Happy Kwanzaa to my friends who are celebrating!

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! 🎄

To all of my friends celebrating Christmas Eve.

If her speaking is any indication of her communication skills I am hardly surprised. I am just sad for the professor who lost her job over this.

Honestly, I am okay with this. I like him and will always be grateful for his time here, but his role was not that of Alonso and Diaz. After that some things seem minor. I actually feel sorry for him that he's going to such a non-competitive team. Thanks for the fun times Jeff.

Happy Festivus!

✨ Blessed Winter Solstice ✨ We honor the return of the light - a moment of renewal, reflection, and releasing what no longer serves. In this stillness, we plant new seeds and remember the inner flame that carries us through the dark. Wishing clarity, resilience, and brighter days ahead for all 🌅🕯️❄️🖤

Happy Winter Solstice! This is a day that I love to celebrate. It is promise and hope that light will return. I am going looking at Christmas lights this evening as well to celebrate.

You will never find justice in a world where criminals make the law — Bob Marley

Jimmy Fallon is what would happen if AI created a late night host

Today's Coffee Spitter ================

Today, Earth will share its cosmic neighborhood with something that does not belong to our solar system. Known as 3I/ATLAS,it is only the 3rd interstellar visitor ever observed passing through our Sun’s domain. Moving too fast to be gravitationally bound to our solar system it will quickly leave.

BREAKING: Kennedy Niece Maria Shriver: "It is beyond comprehension that this sitting president has sought to rename this great memorial dedicated to President Kennedy. It is beyond wild that he would think adding his name in front of President Kennedy’s name is acceptable. It is not."

I HOPE that the next President reverses this and all of this craziness. I thought those "plaques" were a satire from the Onion at first. I guess I should have known better. This is getting into sheer and utter lunacy.

Today we lost a kind humanitarian. Greg Biffle, a former NASCAR driver and hero during Helene, lost his life, and his wife and children, in a plane crash earlier today. Not sure how it happened yet but he made a quick return to the airport. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QehE...

What is the term for not knowing what you want to get someone? Gift block? I am having it big time this holiday season.

Seriously? RFK thinks that individuals with autism cannot work or have a meaningful life, this idiot thinks that people who have physical challenges are not qualified to marry. And nobody is "called" to marriage.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of my Knicks friends! It's not been a fun week or two being a NY fan. But I know this means a lot to you, enjoy!🎉🎉

For anyone worried AI will replace all of us. Courtesy of Gemini for the prompt “create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986” I dare you to find 10 things that are right.

LA is racking up a billion dollars in deferred payments. I do not feel sorry for them when the bills come due, but if there was a commissioner who was not led around by the nose by owners this would never happen. It should not happen.

Interesting. I take it as he was headed to LA no matter what. ATL offered him a 5-year contract but if it was down to the details then is it about ego? bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

We all have a Rob Reiner favorite. Stand By Me was mine. No explanation even necessary.

Farewell, RR. Nothing but love for ya

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing. All from his movies.

Unfortunately, you literally turn on your computer and cannot get away from bad news. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Rob and Michele Reiner, especially the way in which they left this realm.

I got to see Kenny G tonight. 🙂🎷 He is an ENTERTAINER. Went over two hours without a break and did a meet and greet afterwards. I HIGHLY recommend you go to see him if you get the chance. What a wonderful evening.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

I would like to send love to my friends who are celebrating Hanukkah today. Although I know it is a time of meaningful celebration, I am also saddened by the horrific events in Sydney. This is coming off of a mass shooting at Brown here in the U.S. yesterday. For anyone who is affected, much love.

24 hours later: Okay Stearns, we'll take you on the young rebuild. Then the likes of Tong STAY unless they are in a trade package which include a Cy Young winner whose last name starts with the letters SK.

Good afternoon all. After a semi-good night's sleep and acing my one final (🎉!) I realized the team made it to the NLCS without Edwin and the magic 2024 happened without him. IF (and I mean IF) there are no more subtractions and meaningful additions I think the team can survive this.

I can't figure out why Fallon is trending. But I do have an idea: give him the NBC late night host door and replace him with Colbert.

Something curious: the Mets and Os both have billionaire owners with GMs who really are not doing what is best for their club. Spending doesn't always equal success but I see both teams as having poor GMs who are costing their teams dearly. Both owners have the resources to get a winning culture.

Just a reminder: none of this would be happening with the Dodgers if we did not have a commissioner who allows organizations to flagrantly flaunt the rules. The Dodgers now get to defer salaries. In what other sport would that fly?

As far as Stearns: point taken. Anyone can walk from this team and he doesn't care. Got it. Nimmo and Diaz in the course of how long, 10 days? Fans get the point but fans also are the ones filling the seats. He's flirting with a disaster if we end up in "rebuild" mode.

👇👇👇

At his best Edwin gave us magic. At his worst he gave us the middle finger. I will miss the magic but remember the middle finger. He's not a beloved Met who got away ever again.

This one hurts. I thought he was a Met first and player second. I guess it's all about business. But to go to a major rival like this? Are we to be pissed at Stearn, too?

Right now if I let all the language out inside of me I'd probably be banned from this fine app. I'll change my picture later, am on a break. 😡

Survivors of the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor have long been the center of a remembrance ceremony held each year on the military base's waterfront.

Happy birthday Polar Bear!

It just might work.

It's about time for this annual post. ❄️❄️https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBb_-z-udPw

Sometimes you just have to make Christmas happen, and let the joy follow later. (Kittens in Christmas ornaments are pretty great though)

My half a week off of work and school was fun but nowhere near enough. I have a new tradition, and it is reading @catherineryanhyde.bsky.social's new book each November over my break. This is a beautifully sensitive story about addiction, mental health and how people can heal each other.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when donald trump berates and calls women names, including journalists, it is a form of verbal and psychological abuse. It's a baiting move used by narcissists to make the victim feel less than, and it's absolutely wrong. He's gaslighting to test 👇

Today is Small Business Saturday! Please take the opportunity to shop at your amazing local businesses. We have West Reading here, whose shops rival that of a small New England community.

It's official! Santa has hit Herald Square, so the 2025 holiday season has officially begun. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and many more happy days to come until the end of the year.
