The New York Rangers organization mourns the loss of Ron Duguay, one of the most popular players in franchise history. Ron's signature skating style - with his hair flowing as he moved down the ice - captivated The Garden Faithful, and his skill, tenacity, and charisma earned him the admiration of all New Yorkers. We join the hockey community in sending our condolences to Ron's friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Big mistake. Huge.
Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out 👎
Demonstrating (yet again…and again…and again…) that contextualizing data is really important.

A couple of thoughts on train etiquette. Keep your voice down. Please. And for the love of all that is holy, do not, under ANY circumstances, put your phone call on speaker. 🙄
@NJTRANSIT quiet cars on every train would be very helpful. Please and thank you.

#BREAKING: Psaki: “Last night, a local TV news station in Florida broke a story that just absolutely floored me. CBS News Miami obtained a sealed grand jury report…that detailed how Florida governor Ron Desantis’ administration allegedly diverted $10 million from a settlement that was supposed to give poor kids healthcare, and directed that money through a non profit affiliated with the governor’s wife, and then into political action committees aligned with Desantis himself, as well as to the Florida Republican Party, and then somehow a bunch of the people involved in making that happen, all wind up getting huge promotions from Governor Desantis.” 🙄
