Of note, we discuss how the #isles need something to rally around or against. Projections as an underdog aren’t enough. They need to find a spark.

Bottom line: “It's not that they don't love to win… it's that they don't hate to lose.” - Shoresy

“Vote for us. We’ll defend democracy.”

Pitter patter.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.

I would know because I wrote the law.

Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.

This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5

[Jon Zella @jonzella]

They’ll never learn, continuing to trot along with the status quo as our grip on democracy is loosened from our freedom-less hands.

The democratic establishment is a bunch of cowards.

Binging Letterkenny as a coping mechanism.

Aligning the organization with white supremacy in hopes of being adjacent to power and exceptional to policy is… a choice.

@DoctorOsty @gothamsports @IslesMSGN @MSGNetworks Is it a regional thing? Is Gotham only available in the tri state? I’m still in NY, just upstate

[Jon Zella @jonzella]

@gothamsports @IslesMSGN @MSGNetworks How are #isles fans supposed to watch tonight? They’re not on the overflow MSG channel or Gotham.

@xxbigdaddycole You always know what to say

[Jon Zella @jonzella]

One of the best parts of being in a relationship is sharing childhood meals that the other person didn’t have growing up.

[Jon Zella @jonzella]

.@cultureoflosing’s point about how the #isles, when structured and hard to play against, have overcome injuries/players leaving and had a lot of success is spot on.

They’re neither of those right now, and that’s the concern. They have proven that for 12 games + 2 full seasons.

[Jon Zella @jonzella]

The numbers suggest this can’t last forever, but the #isles are often subjected to a special brand of hell in the form of bad luck. Which will win out?

[Nassaumen Hockey Podcast @NassaumenHockey]

.@brettnick47 is back on NHP this week to discuss #isles luck and hope for a regression to the mean.

In 1941, The 369th spent 8 months at Fort Ontario in Oswego, NY as the US geared up for a possible entrance into WWII.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

The 369th Infantry Regiment, The Harlem Hellfighters.

Though they spent more time in battle than any other regiment and were one of the most decorated, they never got the recognition they deserved.

This morning’s weather in Syracuse is intoxicating. Absolutely perfect.

I once had to pay for my transcripts as part of an application to a job at the same university where I received two degrees. I paid them to send my transcripts to… them.

This is great, but these institutions are so broken.
