The clerks at the store where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

I stand in solidarity with @adamzyglis. No journalist should be a victim of death threats and personal attacks for a cartoon or an article.

Today is the 44th anniversary of the end to baseball's longest game, 33 innings, between the Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket Red Sox. Pawtucket's McCoy Stadium was just torn down, so pause, remember, and celebrate responsibly. mlb.com/video/the-long… #MLBFilmRoom via @MLB

Thank you, Mike. See you sometime at Crazy Otto’s Empire Diner…

I wish it was the other way around. Thank you, pal.

Mr. Barry, you, me and all other #Bonnies know that Nicholas Devereux, Thomas Merton and the Stith Brothers together invented basketball on one snowy day in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. (this is a great article) ⬇️

Searching the digital Herkimer Democrat. "Basket ball"--first cite, Feb. 1894. "Basketball"--May 1894. "New game"--nothing relevant. Herkimer did NOT invent basketball. cc @NetsDaily @btaylorblake @EsnpcB @Hoophall @NBA @Jersey2Brooklyn @notoriousbknets nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=q&hs=1&r=1&…

Searching all of NYS Historic Newspapers, the first "basket ball" cite is March 8, 1892, The Argus (Albany), and even this is too late--and not from Herkimer. Again, Herkimer did NOT invent basetball. Historic newspapers show no evidence. nyshistoricnewspapers.org/?a=q&hs=1&r=1&…

Images of three consecutive years of Herkimer basketball team photos starting in 1891, prior to the printing of the rules in the January 1892 YMCA's Triangle Magazine, in which James Naismith was the editor.

The upstate New York town of Herkimer and its famous native, The Human Calculator, have something to say about basketball. Namely, that the game was invented there. Read my story and discuss: nytimes.com/2025/06/17/nyr… via @NYTimes
