120 days. Additionally, please host both in-person and online public hearings that are publicized widely and well in advance of the dates. The risks of rushing this process, as the current timeline would do, are too great to not allow the concerns of New Yorkers to be adequately heard. Thank you.

NYS people, NYPIRG has a call for comment on an issue important to the issue of data centers in NYS. The public comment window has been truncated, and we need to ask the DPS to extend it and hold public meetings about the issue. Here's the link:

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Absolutely. The iceberg analogy is trite but unfortunately true: The number of assaults reported is so miniscule compared to the number of assaults that actually take place. The system perpetuates under-reporting because it rewards the r*pist and punishes the victim.

I still remember that poor girl the first week of school who was repeatedly assaulted by a string of frat boys from that house with the cannon on the lawn--I'm sure you remember too. She left school, the charges went away, and those boys went merrily on with their lives.

Found a gravestone that definitely contains a trapped soul, and which comes to life at midnight in order to dispense grave warnings to anyone foolish enough to pass by at such a late hour.

The Buffalo Bills announced that they will play both the American and Canadian national anthem for the first time at the Highmark Stadium opener. They're definitely making a push to expand their fanbase in southern Ontario, and this shows unity as a border city. The Sabres have always done this.

Friendly Neighborhood Mouse @missmouse.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.
