brian you can just invest all your emotional energy into the Knicks, it's fine, they won't hurt you or emotionally scar you or anything.

Landry's back!

New from @hmnorthey.bsky.social: the DOE is planning to transfer money set aside for carbon capture tech to revive coal plants from the dead.

When I said carbon capture was being used to keep the fossil fuel industry alive I hadn't quite imagined this lol subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...
E&E News: Trump admin redirects carbon capture funds to prop up old coal plants
The Energy Department says it’s legally sound to shift more than half a billion dollars to help revive old and closed coal plants. Department officials, legal experts and lawmakers disagree.
