Bit of an NYC Madlibs, but just walked past Tyler the Creator filming something inside Barney Greengrass. Hope he gets to try the latkes.

It's 102° right now at JFK Airport. That's the 3rd highest temp ever recorded there (104° on 7/3/1966). Temp still likely to climb in the next few hours.

Mike Epps & Scott Pollard being the two recognizable Pacers fans is just wonderful.

Flood Watch through Saturday morning for the northern half of New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley. 1-3" of rain in a short time could cause river or isolated flash flooding.

No rain yet, but some very cool low clouds over Manhattan tonight.

Two sky scrapers poking out the top of a thick layer of clouds while the rest of the skyline is obscured by the clouds.

Thank you to GQ for providing me a forum to lash out bitterly at my friends and colleagues. Go Celtics!!!!

The Agony of Being a Celtics Fan in New York Right Now

“I’m not, by nature, a confrontational person,” writes comedian and Massachusetts native Josh Gondelman. “When basketball is involved, though, I am an irredeemable hater.”

Been nice to see sunshine the last two days, but I liked it better when my eyes worked & I wasn't constantly sneezing.

Bring back the rain!

Matt Brickman @mattbrickman.bsky.social · May 8

I was wrong.

Matt Brickman @mattbrickman.bsky.social · May 6

Maybe I’ll be wrong, but kinda feels like that’s the one game the Knicks get off the Celtics. 3’s weren’t falling for C’s, KP leaves with an illness & it still took OT for a NYK win. Celtics in 5.

Sorry but the Knicks going 0-10 against the three best teams in the league and 50-21 against everyone else is kinda funny.
