@loomsboldly Just another problem for AI to solve..but seriously the teams that develop a challenge strategy will be ahead of the game, how long that takes is anyone’s guess.

Se hizo una convocatoria pública para que todos los trombonistas de Nueva York llevaran su instrumento y despidieran a Willie Colón hoy, a la salida de su féretro de la Catedral de San Patricio, donde se celebró una misa en su honor. Mira el resultado:

@loomsboldly how cool!

This iconic baseball anthem was written by Ruth Roberts and Bill Katz. Believe it or not, they also collaborated on a song called “Mailman, Bring Me No More Blues” which was recorded by the great Buddy Holly and….The Beatles! Another Mets-Beatles connection. Songwriting royalty.

Whoever is the lead interior designer at @AmericanAir should be terminated

Brand new flagship biz seats to LA
- uncomfortably tight
- the tray table cannot support the weight of a laptop (flight attendants said oh we know, and said other passengers rollup the blanket to add support to the table)
- no room on either side of the seat makes it very hard to be productive

Hard to believe after a multi-year process to move from three cabin planecto two cabin plane this is what they came up with -- wonder if they tested on a biz class passenger

@andyserling I believe that Ruth “summered” in MV for a long time so it was an easy get and a great fundraising opportunity.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

I own a small bakery. Business has been slow. Rent is up. I was thinking about closing.

Last Friday, a teenager came in. He looked nervous. He counted out change for a cookie. He was short 50 cents.

"It's okay," I said. "Take it."

He ate it at a table, looking at his math homework. He looked stuck.

I used to be a math tutor.

I walked over. "Quadratic equations?"

He nodded. "I don't get it."

I sat down and helped him for 20 minutes. He got it. He left smiling.

The next day, he came back with two friends. They bought cookies.

The day after that, five kids came.

Apparently, he told the school, "The lady at the bakery helps with homework."

Now, my bakery is the after-school hang-out spot. It's loud. It's messy. There are backpacks everywhere.

Yesterday, I found a note in the tip jar. It was wrapped around a $20 bill.

"Thanks for helping my son pass math. A Mom."

I'm not closing the bakery.

I think I finally found my purpose.

It's not cookies. It's community.

@SullyCNBC Brian can you comment on how this effort to regain control of oil production in Venezuela by Trump admin has to do with Petrodollars and the effect on US currency values and the stability of overall economy? Appreciate your insights!

[Bl@ke @selectortbm]

@Rhino_Records can you confirm a release date for the @TheReplacements “Let it Be” box set reissue?

[Bl@ke @selectortbm]

@loomsboldly I was too busy losing a similar amount thanks to crazy long shots at the Spa today. 😢

[Bl@ke @selectortbm]

@loomsboldly any comment? 😉
