Doctors at the CDC say children should receive Covid vaccines. A disgraced ex-environmental lawyer who spent 20 years abusing heroin says they shouldn't. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Celebrate the Knicks writing a glorious new history with @shwinnypooh.bsky.social & Pod Strickland, making history all its own www.youtube.com/live/p_wH3z7...

Standing up for the silent majority of voters who celebrate and treasure their right as Americans to owe $11,000 for getting rushed to the hospital on one of the worst days of their lives. It's called "being moderate" and it's how you win elections.

Whether Elon Musk is serious about leaving whatever the fuck he was doing, everyone should remember that in the early stages of DOGE, he and his teenage accomplices ransacked, copied, and absconded with almost every US citizen’s most private information. The largest crime spree in history.

“These Knicks are built for this. When you back them up against the wall, you end up fighting the wall, too.” @matthewmiranda.bsky.social recaps a wire to wire Game 5 win with notes on Jalen, KAT, Shamet, Thibs, and much more. www.thestrick.land/strick/knick...

Saturday will be my 16th Game 6 as a Knick fan: 7 vs. Indiana, 9 vs. the other 29 teams

If this vile psychopath drops dead today, I’ll start believing in god again

Has there ever been a best-of-7 in any sport with two teams farther apart than Edmonton & Sunrise, Florida?

48-minute endorphin

Pacer starting 5: 13 buckets Jalen Brunson: 12 buckets

I've come to accept Hart's sudden vow of celibacy -- he doesn't wanna push for transition buckets anymore, his call. I could live without passing up a shot at the rim in favor of giving KAT the ball 30 feet from the hoop in full acceleration

John Starks telling the ref Bradley stepped out lol man's a true Knick

karl-anthony towns would average 40 points on a 50/50/90 shooting slash if he played exclusively with four randos plucked off the street

Translation: KAT has no cartilage left anywhere in his body & will play 48 tonight

Gonna groupfund hiring a Castro to extraordinarily rendition Marco Rubio to a Cuban prison

The word "genius" has reached Willie-Mays-as-a-Met levels of cooked

He's right

Multiple sightings of "Knicks should start Dadiet!" takes confirms even if the season isn't officially over, for all intents & purposes it is

For episode 61 of Pull Up with Myles and Owen, we’re joined by @benpickman.bsky.social for a long overdue chat! Ben talks early-season takeaways, his journey covering women’s basketball, and gives insight into the current CBA negotiations. Here, he discusses Tash Cloud’s fit with the Liberty. 🔗 ⬇️

And in an unexpected twist, it turns out the most punk rock things of all are supporting public broadcasting and patronizing your local library and not cheating on your homework with AI

Tucked into House tax bill last week was a provision that would let sports team owners write off only half of their assets — like player contracts + sponsorships — instead of all of it. It would apply to future, not current, owners, and could hurt team sales. From NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/b...

Evelyn Brent was major leading lady in the early Pre-Code days, but you rarely hear about here. I often think of her as Barbara Stanwyck's older sister, and this scene with Conrad Nagel from Pagan Lady (1931) may show why.

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

Can't wait for the Democratic Party to shove Gavin Newsom down our throats in a general election and then blame leftists when he inevitably loses because he sucks shit

New aquamarine w/a permanent rainbow inside it. In case you need some rainbow in your life tonight

Clearly, Thibs needs to stop starting people
