No shade on the man’s baseball talents intended.

I started scrolling and thought he had a new book coming out, then realized, oh it’s just baseball.

The @bencollins.bsky.social media empire is about to get bigger.

New from me today:

Miriam Yarimi, who wept at her sentencing and accepted "full responsibility" for killing a mom and 2 daughters in a Brooklyn crosswalk, now says she's not civilly liable for the crash because she had a previously-unmentioned "medical episode."

Saying "no man, you don't get to win this time" to evil people who have the power of the entire corrupt government behind them has to feel pretty fucking good

Are they talking Star War

This is single handedly the funniest scene from any Star Trek

ORDER: Defendant Chowdhury's 480 Motion to Modify Conditions of Release is granted. For the duration of the current tria for Ms. Lubna, Mr. Chowdhury will be permitted to leave his home at 8:00AM each day that trial is in session in order to accompany Ms. Lubna to the courthouse. However, Mr. Chowdhury is instructed not to enter the courthouse, and shall not be in the vicinity of the courthouse's entrance or exit except to drop off and pick up Ms. Lubna, so as to avoid any potential interactions with jurors and/or witnesses in the trial. Mr. Chowdhury may remain in the area during the day while trial is in session, or return home. Counsel for Ms. Lubna shall coordinate with Mr. Chowdhury to inform him when trial concludes eac day so that he can come pick her up at the courthouse entrance at the appropriate time. Ordered by Judge Nina R. Morrison or 3/25/2026 (FV) (Entered. 03/25/2026)

One detail that got cut for space — the husband was her ride to court (they’re both free on bond) but the judge barred him from the building out of concern his presence would intimidate witnesses.

*one of the victims

Mazharul Islam met Lubna in an online English-as-a-second-language class, and he fancied her, so on May 10, 2023, he reached out to her. “She looked attractive to me and I wanted to become friends with her. And she was from Bangladesh, so I wanted to make a Bangladeshi friend, as well,” Islam explained to the jury. “I don’t remember the entire call, but the gist of the conversation was me asking her whether or not she had a boyfriend, and she told me she didn’t have a boyfriend.” Islam asked some probing questions, including whether she used drugs or got high — “just to find out what kind of a girl she is, is she a party girl or a regular girl,” he said — and offered to bring her “Black Label” scotch. And he then broke out the potato pick-up line: “Think of it like a potato, but it ends up in the hands of poor cook. It becomes a bland mashed potato. But when it’s handled by hotel chefs, it turns into a delicious potato chop,” referring to a South Asian dish. “And that same potato when you imagine it, it can become a mouthwatering Kacchi biryani, just like the potatoes in Kacchi biryani, exactly like that.” The call enraged Lubna, who was recorded saying, “I want to see his dead body.”

And here's the ill-fated pickup line that led to one of the victim being kidnapped and tortured.

Disrespected Queens woman guilty of seeking vengeance by helping boyfriend in kidnap, torture plot Iffat Lubna tried to lay the blame for both of the horrific kidnappings entirely on her husband, with her defense lawyers calling him “the beast” and saying she was terrified to cross him. But jurors ...

New from me today, a look back at a wild kidnapping trial in B'klyn.

Iffat Lubna was found guilty of helping her hubby kidnap and torture two men -- including a guy who hit on her by calling her a “bland mashed potato” he could turn into a “mouthwatering” meal.

Underrated TMBG gem.

Yes but I can also look up how to beat the Dark Souls boss without going up to my computer, so it’s a wash.

“Why do we feel a paralyzing sense of dread all the time?” I type into my Paralyzing Sense of Dread Machine that lives in my pocket.

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

Still no Sephiroth reference though.

Do you think someone in Pepsi marketing had to nix an earlier draft and explain why the k in Coke couldn’t also be starred out?

guys, this is how you lose the time war

Schumer Wants To Ban Four Loko Sen. Charles Schumer on Wednesday called on the State Liquor Authority to ban caffeinated alcoholic drinks, such as Four Loko, from being sold in New York.

Thinking about this for no reason tonight.

Prezmaxxing but prez is a drug we haven’t heard of yet

This is what the kids resort to if they don’t get access to original blend Four Loko.

Look like I may have been wrong in assessing his 2040 presidential chances.

Turns out Paolo planned the whole thing and jumped onto that truck at the last second. She’ll never know the truth.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announces it has found a buyer to keep the newspaper open Owners of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said they have found a buyer who had agreed to keep the newspaper open, less than a month before it was due to shut down.

The nonprofit that runs the successful, Pulitzer-winning Baltimore Banner is going to take over the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Of all the possible outcomes here, this is likely the best we could have hoped for.
