@kateesackhoff@trutriciahelfer Just started a rewatch last week.
One of the greatest sci-fi series ever produced.
I wish the Caprica series was given a chance for a few more season.
The Jim Thone home run that @dcone36 just mentioned on the @YESNetwork broadcast was in Game 6 of the 1998 ALCS.
I was at that game sitting in right field lower deck. The ball went over my head.
But the win was epic. Yankee Stadium was on fire that night.
@tylermilliken_ Hereβs an idea.
If an umpire had 3 calls overturned during a game, theyβre out.
Replace them behind the plate with another umpire.
Give them an incentive to get it right the first time. Iβm sure none of them want to be embarrassed by being removed from behind the plate.
If weβre going to do ABS then letβs do ABS.
@MLB needs to change this rule and allow for at least 3 challenges per inning, not this 2 per game garbage.
It takes almost zero time, the delay in the game is unnoticeable.

LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Terminal B.
2+ hour wait time for @TSA
The line wraps back and forth through the terminal several times.
TSA Agents are helpful in providing direction to travelers entering the terminal. People are calm, but clearly very frustrated.
Made it though security at @DFWAirport in under 5 minutes.
Thank you to all the @TSA employees working today without a paycheck to ensure we can all get to where we need to go.
Despite the lack of a paycheck, they were fast, efficient, and courteous.
The work we do at the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) is incredibly important. Every day we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty and ensure that each succeeding generation knows who they were and the sacrifice they made.
A large part of my work over the years has been historical research. It began with updating memorials for officers who were already known to have died in the line of duty. Before long, however, I began discovering officers whose sacrifices had been forgotten, officers unknown to their own departments and whose names did not appear on the ODMP or other state and national memorials.
Below is the story of how I discovered three Lynbrook, New York, officers nearly 25 years ago.
Since then, I have uncovered hundreds of previously unrecorded line-of-duty deaths. Their stories have now been added to the ODMP and to local, state, and national memorials so that their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
Among those are nearly 100 NYPD officers, including two from the @NYPD67Pct, where I began my policing career.
I am extremely proud of the ODMP staff. They have done extraordinary work, growing the organization from a two-person operation when it was founded in 1996 into the largest and most recognized police memorial in the country.
Weβre honored to highlight ODMP Board Member Lieutenant @steveODMP (Ret., NYPD).
A volunteer since 2001 and Board member since 2004, Steve has helped lead efforts to identify and document hundreds of previously forgotten line-of-duty deaths, ensuring every fallen officer is properly honored and remembered.
After 21 years with the NYPD, his commitment to this mission continues.
π₯ Watch his message. https://t.co/gzRGi8yUeM
@PaulDMauro Absolutely amazing finish.
In the meantime the race organizers are handing out finisher medals to people who complete 18 of the 26.2 miles.
Offensive to any runner.

Most people have bad days at work.
Maybe a deadline gets missed. Maybe a customer yells. Maybe traffic makes the commute miserable.
But very few people go to work knowing that someone might throw a bomb at them.
Yesterday outside Gracie Mansion, NYPD (@NYPDnews) officers were confronted with exactly that. An improvised explosive device packed with nuts, bolts and screws and capable of causing serious injury or death was thrown by a terrorist during a protest.
And when it happened, those officers didnβt run away.
They ran toward it.
Thatβs what policing in the City of New York demands: split-second decisions, courage under life-threatening pressure, and the willingness to put yourself between danger and the public.
Every tour.
So the next time someone talks casually about a βhard day at work,β remember that thousands of police officers across this country face risks most people will never experience.
Yesterday in New York, they faced a terrorist-style explosive device, and did exactly what they always do.
They stepped up and protected the city.
This year, the Officer Down Memorial Page marks its 30th year.
For three decades, @ODMP has existed to honor law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty and to preserve their stories with care. We have always understood this work as a responsibility, and we remain grateful for the trust placed in us by families, agencies, volunteers, and supporters.
This anniversary year is a moment to reflect on that responsibility and the people at the heart of it.
