Yeah, I forgot. Can’t kick plate the gasoline pumps in #NewYork. For the want of a little screw. That’s what he said… LOL! #travel #NYS

So now we’re at the #CliftonSprings rest stop on the Thruway in #NewYork. Things have changed while you’ve been away, Cotter. Apparently no more toll tickets and cash. It’s all drive-thru now. Signed up for a temporary account with #EZPass and I guess that’s it. I also don’t really care. New York can chase me. I’m glad I left. I can visit and I can leave. #travel #bleh #NYS #SoManyRegulations #WelcomeToGilead

Today I learned that my favorite river, the Susquehanna River, is among the world's oldest river systems. At 300+ million years old, it predates the Adirondacks, which are the world's oldest mountain range!

Hey so I don't know how many people might be seeking a relatively low-paid job* at a very inclusive library in a mildly welcoming town, but my local library is expanding its physical premises and is now also hiring a new library clerk. This position is full time, doesn't require advanced degrees, and comes with good benefits and, if it's like my civil service job, also comes with a guaranteed pay raise of 2-3% every year.
*a bit less than 35K per year
Anyway my upstate NY people please spread this around!

Damn. A struggling small town newspaper. In print for 150+ years. But tariffs on Canadian products meant their paper costs 25% more now. That was the final nail in the coffin. The Cortland Standard, one of the 5 oldest family-owned newspapers in the USA, is shuttering.

#NYS Governor Kathy Hochul says she won't remove Officer Adams because it seems undemocratic. But isn't it more undemocratic to be afraid to use a power she has and (worse yet) grab power by instituting state oversight of the #NYC mayor's office? JFC she should just let the next in line take over, Adams is not indispensable.
BREAKING: New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she will be restricting NYC mayor Eric Adams’ power as mayor at least through the end of 2025, “subject to renewal” beyond that time period.
So in addition to killing #congestionpricing #Trump wants an end to #bikelanes and pedestrian areas in #NYC. The threat being pulling federal funding from the #MTA and #NYS. Basically own a car, or go fuck yourself. Small government anyone?

Letchworth State Park in New York boasts multiple waterfalls along the Genesee River, as well as the "Grand Canyon of the East". This gem is even more spectacular when nigh inaccessible from the snow.
Holy fuck.
I am trying to create an account with NY DMV and they want the "10-digit" document ID.
Digit? Yeah no; their help page shows alpha-numeric ID strings.
Plus, this: 'characters may look similar - an "I" may look like a "1 (one)" or an "O" may look like a "0 (zero)'
Apparently the use both zero and the letter "O", one and the letter "I". WTAF.
I keep getting an error about my entries.
BUT THEY DO NOT SAY WHAT FIELD.
Then I get locked out for too many failures.
They finally getting some good roots it will be time soon to transfer them to soil!!!! 😁 I been getting them to root by putting them in a cup of water and the first batch failed but this second one is doing better as I added green green which is fertilizer I use for the lucky bamboo and they have roots!!!! Woot! The fertilizer is just a basic 10-10-10 liquid based fertilizer I got from Amazon that is usually for Lucky bamboo. #spiderplants #plantlings #flora #green #indoorgardening #winter #NYS
New Yorkers, this is an annual reminder to check the Office of Unclaimed Funds. You might just have money sitting with the state, I did! 🤑
Also you look up your friends and family to see if they are owed anything.

Welp. Apparently Letitia James was pushing the medically nonsensical, long-debunked, weapons-manufacturer-created "excited delirium" theory as recently as 2021. This was in response to Daniel Prude's murder at the hands of Rochester police. AND she made this Vilke dude who has made a career of telling cops that the "excited delirium" killed people in their custody the only outside medical expert in the Prude case. She has backed away from full-throated endorsement recently but also hasn't apologized for this or explicitly retracted her support for Vilke.
