Buffalo Newspaper Guild statement There’s no way around it: Friday’s news that The Buffalo News will no longer print a Monday edition and will shift to six-days-a-week print, effective Nov. 3, was difficult to hear. It is sad, but …

We have posted the statement here: buffaloguild.org/2025/10/03/b...

Here’s our statement on today’s @buffalonews.com announcement:

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

TRUMP CANCELS NEARLY 8B IN CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS INCLUDING MILLIONS IN NY REPUBLICANS' DISTRICTS $26,236,446 cancelled for NY-17 • INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION • URBAN ELECTRIC POWER INCORPORATED $27,000,000 cancelled for NY-23 • JAMESTOWN BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES • CLEANFIBER INC. Source: Appropriations Committee These are jobs. These are investments in lowering your energy bills. Trump just cancelled them.

Trump just cancelled $8B of energy projects to pressure Democrats to let him jack up health care costs.

And he didn't just cancel projects in Dem districts; he canceled them in R districts too. The difference is that Republicans are letting him use their constituents as pawns.

So you understand the psychology, and you're not willing to set aside your bias and defensiveness to find some mutual ground?

If a whole demographic of your *FREE* volunteer moderation community is giving you negative feedback, why aren't you staying open to solutions?

And that's off the top of my head.

Is every post "against you" going to be taken as harassment? Just curious.

You know people who *aren't* "harassing" you are seeing your behavior, too?

Release the jobs report. And while you’re at it, release the Epstein files.

just make it exist first
you can make it pug later

an orange cat is on the floor on a towel with all his paws curled up. He isn’t screaming. But if he was, this wouldn’t affect you if you mute when you aren’t talking

If you politely mute when you aren't talking, it doesn't even matter if someone is scream meowing in the background of your zoom

The crazy thing is that we want affordable healthcare for them, too.

You can’t find the right candidate cause you won’t put the fuck ass AI down long enough to actually take the time to read a resume and REQUIRED cover letter written by a real person. You can’t find the right candidate cause you value efficiency over quality

You can’t find the right candidate cause you keeps advertising that job as remote knowing damn well you require all candidates to live down the street and now you’ve declined half the list of amazing people cause your dumb ass don’t know how words work

You can’t find the right candidate cause the right candidate for you is a slave. You want a slave. You need a bitch born yesterday with two decades of experience and you need them today and you are going to keep lowering the wage and adding bullet points to the role until you find it

You can’t find the right candidate cause the right candidate probably had a non traditional name and the idea of asking them how to pronounce it during the interview made you uncomfortable and embarrassed so you skipped for the sake of your own discomfort

You can’t find the right candidate cause you’re busy asking how they deal with imposter syndrome when bitch YOU ARE the imposter. You’re the one that can’t find the right candidate with all the info sitting right in your face. YOU the one that can’t fill the role. How are you dealing with that?

You can’t find the right candidate cause you’ve got Bobby and Billy from marketing and accounting holding the round 2 interview for an interviewee in IT. They don’t know why tf they there. The candidate don’t know why tf they there everybody time being played with. Now you don’t look serious

You can’t find the right candidate cause that job opening never made it to the internal teams slack channel where the best people already informed on the company’s culture could apply but was instead sneakily posted on the recruiters personal LinkedIn page only for people following her to see

You can’t find the right candidate cause instead of coming to the interview informed on the candidate you showed up 15 mins late just to start off with the basic ass question of “tell me about yourself” and repeating the same bogus ass scenario questions they already answered on the application

You can’t find the right candidate cause instead of focusing on resume, skills, experience you’re more concerned about having your ego stroked and being entertained or connected to the interviewee’s backstory, personality and other shit that’s got nothing to do with the role

You can’t find the right candidate cause you’ve combined a whole team of roles into one job position for one measly ass entry level salary and expect a person with the level of experience you desire to do that job to also be naive and desperate enough to accept your slave labor ass role.

You can’t find the right candidate cause you don’t even HAVE the right candidates in current positions to be representing the company and put their own biases before the company’s mission and values so now you’ve got a bunch of personality hires that have put staffing needs in circle back hell.

You can’t find the right candidate cause you’ve been posting that role, taking it down, freezing it, posting it again declining everyone and repeat so often that now we all skip past your ass like the dumb bitch that cried understaffed that you are

You can’t find the right candidate cause the candidates are in a group chat talking about how it takes you 6+ months to hire. You can’t find the right candidate cause the person with the best resume/interview declined and went and told all their friends how shitty your process was

Quintessa's list is quite thorough.
I want to add- You can't find the right candidate because you're still just editing previous job descriptions instead of writing a whole new one. Deleting a responsibility here. Add one there. The role reads like the 2000s. Are you still on Windows 8?

Our scientists can’t clone dinosaurs like in Jurassic Park, but they did clone something that looks like an Ewok crossed with a blueberry cobbler.

No we don't stash our weed in the kangaroo’s pouch—that's her weed.

Putting a cape on a penguin won’t make it fly. We know that now.
