@NewYorker I revived my Yankees fandom in part thanks to Talkin' Yanks. But this article has a rare miss from the New Yorker fact-checking department: "Recently, he quashed an idea to make merch quoting something that an injured Yankees’ catcher said..."

It was the DH, not the catcher.

Wondering when Trump is going to tell us he could have been an astronaut but decided to go into real estate instead.

@Vigilanthony73 It’s a fun show – and Gary Oldman’s body (including his hair) is its own character. But it was reading the first few books that cemented my fandom, pre-show.

Received a marketing email that began: "If you're like us, we're still riding high from the energy and inspiration of the 71st Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity."

I can't quit laughing at how wildly tin-eared this is.

The fact that Apple *still* won’t let Amazon sell Kindle books via the Amazon or even the Kindle app itself seems like it deserves an antitrust lawsuit. Not that I’m too concerned about the sales figures for either of these behemoths, but it’s a clear anti-consumer situation.

It feels too early for hope to me — and I wish this had been more specific about *how* the US should support Haiti now, with Port-au-Prince controlled by murderous gangs — but if someone who follows Haiti more closely than I can take hope, I hope I can hope too. #PrayForHaiti

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

America owes a historical debt to Haiti.

Really fun moment I got of Biden last night, looking at us and saying

“Don’t jump, I need you!” :)
