It happened overnight, or at least that's what I need to tell myself but I went from being fairly spry and nimble to feeling like I'm Frankenstein when I get up. It's like my entire body has some weird atrophy where nothing moves or bends like it should. I'll sure yoga for Pilates or whatever would help but this feels like it ran me over like a truck.

I'm not sure why kids in this generation always seem to have close captioning off but sometimes I plop on the couch and don't bother to turn it off. Now I'm watching White Lotus or something and it becomes a chore cause I can't NOT read it. But that is the most ludicrous is when they transpose the "sigh" or the "exhales deeply". Those audible clues are totally able to be heard while you are reading the lame dialogue. Just let me find the stupid button to turn this off Sent from my iPhone
When your master negotiators are Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, you are starting with two outs with bases empty with two strikes against you. It's been two years and these two knuckleheads are like David Spade and Farley in Tommy Boy. I can't trust them to convince me to buy an air filter let alone settle major conflicts or bring peace. If this is the best we got, we're in trouble.

As a Jet fan, I'm obviously no fan of the Patriots and typically like to see them suffer which has not been a very regular occurrence. With that said, this Mike Vrabel thing is just not that interesting. This is the NFL where we take drunks, drug addicts, murders and other convicted felons and then ask them to beat each other silly. There is no league which has less of a moral leg to stand on than the NFL and adultery is about as tame as it gets in these circles. Fry the dude if you want but then don't root for the rest of the thugs wearing helmets on any given Sunday in September.

You know there are too many beers out there when they are all trying to one up one another with their latest offering and nothing is worse than artisanal microbrew IPA's. It seems like there are a small handful of adjectives -hazy, fruity, hoppy, cloudy- thy all throw in and the order of them is the only thing that changes. The latest thing is to just call the beers they have the most disgusting thing they can think of including the latest offering by Cap May Brewery called Mop Water.

There is literally nothing dumber than a radio sports talk host with a hot take. I've listened to more WFAN than I've spent with my own kids but even I will tell you that these guys are about as brain dead as it comes. The latest hot take is that Mamdani ruined the Mets season for hugging Mr Met and it has had the desired effect of getting the entire city in knots trying to either defend it or argue against it. And that is why we are the dumbest country on planet earth

MAGA is apparently starting to question the Butler shooting which is something we have all been questioning for two years. We know this was staged much like the moon landing and the fact anybody bought into any of it, shows the herd of sheep you all are. At this point we should all accept that we are living in a giant Trump branded TV show and any hope for normalcy died with old man Biden.

You have got to be kidding me. I'm driving home tonight and am met with a bunch of winter storm watch signs. I've had enough of this winter, we had 70 degree weather this week and now I'm back to looking for my winter coat?? This is a cruel April joke.

A week ago, the controversy of the day was the TruthSocial post of Trump in his Jesus pose. It's obviously blasphemous but as expected the religious right proved again to have no actually standing in their righteousness. But looking back on the CNN post, I noticed the "apparently AI generated image" tag on the post. The article -and common sense- obviously isn't enough that we have to be told this isn't actually a real image I get the fine print in legal paperwork or even waivers at a bounce house but how litigious have we become that something this obviously fake has legal requiring this. What's next, are we going to put a "not an actual mouse" whenever we watch a Disney movie??

I walked into the 72nd street Gray Papayas to relive some of the best meals of my youth. There was still a line of people, they were still working on 100 Sabrett's dogs at a time and they sell a bunch of odd island juice, so all intents and purposes, I was back in 1994. It was all very familiar except for the price. Long gone was the recession special, now replaced with the mega deal which was three dogs and a papaya juice for like $13.50. The taste was as amazing as I remembered, the papaya juice is basically just sugar and the hit to my wallet was typical NYC. Come on Mamdani, do something about this pricing travesty.

Only Trump would be able to get away with saying gas prices aren't very high after it cost me $55 to fill up. We know that telling the truth is not one of his strong points but at this point, we may have to wonder when his MAGA base will see him for the out of touch geriatric he is.

There is no bigger financial manipulation than what happens to the stock market after every disruption. I'm so sick of looking at the market make its wild swings on the back of the word of a guy who is barely lucid. He speaks out of both sides of his mouth and we hang on his every word like there is a kernel of truth to any of it.

