1. Some good news at last. This week’s column is about the amazing thing a couple of us stumbled into three years ago, which we’ve now developed into a global research programme. It doesn’t change everything, of course, but it could help change quite a lot. + 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I watched the first episode of The Pitt last night. What a show!! A thrilling (and educational) experience. Not a dull moment where reality and fiction collide in the emergency room of a hospital. What is happening there didn’t happen in a vacuum. It has psychological and social ramifications …

In an ad in Reddit, FB ask to join in, if you were planning to going home for the holidays in order to reconnect with old friends… I disagree: there’s a reason why they’re not your friends anymore. Getting disappointed is the most probable outcome and the reason you should avoid them at all costs.

Sade releases her “Promise” LP 40 years ago today. Of “Sweetest Taboo,” she said: “.. It’s about a love that feels almost TOO good, the sort of feeling you don’t talk about because it makes you vulnerable. I like writing about that kind of emotion — the danger .. of loving someone that deeply.”

I’m convinced that the “Opium of the masses” is not religion but the smartphones! Those who control the content delivered through them, control everything…

I decided to go to bed after the ninth inning of last night’s World Series game and I’m glad I did… What a ‘crazy’ game that was!

The Mets are done! I have to root for the Yankees for now but I don’t trust them…, they’re very inconsistent the last few years. Let’s see! There’s one more month of Baseball and I have to think fast forward on what’s going to distract me from the today’s sad reality when this is over.

After one week!

I don’t know what’s wrong with The Mets but the way they played the last two months of the season deserves to be kicked out of the playoffs.

Good ‘Sundae’! This Manhattan Island Dahlia is setting up nicely… Enjoy 😊

In all its glory!

Yeah, I think that 'Corn tacos' are better than the alternatives!

I saw the first episode of The Studio before they got all those awards at the Emmys. Because of that I felt encouraged to see the rest of the season and now I really understand why they won so big. Seth Rogen and the whole crew are exceedingly amazing all the way in the following episodes!!

Gorgeous day outside Yankee Stadium!

Phew!!! These Mets games are not for the faint of heart! They won this afternoon, at last; they get to survive another day…

Fresh!

The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen pulled off an unbelievable win. Down 15 points in the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter, they ended up 41/40.

It seems to me that the New York Mets have to score 10+ runs in order to win a ballgame.

I didn't play the Powerball last night. I'd have lost if I'd played the numbers that I had in mind. I did checked it because of some masochistic thought I had. Do you imagine? Anyway, the reward is so big that it makes the investing (or losing) of some dollars, worthy.

I was there, yesterday!

Walking around…

I’ve been watching Drew Barrymore advertising MSC cruises. I used to love her when she started acting. Not anymore! She sounds unauthentic and fake; maybe is something else too. But the truth is, I won’t be sailing on those cruises!

I think the Yankees made a huge mistake letting Holmes go. The Mets, on the contrary, made the right move contracting him. Who would have thought that making him a starter was the fix he needed. The guy throws nasty stuff when he’s in control. No doubt about it!

The "No Kings" argument seems pretty superficial...but it's not. Trump has a childlike idea of the power of the president. He views the job as being the most powerful (and famous) man in the world and he hates anything about it that suggests his power (or fame) is limited.

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.
