Another series, another Achilles

The evidence here is very simple: if you go into DOGE actually trying to improve efficiency, and then try to work transparently and report the truth that existing government teams are functioning very efficiently already, they will can you. sahillavingia.com/doge

I figured The Last Of Us season finale would be less upsetting than watching the Knicks.

“The six Achilles tendon tears suffered this season marks a new high for the devastating injury, passing the previous record of five set during the 2014-2015 season.” instreetclothes.com/2025/05/13/u...

Just saw a fledgling bird in a puddle having a great time flapping and was reminded everything is terrible except birds and the Knicks🏀

Knicks came back from 20 down again, glad I kept watching

@anakanaschofield.bsky.social I missed the Clippers-Nuggets fight, did you catch it?

It's amazing the shit I took for giving this obvious prognosis in 2016 -- back before you were allowed to say it, and now it still gets me banned, because I told the truth too early on national TV and that makes it hard for officials to feign ignorance!

I wish all these "OKC came back from 29 down to win!" headlines acknowledged that this happened only after Lu Dort took Ja Morant's legs out from under him. Just as when you unexpectedly take someone's queen in chess, things can turn around very quickly.

Switched from TNT to MSG in time to hear Clyde say: “That’s the Knicks’ problem: ineptitude.”

So Moyes can go to Bramley-Moore

Everton now mathematically safe after Ipswich's defeat against Arsenal

“People want to see in politics and news and media those kinds of moments — the home runs, the dunks, the blocks, the rejections — and that never really existed before.” wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

And the final score at Goodison Park: Manchester City 2, Michael Keane 0

"Michael Keane doesn't even see him coming" 🙃

The New York Times reporter answering the question “Did Trump Manipulate the Stock Market?“ in the vertical video on the homepage is wearing a Star of David necklace. I wonder anyone there was aware it was visible, and I hope they don't get any flak for it.

Jon Champion said Coufal got a yellow card because he uttered several ex-PLEE-tives, is that how they pronounce it in England?

McNeil to Doucs!

All of the Moyesiah memes I've been able to find out there play on Christian iconography. They put the Everton (or earlier West Ham) manager in Henrik Olrik's Sermon on the Mount or the Sacred Heart, or give him a halo

Fuck your feelings. My feelings, on the other hand....

I knew Katz’s was not kosher, let alone for Passover, but I did not expect to be required to take some chametz with your matzo ball soup and brisket

“In order to be removed, [those who have been put on the death list mistakenly] have to go to field offices to try to prove their identity, a process known internally as ‘resurrection.‘” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Putting aside debates about macroeconomics for a moment In a way, everything you need to know about why tariffs and why not is right here in this trading chart from this afternoon.

“Kids have started attending local events and volunteering for community activities — just for a chance to meet the ojisan from their cards. Participation in town events has reportedly doubled since the game launched.“ www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainmen...
