ON THE THRESHOLD OF SCIENCE FICTION, THE AOR, AI PERFORM FLAWLESSLY

PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY AUG. 30, 2023) — If all goes well, this post will be published today. While THE PLANET enjoys hiatus status, we have added the “activate and publish” function to the responsibilities of our Army of Robots (AOR).
Yes, the appearance of this post is proof. In our absence, the AOR has handled the task of publishing this column. It doesn’t sound like much, but it is nothing short of amazing.
In our absence, the army been performing well in its usual roles of security, monitoring, moderation, and system updates. The AOR still needs THE PLANET to actually write the stuff, but no doubt some day soon that will be automated as well. Even now, our backstage arrangements include a type of artificial intelligence (AI) based on algorithms designed by the techies.
AI’s handling of the Comment Line has been nothing short of flawless.
Just a few years ago, this would have been the realm of science fiction.
By way of update, our next post will be published on Wednesday, Sept. 6.
The Comment Line is open.

Which way to Goslow?

Will Artificial Intelligence lead to the Terminator Movies scary future where machines will destroy humankind? What about the Planet of the Apes movies? What about the Matrix movies? Will the third Antichrist be an artificial intelligence madman?
Why didn’t you listen our two fav movies Jonathan? Brokeback Mountain and Barbie. Great movies!
I am not a Rancher. I am not Barbie’s “hunky love bug”. But I am a sinner like everyone else, including Eric SwanSIN the SINNER!
No such thing bruh
Jonathan never spoke truer words when he asked me why waste two hands getting a bra off when you need only one hand getting your bruh off.
If you like The Matrix, you’ll like the series Afterlife.
Are you trans fat phobic?
Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
Well ladies and ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen….. it’s fucking funny to me, that God lovin’, educated, tradesmen et ai, such as yourselves can be mind fucked into thinking INTELLIGENCE could possibly be…. …. fucking ART I FICIAL. Really? GTFO. Start from GO.
I said what I said.
Fake intelligence is the best kind.
I can not grasp the concept; fake intelligence
That’s like; an oxytocin
Intelligence is Intelligence = to truth. Like that’s the shit.
Well, fake intelligence is equivalent to the oxytocin of the masses, in that everything that we took to be the word of the savior is now the word of the purveyor.
Is your name Pete? If so, take a right onto Rte 20 and go west until you hit the ocean.
Maybe, however – Peet is different than Pete. Short for Bepeeta; I was a muse-ing @ age 14. Which are all endearing af, thank you so much.
Wherever you go, there you are.
Did you hear about the new process where they are cloning people using mirrors? The scary part is that apparently it can happen accidentally in your own home if the parameters are just right.

PEDA is 25 years old. That is a little over 4 years longer than Smitty Pignatelli has been in Boston. I don’t know which one is the bigger debacle. PEDA has millions of dollars in always increasing unfunded liabilities. Smitty Pignatelli and his fellow corrupt career politicians in Boston are still sitting on over $7.22 billion in surplus state cash. PEDA is polluted with GE’s PCBs. Boston is corrupt and secretive, and the fictional Massachusetts State Representative Sellout Shakedown gives away tens of billions of dollars in state tax breaks every two years to his wealthy campaign donors. The only thing that is worse than PEDA and Smitty Pignatelli is Jimmy Ruberto’s Rolodex!
Hey guys, why is the krol campaign hq at a known money launderer’s storefront? Asking for a friend.
Krol campaign is all fake. From his change slogan. He voted with Tyer proposals over and over again. From his business with no clients. His claim of 1100 signs. There might be 600 if Lucky. Voters will see right through this crap! His whole campaign is fake……
But lumpy’s button busting belly is the real deal.
Just another reason why Krol will lose!
You seem personally invested and frankly a bit hysterical about this election. Most Pittsfield residents won’t even vote.
John the con. I think that sums it up well.
Krol leads the race in fundraising, lawn signs and door knocking. Your sour personal relationship with John doesn’t change those facts.
Unfortunately, that has nothing to do with running a 200 million dollar budget in a city of mostly senior and lower income people with poor schools, too much crime and homelessness.
One only has to look at the results of the TYER administration to see how little lawn signs and bullshit have to do with running a city. And any fool can put up lawns signs and knock on doors and get money from special interests looking for favors down the line.
What the city needs is someone who actually cares and I do not see Krol as that person by a long shot.
Absolutely agree with Snark.
