Good morning, blog readers. It’s Saturday, and I hope you were able to dig yourself out of that nasty Nor’easter that tore through the Capital District.

Read MoreWhy I support Primal Your Local Butcher (and so should you)
FTC Note: At no time did I request or receive any compensation or discounts from Primal Your Local Butcher for this blog post. This blog post is written by me and is of my personal opinion.

Read MoreTrans children are not victims of child abuse. Greg Abbott is a clown.
Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas division of Family and Protective Services to investigate parents whose children are trans, and report them for child abuse. This is the same chud who gleefully signed into law rules severely limiting abortion rights, offering ordinary citizens the opportunity to sue anyone who even suggests or assists…
Read MoreDo her headlights actually light up?
A fair word of warning. This blog post might be a bit, shall we say, juvenile. And I’m actually going to suggest you treat this as potentially NSFW. You have been warned. After this, it’s all on you.

Read MoreThe Anniversary

I blogged about it twelve years ago, and eleven years ago I blogged about providing the proper respect. I’m not going to lie. In an…

Before I start this week’s recap of blogs and photographs from my personal blogroll, I’d like to ask you all to do something special for a good friend of mine. Former local news reporter and all-around good guy Ken Screven recently suffered a bad fall, and after time recuperating at a facility in Gloversville, he’s…
