Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the 17th pitcher to be Opening Day starter & be on the mound for the final play of the World Series that year

Lesson to Ontario liberals as they search for someone again

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Any Commerce Clause experts want to weigh in on this

This…guy, bemoaning SNAP & the Americans who rely on it to eat is the guy who stole from charities, defrauded Americans with a fake university, enriches himself with taxpayer dollars, sells foreign policy decisions for personal gain, and refused to pay workers & vendors for their work. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

This is how a real President is supposed to act

"...2night we should bury the memory of Andrew Cuomo. It's the last gasp of a man rejected by history. No more off the record calls to reporters. No more hearing from his Smithers (Rich Azzopardi)& his Renfield (Melissa DeRosa). He was the worst this city had to offer." nygroove.nyc/andrew-cuomo...

"He presents [NYC] as a fundamentally good place...He makes it sound as if people are a part of something, and as if they have the ability to make that thing better. If anyone's searching for a winning way to talk about democracy, they could try to do the same." www.indignity.net/politics-is-local/

The late bass master Henry Grimes was born OTD 90 years ago. Grimes played with the likes of Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Cecil Taylor, and Marc Robot, but don't forget his first (and until the 2000s, only) album as leader, the terrific The Call (📸 Francis Wolff)

This is corrupt on so many levels.

He lacks even the most basic knowledge of history.🤦‍♀️ It was World War I which was ended by the armistice on November 11, 1918. The Spanish Flu did spread through armies and weakened them on both sides contributing to the end.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.) www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/03/c...

The car is the albatross around the neck of all Americans. It’s the one thing you can’t do without to participate in the economy in many places, yet it’s also the thing that consumes so much of your income and life that you are a chained to supporting it.

He is demented.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @deadder.bsky.social )

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

These were also my thoughts when I heard about it 👇👇👇

@mta.info added 4 intervals(1-way trips) to the A train, and 8 intervals to the L, increasing the total weekday intervals systemwide from 8325 on 6/23/25 to 8337 as of 11/2/2025, or a 0.001% increase in subway service. www.amny.com/news/subway-...

It was his “experience & leadership” that led to the deaths of 177 @mta.info workers from COVID, despite the agency having a pandemic plan in place (since Dec 2012), and 75-240k N95 masks stockpiled throughout the agency’s facilities…

Not only that but the people who claim they're most likely to leave are 50+ Republicans. These are the people who either move to Florida anyway or literally never leave their neighborhood, let alone NYC.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Facts matter…this is true. 💙

Max Boot: The rate of boat strikes has roughly doubled since Adm Alvin Holsey’s departure as head of Southern Command was announced in mid-October. Evidently Hegseth has found more-compliant officers who will do Trump’s bidding even if, in the process, they risk a future court martial.

WE HAVE A DEAL: We are happy to share that all of our hard work - and with the support of the people of New York - we have a tentative agreement on our first contract with Alden Global Capital

Incredible coverage today. Why aren’t progressives flocking to the creepy old guy who was accused by 13 women of sexual harassment, killed a bunch of grandparents and spent the first half of his time in office empowering Republicans? A true mystery. bsky.app/profile/npr....

A good way to weed out people from your life is whether or not they take this article seriously.

Running weekend service during the NYC marathon was certainly a choice.

“…you will see owners and perhaps even MLB commissioner Rob Manfred complaining that most teams in the league are at a competitive disadvantage, as they cannot keep up with the Dodgers’ spending. That’s not the case. They simply do not have owners committed to winning.” www.amny.com/sports/dodge...

"The Trump administration is using the law as a weapon to go after its enemies, exact revenge and suppress dissent,… "James Comey and Letitia James are good examples,…There's no reason to think they won't do the same to retired generals in civil or military courts.”1/4 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

An Air Canada flight right now

SCOTUS to hear arguments this week on whether a TV commercial that makes you mad is a national economic “emergency”. 🤡 @apnews.com #IEEFA apnews.com/article/trum...

What he said: 💯 🎯

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. . .Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” — Carl Sagan

And I think that’s perfect! Did you see Frump say that it didn’t matter which team won, neither would be invited to the White House? What a petty little man. I’d wear that as a badge of honor.

The Blue Jays were the true winners this season. Their heart and team spirit are unmatched in baseball and any other sport. Minor league players became stars. Stars became superstars. Thank you for the memories, the fun and the great season of incredible baseball! #BlueJays

Rogers Hornsby: People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring. Rogers Hornsby's Therapist: Let's unpack that, Roger. Rogers Hornsby: It's "Rogers"

“Although [agent Jim] Murray’s job is to advocate for players, he “acted as a ‘mole’” for Manfred & his top lieutenants, according to a 5-page memo and a detailed 71-page disciplinary letter the Major League Baseball Players Association sent to its player leadership… www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

“Give Donald Trump this much: He has never tried to hide his malice, his lawlessness, or his desire to inflict pain on others. …Yet more than 77 million Americans decided that he was the man with whom they wanted to entrust the care of this nation.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Pappas: It’s a big tell that Republicans are trying to gerrymander their way into a permanent majority, because they understand how historically unpopular their ideas are. Whether it’s closing rural hospitals, kicking people off their health insurance, or taking food away from hungry families

note how the messaging has shifting from "we're targeting criminals" to "we're deporting everyone"

My Manitoba Healthcare Story 🇨🇦 As part of my treatment plan for T2D, I get my A1C checked every 3 months I went to my doctor this week to get my results. She gave me a new Rx, so I went to the pharmacy I got a Flu & Covid shot while I waited Total Cost $0* *Vaccines & Diabetes Meds are free*
