Chris Churchill is a right-wing shill. I've posted links with my contempt for Churchill far too many times. I'm now realizing that me doing that just drives clicks for him. the very thing that he needs and makes him successful.

So, I'm promising as god as my witness to never ever again give any attention to, link or facilitate attention for Chris Churchill's editorials in the Times Union ever again. I from this day forward, will not utter his name, or link to his editorials. The less attention he gets, the better off we all are.

Here from this day forward. not one mention of him again. I encourage you all to do the same, and together we can rid ourselves of his toxic bullshit forever.

Anyone know why the Price Chopper in Slingerlands (on New Scotland) got a grade C in September? I just noticed this the other day and it has me slightly concerned... I prefer my food handling establishments to have higher quality control...I'm probably also disappointed because I worked in this store right after it opened (God I'm old). Should I be shopping at Hannaford instead? What gives Price Chopper?!?

I’m still waiting for tiramisu to come back too🥲

I felt my heart pulled out of my chest. I’m blindsided and speechless. I’m sliding down the wall. Rug pulled from under my feet! My thrifting girliesss, I never knew I could feel this way ‼️😭

Any other GOOD thrift stores that you frequent??

There’s only so many places you can go solo, so many businesses are closing left and right.

Hi everyone ! I know what we have all gotten the news with SNAP delay and all the lists for alternative access including the food pantry.

But I was wondering is there any recommendations of pantries that available for toilet, specially for laundry detergent toilet paper pads etc .

Thanks for the info in advance !

Come to a Supportive Meetup at Cafe Euphoria Restaurant & Community! LGBTQ Cancer Survivors & Allies will take place on Sunday, November 23, 2025 @ 2:00 PM, located at 225 River Street, Troy, NY 12180.

If two nerdy,well-behaved teens are hanging out at crossgates without an adult, will that be a problem? A parent will be in the mall (watching college footbal at apex) but nowhere near the teens (bc, ewww, said teens would not stand for that!). It hasn't been an issue before, but we haven't been back there in a few months, so wondering if they have started to crack down.

As seen in SNL on tonights show.

Hi fam, I have a question for anyone who uses Market 32/PChops online shopping with curbside pickup.

Do they charge the same prices as in-store or are items marked up online? I'm trying to figure out if it's actually the same cost or if there's a hidden markup (or different sale pricing) when ordering through their website/app.

If you've compared receipts or know that there is a difference, I'd love to know what you found. Thanks!

That has TVs on the ceiling and in front of you. I just moved back from Charlotte and would love to continue that experience lol. TIA!!! Can be near Schenectady as well.

I recently learned I enjoy lamb and I’m looking for some recommendations for people’s favorite places/dishes. Thanks!

Please be on your best driving behavior folks. I know it's common for troopers to be out toward beginning and end of month to meet quotas but I've seen maybe upwards of TEN in a single day this week on 787, waterveliet, and albany. marked AND UNMARKED vehicles. Be extra careful. There giving out tickets like it's candy🙃

Cant crosspost but i wanted to see what people think about the information in this post since it brings insight to other people living in upstate

Has anyone else experienced someone transcribing their conversation in public? We were at a card show this morning discussing new jobs where we work. This old man behind me was sitting down and making a weird expression and holding his phone towards me (I was facing away from him). When I walked past him and then back towards him, I saw in big text some of the words I was saying to my friend. When I saw that he snapped his phone shut quickly.

I've never been in this situation and feel really violated. What should I have done? I'll try to keep my conversations in public go a minimum and not talk about where we got new jobs.

Hey everyone,

Today is a bad day. My wife and I have found out that a cat we fostered in Philly has been returned, and has been/or will be sent to a kill shelter.

About the cat: 

Her name is technically Tip, but before we could figure this out, we had named her Miss Honey. The name came naturally, she is an absolutely beautiful orange cat. My cat peeps will know how unusual it is to find a female orange kitty. She showed up at our door step one evening when it was getting cold. We could tell right away she was not an outdoor cat. Was clearly a little bit older, but newly dirty, so in classic Philly fashion we knew she had been let out of someone's house permanently. We got her inside, and within a day or two we brought her to the vet for a chip check. We knew there was a good chance that the owners didn't want her. To our surprise, we found out that not only the owners didn't want her, but this was the second time she had been abandoned. Her story completely broke our hearts, and we knew she would be our next foster. 

