It seems to me that, except for Errol Louis, that NY1’s other reporters and coverage is pro-Cuomo.

I also felt their 2024 coverage was pro-Trump. But I am a partisan Democrat.

I remember back in the 1990s when if you did not like The Super Bowl Halftime Show you would just turn on MTV and they would show you a new special episode of Beavis and Butt-Head.

NBC is starting 6 hours of NBA coverage tonight. After Rockets-Thunder it’s Warriors-Lakers.

NBA knows how to promote their league!

Next year MLB has opening night of Yankees-Giants on Netflix.

Wish I was more of a basketball and football fan.

When I saw Carla Bruni’s Instagram post this morning, all in French and the only word I recognized was "nicolassarkozy 💔", I guessed it was bad news for him.

Seattle Mariners fans feel the same way I did on October 8, 1995.

Though tonight I was rooting for them.

This is the article Rachel Maddow was discussing tonight.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

“The clear answer from this research is that demonstrations like No Kings Day can make a big difference. They are a show of the depth and popularity of a movement, reassuring those who are opposed to a nation’s direction that many, many others share that opposition.”-Paul Krugman

Civil Resistance Confronts the Autocracy

While MAGA’s spin was both insane and revealing, the No Kings Day 2 Marches were a major step towards taking our country back.

The New York Times had not prominently featured No Kings on the front page of their digital edition. But on Sunday October 19th at 11:18PM, No Kings is still featured on the top of Page 1 of The Atlantic.

You can blame the whole 6-7 meme & kids laughing uncontrollably at the mention of "6-7" on my Baby Boom Generation. When I was in Geometry Class, every time the teacher mentioned "Triangle ABC," the kids in the class would laugh and sing the number one hit by The Jackson 5, "ABC." It's MY fault!

Seems like the only mention in today's New York Times digital edition of No Kings is Trump's AI-Generated video response.

The march of 7 million people, many of whom read and subscribe The New York Times is already forgotten.

But NYT's op-ed page today is still rehashing the 2024 election.

I am proud to have two low-tech Timex watches that never break that I only have to change the battery once a year.

Of course it has been a long time since I cared if other teenagers cared about the style of my watch.

Errol Louis of Spectrum News NY1 will be the moderator and he's terrific. It should be the best possible debate considering the abilities of the three Mayoral candidates. It's scheduled to be for 2 hours.

Different subject.

Somebody told me their daughter was going overseas in September. I said I would follow up to see how their experience was coming back into America with customs border patrol.

Was that your daughter? Sorry if I could you/your daughter with someone else.

I vote for the Democratic Party
They want the U.N. to be strong
I go to all the Pete Seeger concerts
He sure gets me singing those songs
I'll send all the money you ask for
But don't ask me to come on along
So, love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal (2/2)

Actually, this does sound like me. But I don't take it personally.