Also, ethics issues with Krol.
Shark. When I see lawn signs and hear bs I know that the resident living at the site of the lawn sign is either a gobsig or a low intelligence individual. It is certain that these type individuals have no idea as to what it takes to run the city. In a sense they are dangerous. If they do vote it is with their eyes closed. They are the impediment to good democracy. THERE IS AMPLE MEDIA COVERAGE for a candidate to get their view points out to the informed citizens of our city. The uninformed can lead us to doom as was the case when secretary tyer was voted in as mayor. We all know how that turned out. Listen to the candidates for public office. It is easy to spot who is a lawn sign and full of bs. In the mayor’s race I have identified two who fit the bill. The intelligent know who I am speaking of. Do you know. Your answer will tell you if you are a lawn sign or a B-l-sh-t-r. Are you harmless or dangerous? Let’s all vote using our intelligence. I will have a few lawn signs but I certainly am not a lawn sign or a bull–s-it-r
More fake news! It’s all an illusion. Marchetti has double the signs, and his team is knocking everyday!
How much of that comes from outside of the Pittsfield voting populace? Pete has more fundraising INSIDE the city. Krol is like Andrea, outside sources who probably want “progressivism” in name only
Lumpy no have ticket he no get shirty from my laundry. We put heavy duty button on.
糟糕
The very rare, uncommon kind.
Karen Kalinowsky said she was given incorrect information about running for mayor of Pittsfield. The city clerk’s office disputes that claim | Central Berkshires | berkshireeagle.com
” but i was a beat cop for 20 years” ah geez shucks
Ignorance holds 0 legal weight.
Judgement for the Plaintiff [gavel].
It’s too much of a risk simply, i say, simmpplyy, to deter misconduct!
Is anyone surprised to see this article? Did anyone NOT expect a major hit job on the blue collar candidate? Did the tone of the article suggest someone was enjoying writing it? Chuckling perhaps? Does the article suggest some deep desparation that Karen could actually pull off an upset over the highly backed special interest candidates Krol or Marchetti?
We knew this kind of crap would be coming down the pike as we got closer to the election and there will be more of it. These are the kind of people we are dealing with and so I will be spreading the word further and further as to why we need an outsider candidate and not the embedded type which have done so much damage already.
It’s really an article about something that did not happen. Warning letter sent, compliance happened. No abuse.
An article about something that did happen is how two guys, with no community support, got signs up everywhere in a day. That’s interesting. What’s the mechanism?
Next time I see Pete and John, I expect them to be fit and 30 pounds lighter with a fresh pair of shoes.
It is really an article about dirty politics and says more about the people publishing it than the subject matter.
Snark-I agree 100% with your post. I thought the same thing when I read the KK hit piece.
I’m waiting to read about Loverboy Krol’s infidelity or Lumpy’s reigning over the CC, while the city went to he!! in a handbasket.
Lumpy could have stopped all of the “diverse (homeless) citizens” coming from the Boston area during the fake COVID crisis, by rejecting the grant money offered to Flat Tyer by Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (D-illegal immigrants and sex trade workers).
You know Flat and TFCB made out like bandits on that deal. Did you?
If/when Karen Kalinowsky is a would-be Mayor of Pittsfield politics, she could use the “I was given incorrect information” card when the shit hits the fan. Let us not forget that Karen Kalinowsky’s whole campaign for Mayor of Pittsfield politics is based on her being outgoing Mayor Linda Tyer’s biggest critic. Karen Kalinowsky says that she will “budget by necessity”, but I wonder if she thinks it is necessary for her to collect her city public plus perks which would be on top of the mayoral salary of $115,725 per fiscal year 2024 with annual public pay raises built in over the next couple of fiscal years. If/when she would step down from the mayor’s office, Karen Kalinowsky would double her city pension. Karen Kalinowsky makes state public pensioner and greedy registered lobbyist Dan Bosley blush due to her own greed-ball schemes to enrich herself at the public trough.
Read the pension law. She has to give up her pension during time in office or work for free. She won’t be doubling Jack shit or diddly squat. Google it.
This ^^^ from the scam artist himself.
Fritz,
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it was you who posted sometime ago about JM trying to pull off a workmen’s comp disability claim scam? It was shut down though and he wasn’t awarded comp $. Sounds like Melle’s made a living off disability claims rather than working for a living? He is capable of working now in some capacity, but refuse’s to do so.
