The #Mets are doing everything they can right now NOT to make the playoffs. So typical.

Charlie Kirk wasn't from New York. He didn't live in New York. The shooting didn't happen in New York.

In July he Tweeted "Was just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong."

Why did the New York Yankees have a moment of silence for him?

I wrote a big thing on TRACKS II: THE LOST ALBUMS, which features at least one of my favorite Springsteen LPs of the last 30 years.

Another Side of Bruce Springsteen

With ‘Tracks II: The Lost Albums,’ the Boss finally lets us hear the music that didn’t fit into his narrative—including one very horny ’90s record

Not to rain on everyone’s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

Knew it immediately. Didn’t think it’d be this bad…

They really have been a complete mess from the moment Senga got injured. The whole vibe of the team changed. Someone needs to step up and put some fire back in them.

samwilbur @samwilbur.bsky.social · Jun 24

Yeah, this is why #Mets fans are always waiting for the bottom to fall out. Losers of 9 of 10. From best record in baseball to an atrocious stretch.

One absurd injury (Senga) sparked it. A blown 4-run lead ignited it. Complete dumpster fire right now.
