It’s hilarious on so many levels.
Piquant details galore: look at her pseudo-modest posture. The red dress. The wing armchair. The Russian bear the hero has mastered. The toga. The bull. The painting style of a country-fair matryoshkas. And the cries of foul by the enraged socialists. I love it.

The proof of vaccine to enter requirement, dubbed the Key to NYC, will apply to indoor restaurants, bars, museums and movie theaters, but not to places such as office buildings, community and senior centers as well as outdoor dining areas.
On Sept. 13, the city will begin issuing fines — $1,000 for a first offense and $2,000 for a second — to indoor businesses that fail to ensure their venues are off limits to those who remain unvaccinated.

is immeasurably inadequate. Think about this:
Last year, Governor Andrew Cuomo enacted “Matilda’s (after his mother) Law,” a protective order for all New York state citizens over the age of 70, who are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus.
[…] She (Maria Cuomo, sister) was the executive producer of 2012’s The Invisible War, a documentary about sexual assault in the US military that won a Peabody, an Emmy, and was nominated for an Oscar.
[…]The governor of New York was married to Kerry Kennedy, the seventh child of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, for 15 years, from 1990 to 2005 (the tabloids dubbed the union “Cuomolot”) [And now we know why it took so long to get rid of him]
[…]Cara’s twin sister, Mariah (2 of his 3 daughters), attended Brown University where she majored in history and wrote for the college newspaper. She is an associate at Teneo, a global communications and advisory firm.[Where did I hear the name of this firm, fairly recently? Ah! “The boss of PR firm Teneo has today resigned as chairman and chief executive after claims of drunken misconduct at a star-studded fundraising concert.[…]The Financial Times reported that Kelly behaved inappropriately at a party linked to the concert. This behaviour is said to have included the non-consensual touching of women.”] Make of it what you will...
Quotes from a sycophantic (of course) article at Town&Country. However they try to spin it, it’s over for Cuomo.
At least for now.
PS.

[из коммента elsewhere]
когда у меня был дом*, задний двор и терраса над ним, то я таки обычно сушила бельё на этой террасе.
сушилкой пользовалась только в дождливую погоду.
не потому, чтоб сэкономить, а просто на воздухе высушенное бельё пахнет так…так пахнет.. хорошо пахнет, короче.
кондо и коопы в нй, к глубочайшему сожалению, не внемлют опасностям глобалворминга. запрешшшают членам и жителям верёвочки вешать. сушите, говорят, искл-но в моцных коммерческих сушилках, что мы для вашего же блага накупили.
что не мешает тем же кооп-бордз поминать тот же глобалворминг как причину требования разделять бытовой мусор на 3 ведра…парадокс!

Cindy Adams at NY Post, today:
Gin may be the perfect tonic to watch the Oscars — about whom who cares? — which will broadcast from “multiple locations.” Means whoever has the largest bookcase to pose in front of plus the smallest nostrils for a Zoom to stick up in will get to announce films nobody went to any theater to see. It will be late April — in time for Fauci’s next announcement.

And that’s how they operate. Alien mentality. Healthy, normal person could never imagine this thought process. if that’s what it is.
Need I say that as of this moment 600 (six. hundred.) have bought tickets for this “tour”?

Go away. Hit the road, Jack. Скатертью дорожка.
That’s what I want to say to the rapidly-diminishing 2020.
I have seen enough inertia, ostrich-like indifference, inept mumbling, downright treason and duplicity from people I considered friends and political allies to last me another 5yrs – and very little, but by rarity even more shining examples of support, open-heart generosity, kindness. I will always remember your help – Adam, Cat, Stuart, Jessie, Tony (actually, three Tonies), “Fiona”, Lucie and Julien. Thank you. You made that awful year a bit more bearable.
Here’s to a new and improved 2021! Don’t want to place too much hope in things getting better – in fact, I’ve seen commenters wonder: were people at New Year Eve of 1914 believed, aloud, in a better 1915? They might be right. Still, the future is uncertain, and there is still a small probability of a better tomorrow.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Early voting in NY started 2 days ago; I skipped the weekend, the idea was to come on a weekday but before the official Nov 3rd election, to avoid the lines.

Обещанного вам пришлось ждать больше недели, даже не припомню точно сколько. Дни, потому что, сливаются в одно длинное неразличимое существование, понедельник – с предыдущей пятницей, а та – с нынешним воскресеньем.
Ну вот, прогулялась до набережной, там прошла от мостика до пирса (3 мили), и обратно. Старалась разнообразить маршрут, чтоб показать вам разные улицы и домики – скромные типовые, красно-кирпичные, и штучные mini-mansions с коваными решётками и облицованными камнем террасами вдоль парка набережной.

Узнавши на ЛинкдИн-е о закрытии Century21 , всполошилась и побежала смотреть на их сайт – а ну чего скажут? Сайт молчит, о банкротстве ни гугу*, о том когда магазины закрывают – тоже.
Что же это, бабоньки, завыл внутренний шопоголик. После безвременной смерти Daffy’s Century21 был последней оставававшейся сетью относительно приличной, в т.ч., европейской одежды и ассесуаров по вменяемым ценам.

Стою вчера в аптеке, вторая в очереди к фармакологу. За мной, за 6 футов, покупатель – тоже без маски. Остальные в аптеке, включая бедных подневольных продавцов и кассиров – в намордниках.
“You, me, and Nancy Pelosi!” – говорит он, и мы оба радостно хохочем, как два конспиратора

Прошу рекомендацию.
Куплен новый лаптоп (конкретно: Lenovo ThinkPad), и мне нужно
а) почистить старый, 9-летний, от всякой налипшей дряни
б) save всё нужное на external WD memory
в) перегрузить с memory в новый лаптоп, и вообще всячески подготовить его к трудовой деятельности.
Ищу специалиста, кот. всё это умеет и делал не раз.
Географически я в Бруклине, машины нет, идеальный вариант – проделать все эти манипуляции у меня дома.
Спасибо!
