It may be gray out, but it’s finally warm enough to wear a light jacket. Everywhere in my part of NYC, people are eagerly walking around, teens getting ice cream, kids riding their bikes, joggers taking advantage of the higher temps, couples strolling around the neighborhood.

Spring is coming. 🌷

Exclusive | Red alert: Brooklyn pol says he and other USSR immigrants are more β€˜cultured’ than Americans A Brooklyn pol born in the former Soviet Union claims he and other comrades who fled to the United States are more cultured than those born here β€” even vandals.

AM Novakhov said this on Feb. 18th, just before Timothee Chalamet made his comments late last week. The two comments are not in reaction to each other, but the timing is something!

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

American schools weren’t broken until Silicon Valley used a lie to convince them they wereβ€”now reading and math scores are plummeting | Fortune Neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath warns the U.S.’s $30 billion bet on laptops in schools has made Gen Z less cognitively capable than their parents.

"Horvath blames (EdTech)for these atrophying skillsets, arguing that at the turn of the 21st century and through its first decade and a half, tech companies & advocates pushed a false narrative that the education system was broken, but computers could fix it” #education

'I love Russia' β€” Inside the prison where Ukrainian collaborators wait for Moscow Nelia Checheta served the state for decades β€” first with the Soviet military in Turkmenistan and later in Ukraine's Emergency Service β€” earning official honors along the way. At 62, her story continue...

With 1,115 convictions in 2025 alone, Ukrainian courts have sentenced thousands for collaboration since the full-scale invasion began. For those found guilty of aiding Russia, the stakes are stark: up to 15 years in prison, or life imprisonment.
