As a Raven's fan, it gives me no pleasure to say that Mike Tomlin rules.

GOP candidate for NY governor Bruce Blakeman sought taxpayer-funded matches for thousands of donations that weren't eligible. My story: nysfocus.com/2026/09/29/n...

There's probably something to be had that the Republican project to create an alternate reality found a perfect match with a President who preternaturally needed to rebrand everything, and now DC basically exists as a hermit kingdom.

This is absolutely criminal and it's long passed time we stopped tolerating this toxic/abusive sports coaching cutlure. Good for the players here sticking up for themselves, just unfortunately too late for Mayich.

Why don’t you want people who ascribe to millenarian/doomsday cult beliefs to gain power - like, say, the people running much of the U.S. AI industry? This is because millenarian cultists will notoriously say and do *pretty much anything* to address what they truly think is the end of the world.

Honestly what's more distressing to me is the 2/3rds who think Hochul is going to win, regardless of who they plan to vote for. It's a recipe for apathy and an election day surprise.

The general rule of Trumpism is to follow the most cynical interpretation of a decision and go with it. Here, it's "we're going to bankrupt Obamacare to finally kill it." The stupidity is the distraction.

The thing with the "transplant" discourse is it really exposes who are just high-rent townies, with self-awareness that's off the charts bc it's beneath it.

This is lazy from the NYTimes, and focuses on Blakeman's culture war issues and not the fact that his solution for high energy prices is to bring back fracking and ban your solar panels.

This is all hopium until election day, but it feels notable this was polled during Trump's Very Special Boy party. I wonder if there's a snapback.

The entire project of Andrew Berman and his ilk is to make sure the Village has been depopulated of anybody but the global Epstein class, so "Mission accomplished" for him, I guess.