Finally you explain your hostility to Kalinowsky – she is a critic of Mayor Tyer. That’s logical.
Yup, gotta stand up for his heart throb. But looking bad doing it.
If you adore the current Mayor, you must abhor Kalinowsky. Complete opposites.
Jonathan embraces his feminine side. He identifies with women like that also. Women like Mayor Linda Tyer and DA Andrea Harrington. He likes to dress cute like them to.
Something tells me you are being given a little something under the table to say these things. You are going to need to claim it on your 1040 you know.
Matter of fact I would not be surprised if this screed above was faxed to you from elsewhere and you were asked to post it. Am I right or does it just seem that way?
Because if not, you are behaving just like the people you rail against for bad mouthing you. Check yourself dude.
The good news is this didn’t affect her position in the mayoral race.
Karen has no shot and is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
If you’re going to use his name, say something of equivalent calibre.
Learn how to spell “kindergarten,” Professor.
As I said before, who learned you how to spell your name?

Global warming, what a scam…..
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/over-1600-scientists-sign-no-climate-emergency-declaration
And most of them belong to the Flat Earth society so they should know what they are talkin bout huh?
Sucker
We’ve been in a warming period since around 16,000BC when the ice cap glaciers began their retreat.
Another sucker^^^^
Then why did the group change its name from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change” K?
The climate has been cycling since the beginning of time. Don’t be ignorant.
True dat. It is called four seasons.
It is you, ChattyCathy, who are ignorant for calling me ignorant. I don’t know why the group changed its name, and, yes, climate has been cycling since the beginning of time.
So what?
With a PhD hanging on your wall Prof, please tell The Planet you don’t honestly believe in the “climate change” hoax? If so, your PhD ain’t worth bullspit.
Even the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, knew it was BS and even called “climate change” a hoax.
Let me guess, in your world the Ayatollah John Kerry knows more about the climate and weather, than a veteran meteorologist who developed The Weather Cahnnel.
Why, because a D-after his name Prof?
You are aware most scientists will back up the cause and/or entity who is funding their research? If not, funding dries up and those scientists with their PhD’s will be finding new employment in another career field.

Weather Channel….
Dan, you can edit posts anymore. Need to have your IT people look into this.
Hey Markus, too bad you are so threatened by my degree, and sorry you had such a bad time with your bad profs back in college, but yes, I honestly do not believe in any “climate change” hoax.
We all know that in this glacier interstitial, the climate is getting warmer. The only question is how much we want to spend to slow it down.
If you own property on the coasts, you probably want to slow it down.
I agree your profs must have been pretty bad, because your ignorance is the result of their work. You should try to compose more truthfully, and not litter your writings with things that you have misunderstood, imagined or made up.
The core of the earth is molten lava, an as yet untapped energy source free for the taking. I am currently, in my spare time, working on a project to run a coiled titanium pipe loop around my house and then tap into the lava flow running deep beneath it.
Once I have achieved this I will patent it and sell it to Elon Musk and let him further develop it for the masses. I”m asking all of you to keep this under your hat for the time being so that some smuck does not jump my claim and steal the millions of dollars due me.
And as always, thank you in advance for your cooperation and well wishes.
Explain some counter argument to what I offered the Prof?
Not some obscure nonsense about the Earth’s molten lava.
Let me guess, people who build a house near a volcano will claim it’s “climate change,” as lava flows through their living room Snark, when a volcano erupts?
What a f****ng idiot.
Not real professional of ya there Prof.
It’s ok though. I get it. You’re used to pontificating to your students with zero resistance back. You’re just not used to the push back and it frustrates you.
Now quit fu***ng around on the computer and go be a good liberal and adopt an illegal immigrant family to live with you at your house.
As you wish, boss.
“You’re used to pontificating to your students with zero resistance back. You’re just not used to the push back and it frustrates you.”
Not really. I’m used to my students being intelligent analytical fact finders rather than ignorant confabulators like you.
“Ignorant confabulators like you,” states the uber-smart guy who posted about “white supremacy literature in the suburbs,” but NEVER provided any proof when I asked him for it.
Gaslighting 101, right Prof?
How long did you think I’d leave the kid gloves off with your incessant disrespect and insults?
Even if a website did exist showing the story of the White Supremacist flyers that were distributed in my school district, do you think I would distribute it on this site? Such a site does not exist because the story wasn’t covered by local news.
Your unwillingness to believe such events occur shows that you remain largely ignorant of such matters.
