One of the main problems lies in how New York legislators designed the state’s now-depleted pandemic rent relief program. Public housing tenants were given the lowest priority of those eligible for assistance because legislators figured they had access to other safety nets. NYCHA residents still applied for at least $130 million worth of aid — but they received none.

This might rival the Pete Wells review of Guy Fieri’s place published a couple of years later. “They ate crisp artichokes offered as carciofi alla giudia. These tasted of shirt cardboard. They ate sawdusty chicken livers lashed with balsamic. They sipped at lentil soup familiar to anyone who owns a can opener…” Source: Review of […]

Joe Frank’s legacy isn’t in his specific approach to storytelling, or his aesthetic, or even his use of music. It’s in his approach to radio itself, the sense of radio not as a medium of mass communication, a place for traffic reports and newscasts, but rather as a site for artistic expression as fertile as […]

“As a result, the initial 17 AIDS burials, each with its own tiny concrete marker bearing a number, are perhaps the only individually marked graves among the estimated 1 million bodies interred on the island.” Source: Dead of AIDS and Forgotten in Potter’s Field – The New York Times

Hmm, I expected more from this story based on the headline. I thought they might narrate a real-world experience where someone called one of these suicide lines and recounted their experience. But then, unless they were able to find and interview people willing to talk about their experiences calling these lines that might be considered […]

This story showed up on my newsreader today, even though it appears to have been published two years ago. Well, sharing it anyway since it seems to align with what I always suspected about the organic movement, which according to this story is a phenomenon seen almost entirely in rich nations. I’ve never bought the […]

From this I learned that it appears the NYPD reserves a special section of the Holy Rood Cemetery in Westbury, L.I for its burials of dead babies abandoned in places like the trash can at Dutch Kills Playground a few months ago. That is… kind of interesting. I might have assumed they used Potter’s Field. […]

Messing around with Adobe Spark, because I can’t sleep again. Not very impressed but why would I be? Or maybe I shouldn’t be such a snob.

Interesting. My credit card was hijacked the other night, and I learned about it in a manner that sounds an awful lot like this scam. I guess that’s why the scammers take this approach, since it so closely resembles the legitimate way banks do it. An automated call to my old landline number told me […]

I never noticed how the letters R and A are conjoined in the Sports Illustrated logo. Was it always like that? I do not know and don’t think enough of it to research it. Rumors seem to be that the magazine will be sold to Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and someone I never […]

At first I thought wow, I never hear about this sort of thing happening in Astoria. Then I remembered that I hear about it all the time, but that it doesn’t get press attention because there is no connection to POTUS. But then what I hear about is people getting forced out of non-stabilized apartments. […]

I actually believed for a hot second that this was real, until I considered what a waste of real estate a swimming pool at a cemetery would be.

I have never been able to do this. As per the photographer’s instructions you should sit 2-3 feet from a monitor and gently cross your eyes. This will cause the two images to become three, and the middle one should be in 3D. I simply cannot cross my eyes, though I remember doing it as […]

Still thinking about this. Seems like the initial reportage was all wrong, and that the infant might have been in the trash can for days. So disgusting, not just the humanity of it but the fact that any sentient human could do something like this. Of course that is easy to say from a distance. […]
