CBS = Cat Bringing Smiles
One of the most famous addresses in the world, 10 Downing Street in London, is home not just to prime ministers, but also to a 19-year-old tabby cat named Larry.
@HollyMAWilliams looks at how the official pet of the British leader’s residence and Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office has become a favorite to the press — and a political fixture whose nine lives have so far outlasted five prime ministers.

Gibson is A level at lowest but the list has many questions throughout.
Sandy Koufax and Nolan Ryan aren’t even there. Both should be A also but more worthy of G status than Clemens (IMO).
So glad they finally did. Worth the wait!!

The real in the (sea)weeds story here: @TroyJackson207 not even in the U.S. Senate yet and already working to deliver support in Washington for Maine's lobster industry. 🦞🦞🦞
This is a bit deep in the (sea)weeds of Maine lobster politics, but quite notable after Republicans hit Troy Jackson for bringing Sen. Maria Cantwell to Maine.

Fred Lynn should never have left Fenway. He was never the same after that
My favorite Band LP, which is saying a lot
Pat Callaghan retweeted
Released OTD 1975, 'Northern Lights, Southern Cross' by The Band.
I've loved this record since I bought it 35 years ago; 'Forbidden Fruit', 'Ophelia', 'Arcadian Driftwood' & the heartbreaking country soul of 'It Makes no Difference' are as 'peak Band' as the early stuff for me.

Super Sky Point to Jerry Koosman, who won 17 games with a 2.28 ERA for the 1969 Miracle Mets. Kooz went on to win 222 games over 19 years in the big leagues. He was a better pitcher than some guys in the HOF and if you want his rookie card? You’ll be digging deep in your wallet. #RIP

This 45-rpm record of Vaughn Meader pretending to be JFK on Christmas 1963 was said to be ready to ship on Nov. 25, 1963, which proved to be the day of JFK's funeral. Amid national mourning, it was suppressed.

Former Portland (Maine) mayor, former Maine Dem State Senator, and current Maine Democratic Socialists of America member Ethan Strimling predicts this week in the progressive/leftist Maine Beacon publication that Republican U.S. Senator Susan Collins wins re-election by 3 points.👀
