Oh no, I love the Mets again.
Lol Kodai Senga wanted the game ball for his first ever save but Carson Benge accidentally threw it into the crowd.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Four former FCC chairs — including Reagan’s and Dubya’s own appointees — just called the FCC’s review of ABC’s licenses “an assault on free speech disguised as regulatory process.”
Carr ordered the review one day after Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired.

PBS spelled “cavalier” correctly even though the Department of Education cannot.
What “they” did to your kids. Remind me again, who was president in the spring and fall of 2020 when the majority of in-person school closures happened?

‘Growing awareness around lactose intolerance, sustainability & healthier eating habits is driving more people towards plant-based options 🌱 But perhaps the biggest change is this: Ⓥ food is no longer being marketed as a compromise’ 🙌

It makes my head explode when I hear a woman who is willing, nay eager to give this hard fought right away. I can’t imagine how they were raised to believe their voice is less important than a man’s.
on this day in 1848 "at the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, NY, a woman’s rights convention, the first ever held in the U.S., opens."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights."

Russell Vought has repeatedly asserted that Donald Trump has the power to suspend spending laws enacted by Congress.
I asked Mr. Vought whether, under his theory, the President could unilaterally defund the DOD, the Supreme Court, Social Security, and Medicare.
He refused to answer.

If you ever wondered where Peter Theil got the name Palantir from & said "Lord of the Rings" your only half right.
The Last Ringbearer is a fanfic from the perspective of Sauron as the "Good Guy". Theil, & others, believe it links directly with American exceptionalism.
That's where it came from.

Knicks may have just finished off the greatest NBA playoff run ever.
NYK finished with the largest margin of victory ever by a champion — 14.9 points per game.
Their 13 straight wins are the 2nd-longest playoff winning streak ever.
16-3 record. One loss over the last 3 rounds.

The most KAT thing of all time — he was holding up the walkway off the court because he wanted to share the trophy with Knicks fans, so he stopped and leaned into the stands to let a bunch of them touch it. They reacted like it was the best moment of their lives.
