I hate folks who cant be honest. Doesn't matter the situation. Its so much worse when it involves my work. When I find out you lied, I'm legitimately mad and upset. If you tell me from the get go a diff direction or something else is happening fine. But if it turns out you lied I'll never forget it.

The Knicks not partnering with a NYC jeweler to make these rings is so ridiculous. Dolan fucking up like usual.

Reminder, the Hope Florida Foundation scandal is the one where Gov. DeSantis's admin. (with an assist from his wife) misappropriated millions in funding by diverting them to the Republican Party of Florida, so of course they don't want anyone talking about it.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

President Trump has pushed to move briefings out of the White House press room. Aides say he wants an indoor swimming pool instead. nyti.ms/4eoW3AV

Pretty cool of Billy K to be doing some shows around thanksgiving in Hawaii to benefit a local venue with some solid guests.

The Knicks could repeat as champs — if their billionaire owner doesn't screw the whole thing up. My latest (including a *shocking* confession) in @vanityfair.com: www.vanityfair.com/story/knicks...

The Knicks Could Repeat — If Their Billionaire Owner Doesn't Screw It Up

James Dolan, the sometimes combative man in charge of both the Knicks and Madison Square Garden, could be one of the biggest obstacles standing between the team and a repeat. Take it from a fan who le...

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Criterion Channel is still the only streamer that actually delivers your money's worth

Daniel Kibblesmith@kibblesmith.bsky.social · yesterday

It is wild that The Prisoner and Evangelion both came to Criterion Channel this year it’s like hey you want to corner the market on people who think twin peaks is for normies

Hoping The Brewers trounce the Rays for Uecker. I know he passed in 25, but it feels right that it would be a year late.

Many note how singular the Grateful Dead's music was in the 1970s. Their business practices were, too. But some contemporary bands shared parts of their touring playbook. I look at bands whose business--not music--mirrored the Dead in the 1970s and '80s. hooterollin.blogspot.com/2026/10/they...

The new Norm doc is really fucking good and worth your watch.

This is one of the greatest Onion headlines ever which is an almost impossible bar to clear but here we are. Amazing.

On Saturday, US citizen Ricardo Gonzalez was reportedly hit by an unmarked federal vehicle, tased twice by ICE agents and then handcuffed while face down in the gutter screaming that his arm was broken. Read more from @brandonrichardson.bsky.social on the Watchdog. lbwatchdog.com/ice-assaulte...

Ken Russell's The Devils was a lot

This design appears to completely eliminate the much-beloved loop road and public park at Hains Point, and cut down the cherry trees which line the road. The park is a public space used by tens of thousands of Washingtonians and heavily visited by tourists. /photos not my own.

The map posted by Trump this morning versus the blurred image on his desk in Katie Zacharia's post. (The White House responded to questions about whether the blurred image was a map of East Potomac by spewing invective.)

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

First of many tour dispatches this fall! Tom Wilkins reports in on a very surprising opening night in Oslo. With recordings of "Tangled Up in Blue" (with two new verses) and Bob's first-ever cover of Guy Clark's "Dublin Blues"

Why? Does the word settler not make you reflect on the role your ancestors played in dispossessing Native people of their land and the mass genocide required for you to call this America?

Fantastic points on the El-Sayed video here from @soraya.press:

lovely new "tangled up in blue" debuted in oslo featuring, i believe, a handful of new lyrics (in addition to many previous revisions/additions) youtu.be/RKgFl8V9c0w

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

At some point I'll see Beck on his own tour and not just at a festival. That day is not today and this tour won't be the one.

this story is so dominant in singapore (we and malaysia have had horrible smog for six weeks now; those on borneo live in hell) that i assumed the world knew about it -- but now i'm in taipei and they do not. smothering millions with toxic air to make more palm oil plantations.

for those unaware, huge wild fires have been burning across Indonesia, yesterday 4 firefighters died, the smoke from the fires is reaching many neighbouring countries. 900,000 hectares have burned this year. It is a horrific disaster.

And, arguably, this was Biden 2020, people held there nose and voted with truly historic turn out, highest turn out in history of those numbers being run, and they failed to prosecute, undo any of trump's most damaging policies, started a new red scare and set the table for the fourth Reich

David Forbes@davidforbes.bsky.social · 5d ago

Well this was prescient. I'm again seeing trans people harassed for criticizing anti-trans Dems with "you wouldn't vote for a 'lesser evil' to stop Hitler becoming president!!!" In 1932 a lot of people did vote for a "lesser evil" to stop exactly that. He promptly put Hitler in power.
