From @theathletic.com: The Yankees are one loss away from another season of failing to win a title with Aaron Judge at the peak of his powers. How many more chances will the Yankees get before he starts to decline?

The Yankees’ season is on the line. So are their chances to maximize peak Aaron Judge

The Yankees will need to win three in a row over the Blue Jays to overcome a 2-0 deficit in the American League Division Series.

He’s sending Texans to protect ICE so they can arrest the immigrants that the Texas governor sent to Chicago in busloads.

This entire situation has been created by Trump and the GOP.

Here's the problem with Bluesky:

- Not enough users are talking about the movie where Billy Zane plays Marlon Brando
- Not enough users are talking about the LACK of users talking about the movie where Billy Zane plays Marlon Brando
- As a result, Billy Zane doesn't appear to be on Bluesky

One of my best friends lived next to the lady who tried to get her peacock on the plane as a support animal. It was so loud after she left it in her apt when she went to work.
