Every single time this happens, I'm always like "Oh look how far you got!! You feel good about yourself now??"

little Nacho is 10 weeks old and a sweet gentle baby… Pepita is his young mama who was rescued pregnant and malnourished but adjusted to indoor life instantly. She’s like my shadow, wants to be pet every second of every day. Both cats are sweet, gentle, and friendly, but they’re also cautious and don’t love a lot of noise, so I think they’d do best in a home without small children. Must go as a pair. 

We are a small nonprofit rescue, so adoption fee applies, but every cat we care for has been handled, socialized, and trained as though they were my own. Located in eastern Fairfield County.

DM for application link and any questions! 

Been looking at Zillow and I’ve noticed like over half the homes have some pretty obvious AI edits in the pictures. And I’m not talking about the pictures that say ‘virtually staged’ on them that show some furniture.

I’m talking about the aerial photos that show neighboring houses with freshly paved driveways and nice flowers but when you drive by in person you can clearly see they are gravel drives. Or the living room photo shows a nice oak tree in the fall through a window when in person it’s clearly a pine tree.

It’s already hard enough to find houses within budget in this state; but it’s even more discouraging when you get to a house and see how inaccurate the listing photos are. If realtors are using ai to cover up something as silly as a neighbors plants, what else are they lying about in the actual listing?

HOLY SHT! 4 road projects on route 8 today and it’s like does the damn state even CARE about commuters? It’s disgusting at this point!

1. What an amazing show. I have loved them since i was 13. This did not disappoint

2. Was that really a group of people on the far side yelling pro white power during Mike’s anti hate message after the guy got carried out?

3. Was anyone else on Broadway Center lot after the show, what was that nit wit yelling at cars?

TL;DR - A guy has had chickens for decades, which violates a zoning law from 2015. Suddenly the town decided to enforce this and make him get rid of chickens.

Some context here. This guy has been raising chickens in his back yard for as long as long as I can remember. It was never an issue even though zoning laws changed in 2015. Suddenly the town decided to enforce the zoning laws because a neighbor complained.

Suffield loves to call itself a "right to farm community" and goes and does stuff like this. If you drove by his house you'd never even know there were chickens aside from the sign saying eggs for sale.

27M on husky. I know there are a few posts like this, but I have been struggling on and off for years. I really want to give this my best shot and finally move on from this chapter if my life, so I am really looking for whichever rehab is the best of the best. One that not only offers the most resources, but with staff that push to get to know clients and address real issues.

I'm not sure if I should do long term like Lebanon Pines or Trinity Glen, or if I should just stick to a 30 day. Even if I went long term im not sure which one is better, and im scared of committing to go somewhere so far away with no knowledge about it.

Any experience or insight is very appreciated

Dying mall like lots of malls around the country but very beautiful inside.

Push a cart down any grocery aisle in Connecticut right now, and you can feel it. Beef is up more than 10% over the past year. Meat, dairy, cereal, bread and bakery, four of the six major grocery categories, climbed again last month. Groceries cost more than they did a year ago, and more than they did the month before. This isn’t in your head. It’s on your receipt.

Here’s what makes it worse. In 2024, Donald Trump stood behind a table stacked with groceries and promised your prices would come down, starting on Day One. Not eventually. Day One. It never happened. Prices rose. He even admitted to a reporter that bringing costs down would be "very hard," before now claiming inflation is "defeated" and prices are falling. Look at your receipt, then decide which one you believe.

The numbers tell the story he will not. American inflation is the highest in the G7, higher than Canada, Britain, Japan, France, Germany and Italy. Our closest allies live in the same world economy we do, and their families are not getting hit like ours are. So what is different here? Two choices, and Trump made both. He put tariffs on the everyday goods you buy, and he started a war no one wanted.

Let's be honest about that war, because you’re paying for it every time you shop. Trump's war in Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about a quarter of the world's oil, and sent crude prices soaring. That cost rides in on the delivery truck, soaks into the fertilizer on the farm, and lands on the shelf in front of you. And the war never settles. He signs a memorandum one week and resumes the bombing the next, calls it over, then calls it back on. Call it a cease fire, or whatever this week's headline says, the chaos itself is a tax, because oil markets never calm down and neither do your prices. Endless war abroad, higher prices at home. Trump chose the war. You are getting the bill.

