@RadioFreeTom Not a problem at all. An adorable, happy kitty who is getting used to being spoiled rotten.

@RadioFreeTom Absolutely she did. Carla knew someone had to care for her heartbroken parents.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom She's gorgeous. A new member of the Nichols family? (Sorry I don't know Lynn's last name).

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@SouthpawGirl1 @RadioFreeTom @TheLastWord Of course you miss her. She was very special. You are such a good cat dad, you should have a kitty (not necessarily kitten) of your own. When, and only when, you are ready. Carla can never be replaced but you and Lynn can open your home and your hearts to someone totally new.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@sportpeppercat Sport Pepper you are being a brat. Kiddo is older and should be given the respect that a mature cat deserves.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom So sorry for your loss of Carla. Kitty love is amazing, until it becomes Kitty loss. Then it is devastating. She was a wonderful cat and a very smart one. May you and Lynn be comforted by Carla's love. And may her memory be a blessing.

@CharlesMBlow @nytopinion i believe in Israel's right to exist. As a native of lower Manhattan I understand Israel's need for revenge after 10/7

OTH, I abhor Netanyahu, trump's Jewish clone. Biden needs to speak up against Israel's conduct and insist on ceasefire and removing Hamas from power.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@CharlesMBlow @nytopinion Thank you for this on target column and for your years of insightful reporting and commentary. Yes I am a fan.

What moved me to tears was your column on Black-Jewish relations and the potentially horrific consequences if both groups don't support Biden and vote. I am Jewish and

@shaylarz Congratulations on your boy getting baseball's highest honor. Definitely well deserved, Mauer was at the heart of some amazing teams that dominated the early 90s before the latest version of Yankee champions matured. Mazel Tov to Mauer, his team and the Twin Cities.

@AoDespair It even impacts New York. Sure the Times is the Times and more entertaining than "Giants Win Super Bowl see page 63" era. But still full of itself and not good for local news. The Daily News is a shell and despite good sports and media coverage I wont read the Post.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom Best wishes to you and your loved ones, including Carla--especially Carla truth be known, for the most joyous of holidays and a triumph of democracy, as well as more personal milestones of happiness,
in 2024.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom When is she NOT living her best life? Carla has it down!

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom Carla loves you and doesn't want you disturbed. Of course she doesn't know the news is worse than any horror movies today. Oh to be an unaware spoiled house cat. (No offense my cats are spoiled af.)

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@AoDespair Interesting. Goes to an article in today's NYT about the division between the Jewish community and the left wing over the slaughter in Israel and in retaliation in Gaza. The Triangle Fire was largely a Jewish tragedy (Italians as well) and the left also claims the memory.

Keep in mind: The stated goal of Hezbollah and Hamas is the obliteration of Israel. They’re anti-Semitic Holocaust deniers aligned with, backed by and militarily supported by the repressive regimes of Iran and Russia. Israel is justly defending its U.N.-recognized right to exist.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Horrible news from Israel. My condolences go out to everyone who lost relatives or close ones in the terrorist attack. We have faith that order will be restored and terrorists will be defeated.

Terror should have no place in the world, because it is always a crime, not just against a specific country or this terror’s victims, but against humanity in general and our entire world.

Anyone who resorts to terror commits a crime against the world. Whoever finances terror is committing a crime against the world. The world must stand united and in solidarity so that terror does not attempt to break or subjugate life anywhere and at any moment.

Israel's right to self-defense is unquestionable.

All details surrounding this terrorist assault must be revealed so that the world knows and holds accountable everyone who supported and helped carry out the attack.

All Ukrainian citizens who remain in the risk zone must carefully obey all orders issued by local security services and remain vigilant. Please be cautious. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our embassy in Israel are ready to assist in any situation.

To support Ukrainians in Israel, we established an operational headquarters. If you require assistance, please contact any of our diplomatic or consular offices in any convenient and accessible manner.

Every life is valuable! We condemn all forms of terrorism.

History has taught us the cost of appeasement. While the Republican Party used to oppose murderous oppressors, today they kneel to them. They betray the ideals so many patriots died to defend.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@dollymad1812 @NormOrnstein I am truly conflicted. I despise the policies of the Israeli government in the same way I despise trump. Especially regarding Palestinian rights. But I have relatives (very anti-Netanyahu) and descendants of very close family friends in Israel and I fear for their safety.

[lizyankeefan @lsolomon212]

@RadioFreeTom I have always admired your accomplishments and, when our politics were not aligned, your patriotism and service. And your obvious and appropriate adoration of Carla. But learning you are a Steely Dan devotee, I am now an official Radio Free Tom fan girl!
