It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.

“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”

“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”

“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.��

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.

There’s no way this goes through right? He signed an NBA contract at one point

[Matt Zenitz @mzenitz]

LSU has signed former St. John’s All-American forward RJ Luis, @chris_hummer and I have learned.

Was the 2025 Big East Player of the Year.

One of the greatest upsets in sports history.

Rich Strike wins the 2022 Kentucky Derby at 80-1 odds 🥹

Goosebumps. Every single time.

Just had a dream the Giants let Styles and Downs go to division rivals in favor of a third top 5 edge rusher in four years and a converted tackle with a bad back 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good thing it was only a dream though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

Very impressed by the retention effort in Fairfield. Credit where credit is due to Coach Casey, his staff, and the admin for NIL allocation. Stags should be a top 3-4 preseason favorite.

@mckenzieburner Yep. No true center on the roster yet

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

Benjamin was such a fun player to watch at Fairfield this year. Fired up I get to continue rooting for him. This is an awesome get for BC - his second jump on the glass is unbelievable and he consistently scored on guys bigger than him. Probably plays PF for BC

[Adam Finkelstein @AdamFinkelstein]

Boston College has landed Fairfield transfer Brandon Benjamin.

14.6pts, 10.4reb, & 1.6blk as a freshman. 16 double-doubles. CBB’s top returning offensive rebounder.

Rugged, long (7-2 wingspan), versatile defender, & always played bigger than his size. https://t.co/dqdPYAlBpq

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

@mckenzieburner Don’t think he’s big enough to play a true 5 in the ACC at 6’8. His game is more inside than your average slasher SF so it won’t be the 3 either.

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

@1ittleknownfact Brandon Benjamin next

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

Score the damn basketball. Fuck yeah

[Jeff Borzello @jeffborzello]

Disgusting

The McSorley’s Augusta pop-up has to be the icing on the cake of shrinkage to the Kevin Hart and Jason Kelce fiasco yesterday.

Can nothing be sacred?

Watch Elliot Cadeau unethical hoops or get a lobotomy challenge

[Broken Sicko @BoBsGuys]

Huge Domino. Wanted him back most of all from last year’s team. Guy was so stable for us and the motor was always unmatched. Best of luck Fred at your next spot 🤝

[Fred Payne @SniperPayne5]
