No one cares, but what the hey. Besides, this is only today; highly likely to be different come tomorrow. #musicsky

I hate the Dodgers, but I hate Atlanta and their racist chop-loving fans doing their bullshit Native American chant even more, so fuck them and go L.A.!

Oh, I really loved Eephus. What did you think of it?

So the racist Braves fanbase beats the loutish Phillies fanbase. And baseball loses.

Oh, this was on not too long ago and I DVRed it so I can have it forever or until the DVR dies, whichever comes first. Such a good movie.

Scranton, you say? <perks up> My partner is for there. She’s never mentioned it. I’ll have to tell her.

Hate-watching the Phillies-Braves right now. Don't know who I want to lose more.

Countrywide, pea brains just exploded watching Monday Night Football: • Mariachi Herencia de México: The Chicago-based, two-time Latin Grammy-nominated ensemble made history as the first mariachi band to perform the national anthem at Soldier Field as part of the Vamos Bears Latino Heritage Night.

It's official. My Mets will finish the season in the basement. What a shitty year.

Stephen Berg @stephenberg2.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Well if you hadn't been going on about it all the time, I wouldn't have been compelled to check it out, since this going on about it is the first time I've heard of it, so thanks.

Today would have been Glenn Gould's 94th birthday. You really should celebrate it by listening to either of his recordings of Bach's Goldberg Variations. Or watch Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould, which you can find on YouTube. (Photo by Gordon Parks for Life magazine) #musicsky

Black-and-white photo focused on Gould's hands. He's wearing a light-colored wool glove that exposes his fingers on his left hand. Oh his right hand he wears a dark-colored leather glove. He's sitting in a wooden chair with thin padding on the seat.

A friend of mine is playing at this. What a brilliant idea — the entire band is bald! #musicsky

You convinced me to see Dead Man's Wire and you've convinced me to see this. Problem is there are so few (convenient) showtimes in Manhattan; is this movie getting buried eveywhere?

Saw someone post "We're all NYers today." Um...I was here. You weren't. And you aren't one.

They're only up to the Os in the reading of the names. Such staggering loss, even 25 years later. Probly moreso with all the people who've died since from breathing that toxic crap.

I'm behind in the Alcaraz-Shelton match because I keep rewinding to watch some of these unreal points again. What a match!

That was some typical Michigan bullshit, I'll tell you what. I'm just glad a shitload of people lost money on that game.

Thrilled college football is back. So annoyed Pat McAfee is back on Gameday.

Thanks for this. It was just lovely.

I still don’t understand why they ever stuck Rutgers in the Big 10. God, they suck at football.

The Empire State Building got lit up in "pink sparkles" tonight in honor of Dolly. Lights got switched on at 9:25 (9 to 5, get it?).

Country Music Hall of Fame put together a playlist of Dolly songs for an exhibit they currently happen to be running on her. (It runs till Oct. 4, and you should probably go if you can). open.spotify.com/playlist/5XZ...

How sad is it that I was looking at an FDA page for a certain drug and caught myself thinking, "Yeah, I dunno if I can trust this."?

A cow-orker asked what a group of copy editors should be called and I said a "stet." A stet of copy editors.
