Sunday: 9:30 AM – 9:30 PM

Location 51 Main St, Tarrytown, NY 10591 -- also discussion of who the Croton LLC principals are....No point in discussing the rest since the village never opted out and the pot shop seems inevitable; we'll leave it to those on social media

CORNELL LAB--THE DEFINITIVE BIRD INFO SITE---JOIN OUR NEW STUDY ON PLASTICS IN BIRD NESTS

Have you ever seen a piece of a plastic grocery bag woven into a robin’s nest? Or perhaps a section of fishing line woven into the lining of a catbird nest? Increasingly, birds are integrating anthropogenic materials into their nests—but does using these materials matter? Plastic items may pose an entanglement risk, or they may make certain nests more visible to predators. On the other hand, there may be some benefits that are influencing birds’ selection of these materials. You can help us investigate potential relationships between plastics in nests and reproductive success. READ MORE AT Join Our New Study on Plastics in Bird Nests - NestWatch

JACOB SIEGEL--HOW CENSORHIP SEIZED AMERICA--BIG TECH DID THE GOVERNMENT'S BIDDING

Jacob Siegel--Apr 10 2026 - 12:01am --BEHIND PAYWALL

In Joe Biden’s presidency, two great forces pushed the information state to the limits of its power. The first came from the administration’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The second came from its decision to use the arsenal of counterinsurgency against American citizens accused of domestic extremism. Both relied on the vast public-private apparatus of censorship and surveillance, originally built to combat foreign disinformation, to wage political battles at home.

The pandemic dumped jet fuel into the growing counter-disinformation machine while extending its controls into the physical world. .......The senseless cruelty of preventing people from attending outdoor weddings and visiting sick relatives in their final moments. The images of authorities in New York City placing locks on children’s playgrounds.....more at How censorship seized America

UNITING NYS NEWSLETTER---HOCHUL'S PENSION DEAL

Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly negotiating a $1.5 billion pension deal that would lower the retirement age for public workers to 55 and reduce their contribution rates.

Here’s the breakdown:

--$835.9 million to lower the retirement age
--$593 million to reduce employee contributions

And who pays?  The costs are passed down to local governments and school districts, meaning YOU ultimately foot the bill.

Recognizing Early Signs: A Parent's Guide to Detecting Vision Issues in Children

April 9, 2026

Raising a child is a journey of constant observation, where small behaviors can carry big significance. As parents, we often notice our children squinting at the TV or holding books unusually close to their faces, and yet these moments may pass without deeper scrutiny. While such habits might seem like mere quirks, they could actually be subtle indicators of underlying vision issues.
