Ah, I didn’t see the thing about the letter about Lindey Boylan. That’s an additional reason that Andrew is a slimeball, and if Chris advised him to do that then sure he’s culpable too. ---

He sent all us New York(state)ers an email. (All? Can’t be. Must be just those of us who signed a petition or something at some point and thereby got on the gummint email list.)

> [@Kimstu](#): > > New York’s future is based on what we have accomplished together, and during my tenure we’ve shown that New York has a spirit that reaches for the skies. I’m sorry but “reach for the skies” is another way of saying “surrender”. It’s what you do after tossing down your weapon as you’re being captured by the enemy. I get what Andy is trying to say but his phrasing is really poor, ---

Even though Cuomo is gone, the fallout continues. The President and CEO of Time’s Up, Tina Tchen, resigned today after reporting showed she was more involved than previously known in consulting with Cuomo’s office over initial allegations of sexual harassments. Particularly, she directed Time’s Up staff to “stand down” from releasing a public statement supporting Cuomo’s first accuser after their board chair had conversations with his advisers ---

Y’know, when it’s time to leave, _leave_. Especially if you had talked a big game about being a “fighter” but came realize there’s no hope. > [@Atamasama](#): > > I’m sorry but “reach for the skies” is another way of saying “surrender” > I get what Andy is trying to say but his phrasing is really poor “Reach for the sky (singular)” is the usual American form of the expression for “hands up!” “Reach for the _stars_” is the expression for trying for greater achievement.

[\> Chris Cuomo now accused of sexual misconduct](https://www.mediaite.com/news/chris-cuomos-former-boss-accuses-him-of-grabbing-her-butt-offering-bizarre-email-apology-afterwards/). Odd story that involves him apologizing the next day in an email. It was his former boss and she said it was about power and not sexual harassment. Where does this fall in the court of public opinion?. I would think an immediate apology helps him with forgiveness but it also opens the door for more women to come forward if such exist. . ---

He apologized to her in an email which is a paper trail and he did it immediately so he knew he did something wrong. I would think this is sufficient to get him off the hook. ---