Why? Answer: you are in denial.
Have you not seen the scores of White Supremacist mass shootings that have occurred over the past several years? The manifestos of these murderers are filled with White Supremacist and anti-Semitic tropes.
You are just in denial. We wonder why.
If you want to see what White Supremacist language looks like, all you need to do is look at posts to this blogsite by Son of George Wallace.
Any of my students would look like geniuses compared with your high school ramblings.
“Any of my students would look like geniuses compared with your high school ramblings.”
I wrote letters of recommendation to: Dartmouth, Tufts, Scripts, MIT, Harvard, …..graduate/medical programs, among others.
YOU?
I got thank many you letters when they were accepted.
“I got thank many you letters”
Is that so, Trap? That would be a surprise since you can’t spell or use proper syntax.
Sorry, Markus, but Dan ‘lost’ my reply. I guess he figured I was being a little rough on you.
No problem, K. I’m a big boy. I can take a little trash talk. Might not like it, but it keeps me on my toes.
I guess they let it through after all.
You idiots can give me thumbs down for that comment, but it is a true fact.
Just like the Steele Dossier was a true fact.
I am going to put you down as someone not interested in investing in my LAVA HEAT EXCHANGER INVESTMENT LLC.
But would you be willing, right now today, to sign over the rights of the lava deposits beneath your property, in perpetuity mind you, and forego all rights to any profits I may gain from extracting such deposits? And, also, relieve me of any damage claims that may result from your home or barn sinking somewhat during the lava pumping operations?
Once again, thank you for your cooperation in this matter and for your prompt reply.
I guess you don’t believe our icecap is melting. Well, I know a piece of shore property on Cedar Key that you can get for a great price.
Here, I’ll let the late, great, George Carlin explain to you my thoughts on “Climate Change,” or “Global Warming,” as they called it in the 1990’s.
George Carlin on Global Warming – YouTube
As GC states, “Save the Planet?” We (people) can’t even take care of ourselves.”
George was the BEST, but yes, he understood science and could read the writing on the wall.
Governor Hokul is refusing to allow illegal immigrants to be spread throughout New York and the liberal globalist media is spreading the lie that New York conservative neighborhoods don’t want to take in the migrants. Would Hokul be protecting conservatives? It’s more of the media trying to fool the public. Hokul is protecting wealthy Democrats who are all for this invasion of illegal immigrants as long as it doesn’t upset their neighborhoods. Mayor Eric Adams is saying these immigrants need to be spread throughout New York and the country. He is singing a different tune than when Florida and Texas were taking in all the immigrants. That was OK and nobody in the Northeast thought we even had a problem with the illegal immigrant invasion until Abbott and DeSantos started busing them to sanctuary cities in the Northeast. Total hypocrisy.
Governor Maura Healey is calling in the National Guard for Massachusetts to help with the invasion.
Big cities are quietly shipping many to cities like Pittsfield. I cannot fathom the mindset of people who think this immigration horde is going to work out well for anybody involved.
In controlled moderation everyone wins. But an uncontrolled free flow of people needing and draining food, housing, education and medical resources is asinine. And if the people promoting and allowing it think they will somehow not have their lives negatively effect they will soon find out otherwise.
After Covid their was a shortage of people in the medical field, education, law enforcement, and other key jobs.
The camels back is breaking as we speak.
The Pittsfield mayoral candidates need to be asked about this issue. How will the candidates handle the state sending more and more illegal immigrants to Pittsfield? How will local schools deal with the fact that many of these immigrants do not speak English and none have been vaccinated for any diseases? People went crazy about making sure kids were vaccinated for COVID before attending school, but now immigrants are not being tested for any diseases. What about an already poor local housing situation and the impact of having more and more people pouring in? The boring broadsheet is, of course, totally ignoring and hiding the situation.
I completely agree with you Pat. When TB & other communicable diseases start affecting the schools because of the influx of migrants, maybe people will wake up.
Let’s not forget that Krol was Linda’s unvetted Syrian refugee czar and was working to bring them to Pittsfield.
So the City of Pits Administration is at it again. Seems like slimy Bike Lane Morales has taken it upon himself to decide that many of the streets that were on the list to be paved this year are too fat. He has decided to thin them out, some examples are Ann Drive, California Avenue and Lakeway Drive. Evidently, he and his Mama Linda decided this would slow traffic down. Can’t help but wonder if the Ward Councilors and Councilors at Large were aware of these change to the roads and if so why were taxpayers not notified of these changes to their streets and front lawns? Seems like some type of communication should have been sent out. Also, does Morales have the authority to make these changes without a traffic study? How many more streets is this Administration going to be allowed to screw up?
