*THIS* is why I left the Dem party five months ago. We can not count on the leadership. Period. They are untrustworthy in representing us.

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

This snowy egret should join a football team. Chased this cormorant about 30 yards down the mudflats - whether trying to match its catches or chasing it away, I couldn't tell. The Albany Bulb is packed with various shorebirds, it's fun to watch how they interect between species.

@radiobwatt.bsky.social please don’t repeat the lie that SNAP program withholdings are due to government shutdown, as you said this am. The money is set aside and pre-approved. The holdup is Yrump and Johnson.
