When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims
they didn't realize
they'd just invented Socialism
for undocumented refugee immigrants.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Growing up, I couldn’t wait to get back to New England every summer and it’s hot, unfortunately named pudding with vanilla ice cream.
Once a popular dessert (or breakfast) across the country, Indian Pudding is rarely seen outside of New England today but it deserves a comeback. youtu.be/RMSV5PVOA7Y?...

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Who is that acrobat in the outfield? Amazing defense is not what killed Mets today. It was all the sloppy games this week…and thru the 2nd half of season.

“Sadometsochism” - the best description of the kind of personality you need to be a Mets fan. Oy.
Anyway, to all my friends who are into #Mets abuse (i.e sadometsochism) but against #DomesticViolence, you should come and raffle with us and raise money with @apodoftheirown.bsky.social on September 20th

Maybe I’m too sensitive about 9/11 stuff. But posing the @phillies.com Phanatic in a firefighter’s gear - no, sir. That’s plain disrespectful. 9/11 is not about partisanship.
