The same actor played the bad guy on 911 last week and RJ Decker last night. His parents must be so proud!

I always liked Amanda but absolutely HATED her in these last two episodes. Even her voice was driving me up the wall. As usual this season only Angie and Ormwood were worth watching, although I also liked Faith. It's amazing how a show that was so good for three seasons has been SO bad, although I can say the same about GHOSTS and ABBOTT ELEMENTARY.

Thanks to the institution of the ABS pitch challenge system in Major League Baseball this season, 225 of the 430 hitters listed on Opening Day rosters are now listed at shorter heights than they were in 2024 and 2025. According to Sam Blum of The Athletic, six players saw their official heights drop by three inches, 48 by two inches and 171 by one inch. Meanwhile, 45 hitters gained one inch and two hitters gained two inches of height in MLB's effort to institute the most accurate strike zones possible.

Well, with one I wouldn't know how to use the stick.

CANCELED

This pitiful piece of trash has been canceled

This weekend, the stars of two ’90s teen icons are set to align in the heart of Astoria as Andrew Keegan from “10 Things I Hate About You” and Diana Uribe from “California Dreams” are taking to the stage at The Thespis Theatre in the Hellenic Cultural Center in “Once Upon A Time On…Clarantino’s Pilot.” The off-broadway play is directed by Andrew Cristi and produced by Carlos Leon (I wonder if that's Madonna's ex) and is their 13th play from the Cristi’s Case Crackers murder mystery series, offering a spoof on Agatha Christie style murder mysteries centered around celebrity headliners. The special event, located at 25-02 Newtown Ave. in Astoria, plays on themes from Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood,” with plenty of fun, surprises, and the chance for the audience to try to figure out who the murderer in the story is, while connecting Keegan and Uribe’s experiences in the ups and downs of Hollywood with plenty of tongue in cheek moments poking fun at some of their experiences paired with the ultimate ’90s nostalgia factor for a unique and unforgettable evening. “A lot of the characters are based on different characters in Tarantino movies and [Andrew Cristi] was able to weave in aspects of our careers, so we’re playing right into some of the stories from our own lives,” said Keegan. “It’s a great play, it’s a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, very provocative, with really very talented New York actors. It’s a humbling experience to be amongst this talented group, and we’re really excited to put it on stage.” “I’m half Colombian and half German and it was very clear at that time, that you were either going in as a Latino character or a white character, and I’m right in the middle,” said Keegan. “We were very early in representing the Latino culture and being a Latino at a time when every role was so stereotypical, but things didn’t start to open up until I did “10 Things. As a lead character in a film like that, it became more okay for the industry to accept that these kinds of roles work, and that’s interwoven into the play.”

The last few episodes have been really good. The show is one of my favorites.

Regular or decaf?

This American hero just donated 1000 American Airline miles to military members and their families to keep the rest of the miles he'll never use active for 24 months. It feels great to be such an exemplary person.

I like the fact that the detectives are not chafing at the idea of working with her anymore lately.

the last episode of ghosts was the worst one ever

A majority of New Yorkers have been forced to choose between buying enough nutritious food or paying their rent, utility bills and other necessities in the past year, according to a new poll commissioned by No Kid Hungry New York. The poll found that 67% of residents and 74% of families with children reported making this difficult trade-off between paying for groceries and covering basic household expenses amid the growing affordability crisis. https://qns.com/2026/03/affordability-crisis-no-kid-hungry-poll-food-insecurity-queens/ https://greenpointers.com/2026/03/23/the-debt-gala-offers-a-cheeky-alternative-to-that-event-on-the-first-monday-in-may/ The Debt Gala Offers a Cheeky Alternative to The Met Gala Through the years, the Met Gala’s ostensible purpose as a fundraising event has been watered down as social media continues to ratchet up the displays of ostentatious wealth. Could Jeff Bezos, one of the event’s co-chairs this year, singlehandedly finance the Met’s Costume Institute in perpetuity if he so desired? Of course, but in doing so, that risks upending all the smoke-and-mirrors at the crux of celebrity philanthropy. As the name suggests, The Debt Gala raises funds for families in debt across the country. Since its founding in 2023, the event has helped to eliminate more than $4 million in debt. “Proceeds from the 2026 Debt Gala will be divided between Undue Medical Debt, a national nonprofit that buys and eliminates medical debt for those most financially and emotionally burdened—and Point of Pride, a trans-led organization providing life-saving gender-affirming healthcare support,” a press release reads in part. With a focus on sustainability, originality, and inclusion, the event bucks the stodgy conventions of that other event, plus at a more accessible price point. Early bird tickets are priced at $34 until March 31 (increasing to $44 after that). Premium admission costs $250 and includes seating and drink tickets. And for a one-of-a-kind experience, the $1,000 Sew VIP ticket pairs you with a designer to create a custom look for the evening’s event!

Vastly different outcomes for the sons of two actresses… Lucas Giolito is the best remaining unsigned free agent, whilst Pete Crow Armstrong has agreed to a lucrative extension.

Not to mention being eternally more culturally relevant. People will forever call moronic persons Bozos but I've never heard anyone called a Kathy or a Griffin.
