And this is why we need investment in infrastructure. It's a miracle this isn't happening more often.  

But we need to lower taxes. But it's the governments fault. Um.....

Another line of thunderstorms moving in from the southwest. It's only 67F but the humidity is stifling. More like this tomorrow, and Saturday looks rainy and cool [50s]. Ugh. So much for a summery holiday weekend.

Ya think?

ATTENTION: Christine Quinn, Anthony Weiner, and anyone else running for mayor of NYC....we need affordable housing. As in affordable for the middle/working class, not the 1%.

It's official. We're a nation of paranoid, frightened, sheep. 

Good luck getting your freedoms back, after you've signed them away for "safety" from an exaggerated threat. Thanks, xenophobes, haters, and exploitative drama-queen news media. Ugh.

Good. It's outdated, and outclassed by Barclay Center in Brooklyn. Build a new one in a different location [like maybe back at Madison Square?], and rebuild Penn Station like it should be. Not that the travesty of tearing down the original Penn Station can ever be corrected.

So the LGBT community gets thrown under the bus to get GOP votes on a bill. 

Obviously, some things haven't changed.

An 11 hour work day is not what the doctor orders when you're not quite back to normal. But I'm feeling better. And there's a 3 1/2 day weekend coming.

Also...starting tomorrow, my office is officially casual dress for the summer!  :D

So this guy had the nerve to go shopping with his biracial children at Walmart in front of someone who just couldn't conceive of a white guy with 3 black children.   

So, they complained and Walmart took his address information off a check he cashed to send the police to check on him.

Then, these ass-covering racists at the Walmart wouldn't even admit that this 'issue' was all related to 4 people with different skin tones.

“The NYPD, however, can only do a certain amount to protect New Yorkers from violence. We’ll do everything that we can and we’ll prosecute, to the fullest extent of the law, anyone who commits hate crimes. But all of us can do our part as well to end hate crimes and spread tolerance: as parents, as teachers, as friends, and as members of the community.

“No person - regardless of what they look like or who they love - should ever walk down the street in fear." - NYC Mayor Bloomberg

And yet, on this same night, there was yet another hate-crime committed. WTF?

All the enablers [anti-LGBT hate groups, including those that hide behind religion...political figures...their media mouthpieces] are accountable for creating a climate where these things can happen and haters can feel proud of it. That applies for other targeted minorities as well.

May 20, 1570 – Cartographer Abraham Ortelius issues Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas ... Wikipedia - ""Theatre of the World") is considered to be the first true modern atlas. Written by Abraham Ortelius and originally printed on May 20, 1570, in Antwerp, it consisted of a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved. The Ortelius atlas is sometimes referred to as the summary of sixteenth-century cartography. ..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrum_Orbis_Terrarum

Excuse the reference to that other social network. For some reason, the +Human Rights Campaign has posted this there but not on its G+ page.  SM fail.

But if you're in NYC and, unlike me [ill], can make it to the Village....helping make for a large turnout would be great in focusing media attention and public awareness on the recent tragic events that are NOT representative of this great city [among the most progressive and LGBT friendly in the US].      #PridePlus

I'm disturbed by the rash of hate crimes against LGBT people, even in NYC. This article by +Michelangelo Signorile addresses that seeming contradiction in this time of increasingly prevalent legal equality.

No kidding. Some affordable housing for the other 99% please.

Really, Kim? Considering your personal history, THAT would be the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?

What say you? 

The idea of making people check their phone like a coat is silly. What do you do....frisk or x-ray people to make sure they don't have one?

Can people just not be selfish and obnoxious, please? And never mind "I forgot".... there are multiple announcements.

Why? Because, in addition to coupons for Outback Steakhouse and discounts on prescription refills, the retiree organization’s website has a page to provide “resources, news, and other topics of interest to older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, their family and friends.”

OMG! Grab your children and head for the hills!!