If you narrow the road that would put any bicycles closer to the moving cars would it not? I thought they were all upset about 200 bycycle accidents over the last three years. Guess not so much. Kinda hard to get inside thse peoples heads. Big road changes on West street against the wishes of the area residents but narrow roads elsewhere.
By the way. A large group of people walk daily on Ann drive to get exercise. WTF
Agree with snark – narrower roads means more accidents.
I wish I was thin.
Quirico and Lucia are being repaved and the thinning concept is being used here also. As far as I know there has never been an accident on either street. Maybe global warming is to blame. Doesn’t seem to make any sense. Anita was repaved last year and everyone seems to be happy. Why the change?
Letter: Marchetti provides leadership, vision for Pittsfield
To the editor:
I am honored to support Pete Marchetti for mayor.
Over the last 35 years, Pete has demonstrated true dedication and love for our city through his work in the banking industry, his unparalleled time spent as a volunteer for numerous community organizations and his nearly two decades of service on the Pittsfield City Council, the last eight as City Council president.
While I served on the Pittsfield School Committee, Pete worked to ensure that the School Committee was an important part of the budget formulation process in cooperation with the City Council. Each January, we would be included in the city’s annual midyear financial review and audit analysis, providing us with a solid understanding of our position. In 2016 and 2017, we faced two particularly difficult budget years due to the city’s taxing limitations. Thanks in large part to Pete’s leadership and creative ways to find solutions, we were able to craft budgets which protected essential services for children and minimized staff layoffs. Pete remains a strong advocate of increasing the equity of our share of Chapter 70 funding from the state, providing more dollars locally for critical services.
Over the next four years, the city of Pittsfield will see the beginnings of major projects that will change the infrastructure of our city — the redevelopment of Wahconah Park; the design of a new police station; badly needed attention toward Pittsfield High School and Crosby, Conte and Morningside schools; and the redevelopment work on Site 9 of the William Stanley Business Park. It will be vital to have a mayor who possesses strong leadership skills, fiscal acumen and the ability to work with project stakeholders as we see these visions come to fruition. I strongly believe Pete is the best person to help see these dreams of a better Pittsfield to becoming reality.
Please join me Sept. 19 in supporting Pete Marchetti for mayor of Pittsfield.
Joshua M. Cutler, Pittsfield
The writer served on the Pittsfield School Committee from 2014 to 2020.
That is some truly creative horseshit right there. Some of them Puppets R Us folk sure can spin a tale. And there will probably be a few low information voters who will fall for it.
It’s all public record. Some hate the truth I guess!
It is also public record that he sat by and did nothing to curb the wild careening spending spree that Tyer took off on. He never said no. He never asked why. He simply let himself be led around like a puppy by the mayor totally abandoning his elected role of representing the taxpayers. I find all the pomp and circumstance and baby kissing he is doing now insulting and embarrassing.
THIS is public record! You know it and he knows it and most of the city knows it.
What would you cut?
School administrators for starters. How many assistants does a school principle need in reality? How many assistants does the mayor have? Does the city really need all the vehicles it has that it needs to maintain and insure? How much money is spent on plants and botanical decor around the city. Seems way excessive to me. For starters.
Bottom line is that if you had a forensic audit there would be a laundry list of recommended cuts. Why is the current administration so terrified of a deep audit when every other business with a 200 million dollar budget does one periodically? It is a critical tool for diligent operation as any CEO knows.
There should be a question on the ballot so the people could decide if they want such an audit. Should not be up to administrators running the budget.
Two at large councilors to start with
That is something the Charter commission can do not a City Council!
A freshman councilor found $2000k to cut permanently. I would think the senior could find 8k more.
First thing Mama did when elected was to perform free gender affirming care and transitioned Gavel Man to another gender by removing his testies.
Name on thing that your buddy Peter has done for the taxpayers. He has spent 8 years helping Linda Tyer spend money and screw up the city. Just what has he done to warrant our votes? From what I have heard so far from debates he is just going to be an extension of what we all have been suffering for 8 years. What does he plan to change?
