We are going to say goodbye to @FrisketOfNYC Monday evening, perhaps fittingly after the eclipse. She's fading rapidly as the cancer spreads
I’ve never been eligible for UI benefits due to various various Schroedinger’s Cat–5 terminations of employment over the years, so I’m just wondering why it isn’t major news that NY State is taking its unemployment insurance system completely offline for 9–12 days … – at Manhattan, NY
It's disappointing how remarkably calm people are about the Administration starting an illegal war that managed to destroy our bases in the Middle East, piss off our allies, increase the costs of fuel all around the world and kick off an inflationary spiral, …
