Join next week's rally to help @MondaireJones flip #NY17 - featuring the one and only @SenBooker ! click.ngpvan.com/k/95804822/507…

@MondaireJones There's a surge of optimism on Threads - consider joining the wave there - there is little hope to change the intentions of the owner of this website, formerly known as Twitter.

When Mike Lawler thinks the cameras are off, he says what he really feels. While campaigning for Donald Trump and JD Vance recently, Lawler said that Democrats “hate America.” I am appalled that Lawler has such contempt for the hundreds of thousands of Democrats in the 17th District. He also said that Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election and pledged to pardon the insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement officers, “loves this country.” The Lower Hudson Valley deserves better.

Primary Day in #Westchester! Go out there and vote, there's some hotly contested races going on and your voice matters! @LatimerforNY @SusanCacace @MondaireJones

@bryansfsd now I can't unsee that Bryan!

Great planning meeting over in Peekskill to help get @MondaireJones elected in November. Wake up, Westchester Democrats, the gateway to the House of Representatives is through NY-17.

Fascinating article my wife wrote about how an upstate 19th century small business turned to hooch production during prohibition: newyorkalmanack.com/2023/10/winter…

@ouraring I was not given a ticket number. Someone named Klue is taking forever to reply to my email response to her suggestions. Ring not working for 7 days now. What’s up with Oura’s customer service?

@joebachana Hi Joe, thank you for letting us know about this. Please DM us with your ticket number or sales order number to help you get this resolved.

@ouraring have been attempting to reach you for customer support for a week using your help form. What gives?

@michaelharriot Fantastic. Well done thread, Michael!

Just because Tony Bennett was a diversity hire who got his job through affirmative action… It doesn’t mean he wasn’t qualified.

A lot of outlets have been telling the story of Tony Bennett marching with MLK. But have you ever heard the story about how “wokeness,” DEI, Jesus, an actual anti-racist, 2 church choirs & 1 of the greatest dance moves of all time got Tony Bennett into show biz? A thread

@Alan_Couzens @altini_marco True. But technically you are a public figure now so the approach volumes are higher…

@joebachana @altini_marco Not for/with everyone.

I used to love to argue. I debated at a high level throughout high school. Arguing was my thing. So, I get people who see social media as a prime outlet for that need. Since I've grown up, however, I just don't enjoy it like I used to. So, you'll need to go somewhere else for that.

@Alan_Couzens @altini_marco Alternative approach: disengage/detach when the argument goes personal. Arguing principles//concepts is as exciting as it was back in high school/college.

@altini_marco Can relate. Pretty much given up on the ability to change perspectives through argument, however good that argument may be. Must say, realizing this, while completely depressing & nihilistic, is freeing in its own way 😊

Want a Better Bounce? If you wish to make athlete hopping better focus on bilateral rebounding and release the assistance after the rhythm is in place. Start with success for easy gains. I don’t like plyometrics for height or distance until an athlete can bounce.

@Romar55 @stevemagness 15:18 xC 5k verified. ny.milesplit.com/articles/17412…

@stevemagness Appreciate you bringing the receipts for this one Steve 😁 Bernie running a sub 5 mile in the late 1950s is incredible. His 5K time would have been mid 17:00s easy.

Good for him for running! But...To answer his question about past candidates: - Beto ran 21:44 for 5k - Bernie ran a 4:37 mile in HS - George W. Bush ran 3:44 for the marathon (8:35 pace) I'm sure there are more. But let's not go crazy about an ~8min pace 5k.

@stevemagness Bernie also ran a 15:18 at Vanny…back in ‘57 before that course was manicured. If we are picking Presidents by their race accomplishments I’d say the others should #FeelTheBern

@scottcarlinpt Interesting advice. Not being a HC professional, any creak or discomfort that lasts a day or two makes me pause (and cross train instead). I need a bit more courage

3 scenarios I don’t run through: 1. Unrelenting, distressing pain. 2. Sickness 3. If I'm feeling significantly overtrained. Otherwise, it's time to lace 'em up

@SarahAnnEgan Sit in as much as you can. If you can move along with the pack with minimal pedaling, you’re doing great!

I've got my first ever race tonight. It's the local club league. It's a crit (30 mins plus two laps) Any advice?
