Francesca Walsh, 28, is in the last six months of earning her Ph.D. in neuroscience and behavior. She wants to study how the brain functions when making economic decisions, in an effort to protect economic markets and consumers from financial harm. The postdoctoral jobs she planned to apply for have suddenly disappeared. “I felt the door of an entire sector of jobs, including federal research jobs, slam overnight,” she said. “It’s very disheartening, and sometimes I wish I just became an accountant.”

The Instagram video was posted by Joseph Gannascoli, an actor best known for playing New Jersey mobster Vito Spatafore on HBO series “The Sopranos.” Gannascoli told the Daily News on Friday he couldn’t recall whether Adams specified which socialist groups he believes are to blame for the bill. He said that’s in part because he attended the event to give Adams and Caban a bottle each of a vodka he works as a brand ambassador for. “I can hardly remember, tell you the truth. It was a rough night. My vodka, Russian NYPD, lots of na zdorovie. Get my drift?” he said, using the Russian phrase for “cheers.”

excerpt from Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler 1993) EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Sunday, July 21, 2024 [...] We got up early this morning because we had to go across town to church. Most Sundays, Dad holds church services in our front rooms. He’s a Baptist minister, and even though not all of the people who live within our neighborhood walls are Baptists, those who feel the need to go to church are glad to come to us. That way they don’t have to risk going outside where things are so dangerous and crazy. It’s bad enough that some people—my father for one—have to go out to work at least once a week. None of us goes out to school any more. Adults get nervous about kids going outside. But today was special. For today, my father made arrangements with another minister—a friend of his who still had a real church building with a real baptistery. Dad once had a church just a few blocks outside our wall.

image of text from article: Another staffer said it did not occur to her superiors that some constituents would have personal ties to Gaza, which she realized when a caller said the bombardment had just killed most of his friend’s family. “The statement we’re authorized to use doesn’t contain any sympathy,” the staffer said. “It isn’t part of any statement to say, I’m so sorry that happened to you.” She went off script to tell the caller she was sorry.