There is nothing worse than sitting on a bus for over an hour and having some douchbag legs as open as a Dunkin' talking so loudly he's practically screaming on the phone about the big hedge he has against the price of corn or something. I look at this dude and think not only are you wearing those kinds of sneakers which are supposed to look like shoes but you are riding the NJT bus, nobody here thinks you are some high roller.

Some days he's a warrior, other days a fighter pilot and yet other days he's a solider but nobody seems to shrug when he posts those images online but I will say that the religious right is completely spineless if they let Trump get away with posting AI photos of him as Jesus. I don't care about religion and mostly find it all a complete sham but if this is what you devote yourself to, you can't also allow Trump to urinate all over it with his AI slop. You can't be both a supporter of this and somebody who holds JC in the highest of regards.

I took the weekend off of the news but when I checked in it seems we decided that if Iran isn't going to open the strait, we will close it. Funny thing is that maybe closing something that is closed might be like double locking it which will drive oil prices even higher and make the economy less stable which you'd think any president would avoid. But when your present has both the complexion and the IQ of a tangerine, all rules are out.

Nothing quite gets you ready for Pennsylvania . The people are nice enough, we don't much like their sports team and they do have some beautiful spots but when you look around you realize that everybody looks like they are being chocked by a neck tattoo. The level of white trash is partially high in the region but the fact that nobody wears anything resembling a coverup and just lets their rolls loose is empowering. And disgusting.

I was all in to watch the Artemis II return today but don't think I was quite ready for the wall to wall coverage on CNN. They ran out of anything interesting to talk about after 15 minutes and just drones on and on about the heat shield and the angle of the entry point. They interviewed the brother in law of the captain who was as bland as that sounds and the spent an hour with a toy replica which kept breaking. And then, right when we were about to get our big climax, they kicked Erin Burnett off and moved in Anderson Cooper who may as well have been finished g the play by play of a funeral.

I can't wait for the Nobel peace prize to be awarded next year and it going to Shehbaz Sharif for brokering peace between the USA and Iran. The beautiful irony of that is going to absolutely kill the orangutan and will likely get him to threaten to drop a nuke on Pakistan but for those first few minutes, his seething anger is going to be glorious.

I wake up every morning at 5AM, throw on my running shoes, a hoodie, a hat, gloves and my blinking vest and hit the streets of my suburban town to run. It's not easy to get up most mornings we make it through but this morning was particularly difficult as the salmon tacos I had last night were not negotiating in good faith with my stomach and I was about to get screwed I make sure I'm well emptied before I head to the street as I don't want any problems, or so I hoped. My left ankle is achy and my left knee hasn't been right since I stepped into a pothole during a run a few weeks back but neither are quite as troubling as my stomach which by mile 3 is has gone from 60% enrichment to 90% fuel. The issue is that I'm not even half way done and I'm not off on some dessert or under a giant mountain and anybody with a knowledge of suburban sprawl will tell you there are very few places to hide. Plus this is my own neighborhood where I know most everybody and dropping a ballistic missile without letting your friends know would be more than a bit wrong. But I luck out, as I'm feeling like I'm going to absolutely boil over, I see an off ramp in the form of a porta potty at a construction site right next to a friend's house. With no time to waste and in the pitch dark I am met with blessed luck as there is no lock on the door, so I run in drop onto the seat snd pray to the good lord as the fury the likes nobody has ever seen before took shape. The sounds from that porta potty was akin to the howls of innocent women and children being slaughtered. I'm sure there will be an international inspectors checking out that nuclear site from now on but I'm just happy we didn't accidentally start WWIII. Sent from my iPhone
We knew it would happen, we knew he couldn't resist being a total jackass. It's time for the cabinet to do their job and invoke their ability to oust him or to get congress to do theirs. We're trying to not get worked up on this TACO crap but also when people's lives are at stake, we can't stay silent. But mostly this incident proves he's just a gigantic impotent flaccid loser who is now just stuck trying to outdo himself and nobody even cares anymore. Put him out to pasture and let's get back to business of governance and stop this fun little game of letting grandpa near the fireplace
