Sitting in the infusion room just once with my dad was enough, and I truly hope we are through this chapter soon...but DAMN they have good recliners there.

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

New ‘Jackass’ Trailer Shows Aging Johnny Knoxville Trying To Climb Staircase Without Handrail

We don't talk enough about how BONKERS the Amtrak Northeast Corridor route is if you don't already know the region. THREE Penn Stations. Possible TWO cities named Newark (but pronounced differently!) And of course, the Newark/New York confusion.

Does someone has @jakeephros.bsky.social email on the property tax increase available to share as a link? It was incredible. It calls itself a statement but it's really a poli sci lesson in action, with attention to the real human costs

My 9yo said they watched a movie today but the teacher also had the Knicks event on her laptop bc some kid kept trying to change the movie to the parade 🤣

If you've been outraged by the story of Jersey City police arresting a mother at a Board of Ed meeting, PLEASE support & share the GoFundMe. Navigating all of this while being a working mom is CHALLENGING and there are some specific needs we can ease. www.gofundme.com/f/support-em...

Mamdani’s New York is having the kind of run that you normally only see in a montage at the end of a Disney Channel movie

This is so weirdly cool.

It is extremely depressing to picture my dad watching the Knicks tonight from his hospital bed, unable to enjoy any game time snacks. Though also - glad he has something to break up the monotony.

There's a point where you go from saying "my loved one is in the hospital!" With an exclamation point, to say it with a simple period, and that change really sucks.

How do car recalls start? Because our Honda Crosstour is not covered in this recall related to premature rust but it is 100% the same issue we have! www.caranddriver.com/news/a715494...

The directive from Bari Weiss to make the protesters killed by ICE look “more violent” came after Scott Pelley voluntarily had already gone to great pains to make them look violent in the first place:

Police arrested William Krywos after his neighbors reviewed security footage and called police.

Legitimately heart broken to hear this.

Two loved ones have been arrested in the last 2 weeks in NJ, at two different protests. I keep coming back to the cost. Taxpayers pay for the wrongs our government commits, we pay for the "criminal justice" system to arrest & charge them, then we often pay a legal settlement. Absolutely bonkers.

Reading the World Cup stadium rules and wow, these writers really are covering all their bases. And you know that if they have to explicitly ban it, there's BEEN an issue before. I'm curious about the ban on "significant quantities of paper or any rolls of paper" and what amount is "significant"

Individuals in my community has been collecting items for this mutual aid tent for the last year. This is just so heartless and inhumane.

"Well I'm GONNA live here for the next 75 years and I want to get around my neighborhood safely!"

Listen though, only 14% of Republicans think it's a very big problem - but 31% think our government does too little and 54% support US/intl efforts. To me it sounds like a large group of Republicans who are saying "do something even if I don't think it's a major problem." So let's do that!

If you've ever wanted to bring a meal train to someone you care about but don't live near- may I suggest coordinating a prepared food delivery for them from their grocery store? Gift cards are nice but sending over a few sides and entrees they can mix and match takes some of the mental weight off!

It is extremely unfair that my phone and inbox have lived through the infinite 2025 Jersey City mayoral campaign AND NOW the NJ-7 primary. It's just too many messages and ads for one person. TOO MANY.

Rep McIver is out at the scene of last year's improperly arrest, in the rain, pregnant, to make sure these voices are heard. My biggest downside of my family's recent move is that I am no longer her constituent. But still an admirer!

"Children and families in Jersey City deserve so much better than a school district that arrests mothers for speaking out instead of listening and improving special education"

The JC BoE should be ashamed of themselves, every day. And I am exceptionally proud of my friend. jcitytimes.com/parent-of-sp...

I highly recommend being in Manhattan on college graduation days. Seeing graduates commuting in gowns, proud families beside them, stopping for photo sessions...it's really good for the soul.

Every year my husband takes my son to the thrift store and lets him pick whatever he thinks I need for Mother’s Day, which this year is a straw hat and book of sea shanties

My 5yo, watching Netflix's Hot Wheels show: Mom, the music in this is so good! And it's by a man from a REAL BAND. I really don't like to gate keep music, but hard to handle my kid talking to me about Patrick Stump like I didn't see Fall Out Boy before they ever even made the charts....

Your annual reminder that teacher appreciation week and nurse appreciation week are the same week. And both are immediately followed by Mother’s Day. It would be nice if we celebrated care work more than one single week in May.

I know my dad was the one who filled out the paperwork authorizing me as medical a point of contact - and not me or me doing it - because all the providers call me Meg.

What's a gift a patient's family can bring to the nurses to honor their excellent care during #nursesweek that they'll actually enjoy? Hoping dad is discharged today and that we never seen this incredible group of excellent caregivers ever again.

My dad has spent 18 of the last 30 days in the hospital- first for a planned gastrectomy then two visits back for issues post surgery. He is hopefully going home today along with partial IV nutrition my mom will be helping him with. We need this to go smoothly. Really, really need it.

Twice in the last month, vendors have thanked me for my patience and understanding when they experienced issues and then granted me a reward (credit, reward points) for it. I'm not saying be nice to try to get free stuff. But clearly - people notice consideration, and it matters to them.

“I’ve had them ask me, ‘Are you my grandma?’” she said. “And I’ll say, ‘I can be your school grandma.’ It’s such a privilege to know them and to be known by them.”😭 hechingerreport.org/tapping-reti...

"The program has grown more expensive because of its success...Gunderson said more teachers have enrolled in the program, stayed in their positions and gone back to school..., with the goal of being able to earn a higher income upon graduation. " www.the74million.org/zero2eight/p...

Woke up with a cold today, wonder which of the 3 hospital wings I've spent time visiting recently is responsible for it. 🤣😭🤣😭

LOL, 4 days later, Family Member 1 went to ER. I very nearly could not go in with them because I didn't have ID - came directly from a run when I go the call. I get the security concerns. But this is the EMERGENCY room. Surely, people often come here who didn't have a lot of advance planning!

I signed up for USPS mail forwarding one month ago and have received NO MAIL forwarded from our old address. That feels fine.

I think it's good that when someone wants bariatric surgery, there's mental health assessment and support for the patient. I think it's also absurd the same isn't baked into the process of having your whole damn stomach removed to save your life.

Remind me why places want to host the World Cup? This is a nightmare for transit in the region. abc7ny.com/post/nj-tran...

I've attended two different family members in two different hospitals this week and I would very much like to not add any more.

Now, you might say, "What about all the knowledge we'd lose if we push all the abusive geniuses out of academia?!" But I'd counter and say, "Well, what about the knowledge we've already lost from the budding scholars whose careers they've derailed with their abuse?"

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Oh wow I keep just crying with the rocket launch coverage. Every new commentator they have on makes me cry again. What a thing to share.

Two weeks ago we moved our family after a prolonged and stressful sale and purchase. One week ago I traveled for a work presentation. Tomorrow is my kid's birthday, next week is a loved ones cancer surgery, the following week I travel to run a conference where I present. I am struggling.

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents

Someone help me out here- what was Fulop's plan if he had won the Governors race and this complete disaster of his making was found while he was sitting in Trenton?

I'm running 10 miles May to fundraise for @childrensphila.bsky.social and would be so grateful for your support! CHOP does absolutely incredible work not just in this region for but families who come from all over for specialized care. chop.donordrive.com/participants...

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE
