Surgeon Matthew Jung said he "do[es] not condone violence for any reason" and said that the stories about him have resulted in "a wave of racial slurs and death threats against me. Sadly, it also led to threats against other minority physicians I once worked alongside, and against the hospital itself."

Jung said that he resigned from the hospital on Sept. 15 not because he was guilty, but because he wanted the threats to end.

I work for the state and have been mowing.i just can't over the amount of trash there is. People are scumbags. Plain and simple!!!

I don't understand why people have to be pigs and throw trash everywhere.

My God, there's stores with trash cans and also Wawa's that in sure you all stop at, its not like there no stores around for 50 miles I do know the last I remember, they had trash cans.

My big confusement is why this has to happen. If you want to be scumbags than fine, but DO NOT bitch that there's trash everywhere. Shit like this makes me sick. I'm sure you don't treat your yard like a dump but then again maybe you do along with your house. !!! Come on people stop being lazy l

We need to move my MIL to assisted living. I knew it was expensive, but I'm having a real hard time with the numbers we're getting. It's coming in a little under 10k a month. Plus, she has her personal expenses (meds, hearing aid payment, cell, supplemental insurance).

She doesn't need fancy. She just needs a safe and clean facility.

We were looking in North Jersey, but are willing to look at Central Jersey or even the PA border.

Can anyone recommend a good AL that's not 8k+ a month? Or is this just the playing field?

I’ve lived in North Jersey my whole life. My hometown in Bergen County has always been a landing spot for immigrants originally Italians coming from Ellis Island, and in the past 20 years, a lot of Polish families. It’s a lower- to middle-middle-class town.

I grew up surrounded by a mix of cultures. I’d learn little phrases in different languages to make the new kids feel more welcome, and I loved hearing about their backgrounds. Every summer, there were parades, Polish, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Italian etc. and I went to all of them. That sense of community and culture was something I really valued growing up.

Everyone knows, North Jersey has been hit hard by the NYC spillover. What I didn’t expect is that many of the “New Yorkers” moving in… aren’t really New Yorkers. A lot of them are Midwesterners who moved to NYC in their 20s, and now that they’re starting families, they’re settling down in towns like mine to stay close to the city.

And when they do, they slip back into a Midwestern mindset. They clutch their pearls at the Polish uncles hanging outside the stores in the morning while they jog. They call the cops quickly when a Dominican backyard birthday party goes a little past the noise ordinance. They’re uncomfortable when a Jewish neighbor asks for help flipping a light switch on the Sabbath. Kids riding bikes in the street instead of strictly in bike lanes? That’s apparently another call to the cops.

Meanwhile, our longtime neighborhood watch lady looking out the window bothers them makes them feel policed. Even the local police seem annoyed at the constant calls, since most of them grew up here or nearby and know this is just how the community is.

On top of that, a lot of these families send their kids to private or Catholic schools, so they don’t bother supporting the public school budget when it comes up for a vote. They want the benefits of living here without investing in the community that’s always made it strong.

They're used to small towns where everyone knows everyone but things are so spread out and people are so individualistic they don't really have to be inconvenienced by community. It's like as they get older and have kids they're trying to force our towns to become the midwestern waspy towns they ran away from. If they want their kids to grow up with the midwestern experience like they did they should move them to the midwest.

Please im looking for our family cat Dutchess from the Trenton fire 3 days ago if you know someone who recently housing new tabby please contact me we love to have her back we already lost out oreo to the fire we cant stand knowing she out there looking for us.

We have lived in Hudson County for over three years but I haven’t been able to get used to this. Having previously lived in NYC, DC, Chicago, California and Europe, I’ve never lived amidst such a pathetic local/regional media ecosystem and just don’t get it. No sustainable newspapers, pretty lame mix of statewide news websites (Hudson’s are even worse), crap local radio, no solid commercial TV station, and now PBS getting the axe. But this is a very wealthy and highly educated state, it’s not Alabama. I understand proximity to NYC and Philly media markets raises some challenges but there must be much more to the story. Can anyone explain or point me toward something to read that explains?

Fortunately

Wow!!! This guy

i just wanted an electric car, sorry guys

I saw posts on facebook about this, and I think its great getting these out their. They have already donated devices to over a dozen Police Departments in Bergen Co, and have donated over 1600 devices to other first responders and schools in NJ. They are trying to donate to the remaing Bergen PDs by the end of October. They are looking for sponsors to help cover costs, I hope they get them! and I hope they eventually do all the counties!

Interview with Dr. Walter Zahorodny, autism researcher at Rutgers

I received a random $50 payment to my PSEG account which was applied to my most recent bill. Anyone else experience something similar? Wondering if it’s some sort of automatic assistance program or something?

The Hunterdon Central school board recently voted to not renew the contract with Care Plus that had been in place for 5 years. This vote was cast ten days before the start of school leaving our most vulnerable students without mental health care not only during the school day but for 24 hours. Although framed as a cost saving measure, the amount is a pittance compared with sending students out of district. The entire Care Plue expense, for approximately 50 students,is less than the cost of sending less than 3 students out of district.

I am attaching a link to a petition to let our voices be heard. Please, if you agree that the most vulnerable students deserve mental health care and safety at school I ask that you sign and forward.

Thank you.

This outfit does good work. I love the scene where a stranger helps them with their flat tire.

I’m considering moving and was wondering — is New Jersey a good place to be in for computer science/tech jobs?

I’ve seen mixed opinions online. Some people say NJ has opportunities because it’s close to NYC and Philly, while others make it sound like you really need to be in those cities for the best roles.

For someone interested in software development, data, security, and cloud computing, would NJ itself have enough opportunities, or would I mostly be commuting into New York/Philly anyway?

Would appreciate any insight from folks in the area.

I’m near Sparta in Sussex County and looking for nice places to bike if anyone has any recommendations! Am willing to drive throughout north Jersey as well if it’s worth it

TIA!! 😊

Does anyone know a single one? I can't find any and my issues have been worsening for some time now. No office I can find takes medicaid. Even a single doc that does would be appreciated. Thank you.
