See your family. No matter how inconvenient it is to you or them. No matter if you're stuck eating Ramen and bologna for months to afford the airfare.

Reach out to your family. Even if it drives them batty. They won't always be around and some day you'll regret it.

What is this with people dying too young of cancer and not saying a word until they die? Why keep it private?

I've known nobody who has had terminal cancer. Someone tell me why. #Cancer #FuckCancer

@oldredsubby But the Seattle area makes the state blue. Those crazy red areas are under a blue thumb.

I live in a Blue area or a Red state. I do not recommend this.

I want to live in a Blue State.
Any Blue State will do.
From Presque Isle in Maine.
Out to Honolulu.
From Spokane Washington.
Out to Norfolk, VA.
Blue States love everyone.
Be it straight, trans, or gay!

A shame #NorthCarolina refuses to be a Blue State. #NCpol

Louder boo in the history of Nashville's Bridgestone Arena: Gary Bettman when the Pens won the Cup in 2017 over the Preds or Don Callis right now? #AEWDynamite #NHL #IsItOctoberYet
Is this app still relevant?

Mets: One person being in Not The Right Place - Edwin Diaz getting hurt in the WBC - derails things for Next Time.

NC Dems: One person being in Not The Right Place - Met fan Schumer telling Jeff Jackson to not run for Senate - derails things for Next Time.

The last year for the NC Dems and the Mets have parallels: Out of touch Boomer with a B first name loses the group and a ton of misfires end up forcing a youth movement after old hats fall flat.

Mets: Mid 2010s bright spot with the 2015 World Series run.

NC Dems: Mid 2010s bright spot with Roy Cooper's 2016 win.

Mets: Come SO CLOSE to getting the NL East in 2022 only to blow it in the end. The bones were there for a good run and a little work could push them further.

NC Dems: Cal Cunningham and their not pushing him to victory. Some work could've gotten them a legislature chamber if they tried.

Mets: Have a great 2006 (Adam Wainwright aside), only for 2007/2008 to sour the mood.

NC Dems: Have a great 2008 only for 2009/2010 to sour the mood.

There's even a Jerry M [Meek/Manuel] between the two!

Also, leaving Shea and losing the legislature are watershed moments.

Mets: Become the only piece of worth in the Wilpon portfolio after Bernie Madoff scams them of their money.

NC Dems: Are left near broke after Randy Voller's reign of error.

Sports and politics shouldn't mix, but there are striking parallels over the last 15 years between the New York Mets and the NC Democratic Party. A late 2000s success into trauma, a mid 2010s bright spot, an early 2020s heartbreak into greater failure. Time for a thread.