Marchetti killed Kalinowsky’s bike lane petition. He has all those years of experience but he didn’t use that experience to help a colleague. He didn’t use it to help the public. That question was never going on the ballot on his watch. Peter doesn’t care about public opinion and that’s what you can expect from him as mayor.
He killed it but there are plans to redo North street anyway because almost everyone involved at this point agrees that it is a clown show.
Pete has shown a strong tendency to quickly knock down ANY opposing views. He shows strong authoritarian tendencies. My way or the highway. Just like tyer.
Get out if you can.
I wish I could get out. I don’t think I can afford four more years of Tyer-Marchetti tax increases!
You do realize Nr Krol voted for Tyer tax increases all 4 years while on council? This change candidate is a scam and voters see right through it!
Absolutely! Which is why door number 3 has Karen Kalinoswsky who is more grass roots and in touch with the people as citizens and taxpayers. Krol and Marchetti represent special interest projects which is the driver behind the ball busting tax increases. A vote for either of them is asking for a continuation of zero oversight and a runaway spending train. Seriously!!!
I like Karen but I’ll vote Krol if she doesn’t make the final two. Anything but more of the same because that would just be crazy.
I will stay home and watch my tomatoes ripen if Krol and Marchetti are the only choices. When I reflect on all the brave men and woman who have served this country only to get the likes of Tyer, Marchetti and Krol and the mechanical puppets to represent them, I feel ill. We and they, deserve so much better. It is like their sacrifices are meaningless and that is so sad that some people would disrespect them by using their positions for purposes other than what the oath of office they took describes.
My god! the place is an absolute dump(literally) Doofy Mike Daly has clown shoes Shagrue , Stay at home Bowler and the New chief sitting in Park square swinging sausages all touting how safe the city is.
My God people wake up!!!!!!!!!!!! this place needs a clean sweep. The parks are filled with Junkies and homeless, North Street is a complete eye sore, beggars on every street corner, roads are in horrendous shape. Now we have these three clowns running for Mayor all three have done zero nada!! get ready as soon as they find space Pittsfield will become Boston’s dumping ground.
Sumbody done shot 17 bullets near Stoddard ave last night. Guess no one was hurt so yes the city must be safe. No word on where the ammo hit or was directed. Prolly a silly prank afterall.
Big spending. What’s the ROI for the taxpayer?

At least THEY remember the Whisky Rebellion. The People’s answer is to remember what they were about back then. A Free People who did not tolerate abuse.
I remember a whiskey rebellion at Lach’s Lounge. Was Doyle involved?
Kufflinks was.
I went to Lachs Lounge a long time ago. Who was sitting together at the bar. Kufflinks and Marchetti.
Was it during working hours?
Agree, Chas.
Joe Biden is going to Florida today to see the hurricane damage. We can only hope he avoids making insensitive remarks like those he made in Maui.
Maui has over 2,000 children still missing from destroyed Lahaina. All are assumed to be dead at this time. The media will not put the official death toll out especially of the missing children. The homes of the rich and famous were not damaged in Maui. Maui residents are fearful of greedy developers trying to turn Maui into a playground for the wealthy. Their fears are not unfounded as just days after the horrific fires, the developers were trying to buy them out even as they were still in shock. Many locals distrust all government now and some believe the fires were allowed to burn intentionally because just too many things went wrong from no warnings or water and the electricity not turned off.
Maybe he will hand out paper towels like Trunp did. Oh, you forgot about that, didn’t you Pat.
Or maybe Joe will say his toilet overflowed once so he knows how the people of Florida are feeling after their hurricane.
What kind of a person goes out and breaks his or her wedding vows? This is something I contemplate when I vote because I think it’s relevant. What kind of a person gives themselves permission to cheat? What activates that justification system? Ego? Entitlement? Insecurity? What kind of person does not care if he or she hurts his or her spouse and/or children or another family? What makes them think the rules don’t apply to them? How do they justify their behavior? And if the rules don’t apply, what kind of elected official will they be? Just asking.
Those things are irrelevant for our electorate anymore.
Disagree. Voters are disgusted by it. Infidelity ain’t a crime but it’s good enough evidence of bad morals and judgment for most people.
C’mon more of this he said she said? Anyone in their second marriage knows where these comments are coming from. Let’s talk about taxes in Pittsfield! That’s my issue not this church lady BS.
I hope those private messages are leaked so we can all see what John said to his ex. He’s a closeted abuser in every sense but physical. He has to demeanor of a used car salesmen and looks out for John Krol and only John Krol
I do agree and it does affect MY voting patterns, but I don’t think it affects voters writ large. For example, Bill Clinton and D Trump.
