You’re incredibly smart….but sometimes I feel like I’m listening to a Catholic Mass in Latin in the early 60’s. It’s hard as fuck to understand. You might want to dumb it down, or risk your audience misinterpreting what you’re trying to say. Or in the words of Monty Python, "blessed are the cheesemakers????"

Which we all know you did, so stop dusting off the sand in my house and acting all surprised about "where did all this the sand came from???"…..whore.

Did it already get picked up for a second season? I’d be surprised. It was better than I expected, but I agree it was a Sex in the City knock off, which was how it was pitched, so I guess on that point they delivered. At the end of the day, I didn’t care about any of them, just like Sex in the City. Vapid NYC queens, behaving like vapid NYC queens. You just know in season 2 (if there is one) they will be trolloping off to a fabulous house on Fire Island, that in reality none of them could afford. Season 3 , P-town, which they will hate because it’s not NYC. Season 4 Rehoboth, which paradoxically they will love because it’s ”authentic"……yawn. This crap writes itself, and that’s not a good thing. Season 1: B- (mostly for André De Shields (A+), everyone else (C-).

Before getting the first shot, full stop since mid-May. 4 weeks after 1st shot, open to hiring others who are also 4 weeks out. 2nd shot, will still only be hiring others who are at least 4 weeks out from their 1st shot. It doesn’t make 100% sense, but it’s what I’m comfortable with.

Wow, thanks for this one. Just finished binge watching it. As a gay boy whose first “boyfriend” was a closeted bi-sexual jock, it really hit home. They did a great job depicting the tortuous love that exists in that complicated and wonderful world.

Kind of, sort of, not really,,,,,, https://www.npr.org/2022/07/31/1114759037/happy-birthday-george-jetson

I can’t help but wonder why people return to a well that has no water.

Ouch, tough crowd!

For the unwashed…..this is the man of whom Mr. Nicholas speaks: He was made to play Mozart. Combine that with his Stradivarius (the 'Gibson ex Huberman'), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Stradivarius and you have one of the greatest violinists of our time. Unfortunately, his shows in NYC are sold out, and I can’t even find them available on scalper sights. I’m sure it would be a delightful evening in NYC with Mr. Nicholas on your arm.

On the way in….."I’m here for a friend’s Birthday". On the way out…"I came to get the Monkey Pox vaccine!!!!" The boarder agent just stared at me and said “Are you serious"? I explained that I was at risk, and that the US was dropping the ball. She smiled, thanked me for protecting myself and others, and I was on my way home. Canada Rocks! On the way in, if you get the wrong boarder agent, they might block you. Why risk it?

Not a bad plan, given we have a limited supply at the moment, but it would be nice if we had a nation wide standard, instead of leaving it up to each state / locale to decide. The current system is all over the place and is leading to lots of confusion and frustration. Two things that you definitely want to minimize during an outbreak. Even within New York, NYC is following one playbook and other areas of the state are following different ones.

Incredibly intelligent response. You are obviously an extremely well educated man who understands, and perhaps even develops, many of the current public health policies being promoted. Sorry, I’m just an East Village punk who survived the 80’s. Get the shots into any fucker who says they’re at risk and is willing to stand still long enough to fucking get it. Analysis paralysis and mental masterbating by infectious disease specialists have already cost us 2 months. Let’s not even mention leaving over a million vaccine doses in a refrigerator in Denmark for months on end. And their idiotic initial attempt at "ring prophylaxis" was a day late, a dollar short, massively misunderstood the sexual behaviors of gay men, and a massive failure…..1982 anyone? You’re trying to hit a charging rhino with a single shot rifle at 1,000 feet (and your first several shots have already missed) and I’m trying to hit anything that moves with an AK-47. Honestly, I’m not sure which one of us is right, and neither are you. Just remember that in medicine better is often the opposite of good. Now, where the fuck is Larry Kramer when we need him?

"Proof of residency"??? "Proof of Prep"??? What the fuck is wrong with these public health "officials"??? It’s about getting as many shots into as many arms as we can ASAP. They’ve already fucked around and lost almost 2 months, while the disease continues to spread unabated. And it’s still a massive clusterfuck. Don’t even get me started on the idiocy surrounding trying to get your hands on "treatment" for severe cases……good fucking luck. It would be easier to smuggle the drugs out of North Korea than obtain them from the ”official" channels. Morons.

We’re fucked. And trying to talk about the economy without talking about politics is like trying to talk about male strip clubs, without talking about dicks. Although technically possible, it misses the point entirely.

Wait, they’re only giving Vaccine to people on Prep? You’ve got to be kidding. That’s insane. XXX. Moderator's note: political content redacted.

I politely disagree. The “client" needed to hire a mental health professional, not an escort. Only a fool doesn’t know the difference. Both have their places in our lives, but the two should never cross. As presented, what the client did was at the very least cruel and unusual. And yes, he bears the burden of responsibility for his reprehensible behavior. Unfortunately, that’s a novel concept in today’s world. And if he truly is so out of control that he didn’t realize what he was doing was wrong, then an evaluation by a crisis team is imperative and perhaps life saving. I’m of course going along with the pretense that he was in fact suicidal and not just a manipulative xunt. But to be honest, given the effort it took to write a shitty review the next day, of an innocent bystander, who apparently tried to help you, I’m leaning more towards manipulative xunt. Mental health is no laughing matter, but neither are psychopaths.

Wow, impressive article, I applaud the Blade and the author. It was balanced, restrained, non-judgmental and gave good realistic advice. My favorite line though…. "“Get the fuck out of here you old freak,” said a trans woman who was watching a group of 4 engaged in group sex near the children’s slide on the western side of the park." Brilliant shade.

Makes you wonder if the NYTimes is now going to rerun the obituary.

The minute you start lying in a relationship is the minute the relationship starts dying. I’m not talking about little white lies…."no, that shirt doesn’t make you look fat", I’m talking about big lies like "there’s no way I would ever fuck men for money". If a guy can’t handle the truth (and we’ve all got things we’d rather not disclose at the start of a relationship, but know that we should), then he’s not the one for you.

Yeah, you can’t expect them to actually check their sources, right? Oh wait….I forgot…..they’re supposed to be a newspaper….yes….yes, you can. No shit. “Integrity, my friend, is the shield to greed and vanity.” -Camino Del Rio

The New York Times was using a "Facebook post" as a source? Are you fucking kidding me? The "old grey lady", is in fact dead.

I can’t imagine a worse idea. Your 401(k) is no place for speculative investing. Not saying it’s a good or bad investment, but it certainly is speculative.

Not even. By the time you do the math on all the nickel and dimes they shake out of you during the booking process, it’s often cheaper to go with a slightly better airline. Unfortunately, there are no "great" airlines in America, so just stick with the ones that don’t "suck as much". That definitely means no Spirit and no Frontier Airlines.
