Snow and other flakes

The Grammys are officially something that can bring together the Democratic Ulster County Comptroller and the Ulster County Independence Party Chairman. Congratulations. United we snark.

No day but today. But today kind of sucks

Today I'll be brief because life has gotten in the way of the Life Department business. How dare you,  life? I've got Life to do.
No loss, though, because today has been canceled, even though it didn't really need to be?
I hope you have plans for all the vegetables and milk you bought.
So I'm calling it. We don't know how to winter (I'm also turning 'winter' into a verb).
Also today, New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver hasn't been canceled, even though he needs to be?
Today is weird. Time to criticize your mayor.
The town supervisor of Wawarsing wants to use a maximum security jail's unused building to grow pot. There's a lot more nuance to that but I'm going to leave that there. *Insert pot joke*
On Feb. 5, 1907, the Kingston Freeman reported that an unnamed president of the United States went out in a blizzard. *Insert pot joke*

One cat: Hope you're enjoying the snow.




One Google Glass photo: Spooky house or City Hall?

Yesterday's Internet, Today! is an overhyped snow storm in which I throw in a bunch of links I tweeted, faved or saw the day before or in the morning. You also get a cat and a Google Glass photo. Get it in your inbox to get the satisfaction when you hit 'delete.'

Let's get buried together in the Snowpocalypsmaggedon

Kenneth Wilson park photo by Tania Barricklo. MOAR this way.

I hope you're home by the time you read this if you're in the Hudson Valley or the Catskills because we're about to get 12 to 24 inches of snow depending on how miserable you wanted to be when you picked a place to live in the area good jorb.

Anyway, if you want to share your pics on the twitters or the instagrams, use #dfsnow to share your photos but don't do that on Facebook because hashtags are terrible on Facebook.

The Freeman is on Instagram, by the way, but don't tell anybody, otherwise I only have the Freeman Tumblr left to to crazy things.

The links:

Post by Daily Freeman.

* Did you know Wikipedia has a 'supreme court' and that it can ban people from editing articles?   It's all because of the 'Gamergate controversy' and you'll regret it if you click on that last link to the Wikipedia article. People can be awful.

* Talking about terrible people, check out this terrible list of now 38 terrible New York state lawmakers who have face legal or ethical charges since 2000.  The 'How Many Days' since a New York lawmaker's arrest counter had to reset.

* Terrible names: There are two private equity firms reportedly interested in buying the parent company of the Freeman, one named after a Greek god that can bring "ill health and deadly plague" and the other named after a three-headed hell hound. The scary part of that sentence is "private equity firms."

* Terrible Skymall, we hardly knew ya.

One Google Glass photo: Kingston Fire department trucks.

This photo reminds me of the time we gave a Kingston firefighter Google Glass for a day. Fun times.
