Getty Images The New York Mets will be without Clay Holmes for “a long time,” in the words of manager Carlos Mendoza, after the right-handed starter suffered a fractured fibula during their 5-2 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday. Holmes sustained the injury in the fourth inning when he was struck on the lower leg by a 111.1 mph comebacker off the bat of rookie Spencer Jones: Holmes remained in the game but departed in the fifth after allowing four runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. As Mendoza’s remarks suggest, Holmes’ absence figures to be measured…

The U.S. Supreme Court has turned aside Virginia Democrats’ long-shot attempt to overturn state courts and force the use of their preferred congressional district map in November’s elections. The justices rejected Attorney General Jay Jones’ request without comment, and no justices signaled any dissent. That outcome was expected, but is still devastating for Democrats who’d been counting on Virginia to deliver them as many as four extra U.S. House seats in the election. Virginia’s Supreme Court had ruled that Democrats who controlled the legislature violated the Constitution with a referendum trying to overturn the old maps. Referendums must pass the…

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 1 second ago To this day, the failure of Game of Thrones feels a little bit surreal. Once upon a time, it was one of the most popular shows in the world, and it was lauded as the best example of how to adapt a popular book series into live-action. By the end, though, everything had gone fully off the rails. The writers started debating from George R.R. Martin’s books before running out of books to adapt. As a result, the writing and characterization suffered, and the final season was so universally hated that many…

In the front window of McNally Jackson, one of my favorite NYC bookstores. Against Money is now out. It’s been spotted in a number of bookstores, including the Union Square Barnes and Noble, where it turns out to be shelved next to Marx’s Capital in the Business section. As my friend Suresh said to me the other day, as writers we should think of books as landmarks for a larger body of thought, rather than self-contained arguments in themselves. That is certainly the case with this book. But I am glad to see this piece of the larger project out in the…

Riley Abdullah | 1:25pm BST 12 May 2026 The IPL is moving into the part of the season where the table stops feeling loose. The next stretch includes fixtures such as Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Kolkata Knight Riders on 13 May, Mumbai Indians against Punjab Kings on 14 May, and Chennai Super Kings against Lucknow Super Giants on 15 May. Each match now carries more weight than it did in April. This is where the tournament changes. Teams can no longer rely on one explosive innings or one good spell at the death. Net run rate, middle-over control and bowling…
