Wandering around midtown, drinking booze out of a Starbucks cup, trying to explain who GG Allin was. This is what my night has come to.

@Hole_Wheet @metsventpage It does.

@metsventpage They really need to make the ‘Dodger rule’ where deferred counts against current payroll

Mets signed Starling Marte, Max Scherzer, Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha (~$200 million) determined to win a WS for the first time in 30 years, which led to the Cohen Tax. The Dodgers have signed Blake Snell, Tanner Scott, Teoscar Hernandez, Roki Sasaki, Ohtani , Yamamoto (~$1.2 billion) after winning a WS 1 and 4 years ago and are being nationally applauded by the media. Met bias is real people.

@JakeMHS But you do get Ron Darling, who is great.

@inthefade I get the impression that Connor is not doing well. :(

@PeterDellaPenna @PitViperShades please sponsor this man

Just met the most awesome USA fan, Chuck, from Boynton Beach just outside Fort Lauderdale. Has never seen cricket in his life, but says he had to be here today. "I saw they beat Pakistan. I saw they're coming to Florida. Fuck, I need a fucking ticket! I gotta support the boys!"

@inthefade 24 hour party people by the happy mondays 30 gallon tank by spoon 2nd Ave, 11 AM by Ted Leo 4St 7Lbs by manic street preachers 5 times out of a hundred by hot hot heat 9mm and a three piece suit by catch 22 / streetlight manifesto (take your pick) 1234 by same^

@2AvSagas I’m a Comrie constituent. Called earlier this morning and got a noncommittal but vaguely supportive answer from the staffer I spoke to. So it’s something, I guess.

Within the city, Leroy Comrie has been notably silent. He's a strong voice on MTA matters and has been supportive of congestion pricing. If you live in the 14th district, get in touch.

In terms of Albany numbers, if we assume the NY GOP isn't interested in bailing out Hochul, the Assembly needs 75 Dem votes and the Senate 31 Dem votes to pass a stop-gap funding measure. Upstate progressives would be good targets. Get those phones ringing.

@alexandrak Bring back Jeeves

I hate that basically all virtual assistants and named chat bots have women’s names.

@jefftakin @NoldorinAngst @BabylonFirst You’ve seen the Last Starfighter… the movie. But did you know about The Last Starfighter… THE MUSICAL? youtu.be/nKCvEDIE4Vg?si…

@NoldorinAngst @BabylonFirst Now I have to find my dvd of The Last Starfighter. What a great movie!

@BabylonFirst Great pod on Endgame. I think the reference to "Ramming speed!!" that Brent was trying to recall is from near the end of The Last Starfighter, the same scene where the alien bad guys have the famous exchange, "What do we do??" "We die."

@kenlyric He was incredibly good at music for a very long time. But no, he is not anymore.

We’re not pretending to think Kanye is any good at music any more are we?

@BigPorkis @i_zzzzzz No, teams are required to fully fund deferred salaries within 2 years, and if the contract ends early for any reason (say, if he were somehow traded), they would owe the entire deferred balance immediately.

@i_zzzzzz If the Dodgers can fire Ohtani for cause in around year 8, will they be off the hook for the other 680 million?

The Los Angeles Dodgers are now highly incentivized to trigger a hyperinflation spiral in the US dollar in the early 2030s - something to keep an eye on

@FramedGames @BrentAllenLive @jefftakin @straczynski Maybe it is some kind of deep space franchise after all.

Grats to @BrentAllenLive and @jefftakin for taking a their fun podcast about a couple of Star Trek podcasters jumping into @straczynski 's world one episode at a time, and getting it to the top of the charts. For Star Trek. Lets just take it for the win that it is.

@riseupcomus The prophecy doesn’t need to be _vague_ but it does need to be incomplete. It’s fine to have even an extremely specific “this thing will happen”, so long as you leave a big open door for “what are you going to do about it?”

I prophesize....59 more comments telling me to make prophecies vague.

I think prophecies are hard to do in TTRPGs. If the GM knows what's going to happen and the players have no choice, it feels unsatisfying. If the players are involved, *anything* can happen. Character abilities that deal w/ the future work best as questions. If this, then what?

@SpicyEncounters Throw in War Caster and the right pair of staves and this actually becomes a pretty spicy build.

@AlbaneseLaura Is there any info out there about when the Bartolo ceremony at tomorrows game is going to start? Trying to figure out when I should get to the park for it.

A fan here has a "Save the Polar Bear - Keep Alonso in NY" sign

@JakeMHS I mean, he’s right that that image would’ve been used to make fun of him for literally the rest of his life. But also, get over it buddy.

@CalmYourMitts I don’t know about a rift, but I do believe it may have caused a jinx. A Curse, if you will.

I didn’t realize so many people on here had access to the Mets clubhouse and knew, for a fact, that the car McNeil is owed by Lindor, has caused a rift.

@Jezi_Belle Funnily enough since you asked about it recently… Baldurs gate 3! It has a phenomenally implemented co-op mode where you can essentially play through a D&D campaign together with C O M P U T E R as your dungeon master.