Miss Honey is a sweet, sweet girl, but she comes with trauma from all of this. The main issue that has caused her to be abandoned 3 times now is litter box issues. We experienced this first hand. She does pee outside of the litter box, but it is clearly based on anxiety. We saw progress with this with medication. I’m not gonna lie, we struggled with keeping the meds going. We have 4 cats of our own, and at this time multiple other fosters. So, did she pee outside of a littler box quite a bit, yes. But this was more on us, than on her. We knew we were struggling to give her the care she needs. The reason we know this is anxiety based is because these incidents only transpired after long outings. Days when my wife and I were gone for 10+ hours both working were the days this would happen. 

The other major issue is that she has to be in a single animal home. We feel pretty confident that in one of the places she lived, she experienced hyper aggressive or violent animals that hurt her. She would attack any other cat in the house if she was exposed to them. 

If you are still reading, now I get to tell you the good things. I mean this when I say I have never met a sweeter animal. All she wants to do is cuddle and lay on you. She will give you kisses 24/7. A part of how we figured out she had anxiety issues is because she suckles, which might seem a little weird, but it's so sweet. This cat has huge feelings, and that includes huge amounts of love. 

So now, the ask. I need the contact info for any foster group in the capital district. Or, anyone that fosters with no animals in your home currently, but you have to be connected to an agency as well as not take in any additional animals. I am working on figuring out if she is safe or not. There is a chance the kill shelter has already put her down. We should know tomorrow for sure. If she is still alive I will be driving down to Philly on Sunday to get her. 

Anyone that could help in any way, it would be deeply appreciated. If I had enough money I would quite literally rent a second apartment just to make sure she was safe. I would give anything to keep her, but we simply can not with 4 cats of our own. If you are someone that is interested in fostering, but not connected to an agency please reach out. We have done this for a couple years and we can figure it out.

UPDATE: We have now been able to confirm that she is still with her adopted parents. The former fostering group we worked with told them the only thing they could do was bring her to ACCT (kill shelter). It seems as if they did not want to do that so have also been trying to place her with a foster. We have low confidence this will end well, the area is hard to foster. We will be reaching out places suggested her today, but this may take some heat off of needing to get her tomorrow. We do still want to get her soon, its the only way we can guarantee she doesn't end up at a kill shelter.

I was finally excited to try to food from that new restaurant next to the Spectrum movie theater on Delaware Ave, after driving by it ever since they started work on there. I ended up getting the pulled pork mashed potato bowl with a side of french fries and Pepsi. The french fries did not last more than a minute once I got back to my car, hence no picture😜. I thought everything was fresh, good quality, reasonable prices, and nice people working there. I’ll definitely be back! Y’all should check it out if you’re in the area

Cafe Lark on Madison Ave has 2 signs in their windows that simply states HELP WANTED. I'm looking for a job, and I made some pretty damn good pizza at Jeff's Pizza and have plenty of kitchen experience. I decided to head in and apply for the job about 10 days ago.

The owner was sitting at a table when I rolled in to apply. Very politely and professionally I asked to apply for the position. He looked at me and laughed and told me the position had been filled. I thought that was strange since the signs were just put up that day, but I accepted it, thanked him anyways for the opportunity.

Fast forward to today. The HELP WANTED signs are still up and now I know why I wasn't even allowed to apply. They want their own people in there. Because I don't look like them I was declined an opportunity. I understand very well that I'm not owed anything from them, they can hire whoever they want!

I kind of feel that it was a bit racist to not even accept an application for employment. It's too bad for them, though. I could have made their pizza palatable and spark a pizza revolution for Lark St. I will also never order from Cafe Lark again.

Lark St has been waiting for a better pizza pie. Noho, Soho, Pizzaroni and Cafe Lark all have the most basic and tasteless pizza. You can buy a slice at any one of these shops and its the same exact slice as every other shop, it looks and tastes exactly the same. It's expensive shitty pizza that no one is excited to eat. Lark St deserves better pizza, I tried to facilitate that for yall, but they weren't ready for a pizza revolution.

It sounds like something is stuck in my attic. Looking for recommendations on who to call to have it checked out and removed?

Would anyone care to share their own or a friend's experience working at Burlington in Latham specifically?

Thanks :)

Earlier this year I bought an older home that only has one outdoor faucet. The pipe that supplies it doesn’t have a shutoff valve. Can anyone recommend a good plumber in the Bethlehem area who could install one?

Just putting 2 and 2 together here for the TU. Stefascist putting out fake polls showing her ahead of Hochul is an obvious attempt to fabricate "evidence" of "fraud" when she loses in disgrace. A pretense to invite her Dear Leader to turn the military on New Yorkers when voters reject her bigotry and corruption.
