If money can’t buy power, the rich have nothing. This is the real revolution.

If my math and Google AI is right. The odds of the Red Sox (an all time .518 winning team) putting together 15 game win streak in a season is 1 in 19,267. The have had 17,817 chances to do that over 125 1/2 seasons and have done it twice.

I had no idea. There were Chapdelaines at my high school and they ran a furniture store near Mount Holyoke College in S. Hadley.

Excellent short history of the leaders that Mayor Mamdani draws inspiration. In addition, long-time Milwaukee mayor, Henry Meier, a Democrat, embraced many sewer socialist policies.

Nice job @senatorjohn.bsky.social queuing up Feliz Navidad during the end of game fisticuffs. I always wondered what the players were saying while whaling away on each other Turns out it is: "I want wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart."

I just saw the movie "Eephus," which takes place on the last day of the season of an amateur baseball league. It is excellent. I played a few years in an over-55 league and the movie totally nails the vibe.

Yesterday, I toured the Preserve at Olmstead Green in Mattapan. 80 beautiful new homes - 79% income restricted. @mayorwu.boston.gov's historic commitment to affordable housing made this development possible. Appreciation for Boston Communities, New Boston Fund, and @masshousing.bsky.social

Cool charts and data from CA. I'm a data point of one in New England, but last year, I looked at the Mustang, ID.4 and Ioniq 5 and bought the Hyundai. Would not even consider a Tesla b/c of Musk. If Ford or Toyota built a midsize plug-in hybrid truck, I might trade my V8 F150 for it.

The only thing that could make this clip better would be to extend the offer to all the New England states and a mention of the 900,000+ French-Canadian emigrants who came here with little more than a willingness and ability to work hard.

Thoughts after 1 yr of EV ownership. 1. We love our Ionic 5, tons of acceleration. 2. If we didn't have rooftop solar, we wouldn't have an EV. At our elec. rate >$.30/kw, the $/mi is lower with gas. 3. If you pay less than $.20/kw, EV should be cheaper.

It's Thanksgiving! Are you getting your eels ready? It's tradition! The 1st Thanksgiving included a big table full of eels. And it's fitting. Tisquantum brought eels to the starving pilgrims that spring to celebrate their new treaty w/ the local Wampanoag tribe. 1/5 🗃️🧪

B&W drawing of the 1st Thanksgiving, showing a table full of vegetables and eels. In the center are a pilgrim man, dressed in black and white, with a silly hat and giant collar. He's holding a bowl of grapes, and looking incredibly disengaged. Standing with him is a Native American man, with feathers in his hair. He's not wearing a shirt, but he is wearing several armbands. In all, he looks far more comfortable. He's reaching for a grape, or pointing at one as if to say, "This one has the poison."

Behind the Native American are several others, fading into the background. Behind the pilgrim are two figures, presumably his wife and kid, and couple of houses with thatched roofs. The wife, carrying a basket of apples, has an uncertain expression on her face. It's likely that she's checking out the half-dressed man in her yard, and thinking about how her husband doesn't stack up so well.

On the table in the foreground, in pride of place, is a plate piled high with eels. NOW it's a feast.

It was easier than firing the team. Getting fired from the Bruins worked out for Cassidy and I'm sure it will for Montgomery as well.

This is really important. When you say things like “there won’t be anymore elections,” you’re granting DJT power that he doesn’t have. It’s easy to think that way. I can attest to it. Don’t. #WePushBack

Before the elections it's mostly horse race speculation and prognostication. Stakes-driven coverage is for when it's too late to do anything about it.

This pattern has held my entire adult life from the banking crisis of the early '90's. When voters are truly anxious about the economy, they elect Dems and only after the crisis has passed R's.
