Online shopping is supposed to be easy, but let’s be honest and admit that most of the time it’s more like expensive gambling with worse odds. Will it fit? Is it see-through? Does it have real pockets or those fake ones? Is it nice material or just thin and easily ...
At 0–6, things couldn’t be going much worse for the Jets. The record speaks for itself in all honesty. The story now isn’t about whether or not the team wins or loses anymore — it’s about how this team responds to adversity. Losing is frustrating and emotional. I’m sure we’ve ...
Governor Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency for New York City, Long Island and Westchester County ahead of a strong nor’easter expected to bring heavy rain, flooding and dangerous winds.

I’ll just say it: I’m tired of babying my phone battery like it’s some fragile little bird. What happened to the days when phones actually lasted? Back in 2005, I heard there were those Nokias that lived for days. Days. Apparently, you could leave it on the counter, forget about it for ...
