Knicks, Islanders, Mets, Napoli, the light of Islam, and world communism
Every time the Islanders win a game the cope from every other fanbase is always “ah well Sorokin just stole the game,” but if he does it every single time then at a certain point he’s not stealing it. At a certain point Sorokin is just that consistently good. You just don’t watch the Islanders.
You know it’s easy to lose perspective, but whenever I see someone less fortunate than myself I try and think “there but for the grace of G-d go I,” and then I give charity to my Jets fan friends.
Way too close of an ending but I’m happy the Isles were able to secure the win tonight. Despite a bad 2nd and some sloppy stuff towards the end of the 3rd it was a good game from the squad. Also really happy to hear the chants for Duke. He’s earned it.
Really excited about the prospect of professional soccer on LI in the future. Obviously a USL side is going to have some turbulence and risk attached to it but I know at least I’ll be there as an early fan, and hopefully they’ll be able to establish a more permanent presence here.
Happy the Isles at least put up some fight tonight, though I would have liked to see at least an OT point. At least Napoli won in convincing fashion
As upset as I am with the Liberty getting bounced, I wouldn’t be upset with Reese winning a championship

The same thing I’m reading every weekend: In Search of Lost Time. I’m always reading In Search of Lost Time. I haven’t left the house in months. If someone asks me how my day’s been I don’t even answer anymore. I just say “In Search of Lost Time.”

The NY Liberty beat the Lynx as the 8 seed AND the Fever have been knocked out of the playoffs. Hoping the Liberty win it all but genuinely the playoffs can’t go poorly for me from this point on, the worst outcomes have been avoided.
Guy who moshes to Bauhaus cause they have a song called Kick in the Eye is this anything
One experience I genuinely like just cause it’s always funny to me is someone asking me if I’ve read something with the assumption I had, and then getting a very befuddled “really???” when I inform them I haven’t
Sean Manaea is wearing a "New York Is Love" Mets Pride shirt after pitching six solid innings to beat the Texas Rangers, the MLB's only team without a Pride night. Perhaps coincidence, perhaps not.
What level of terminally straight edge is it where I’m really heavily considering getting a swatch?
Mets really have one of the worst fan bases in sports. You would think the Mets have the historical record of the Yankees with how fucking toxic Mets fans get
People are saying the fan reaction to Alonso isn’t “about the Mets players on the field, just Stearns” but then they were booing Tong as he walked Alonso. I love Alonso. Booing your rookie pitcher during one of the best starts of his career is insane.
This is a poorly written and I know nothing about this book and don’t really care too, but I’m losing my mind at how many people are taking issue with “gravitational pole” when the author clearly mean “a pole things gravitate towards” and not some scientific metaphor about the force of gravity.
Jack Bailey@jack-bailey.co.uk · last mo.As a result, it's hard to know what "hyperpolitics" really means. You have to chase it down. Of course, that makes it hard to argue against because the author can just say "you haven't understood it". E.g. here's the thesis statement, which does not define hyperpolitics at all.
Miracles are such a uniquely terrible way of proving the existence of G-d or the truth of any given religious claim that it’s honestly shocking how often it seems to still get used by certain groups contemporarily or historically as an argument.
