Queens cops and community members honored a female police detective with a street renaming over the weekend for a woman who blazed a trail in the NYPD during the early 20th century. Detective Mary “Mae” Foley was more than just a part of the “Masher Squad” that took down men who abused women. She was a Nazi hunter who stopped fascist infiltrators before World War II, and was instrumental in the criminal investigation of notorious gangster Charles “Lucky” Luciano. But to her grandson, Bob Carr, she was just Nana. “She was a tough woman, you know, she didn’t take any guff,” Carr said. “She was a good grandmother, she really was. She was very loving.” While Carr grew up knowing her as the family matriarch, she was also a leader in a very different kind of family. She began her journey in the NYPD in 1923 and cuffed predatory men who assaulted women. She rose through the ranks, becoming a homicide detective and even took on Nazi sympathizers known as the German American Bund — an organization affiliated with Nazi Germany that sought to popularize Adolf Hitler in America before the US entered the war following the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.

Episode three was faster-paced and I enjoyed it a lot.

Bear terrorizes New Jersey Dollar General, bites 90-year-old woman before being shot A shocking encounter unfolded Tuesday afternoon when a black bear wandered through the aisles of a Dollar General store in Vernon, New Jersey, after biting a 90-year-old woman. The unusual sighting occurred around 4 p.m., when the wild animal was seen roaming the store’s aisles. It lunged at shoppers and pets, raising fears that the animal was sick, according to CBS News. In a video filmed by local real estate agent Sean F. Clarkin, the 175-pound female bear walks through the store as everyone looks on, terrified. Clarkin, who tried to guide the bear out of the store, could be heard nervously talking to the animal, “What’s up, buddy? You are one big, nasty motherf—-r.” As the bear approached him, Clarkin’s voice grew increasingly frantic, “Where the f–k is the door?” The bear had already bitten an elderly woman in the leg before Clarkin began filming. The woman was rushed to the hospital, and reports later confirmed the bear had also attacked a local’s dog. Despite efforts by police to corral the bear back into the woods using rubber bullets, the animal kept returning to the store, prompting authorities to make the decision to shoot it. In the video, Clarkin is heard urging the bear toward freedom, shouting “Freedom, buddy, freedom!” as the animal appeared unbothered by his commands. But moments later, as the bear’s demeanor shifted, Clarkin shouted, “Get away! Get the f–k away! Move!” The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Fish and Wildlife Division is now investigating the incident. Clarkin later posted a statement on social media, calling attention to the root cause of such encounters — unsecured dumpsters. “After years — decades — of the municipality allowing restaurant and business dumpsters to remain open and unsecured, we’re now witnessing the consequences,” he wrote. “When bears have easy access to human food, their population grows rapidly, leading to unnecessary annual hunts. If we reduce access to dumpster food, we’ll see a natural decline in bear populations and, in turn, less need for these hunts.” As officials continue their investigation, the unsettling incident highlights growing concerns over human-wildlife conflicts in suburban areas.

I think I remember you back then...

says the man who's been perving on him for years...

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic) today that catcher Will Smith had undergone additional scans following his placement on the injured list last week, and that testing revealed a hairline fracture in Smith’s injured hand. The news makes it “doubtful,” in Roberts’s words, that he’ll play again during the regular season this year. More concerning is that whether or not Smith will be available for the start of the playoffs remains “up in the air.”

So you joined this site to tell us scary stories & freak us out?

Sorry to pick nits, but there's a minor mistake in your post. It should read, "Like when you look at the treadmill or bike and your body just goes "Nope, not today."

Now if you'd care to explain what "Harry Potter" is...

which doesn't make it any clearer than mud.

Speak for yourself. I have no clue about whatever obscurity you are referring to.

I have caught up on the four episodes shown so far this season. I'm not finding it as funny as I did in the past but nobody is annoying me so I've enjoyed it well enough so far though I had to suppress projectile vomiting when Jane Lynch appeared for a few seconds in a flashback.

I watched the first two episodes (they drop weekly). I want to like it but it's sooooooooooo sloooooooooow

you mean there are people who DON'T use his monologues as an aphrodisiac?!?!? well, I'm a little embarrassed...

NO!

