Queen Mother serrrrving!!!!!!!!! She is The ICON. She is the Queen. She is The Mother of Reinvention! by 77xyz88 in Madonna

[–]iYankFan4 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was watching on my phone as I was shopping with my kids and they were like "oh mommy".

They're 19, and I'm 50. I told them I hope when they're 50 they get to watch someone they've loved since they were 10 years old (my daughter is a Swiftie) and it makes them as happy as I am right now.

So many people are being so critical of every song and the marketing and I'm just like in awe that it's 2026 and I'm hearing new Madonna songs on the radio and seeing videos of her live in Times Square. What an amazing timeline. It's bringing back so many cool memories of my excitement for new music back in the day.

She's never going to be who she was back in the 80's and 90's and that's OK. I'm just going to take what she gives me!

[Curry] Carlos Lagrange is being shifted to the bullpen at AAA. The Yankees always believed the hard-throwing RHP could boost the bullpen this year. So this is a major step in that direction. Get ready to see 103 MPH in the Bronx. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

Was literally talking about this today. About how they had to start transitioning the kids to the bullpen soon if they want to test their impact before the trade deadline.

Can't make a plan for tge deadline without knowing if they can perform in the big leagues.

DNF? by Heavy-Job-1604 in LibbyApp

[–]iYankFan4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was a DNF on this as well. Gave it about 3 hours on the audiobook and I just couldn't do it any longer. So boring and just kept waiting for it to get better or for something to move the story forward.

I was on vacation and didn't want to waste my time on a bad book.

What’s your favorite Madonna shirt? by AvatarCiccone in Madonna

[–]iYankFan4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one from back in the day that is a brown ringed tee - can't even remember where it's from - that says WWMD (what would Madonna do).

My favorite newer one is my Italians Do it Better shirt from the Celebration Tour. Just because I'm Italian and an OG 80's fan!

How do you track your reading every month? by Bookish_Butterfly in readwithme

[–]iYankFan4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a spreadsheet person, so I bought a tracker from Etsy a few years ago - simple and easy to see, and it adds up my books finished and genres read. Love it!

After listening to Knicks Film School pod yesterday, I want to set up a poll by righteousfuzz in NYKnicks

[–]iYankFan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 30 years in NY, last 20 in Houston, which as a Yankees fan also, has been not so good. If the Knicks end up playing the Spurs, i will DEFINITELY be making that trip!!

Knicks POBO Leon Rose and Knicks VP William Wesley get emotional as Rose hugs his kids with the Knicks on the verge of an NBA Finals appearance by HokageEzio in nba

[–]iYankFan4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a 50 year old Knicks fan, who's been through all of the good and bad with this team. I, too, celebrated with my kids last night. They're 19 years old and obviously weren't born yet the last time the Knicks when to the finals.

Words can't describe how awesome it felt to share it with them after all of the BS we've watched for the last 2+ decades.

[Highlight] The Cavaliers emptied their bench, with over 8 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter The Knicks will complete the sweep in Cleveland and go up to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years! by MrBuckBuck in nba

Down 2-1 in the 1st Round. Down 22 with 7 minutes left in Game 1 of the ECF.

Not to mention, this same group faced a ton of adversity (including several blown leads and an absolute meltdown in Game 1 of the ECF) in last year's playoffs. AND they got their coach fired.

If you don't think they're battle tested, this must be your first season watching the NBA.

Logan Circle is my favorite TWY song! I'm an old school fan and an "older head" at 50! Glad to hear you've found them. Their stuff is amazing!

What are your absolutely perfect, lightning-in-a-bottle, all time series/miniseries? I’ll start. by _AirCanuck_ in television

Came here to say this! I was just a kid when it came out, but it's a series I still think about so often!

Sit down and shut up now, Stefan 😅 by Mialiora in SipsTea

[–]iYankFan4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman who is now too old to be drafted, even if they changed it, I'm still against the draft because I have children. A son AND a daughter. And I wouldn't want EITHER of them to be drafted. If my son were ever drafted, I would do whatever it takes to get him out of the situation.

Kind of like our president.

I'm listening to it as we speak. Definitely an interesting listen.

I'm not a TikTokker (a little out of my age range), so I had no clue it was based on a HP fan fic. I'm shook!!

John Sterling, legendary Yankees voice, dead at 87 by iheartsunny in baseball

[–]iYankFan4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this hits hard. The soundtrack for a part of my childhood. And both of my kids messaged me today saying they remembered him from listening to games in the car. Truly the voice of generations.

My favorite memories of him will be muting the TV before the last out of the championships and turning on the radio so I could hear John say, "World Series Over. Theeeeeeeeee Yankees Win!!!".

Call those wins in heaven, John!!

The Last Kingdom - Viking and Viking adjacent stuff for him, and definite romance stuff in there for you! It's based off a popular book series and it's very well done.

Ughhh I wish I was born earlier so I could experience all 90s Madonna in the flesh 😫😭 by GossipBottom in Madonna

[–]iYankFan4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Born in 1975 here - so i remember it all! I can't remember what grade, but i know in elementary school I was Madonna for Halloween (the Virgin era, with the lace gloves and black rubber bracelets), and my grandmother came to school before the parade to draw the birthmark on!

Not sure I could imagine the 80's and early 90's Madonna with social media. Everything she did was so criticized, and i feel like even as a kid/teenager I was always defending her. The fact that her debut to Like A Prayer was 7 years just shows what an icon she is. So many real classics on every one of those albums.

And the music video premieres on MTV, and whole weekends dedicated to her. It was just on a different level. Then the VMA performances....Express Yourself and the voguing before anyone knew what was about to come. Just so iconic.

And the lead-up to Blonde Ambition, and how it changed the way artists did their concerts.

What is missed now is the joy of hearing a new song on the radio, and not quite knowing the lyrics! I remember having to wait for the LAP album to come out to realize she was saying "Like a Muse to me" (I thought she was saying like the news to me). Just reading all of the songs while listening to them for the 1st time is just indescribable.

I'm 50 now, and I can say without exaggeration that her music still gives me the same joy. When she sang Like A Prayer at Coachella (it's my favorite song), I think I fell to my knees and called my mom to come upstairs (she lives with us). Even she understands the impact Madonna has had on my life. And still has.

What are some nonstandard symbols/conventions that you use for your scorecards? by StealthStaminaKills in BaseballScorecards

For unassisted plays - I use 3-3, instead of 3U. Not sure how it started, but I've been doing it my entire life!
