The Philadelphia Phillies are currently the best team in baseball, and starting right fielder Nick Castellanos has been a mainstay through it all. He’s been in the lineup for all of the team’s games: Hitting near the middle of the order most of the time, he ranks third on the team in plate appearances. He also leads the club in innings played in the field. Ever since Castellanos joined the Phillies in 2022, he’s been one of the central characters on a team that went to a World Series, made consecutive NLCS appearances and has a strong chance to go on another deep run this year.

Sports media is, famously, one of the deepest pits of hell, a cesspool of aimless shouting, pointless provocation, and artificial culture war. I always thought that 30 Rock’s “Sports Shouting” bit captured that whole world perfectly. And I can think of no figure in sports media who better emblemizes how sports media corrupts everything it touches than FS1’s Nick Wright, a particularly shameless clown in an industry of shameless clowns. And to show my cards, I’ll tell you upfront that the tragic part is that I frequently see a thoughtful adult hidden within the Nick Wright clown world persona, one that has been systematically beaten out of Nick Wright the person by the dictates of his profession.

Many thanks to everyone who came through at the Sidewalk Cinema last night for my third time hosting VHS Time Machine! Or what I like to call “Dust On The VCR Live!” (They probably don’t want me to call it that.) We watched my recently acquired VHS copy of Snake Eyes in honor of Nic’s 60th birthday, and it was a terrific time with a lively crowd. Speaking of Sidewalk, don’t forget that the Bad Movie Marathon starts tonight, and I could really use your support!

Embedded is your essential guide to what’s good on the internet, written by Kate Lindsay and edited by Nick Catucci. The “nonprofit boss” character could be called “women’s media boss” and Daniels wouldn’t need to change a thing. —Kate I’d venture that huge portions of TikTok users are familiar with Nicole Daniels—just not for the same reasons. The NYC actress is best known for characters like “nonprofit boss” and “babysitter mom” that have millions of views, plus videos parodying lesbian historical dramas and public radio segments.

2005 was a year of great musical discovery for me. I went to college, and using my own computer–plus unlimited free time and a faster internet connection than I’d ever had at home–proceeded to download countless albums by luminaries like David Bowie, The Cure, Morrissey, and The Beatles. I was moving beyond the tastes I’d developed in high school, i.e., my taste for punk, pop-punk, and hardcore. In October 2005, my good friend, Carl, sent me an mp3 from a band called Nightmare of You.

Thank you for reading Snobette News. This post is public so feel free to share it. Share Nike’s five flight SoHo store opened in November 2018 and since then, it’s been a must visit for me when I’m in the neighborhood with my cadence of visits far reduced through 2020 and 2021. The first floor of Nike’s SoHo store is where all the action occurs. That’s where the brand highlights what its focus of the moment is through a combination of activations, displays and of course product.