Large on-street garbage bins are set to be installed in hundreds of parking spaces across some of Brooklyn’s most densely populated neighborhoods over the next year, Mayor Eric Adams announced Tuesday. The rollout continues a pilot program that has over the last two years brought trash containers to streets in parts of Harlem. Residents in the area no longer pile their garbage up on sidewalks, but building supers instead toss their bags in the bins in a change city officials said has reduced rat populations by eliminating a key food source for pests. Sanitation officials said roughly 1,100 of the bins have been deployed in Upper Manhattan. Now, the city plans to add 1,500 more of them in Brooklyn’s Community Board 2, which includes neighborhoods like Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Fort Greene. Adams said schools in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill will get the bins as soon as this fall while sanitation officials conduct door-to-door outreach to plan the wider rollout. Officials said the use of the containers in the Brooklyn community board will be mandatory for residential buildings with more than 30 units once they’re installed next year. Landlords of buildings with 10 to 30 units can either request a container to be installed on their street or use city-sanctioned wheeled trash bins to put out their garbage. The “Empire Bins,” which are made in Spain, sit at the curb and are emptied by new $500,000-a-piece garbage trucks purchased by the sanitation department that are equipped with lifts. They can only be opened with special keys held by building supers or sanitation department crews.

https://www.aol.com/7-best-frozen-chicken-pot-140000722.html Best Frozen Chicken Pot Pies Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pie Chances are that while you’re reading this, there’s a Marie Callender’s chicken pot pie sitting in your freezer, waiting to be microwaved. Do it! This is the frozen pot pie that everyone points to as the closest thing to the real deal. The single-serve version is around 10 ounces, featuring a golden double crust that flakes when baked in the oven. Inside, there are chunks of white-meat chicken, peas, carrots, and diced potatoes all swimming in a creamy, salty gravy. The filling leans heavily on potatoes sometimes, but it’s still hearty enough to pass as dinner. Family-size versions stretch the same formula to over 40 ounces, though fans say the meat-to-gravy ratio can slip in the bigger pies. Stouffer’s Chicken Pot Pie Maybe Stouffer’s Chicken Pot Pie is the backup plan for when the freezer aisle is out of Marie Callender’s, but it’s still a solid backup. It’s a single-serve, 10-ounce pie with a double crust and the usual mix of chicken, peas, carrots, and potatoes in a creamy sauce. The crust can turn chewy instead of flaky, but there’s enough chicken to keep it from feeling skimpy, and the sauce is rich enough to make it filling.

I got it when somebody else posted it. ( @jeezopete ?)

https://www.aol.com/articles/publishers-clearing-house-bankruptcy-means-110005037.html Publishers Clearing House’s bankruptcy means ‘forever’ winners will no longer get paid For nearly 60 years, Publishers Clearing House had been known for changing individuals’ lives, fulfilling their dreams with prize money it promised would keep coming for as long as they lived. But now the company is in bankruptcy, and winners’ dreams have turned into nightmares. ARB Interactive, a mobile gaming company that bought PCH’s remaining assets, said that under the terms of the sales agreement it would not honor payouts for those who won their life-changing prizes before July 15th of this year. Some winners, who thought they’d never have to work again, are now finding themselves uncertain of how they’ll pay their bills “This feels like a nightmare. I thought this was going to go on for the rest of my life, so I didn’t really have to worry about money,” John Wyllie told CNN affiliate KGW. Wyllie, 61, of Bellingham, Washington, had been promised $5,000 a week for life. Now he’s looking for a new job, but he’s not hopeful, since he hasn’t worked for more than 10 years. He is currently living on the proceeds of sales of some of his prized possessions, like a jet ski and a trailer. But Wylie said he had no idea the company was even in trouble until his annual check for $260,000 didn’t show up, as expected, in January. “Why didn’t somebody give me a heads up? ‘Hey, we’re going out of business.’ It’s not a good way to treat anyone,” he said. “Pretty sure I’m going to lose my home.” The bankruptcy is not just upending the finances of people who had been promised continued riches; it’s eroding a part of America’s popular culture. Today, Publishers Clearing House and its prize money seem quaint in comparison to jackpots of more than $1 billion from Powerball and Mega Millions. But the PCH Prize Patrol with their balloons and oversized checks became almost universally known across the county from the 1970s through early 2000s, long before national lotteries and billion-dollar jackpots started grabbing headlines, feeding fantasies of riches. And unlike state lotteries, Publishers Clearing House allowed people to win without buying tickets or even the magazine subscriptions it was hawking. Publishers Clearing House was started by Harold and LuEsther Mertz and their daughter Joyce in the basement of their Long Island home in 1953, selling magazine subscriptions for multiple publications at the same time through direct mailings, according to its bankruptcy filing. PCH would be paid a commission on any subscriptions it sold. In 1967, to attract attention for its mailings, the company started offering its first direct mail sweepstakes. Customers could enter for a chance to win prizes, regardless of whether or not they purchased a magazine subscription.

Just scheduled a shot for Friday evening

It's just the mating ritual of Homo Erectus.

I thought this was gonna be one of those "last person to remain touching the car wins it" contests and I was wondering what the winner was gonna do with the ass once he (or she) won it.
