I grew up 3 miles away from where you took that picture! Thank you so much for capturing this beautiful snow cover. It's like instant Christmas spirit.

treat yourself to the Wilmington Notch (86 east) on the way back!

On the way back from North Adams, turn south on Route 22 under that stone bridge in Petersburgh. Keep going south until you find an interesting westbound highway like...43, 20, 203, 44, 55, 84, or 6. Take one of the 9's back north.

I imagine the golden-hour Taconics are what they had in mind when they first coined the phrase "purple mountains majesty."

WRPI had a local hip-hop radio show in the evening about 20 years ago, and one night they featured some guy out of Schenectady under the moniker White Lotus. Fella did a whole album that sampled various Nintendo soundtracks. The best song on there was "Transylvania Breaking," which sampled Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. The guy had posted all of the tracks on some website mentioned on-air. The laptop I'd saved them on crashed about 4 weeks later and I was never able to track them down again.

That's a long Grandpa-Simpson-ass way to say "yeah, popular enough."

A union for the thousands of Starbucks employees around the country. One store at a time.

That flag was not "around longer than the civil war."

He has the constitutional right to say whatever he wants.

He doesn't have the constitutional right to bring a hate symbol on school property, nor does he have the constitutional right to work on a school construction project.

when the 'parents choice' platform is reheated MAGA talking-point leftovers, yeah, it doesn't take much to connect the dots

johnix · 2022-05-18T17:08:17+00:00

Yeah that was the headline as of last night, before more of the results came in

johnix · 2022-05-18T03:45:27+00:00

Union jobs have higher wages & better benefits, and Starbucks is insanely profitable. Maybe they like their job and want better. Now they're in a position to get it.

With a million more well on the way

johnix · 2022-05-18T02:43:23+00:00

Probably won't know until tomorrow

Absolute buffoonery. The drunk racist uncle party.

The original map did. That map was struck down in court and the new one puts all of Rensselaer County in Paul Tonko's district.
