Sorry to say goodbye folks but I’ve decided to take my business to #Bluesky. Hope to see you over there.

@glensfallsse I had the same reaction. And they have not made a 2-point conversion all season.

Journalism thread: As we grind through the final day of campaigning, some thoughts about why there is so much angst, anger and skepticism about news coverage of the Trump-Harris race. This isn't the most important thing about this moment, but as a reporter I think it matters. 1/

This is what it looks like when free speech comes under attack. Yes, it can happen here.

Politicians should be the last people we should consider heroes, especially these days. There are a few, but not many. The key word is "scrutinized." If as a citizen you do not scutinize your elected officials, then you are failing as a citizen.

You have to be pretty juvenile to steal a political lawn sign. I mean, what person could possibly be swayed by a little sign? So who would possibly do that? Will Doolittle @trafficstatic found out this election season there are a lot of missing signs.

Merry Christmas from the Chapman Museum Decorating Committee. Hope you stop by after Thanksgiving to see the decorations in all their glory.

[Ken Tingley @kentingley]

Welcome to November. As you start thinking about the approaching holidays, consider The Last American Editor and The Last American Newspaper as important reads for the reader in your life.

Pick them up today at: Chapman Museum, Ace Hardware, and Battenkill Books.

Glens Falls takes a 14-6 lead.

Some great #Upstate NY #NY22 reporting here.

[Brian Mann @BrianMannADK]

Fellow journalists, please take care over the next two weeks. Be mindful of your security. Stay in touch with colleagues and editors. Share all concerns about risk with your team. Be careful not to 'normalize' situations where you may be in harm's way. Have a plan and stay safe.

Getting your child a smart phone should be a careful, thoughful decision and not a simple rite of passage. Your child's future may depend on what you decide.

Consider this email Brian Mann received for doing his job. If Donald Trump and Elise Stefanik are elected, reporters and editors trying to hold public officials accountable will cease to exist and apparently half of you will support that.

[Brian Mann @BrianMannADK]

Please support your local public media station. Journalism is essential to democracy and it's threatened and this is an act, contributing now, that you can take to make a difference.

[Ken Tingley @kentingley]

Considering all we know about the effect smart phones have on children, shouldn't they come with a warning for parents where ever they are sold?

What you've heard about Bob Woodward's new book "War" are the latest terrible things Donald Trump has done. The more important message is how the Biden administration handled the wars overseas. Biden and Woodward are both 81, but experience matters.

This photo from the Congressional debate Monday evening at Crandall Park sums up Elise Stefanik's @RepStefanik @EliseStefanik concern for the 21st Congressional. She has not held a debate or a Town Hall meeting in her district in 3 election cycles. She is too busy for you.

[Ken Tingley @kentingley]

Too many people are treating this as a normal election where everything goes back to normal after Nov. 5, or at the very least Jan. 20. The reality our world may never be the same. So the bigger question is what would you do to keep our democracy.

[Ken Tingley @kentingley]

This is what the first steps look like in losing freedom of the press, then freedom of speech and all our freedoms. Consider that on Election Day.

Aaron Woolf's recent guest essay in The Front Page is now being shared on the Adirondack Almanack for the entire North Country to enjoy.

[Ken Tingley @kentingley]

It is the fundamental question every voter should ask about an incumbent elected official: What have you accomplished for the greater good of your constituents?

When it comes to Elise Stefanik, @RepStefanik I can't think of anything.
