Love seeing Lindor looking healthy, hitting homers, making great plays, and smiling from ear to ear. There's my captain. #MetsSky #LGM

I mean, it could be worse...at least he didn't try to rip it back from the hands of a child? Another classic #Mets moment. 😂

Disgusting anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia right out in the open. Also, reading some of these "views" they claim Muslims have...they all just sound like white, male, right-wing, incel talking points?! Every accusation is a confession.
Screenshot of text from article that says:

Among numerous training lectures the group attended was a session titled “The Muslim Mindset,” according to notes obtained from a city of Seattle public records request.

Notes from the training assert that views held by Muslims include:

“A man is always preferable to a woman.”

“The function of a wife is to have kids.” 

“Rulers are more important than the law.”

“Luck is more important than discipline and planning.”

Went up to Woodstock for the weekend and found all of these absolute classics in bins at the FLEA MARKET. Oh, and they're all originals. Music towns, man 🙌🏽

I cannot stop watching this clip of Mr. Met not reading the room (or, perhaps, reading it perfectly) and dancing his ass off behind Gelbs as he talks about Mendy's firing 😅 The #Mets may be miserable to watch, but you have to admit they still provide a lot of genuinely hilarious content. #MetsSky

If you're in NYC and looking for something amazing to do this weekend, get to the Joyce Theater to see the Step Afrika! performance on the Great Migration before it ends Sunday. I went to the Juneteenth performance and it was beautiful. 🙌🏽

Still on a high from last night's @resistanceschool.bsky.social panel at Busboys and Poets in DC. And whoever said don't meet your heroes would take it back if they met @karenattiah.bsky.social because she's dope as hell. What a joy it was to be in her presence. #WeMove 🙌🏽
