- @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. 😋 🤔
