Congrats to everyone who joined me in summoning Satan while smoking meth and/or other various illicit substances under a bridge <3

Now that he’s here, let’s put him to work! Give him something to burn, pillage, curse or any other activity that would befit the dark lord. (Bonus points if you describe it like an RTS game)

I don't usually support telling people when there is a checkpoint. But the rensselaer cops and state police have a checkpoint set up at the end of the bridge as you get to rensselaer. Thought it was weird for a Wednesday night, but then i realized its because tonight at the plaza is Ghostface Killah... watch out for this racist operation

Went to the boil shack for the first time tonight and was surprised to see this thing wheeling around. It felt very dystopian lmao. I get that it’s helpful for the servers but it’s just so weird…..

Not as bad as the previous few changes, and obviously not final.

First image is Glens Falls changes, 2nd is Albany changes (I can't seem to switch the order)

Is there some history that would be worth learning about?

Have some old pieces I’d like to get rid of and sell. Was wondering if anyone had any insight on where to sell pieces?

Thanks 🌷

I saw this post on fb marketplace, and am wondering if there’s any way I can help. I am not familiar with anyone but Mohawk Hudson?
I just want to help

I have two estimates, from two reputable HVAC installers, to replace central AC in my small (800sf) home. Both are 2-ton based models (14 SEER) - one is Armstrong Air (a Lennox brand) and the other is Carrier Comfort. Carrier seems to dominate the market here, but Armstrong Air is said to be cheaper to repair and is rated "most reliable" by Consumer Reports.

Looking for feedback from local home owners who have either a Carrier or Armstrong system (re: general reliability, ease of obtaining parts and/or service expertise in local market, noise level and anything else you care to share). TIA!

Back in the before times I was going to poetry open mics. I've recently wanted to get back into it, but the Albany Poets website seems deserted and I'm not on Facebook or Instagram.

Does anyone know of the upcoming schedule or any open mics?

I bought a pack of Thomas' Corn Toasters the other day and holy hell were those things disappointing. Small, flat, just all around an incredible letdown, nothing even close to the lucious goodness that Freihofer's Corn Toasties used to bring. Does anyone know if any local or regional bakeries or whatnot might have picked up the slack? Probably not, I'd have probably heard something about it or been able to find something in a search, but hey always worth asking.

Since it is summer, let's go back in time and raise our glasses to this iconic commercial and best jingle

I’m looking for recommendations in the Capital Region based on personal experiences for the best elementary schools, districts, and programs for autistic kids with special needs. I’m not happy with our current district and I’m looking to move our son asap.
Thank you for your help and input!

Looking for indoor basketball courts to get some practice in with my little nephew, any recommendations?

Hola everyone! I recently moved to Albany and have been getting to know the local business community

I've spent the last 15+ years building web applications for startups, small businesses and communities when I was in the Bay Area and Brooklyn; I originally went to art school and love working with creatives, and prefer to work with locals instead of being all remote

There's a couple meetups and events I went to, and curious if there are more, or if there's interest to get together

If anyone here owns a business needs help with their online presence, feel free to send me a message. Happy to chat and help out if it is something simple or work in your budget. I'm also on the rave scene, doing photography or harm reduction and happy to connect about that

“Four at Forty-Five Degrees,” part of the Empire State Plaza Art Collection and currently on loan to the New York State Museum, shows how Calder used open, airy forms to shape space rather than fill it. 

In the 1960s, Calder started working with massive steel sheets, creating large-scale works that felt both architectural and playful. His “Triangles and Arches” #AtThePlaza is a perfect example — its bold shapes echo the nearby Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, blending art and environment in a way only Calder could. 

Today, we celebrate his legacy and the joy, movement, and imagination his work inspires. Look up, stay grounded, and let creativity move you. 💫

Any recommendations for bachelorette stops (bars, live music, food, etc.) in Saratoga?

Who did you go to? I’m suffering at this point but I’m terrified to end up like Hannah Berner with the frozen mouth😅😩🫠

Saw this very recently posted on NextDoor without any evidence or links. Anyone know if this is actually a thing?

Any recommendations? I’ve already reached out yo 518 floors and Hansens flooring. I’d like at least one more estimate.

Next Wednesday, July 29th!
