I was watching either the World Series of Monday Night Football, forget which since I was flipping back and forth, and was rather gobsmacked when I saw this awful commercial. These people. ispot.tv/a/SOOJ

Me, to my significant otter [sic] while watching Brewers-Rays tonight: "This is crazy.." <a couple of seconds pass> "This is a really good game.

A friend of a friend's comment on "You Can See Everything": I loved it but can never remember the innocuous title. I think I’ve called it “My Eyes Are Up Here” a few times. #filmsky

Reuters Pictures Lights are reflected off a bulletproof screen as President Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina.

I loved this so very much.

Remember the thing you got So Very Fucking Upset about and now you're all like what was the big deal? That's likely to happen again sometime.

Why on earth would someone create this monstrosity? A G.H. Bass Weejun/Clark’s Wallabee mixture, for sale now.

I hate Eric Alper and his content farming posts, but his was the only obit I could find for Jim Knipfel. RIP, Slackjaw. www.thatericalper.com/2026/10/11/j...

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.!

My new favorite saying thanks to idiot Senator from Louisiana, John Kennedy.

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

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.

Today's word of advice: Don't Google your ghosts.

Arch Manning sacked six times so far. Hilarious!!!

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

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

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

Born 100 years ago today, the unduplicateable John Coltrane, photographed here by Lee Friedlander. Do yourself a favor and listen to "A Love Supreme" today. #musicsky

Tonight I learned that the plague known as Pat McAfee has also infected Monday Night Football.

Don Jr.’s got better tits than his wife.

Ah, the San Gennaro feast: shitty sausage and peppers and old-grease zeppoles.

Happy would-have-been 99th to the irreplaceable Peter Falk.

Pete Alonso threw his bat like a little bitch when he hit that home run at Citi Field.

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.

Partner: "Is Jonathan Franzen a Me-Too-er?" Me: "I don't think so; he's just an asshole."

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."?

I love Steve Gelbs as a sideline reporter. But as a play-by-play man? Boy, he's boring. #mets

Happy would-have-been birthday, Joe Strummer!

How many times a day do _you_ resist typing "You're a fucking idiot" into the group chat at work? I'm up to 6, but it's a slow day.

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

It's a shame TCM isn't showing "Baby Face" or "Night Nurse" for Barbara Stanwyck day tomorrow. But they ARE showing "The Lady Eve" and "Ball of Fire" starting at 8p.m., and both are delightful and well worth your time if you've never seen them (and even if you have seen them). #filmsky

Today's a great day to listen to one of the best albums ever! #musicsky open.spotify.com/album/7ro1W6...

DH is batting eighth, and it's Baty. That's the #Mets season in a nutshell.