Then why do Trump and Bill Clinton have so many fans?
New York has 3,000 illegal immigrants pouring in each day not to mention the huge number going into the Southern states yet Biden’s press secretary says Biden has done more to stop immigration than any previous president. They just lie repeatedly.
Trump has done no better.
Fake information
As I recall Trump offered amnesty to all Dreamers if the Democrats would support a hardening of the Southern border.
Picture of the year has to go to Doofy Mike Daly.
The sausage fest that took place with Clown shoes and his buds at Park square claiming the city is under control no crime junkies or park rats is laughable at best.
Literally a baby carriage stuffed with one of Pittsfield finest belongings in the background. It’s like a constant Saturday night live skit in this city.
I take it you won’t be donating to Mike’s go fund me request for It’s Pittsfield Tonight production’s? He said he needs around $6 G’s to $10 g’s to keep operating.
Maybe just for the comedy. It reminds me of the plays we did in 8th grade.
Another victim of domestic violence that somehow didn’t make the “news”.

After Labor Day, the career politicians will return to the Boston Statehouse & Capitol Hill. I hope that they had a nice Summer vacation. If they were Ogers, then they would be Oger achievers, but instead, they are under-achievers because they do nothing (but DISSERVICES)!
Daly is now the new go to guy or gal in media.
Looks like Kalinowsky is pro Marchetti, Krol anti Marchetti and Marchetti just status quo with Kalinowsky and defensive toward Krol.
I read on iBerkshires that their will be Pittsfield politics debates on Tuesday, September 5th, 2023, starting at 5pm, at the Pittsfield Library, and that you may submit your questions to the Pittsfield TV station’s email address for the candidates to answer.

My question to Karen Kalinowsky is if she would collect her city public pension plus perks on top of her would-be $115,725 per fiscal year 2024 mayoral salary?

You are 100% disconnected!
Of course she would. She’s entitled to it.
The other side is one floor above you
If you are going to pretend to be Jonathan you need to write much longer posts.
Wonder if Tyer will give her pal Bike Lane Morales a big raise or bonus now that he seems to have become a psychoanalyst of Pittsfield taxpayers brains. He is now claiming that thinning out major roads will affect our brains and make us all drive slower. Wow! In these neighborhoods where he had taken it upon himself to redesign the streets did it ever occur to this well paid brainiac that there are no sidewalks, residents of these streets need to walk in the smaller streets many with dogs and baby carriages? Some of these streets serve schools, and believe it or not Morales, some kids still have to walk to school.
Does he and the mayor really think we are all that stupid. The main reason for the speeding, constant traffic accidents, blowing stops signs and traffic signals is the complete lack of traffic enforcement in Pittsfield. Whomever is voted in for Mayor needs to put a stop to the Police Department spending their days and nights doing well being checks for the Brien Center so that the police officers can do the job that they applied for, and we are paying taxes for. Let the Brien Center hire someone to check on these people. There is no reason that the speed limits on streets such as Merrill Road, Dalton Avenue, Williams Street and West Street should be over 65 mph. Acting Chief Dawley needs to address this lack of enforcement, and if he can’t seem to make this fix, then the State Police should be called in to perform the service. Enough is enough!
Keep putting posts like this out were going to have to draft you for Mayor. Excellent !
Coming off Ann Drive yesterday on our way to BJ’s after dodging the bright orange painted raised manhole covers that were left ( not gotten to yet) after the new paving we turned on to Williams a green Jeep tricked out passed us right by Leona with on coming traffic coming. It is the driver’s and lack of enforcement 100% that is the problem.
Agreed! how about the five officers guarding holes all day. Massachusetts is famous for this ridiculous waste of money. Let Verzion Eversource and any other companies that require traffic details find the labor. This city needs Police to do you know Police work. Start with foot patrols on North street walking the parks etc..
Agree, and these police officers do not even direct traffic they are either shooting the breeze with workers or staring at their cell phones, there is absolutely no supervision watching over these detail workers. I also feel that our officers should not be having to perform crossing guard duties during their shifts. Either send a teacher or paraprofessional out to help cross the kids, or better yet send one of the highly over paid employees from the Mercer School office. The school department certainly has enough budgeted monies and an over inflated work force.
