>According to the report’s data, 64% of those assaults were committed by black persons, 17% by Muslims or Arabs, 11% by Hispanics and 3% by white persons.

There, I saved everybody a click.

Tinkers. Tinkling with the law is something different.

The last time New York was proud of its government was the early Sixties. Things started going to hell under John Lindsay.

> Out of 152 hospitals in the state, patients scored Maimonides the worst in multiple categories, including “patient’s room and bathroom always kept clean,” “patients always got help as soon as they wanted,” “nurses always communicated well” and “staff always explained about medicines.” Also, patients are more likely to have complications like bloodstream and antibiotic-resistant staph infections than at an average hospital, according to the federal Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which gave the facility two out of five stars.

Fuuuuuuck this place. Nothing but bad experiences here over the years.

And you can catch it more than once in a lifetime.

Nineties kid here. I was wondering when the Nineties nostalgia was going to start.

It was good enough. I would like to know what happens next, but I feel that way after pretty much every book I read and movie or show I watch. Each season has a reasonably satisfactory conclusion that you’re not left with an itch in your brain, at least.

This reminds me of the time I tried and failed to learn cursive, back in 1990. I told my teacher Mrs Stupidhead (possibly not her real name but who knows anymore) that in the future we would all be typing everything onto computers and that computers would talk to each other and that computers would allow us to save anything we wanted to write, like very advanced notebooks, and that’s why I should not have to waste my time learning cursive.

I’ve prayed in the original Garment Center Congregation. It was incredible, a living piece of New York City history. I was saddened when they tore it down, although it was obviously necessary. I hope they can reopen soon.

The last majority white working class neighborhoods.
