Rensselaer County officials have been charged with federal crimes. Boston police filed fraudulent overtime claims, but don’t worry: it was policy!

Donald Trump is being arraigned, but will anything come of it? Nicki Clyne has left Keith Raniere after 18 years of being involved with NXIVM. Twitter sucks; is it on purpose?

You wake up one day to find your girlfriend distant, cold, rebuffing your advances. She seems to have been lobotomized. It could happen to you–if your girlfriend is an AI. The war in Ukraine has made the Watervliet Arsenal a hot spot for hiring. Nursing homes are leaving their patients destitute, and cheap soap and scratchy tissues are robbing the elderly of their dignity. In brighter news, Democrats sympathize more with Palestinians than Israelis for the first time.

This week we’re asking how we can beat communist China if we aren’t vigorously milking our men? A literal bank run happened on the 16th largest bank in the country because everything old is new again! Slap fighting is making it big. Lt. Governor Randy McNally loves to use social media to encourage people and bring them joy. Especially if they have firm little butts. And two lonely little geese have found a second shot at love.

She stole our hearts last election, and now the queen is back: Marianne Williamson is running for president. Scott Adams is spinning out in spectacular fashion after his racist tirade. Florida is a literal trash fire and the Hudson is about to get a little more superfundy. Troy police killed a delivery driver on one of the most dangerous roads in the capital district. And a fungus among us may prove useful in replacing consumer plastics.
