This is maximum true. I tell it to new reporters all the time.

We have done some work on this for Kingston and Ulster County. Suffice to say, the total drying out of federal money to local governments will have MANY negative effects.

That sucks - more than most Hudson Valley communities, that area is very tough to live in without a car.

The rideshare infrastructure in general around here is seriously lacking.

There's a place with great egg sandwiches that's 30 seconds down the road from the lab. The joy is real.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

I swear, if the Giants sign that fool, I am going to start rooting for the Jaguars.

That's some of the best sportswriting I have read in years. 👍

I have stayed at probably eight Airbnbs so far in my life, and have found something to hate about every one of them.

As red-bellieds go, this dude has a lot of red in him. <3

Jimmy Carter was the last president to speak honestly to the American people, and boy did he pay the price for it. RIP to a truly good human.

Dan Barton @dan-barton.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

I mean really it's almost a crime.

It's a roll of the dice, but much in life is a roll of the dice.

Please never wear those unis again. I think they burned out a dozen pixels on my TV and now Hoda looks all weird.
