Long time listener of the @CapPressRoom and hearing all the different guest hosts make me wonder how long before I get my shot behind the mic to say “Joe Angelino sitting in for David Lombardo”? Heck, I’ll even try #DispatchesFromPlanetAlbany @poozer87

New York law requires the disclosure of artificial intelligence for television commercials. Hard to imagine this impossibly small print from this streaming ad is what the legislative sponsors had in mind for transparency.

Not something you see every day:

I asked Anthony Constantino, the Republican running in #NY21, what the biggest city in his district is. He told me to "ask Grok." (It's Rome, population 32k — I did not need to ask Grok for that.)

During his visit to Albany for a screening of #TheHistoryOfConcrete, John Wilson discussed his connection to #NXIVM and The Egg, which was referenced in an episode of @howtojohnwilson.

[David Lombardo @poozer87]

During a Q&A in Albany, filmmaker John Wilson says his next feature is “an actual rockumentary.”

Eventually @NewYorkStateAG @TishJames came up with former NY AG Bob Abrams, who she has described in the past as her mentor, but it took about 30 seconds.

The New York State Senate composition from 2006-2018 was insane lol

New: 3 years ago, NY Gov. Hochul's admin stockpiled 150k pills used in medication abortion (enough for 12,500 doses) after a court ruling led to fears of a possible shortage.

Now, they're all expired and awaiting destruction.

Assemblymember Nikki Lucas, who's vying to become the embattled Brooklyn Democratic Party's next head, has racked up at least 69 traffic violations in the past five years — nearly half of them for speeding and blowing through red lights.

There are only two historically acceptable send-offs for legendary pitchers.

One is having his wife and kid run out to the mound.

The other is letting him shout his coach off the mound.

We have had the distinct privilege of witnessing both.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. And I would just say for a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team, that you were in another city and somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia and then call you a 'dirtbag' is something that deserves an apology."

[David Lombardo @poozer87]

In advance of my paternity leave, I got parenting (and grandparenting) advice from Senate Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins.

In advance of becoming a #GirlDad, my @CapPressRoom producer quizzed me on some of the essential products for women.

Talked with @ShontellSmith about my half marathon, the social media flex from @AMBichotte, whether Albany needs a hangout spot for staff, and Gov. @KathyHochul's potential Scaffold Law reforms.
