In the news

Social, political, hard news/soft news

From the Poster House Museum

When I say “what’s new?,” I generally don’t expect a comprehensive answer. Nor should you. Today’s news are shaping up quite uniquely, as news on any day should.

We have a demon chihuahua, possessed of lord knows what. Most of these yappy little critters have some skeleton in their closet I think. This one is up for adoption.

Microsoft acquired a firm that would give them ever deeper insights into our private business. Its business is speech recognition, which makes it all the more intrusive.

A recipe for soft and chewy brown sugar cookies was also on my news feed.

News about Prince Philip is also there.  The hard stuff about: coronavirus trends, Derek Chauvin’s trial, the battle over infrastructure appear in CNN email, Axios reports and New York Times briefings. There’s a notice about a Trump State Dept appointee implicated in the January 6th riot. Then we go back to soft news like the iPhone 13 and the values of psyllium fiber.
