Damn! #Isles continue with their OT magic and beat the Blues 4-3 on an absolute beauty from Mat Barzal! They came back down 3-0 to win it. #NHL playoffs got a tiny bit closer after tonight’s huge W.

Amazing! She was part of a fundraising concert for fellow New Jerseyan Bill Bradley’s 1978 US Senate race. I was there! Cast of SNL, Paul Simon and her. Her pitch was simple & direct β€œVote for Bill Bradley, he’s a smart fucking guy!” Took a drink and spit it out all over the front row! Good times!

Question. Which melts faster, this last snow pile in Brooklyn or Trump’s War on Iran?

The Safer Homes Act already has a veto-proof super-majority of sponsors, but its passage isn't currently likely. Why not?

Because Speaker Julie Menin, aligned with landlord interests, may prevent it from being put on the floor for a vote.

Yikes! Although I do think β€œDistinct Waft of Decay” is a great band name!

Yes, and that’s the point. Notice I didnt cite Schumer or Jeffries!

Was just saying this yesterday! When individuals like AOC, Bernie, Harris are more popular than the party that’s a tell.

I try not to bash Slot or specific players…but not playing Rio Ngumoha tonight was certainly a choice. Down 1-0 going to the 2nd leg is not the worst result, but still a disappointing result for #LFC. Hoping a little Anfield magic helps the boys out.

I don’t know, maybe we’re wrong. Wonder if Wrexham could’ve scored against Galatasaray today? πŸ˜‚ Let’s get em next week at Anfield!

10.03.2026 19:47 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Wrexham is a made for TV/Hollywood club, just like the show β€œTed Lasso”.

10.03.2026 19:44 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yep. Pressed to think of a club I’d be less interested in seeing. The Ted Lassofication of football holds no appeal to me.

Ha! Went to Yankee Stadium once and Fenway Park as well. The best part was our seats at Fenway were on top of the Green Monster in Left Field with a perfect view of the pitch. Having finally made it to Anfield last year, no real need to go to Yankee Stadium, especially v Wrexham!

Glad not to see the #Jets in either category! A solid start to the off season, with a total rebuild of the Defense, bringing in 3 instant starters and 4 solid rotational players via FA and trades. Now the obvious needs on offense (plus a PK and edge rusher) I give the front office a B grade.

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

Disclosure: I've been a participant over the years in these Jewish People Policy Institute polls. Today I asked them to remove me from their "respondent panel" unless they commit to no longer misrepresenting their findings as being representative of Jewish Americans overall.

So we call upon the City Council to pass the NYC Know Your Rights Act, pass the NYC Trust Act, and do everything you can to support and strengthen our sanctuary laws, which make our city safer for all of us. 3/3

Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

A lot of wild stats for #UCONNWBB in that 1st half. My favorite? The starters shot 21-24 on the way to scoring 57 pts! @uconn.bsky.social

That may have been this most dominant quarter from UCONN WBB I’ve seen this year. Up 29-9 v Creighton and it could’ve been worse! @uconnwbbhighlights.bsky.social going to be busy today!

The only song I played for him was a live version of The Rolling Stones’ Sweet Virginia.

β€œI’m so glad he’s a Rolling Stones fan,” I told my wife while we got to spend time with him before he was taken to the morgue

So very sorry for you, your wife and your boys. May his memory be a blessing.

Happy #SocialistSunday everyone. I see Tony Blair wants us to be dragged into yet another war.

You think after the Iraq war, he’d show just a little bit of humility, but no.

The man is morally bankrupt

Please follow if you agree and I’ll follow you back✊

Two people in custody after 'suspicious devices' found outside NYC mayor's official residence The anti-Islam protest was led by right-wing influencer Jake Lang. It's not clear whether New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was in Gracie Mansion at the time.

Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence.

Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.

Starmer's attempt to play both sides has failed. He tried to look tough on Trump, but failed to condemn the illegal attack.

Then he let US bombers pit stop here.

He's dragged us into the war, and still managed to damage our reputation with the USA in the process.

Subs by Emma Hayes made all the difference…especially Jaedyn Shaw πŸ¦‡ with the assist for the match winning GOLAZO from Alyssa Thompson. Good tourney for the #USWNT in the #SheBelievesCup

Terrific column by @greenparty.org.uk leader Zack Polanski in @theguardian.com Give it a read and see why so many people are joining the Green Party (215k at last count) and demanding change in the UK. Rooting for @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Greens in the upcoming elections.
