Ella investigating the 5-6 inches of heavy wet snow that fell overnight. This much of the heavy wet stuff and temps of 19 degrees is usual for March. What’s crazy is that by Wednesday it’ll be 78 degrees and by next weekend we’ll be in the low 80’s, well above normal.

"Your driving privacy expires with your current car’s lifespan"

"Your car simply watches and decides whether you’re fit to drive"

Using technology to save lives is one thing, but this data will be in the hands of bad people.

Give it up for Democratic lawmakers in New Jersey, everyone. Check out the acronym of the bill they introduced. #Politics #Democracy #Democrats #Immigration #ICE #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/nyregion/new-jersey-democrats-ice-laws.html?unlocked_article_code=1.OFA.G-px.HZFqkYBgukJG&smid=url-share

New Jersey Democrats Send Coarse but Clear Message to ICE With New Bill

Lawmakers have added some of the state’s trademark in-your-face attitude to a measure that would expand residents’ ability to sue federal immigration officials.

AOC will be attending the Munich Security Conference next week, presumably to talk about foreign policy. Gee, I wonder if she's thinking about higher office. I sure hope so. I'd vote for her for president in a second. She's been relentless since the start of the current administration. People like her, in my opinion, are what we need. #Politics #NewYork #Democrats #Democracy #US #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/us/politics/aoc-run-for-president-or-senate-2028.html?unlocked_article_code=1.KFA.dwHI.9W9Oa6523cj2&smid=url-share

Tim Cook sold Apple's soul

Apple used to stand for something. Now Tim Cook gifts golden statues to Trump, removes apps at the administration's request, and cozies up to accused rapists at White House screenings. The company I once admired has become morally bankrupt, but leaving the ecosystem feels almost impossible.
