Can’t get there from here

I read most of @dannyfunt.bsky.social’s book Everybody Loses today and I’m even more radicalized against the sports betting industry than when I woke up. I’m not anti gambling by any stretch. In the chapter about NY, I chuckled remembering taking advantage of Caesars’ $3k match but…

Still angry that the Israeli government rushed to blame Mamdani for an antisemitic stabbing in New York this past week... when they also rushed to absolve Trump of any blame for the much deadlier 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, for which Trump was actually much more culpable.

"Israel Blames Mamdani for NYC Stabbings as Police Work to Establish Motive
Foreign Minister Sa'ar decries 'horrific antisemitic stabbing' as witnesses say assailant yelled 'Allahu Akbar' during the attacks; both victims - one of whom is Jewish - are expected to survive""Israeli Minister Calls It Unfair to Link Trump with Synagogue Shooting
Criticism highlights divide between conservative Israeli government and many American Jews"

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

Some folks are going to try too unlink the “there’s a massive nationwide outbreak of explosive diarrhea” story from the “Lindsey Graham died of a sudden illness” story. Nope. I’m sorry. Occam’s Razor definitively proves that Lindsey Graham pooped himself to death.

lindsey graham won't see your jokes and memes because he got diarrhea and is in hell now, but someone writing an op-ed titled "the left's problem with manners" might. So make them really funny.

May we all live long enough to see our fondest lifelong wishes come true. May we all have worthier fondest lifelong wishes than "war of aggression by the United States against Iran."

Your annual Bobby Bonilla Day reminder that by doing the deal the Mets got Mike Hampton who led them to the World Series and used the pick they got when he left to get David Wright, who became the best position player in team history and a beloved franchise icon. The owners wanna ban such deals now
