It wasn’t the National Guard:

This is from Orkin so it is somewhat biased to be sure, but a bioswale is designed to detain water for 24-48 hours after a storm.

The alternative, green roofs are a good deal better as it provides a habitat for mosquito predators.

But these are orders of magnitude more expensive.

Let’s also not forget that the station wagon is still very much a staple vehicle on European Roads, you can buy Volvo’s models in the US and Chevy and Ford’s attempts over the last decades haven’t been popularly received.

Here’s a NY state senate map from 12-22 before the Gerrymander was broken (in Syracuse, not Rochester, this gerrymander held).

Three state senate districts, 5% of the total number intersected at my house.

I lived in one district, was kiddie corner from another, and three houses away from a third).

The letter the Oregon TAG (top National Guard General in the state) sent to his troops needs more visibility on Bluesky.

New York State requires it that way now. It is quite uncontroversial, even in the more conservative parts of the state.

WTF is this “I hate waffles” thing.

Here's a 14-story “One Flew Over the Cucoo’s Nest” abandoned hospital in Rochester, NY about 30 years post abandonment.

It kills me because here’s what was required in Rochester NY on a brutalist tower in an area as dense as much of NYC - downtown across from the regional bus transfer depot.

We have at least three different versions of “Richmond has fallen and so have prices,” did no one do the same after Appomattox?

You mean this NYS senate gerrymander? I lived/live in the circled area. It was a good gerrymander too, all three senate districts stayed Republican even after Dems took the NYS senate in 2018.

Fusion Voting also gets you this Ballot for Judge in Buffalo (NYC is the same).

I actually have competitive elections in Rochester.

How has no one posted this?
