1000% his biggest problem imo. I think by not trying, he was able to maintain this “he could have won slams if he just committed” narrative. But if he really applied himself and ended up failing, that narrative would’ve crumbled. And I think he was afraid of that
I've been giving tours of Central Park for a decade.
And before Covid, rules enforcement was solid.
Since then, everyone has given up.
The e-bikes, dogs off-leash, people on the Elm lawns along the Mall (a no-no), smoking, loud music, illegal vendors.
Something's got to give.
The numbers are in, and by virtually every metric, @MLS was the sixth-best league at this World Cup – even if you remove Messi's appearances and minutes.
Huge, measurable progress. Not bad!

Why is it always jack draper has withdrawn due to injury and never Alexander zverev has officially retired from tennis and will be facing life without parole in prison?
If the @PodSaveAmerica bros are going to attempt to fracture and disunify the party, they should at least do their research before maligning @DarializaforNY. Also, at least pronounce her name properly. @danpfeiffer & @jonfavs what team are y'all on???
OBSESSION director Curry Barker says he’d like to turn the One Wish Willow into a limited series.
“Each episode is a different wish that goes completely off the rails… Maybe I’ll direct the pilot episode, and then invite other filmmakers to put their own spin on it.”

throwback to when iga was asked about alexander zverev’s domestic violence case:
“for sure, it’s not good when a player who’s facing charges like that is kind of being promoted…”
NYC is no longer a city, it is an algorithm.
If you live in, say, Cincinnati, when you go to get ice cream with your friends, you really are just going to get ice cream with your friends.
In NYC, this is not possible. You cannot just go to get ice cream, because, against your will, you are very self-consciously “someone who lives in NYC, going to get ice cream with their friends, in NYC.”
You are never able to achieve full presence of mind because you are constantly placing yourself inside a chapter in some made up, schizophrenic and highly disorienting book.
Put another way, as a New Yorker, you do not live in a city, but a massive, procedurally generated simulation of one. You are nothing more than a vapid unit of flesh and bone trapped since a Baudrillardian infinity mirror, where the references have their own references.
You become more of a vague concept than a real person—some strange, soulless mix of ambition and violent/sexual impulses—and in your constant confusion you fail to ever become a true subject.
You pay $17 for the ice cream cone. Then, you pull out your list of saved Instagram Reels which tell you where to get reservations for pasta later.
When you arrive, you find yourself stuck in yet another long line, with people who look just like you.
The longer you wait in lines like these, the harder it becomes to ever recover the soul of the person you were before you moved into your East Village studio.
This is such a weird episode because the Lizzo/Jack Black stuff is god awful and then Christopher Lloyd reveals himself as a Dooku loyalist which is unquestionably awesome
James Blake was unfortunate to run into prime Roger Federer on all 3 big tournament finals (IW 2006, This and Cinc 2007).
This Masters Cup final in 2006 might’ve been Federer’s greatest ever backhand performance.
Federer hit 20 🤯 BACKHAND WINNERS in just 3 sets (6-0 6-3 6-4)!
