@hwinkler4real.bsky.social --I'm watching you in a movie called Ground Control. The cast is great & I'm shocked the film was directed by Ron Howard. Amazing how much younger we all looked 25+ years ago.

@patriciatraina.bsky.social --Great podcast to wrap up the season. You make a great point re Schoen giving Daboll latitude the past 3 seasons, but that more accountability is preferable. I wish that was the case last year when NYG hired Bowen, when most of the D was a poor fit for his scheme.

What's for dinner on New Year's Eve? How about Cioppino?

Teddi and I were lighting Chanukah candles tonight.

@patriciatraina.bsky.social-Mailbag Question. I'd like to see Daboll return as HC, but a major drawback is whether he can recruit a talented DC and/or OC given his tenuous hold on his job. Further, the Shane Bowen experience is a strong indication that any coach needs to fit the talent assembled.

Great read. newrepublic.com/article/1890...

I've read a few comments from some recent converts from X that someone needs a minimum of 5K followers on Bluesky. I disagree with the POV. This community existed just fine when most people had follow/follow counts of 1 K. In short, follow who you want. I applaud those members who feel similar.

Teddi and I are hanging at the dog park.

The MAGAts are in for a huge wake-up call. I have not an ounce of empathy to spare for any of them when they start to complain about the economy.

After digesting this article, I'm left to wonder why not a single major media property employs an internal polling unit that replicates the models the candidates use to gauge their metrics. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

@martinanav.bsky.social --Martina, it's great to see you here on Bluesky. You were kind enough to follow me at the old place. I hope you are doing well in life and your health is strong. All the best.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends on Bluesky. This is my favorite holiday of the year.

@mattlombardo.bsky.social --it's great to see you here on Bluesky. Happy Thanksgiving.

@amytrask.bsky.social --it's great to see you here on Bluesky. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 🙂

For new members, please consider this POV. All too many lament the loss of thousands of followers on X who are now part of this community. With 18M members here you can rebuild, if you like. Personally, I enjoy a smaller follower count. It's allowed me to really get to know some wonderful people.

Hi Everyone, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine @mnniceterese.bsky.social. Terese is a recent refugee from the old place, and she is a great follow. Please give her profile a look.

I am taking perverse pleasure in eating a pumpkin pie starting from the middle & moving outward. 😋 🤔