And while Washington was making your food more expensive, it stopped keeping it safe. Last summer, Trump's CDC gutted the program that tracks foodborne illness, cutting required monitoring from eight pathogens to two and making surveillance of a stomach parasite named cyclospora optional for the first time since 1997. In a typical year, the country sees a few hundred to about a thousand cases. This summer, cyclospora is tearing across the country, with more than 1,600 confirmed cases across 34 states, thousands more under investigation, and more than 140 people hospitalized. So here’s where the Trump regime has left you: food you can barely afford, from a supply they no longer bother to watch.

Now here is what your state did with those same years. When families first told us their grocery bills were out of control, we did not shrug, and we did not lie. We looked. At our request, the Connecticut attorney general opened a formal inquiry into grocery prices, pulling the numbers on nine everyday staples, and state Sen. Martin Looney and I fought to extend that authority up the whole supply chain, past the grocer to the distributors and producers. We told you the truth. The store on your corner was not gouging you. The costs are getting baked in higher up the chain, and a war Washington chose is making them worse.

Then we acted on the part we control. We passed the largest income tax cut in Connecticut history, the first rate cut since the 1990s, saving a typical middle class household about $600 a year and roughly $300 for single filers. We raised the Earned Income Tax Credit for working families. We tied the minimum wage to the cost of living, so it rose to $16.94 an hour this January automatically, no waiting on Republicans in Washington. And we did it while paying down billions in long-term debt and funding our towns and childcare, instead of running up the tab.

This is what the choice comes down to. One government makes a promise on a stage, breaks it, and then insists you are not seeing what you are seeing. Another does the quiet, unglamorous work of actually lowering your costs and then tells you the truth about the rest. Prices are still too high, and I won’t pretend otherwise. But a state that levels with you and delivers where it can is worth more than a president who lies to you and blames the world. Connecticut will keep leveling with you, and we will keep delivering.

57 Hartford Turnpike

Vernon (near Manchester borderline on Rte. 30 / 83)

It's the GOAT!

Just drove about 1400 miles and visited the following states - NH, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, DC, VA, NC and on the way back NC, VA, WV, PA, NY, CT, MA, and NH. Was on many different interstates and without a doubt traveling through CT was the worst. How is it that state after state is undertaking massive infrastructure improvements with tons of construction projects going on and absolutely nothing between Danbury and Newtown. Took about an hour to go 20 miles - no accidents, no construction projects - Just a windy road with lanes that end with no rhyme or reason and massive volume. Then, it gets worse, past Hartford at around 6:45 PM, State Troopers are closing two out of the three lanes for Construction to begin. In MA and NH. nighttime construction begins at around 8:30 or 9:00 PM, not at 6:45 when folks are still driving home from work. Here's the worst part, they are repaving sections of I84 that are perfectly fine (think Exit 60 -65) as evidenced when you go farther North and exit 70+. That was another 45 minute delay. CT is also one of the only States that has not renumbered their exits to comply with new federal regulations. What is going on with the DOT there?

One other thing (that may be controversial) - Several states have opened up EZ-Pass Express Lanes where the amount of the toll is based on the amount of traffic. These lanes are usually reversable so they fit the traffic pattern. Couldnt the State construct and open up one new lane (westbound in the AM, eastbound in the PM) between Newtown and the NY State Line? They would make a fortune.

Attention CT Residents was just notified Utica First is non renewing all homeowners policies effective I believe 12/31/2026. So fyi if you get a call from your agent or Utica themselves it’s not a scam it’s for real. It’s unfortunate but I was luckily made aware from someone 4 months ago so I got my house rewritten.

Edit: Utica First Insurance NOT Utica National. Thanks for catching that folks.

I need to ask who’s buying all these houses if everyone always talks about leaving CT? Are there any single family home construction projects in your town? Or is it all apartment/ condo complexes? Thanks.

I remember visiting it as a kid and I’ve been wanting to plan a visit back there someday, but every time I’ve tried to look it up it seems really inactive? Their instagram hasn’t had any new posts since April 2025 and their website seems to be all articles about casinos for some reason? Also on their site a bunch of the pages lead to dead links like in the sections about the future of the museum and the page for the hours and directions.
