Those films were shot 26 years ago and one guy being a little heavier and another having a bit of gray hair (while the other two look exactly the same) has People magazine mystified
I’m reading a book published in 1944 and this logo is so unbelievably tough. I’d absolutely wear a shirt with this exact design.
It rained (hard). There were so many bugs. We lost our voices from shouting and singing and ruined our shoes and boots by walking 50-plus miles in the mud. Kids got injured and multiple got sick. We never stopped moving and learning. It was perfect.
Once again I will lead my Scouts into the forests of Rhode Island for a week of chaos fueled by various weapons, tools, small watercraft, poorly-sung songs and a wildly controversial amount of Arizona Iced Tea. Success is measured by exactly one metric: returning with the same number of kids.
That was at the start of their attempts to make the draft an in person thing. I just walked over to Carlos and started chatting. Seems quaint now! www.nytimes.com/2012/06/05/s...
Not sure “similar relocation” is accurate when it’s a 41-year-old considering signing with a 37-win team. I mean, it’s similar in the sense of both players relocating to the Bay Area?
I’m used to a steady stream of AI-generated social posts and usually just roll my eyes but No. 9 on this list is a classic. It realized it was wrong but then just went with it?
If you don’t want your kid on their phone, consider whether you’ve given them a better option
This post has almost 30k likes on Threads. I’m thinking about doing a series of posts over there that are like “Back when I was younger we would wear things on our legs called PANTS and if they were made of denim we called them JEANS. Does anyone else remember this??”
This guy was part of the same BALCO investigation that you all cite when saying Bonds shouldn't be a HOFer
"Olerud was skinny!" Cool. This guy has served about a billion games of suspensions for use of PEDs including literal anabolic steroids
Ready must thou be to burn thyself in thine own flame; how couldst thou become new if thou have not first become ashes!
Happy People Who Don’t Understand Inflation Make a Big Deal About a Fairly Common Tactic in Sports Contracts Day to those who celebrate. First one like this? No. Most extreme case? No. Bad deal on its face for the team? No. But still, lol Mets, right?
11:32:00.41 That is the exact time when the game and the Knicks' season and the legacy of OG Anunoby changed forever. In tomorrow's print @nytimes.com, Wayne Kamidoi went supersize with a two-page spread and the fine folks at NBA Stats helped me confirm the exact time it happened.
TFW when you sat through a 2014 loss to the Orlando Magic where Evan Fournier was the Knicks' leading scorer only for people in 2026 to question if you have any bona fides for going to the Garden
It was not a particularly suspenseful election night in Texas, but that just gave Christine Zhang and Zach Levitt time to cook this up for @shanegoldmacher.bsky.social's takeaways file: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/u...
If you were drafting the most awkward possible pairings of celebrities to own a bar together in 2026, it would be hard to top this duo
I do sometimes wonder if B-R tacks on a new fake nickname every now and again just to see if we’re paying attention
What a neat project. Can’t say I agree with the editorial decisions that led to me having more bylines since 2000 than titans like George Vecsey and John Branch, but I’m pretty proud of this output for someone who has always had duties that primarily weren’t writing tedalcorn.github.io/nyt/
I can’t believe this is still up three days later. I either watched it happen live, buddy, or my school thought it would be hilarious to show a snuff film and watch a bunch of kids cry.