That’s because he ain’t runnin’ the country……

Mr. Fritz, I still like you despite you calling me a scam artist – but I, Jon Melle, served our country honorably in the U.S. Army and received the regards of the U.S. President (GWB) in a letter from the White House. Am I the only service connected Veteran who is a scam artist, according to you?
No need to get your thong all knotted up Jonathan.
See Obama,Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice and the rest of the cabal from his administration that are running things. Joe is only told he is in charge,and he believes it.
Alex blumin has a debate at 5pm tomorrow night He is the right candidate for ward 2. He is his own maN and will not be swayed by any gobsigs. A vote for him is a vote to save pittsfield
Joe in charge?

Get ready Pittsfield! coming to a hotel/Motel near you.
I like all of the comments after this article including this one:
“This is the future they want for us. They want us living week to week, literally, not even having an apartment leased, and certainly not owning a house or a car. They don’t even want us to have a job. They want us working ‘gigs’ with no certainty of employment, renting a place to live week to week, no car so we are dependent on transportation systems they control thus controlling where we can live and work- and at what pay, and if we are allowed to stay in one place it will be an act of ‘benevolence’ by some politician referred to as a ‘public servant’ who will have the same power to have you tossed out of your home as they will have to allow you to stay.
Healey has as much power over these working Americans as any Communist in China or Cuba. That’s not how America is supposed to work.”
This person really gets it.
Voters in New Ashford are soon going to be voting as to whether they want their town to spend $55,000 for a new fire truck. A necessity no less. What a concept that their government would be asking the taxpayers if they felt comfortable making such a large expenditure.
In Pittsfield, if the mayor wakes up some morning and has the urge to spend 10 million dollars of taxpayer money on a feel good project benefitting mostly special interest folk, she just does it. Maybe she runs it by the bought and paid for puppet council, maybe not. Maybe Pittsfield could get something in its charter similar to this. Or maybe, put it explicitly in the oath of office for city councilors to provide legitimate oversight of such expenditures?
Oversight??? .WTF is that asks councilor Marchetti???? Oh my, says Persip. Why ever would we need to question the mayor??? Councilor White says, I think we can trust the mayor and she really does not need us cluttering up her thought process. Leave the mayor alone fer Gods sake.
$55,000 for a fire truck is a cheap-ass fire truck.
CC means cocktail club…They are only speaking to people who drink for a living.Krol lost weight after leaving the council.Everyone on the CC puts on 30lbs
Are there any candidates running to cut the budget only 2 %.Pete and John will not cut the budget ,but if I had to choose Pete would be very very qualified to get it done.Signs have nothing to do with qualifications because not one sign can speak to the financial abuse of the elderly. I’m in shock that Krol won’t talk about this abuse at his hand as councilor.If Pete comes out against the abuse he gets my vote…..Allendale school should have closed 20 years ago….Pete,should come out on the side of the kids and the elderly because John owns the lawn signs
Pete had his chance to do something for the last 8 years and didn’t do a GD thing about any abuses citizens incurred. Krol will be no better.
Krol will be a ‘less porous seive.’

I’ve been speaking to many people who were former city employees and current ones, specifically plowing contractors…
I hope Dan finds the sources and does an expose on how very few people are willing to work for Ricardo Morales due to his constant incompetence. He’s a feel good political appointee. At least pick a POC who has dealt with snow before… I’m pretty sure Puerto Rico has a tropical climate…. seriously
Dan. You can’t make this up. Alex Blumin was assaulted by a pan handler.
One other thing. Police log states an assault and battery at Soldier On ? Then five hours later same subject is trespassed at Soldier On?
Alex was superb in his ward 2 debate and he came off better than al individuals who debated this evening. He is the real thing and will be a tremendous voice for the taxpayers of this city. Great job Alex my very fine friend. Kudos—-Craig
17 including a few prominent officers on list of seventeen on a new disciplinary list just released to public.
Alex said it perfectly. No Mayor or City Councilor should get unlimited terms.Two is ENOUGH. Look at the latest results. For one you get comfortable which leads to LAZY.
Cant let lumpy be stationary on his record. Pittsfield has never been worse. He’s been there the longest. Or is that how things are done around here. Reward ineptitude. Must remove some council members.
Are you saying he never saw snow before
I think he made that obvious last year when we had 60+ accidents in a single day because the roads weren’t plowed or safe
He is a political appointee, everyone knows it. At least Bruce Collingwood had a clue as to what he was doing
