This is a ghoulish response to someone being diagnosed with cancer. Maybe take a beat and be an actual human about it? May you have the day you deserve.

They’ve done that a lot this season. Hard to avoid the iPad.

I have two sons. My advice to them, “Don’t be a dick.” When they are a dick, I call them on it. And that seems to have worked.

There used to be a salon in Westchester called "Whoomp! Hair It Is." Always a favorite of mine.

He calls himself a "Market Wizard." That should tell you all you need to know. What foolishness.

I have a kid that is a double major in both the Film school and the Business school (finance) at his university. We were just discussing how wild the political swing is between both departments.

That Ciattarelli has basically said he’s afraid of people using their preferred pronouns is just embarrassing. How about we let NJ citizens live and let live? And we focus on the quality of life for all people.

That Jack Ciattarelli announced his race by saying he’s afraid of pronouns and aligning with Trump is an embarrassment. How about we let people live their lives and mind our own business.

It looks like they are bowing. What a cutie.

The Trump voters I know still wouldn't admit they are hurting, because they would never want to admit to someone who voted against Trump that he's a failed leader. They will turn themselves into pretzels defending him or blaming someone else for sabotaging him. Delusional.

I still dream about the breakfast burritos in San Diego.

It's the roll/bagel. They aren't the same outside the Northeast or Tri-State area.

Worse, the kids of old users are just recently in these jobs. All the conspiracy, none of the historical knowledge. A poisonous combo.

And despite the US government shouldn't be run like a business. It's not a for-profit entity. That whole premise of “we need a good business person to fix what ails us" is flawed in my opinion.

He's always had the grift, and in modern day America that is enough when you're born into wealth and know how to fool the gullible.

Trump is very familiar with this tactic. It's how he does business on the regular. He's been sued by numerous contractors in the past for breach of contract and failure to pay.

As the parent of a kid with life-threatening food allergies, this is the one I feared the most. What a nightmare. I'll be in the backyard sewing my own wheat to mill for flour like a modern day Henny Penny. Christ on the cross, someone stop this fucking insanity.

Meanwhile, anyone with a LinkedIn account can see folks out of work for 6 months to a year + with serious resumes and experience. How exactly does the AI conduit even get a foot in the door, let alone an ability to problem-solve?

So when things go sideways and this person can't think for themselves because they lack problem-solving skills what happens? You can't fake it to you make it if you never had the chops and don't do the hard work.

We're going back to the Gordon Gekko version of New York. These vapid simpletons need to pick up a book and realize how badly that turned out for people.

Information and facts does not equal wisdom. It doesn't teach critical thinking or even problem-solving. It's really a passive activity asking a third party to do the hard work for you. We're seeing how toxic the leaders of these companies are (Elon, Zuck). Why would I trust their product?

For books, Bookshop.org. Amazing service and the folks over there are the best. They work with independent bookstores and just added ebooks so it's full service. Also, your local library. They could use all the support they can get, and librarians are low-key patriots and freedom fighters.

Underwhelmed. I think that sums it up nicely.

I completely agree. Subscription fatigue is at it's max and Substack also has a Nazi problem that they don't deal with by hiding behind the “we're just a platform” nonsense. Problem being, they make money off of these Nazi degenerates.
