Most Voters Think America’s Divisions Cannot Be Overcome, Poll Says

The @nytimes.com article headline about recent survey on #polarization has the pessimistic take that our divisions can't be overcome to solve the nation's problems.

Some silver lining - there's some bipartisan agreement that our divisions are a serious problem.

The feeling when...you learn that one of our dinner companions is also a #RedSox fan, and eager to move up our dinner reservation to get back for first pitch!

Wow, clutch!

That was some aggressive base running! #RedSox

That is frustrating! Last time that happened I wound up subscribing…was also interested in checking out Ted Lasso, the Sox being shown there gave me the nudge.

Great game tonight! Nice way to punch their ticket to the playoffs! #ResSox

Oh yeah, that’s some good baseball! #RedSox

I like being in the mode of checking the MLB scoreboard last week of the season, as a #RedSox fan! Been a few years...

Oh yes, speaking of checking, I see the Astros got a W so Sox need to win to make this #ClinchDay.

Yes! When they've had their good streaks, lots of production from those bats.

Wow! That was an impressive outing by Whitlock. Made retiring the heart of the Jay's order look easy. #RedSox

Let's hope so! Just tuning in mid game here tonight. Seems like he's been quiet.

What an impressive (and timely) blast! #RedSox

Actually the streak ended later in the game.

Trevor Story running from 2nd, shortly after getting his 31st consecutive steal without getting caught. One for the record book i believe! #RedSox

It's been a tough stretch! A bit surprised Duran isn't a bit higher. Although I might be thinking of some of his late August hits, such as the insider the park HR.

"The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in politics without fear of violence. To lose that is to risk losing everything. Charlie Kirk — and his family — just lost everything. As a country, we came a step closer to losing everything, too... We are all safe, or none of us are."

They should show this clip to teach kids how to run the bases! Rounding the bases right, accelerating when he hits each bag! #RedSox #baseball

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy.

Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself.

Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

Abandoning the mRNA vaccine platform is a failure of leadership - The Boston Globe The retreat signals that the federal government is capricious and weak and easily persuaded by misinformation.
