ICE acknowledges it is using powerful spyware In a letter sent last week, ICE's top official indicated to members of Congress the agency is using a spyware tool to intercept encrypted messages of fentanyl traffickers.

"An extremely invasive surveillance capability such as this should require the strongest judicial oversight and confirmation that such intrusion is necessary and [a] proportionate response to the crime being investigated," EFF’s @cooperq.com told @npr.org.

The President declared our country had genocidal intent, and the argument his own supporters are making in defense of it is that the genocidal threat was merely a bargaining tactic to achieve a ceasefire deal worse than the status quo before the war he started.

No part of that is acceptable.

I don't care about rumors, I want to know why he hasn't been ordered to hire a car & driver? No excuse for not giving up the keys.

Trump, and the Republicans who backed him through this latest disgrace, all spent decades pretending to believe Iranian government threats to wipe enemies off the map make Iran uniquely evil. Hope it’s clear to everyone now that they’re all the same species of scumbag.

There is no such thing as the video game industry:

New York Cannabis Tourism 2026: A Real Guide for Visitors Who Care About Quality New York has officially entered its next phase. What started as a slow rollout has turned into one of the most talked-about cannabis markets in the country. Visitors are no longer just coming for food, fashion, and culture. They are coming for legal cannabis experiences that feel different from what they find at home. From Manhattan to Brooklyn, and up through the Hudson Valley, the state offers access to licensed dispensaries, evolving product selections, and a growing presence of craft brands. But navigating it correctly matters. First Things First: Know the Basics If you are visiting New York and planning to purchase cannabis, the rules are straightforward but important. * You must be 21 or older with valid ID * Purchases must be made at licensed dispensaries * Public consumption laws exist and vary by location * Transporting cannabis across state lines is not permitted The legal market is structured, and it is still evolving. The safest and most consistent experience comes from staying within licensed channels. Not All Dispensaries Feel the Same As the number of dispensaries grows, the experience varies. Some shops focus on volume and accessibility. Others lean into curated selections and knowledgeable staff. The difference becomes clear quickly, especially for visitors who are used to more mature markets. A good dispensary experience should include: * Staff who understand products beyond THC percentage * Clear labeling and accessible lab testing * A selection that includes more than just standard flower New York is still finding its rhythm, but the better shops already stand out. What Visitors Are Actually Looking For Most travelers are not trying to experiment blindly. They want something reliable, flavorful, and easy to integrate into their trip. The most popular product categories among visitors right now include: * Vapes for portability and discretion * Infused flower for a stronger, ready-to-use option * Concentrates like bubble hash and diamond powder for more experienced users These products offer flexibility. They allow people to adjust their experience depending on the moment, whether it is walking the city, relaxing after dinner, or spending time outdoors. Why Craft Cannabis Is Gaining Attention New York’s market includes both large-scale operators and smaller craft brands. Visitors are increasingly leaning toward craft. The reason is simple. Craft cannabis tends to: * Taste better * Feel cleaner * Offer more consistent experiences * Reflect more attention to detail In a city like New York, where quality matters across every category, that difference resonates quickly. Where Silly Nice Fits In Silly Nice is a Harlem-based, Black-owned, Veteran-owned craft cannabis brand built around small-batch production and terpene-forward products. For visitors, the appeal is straightforward: * Products that feel intentional * Formats that travel well within the city * Consistency across different use cases The lineup is designed to match real-world scenarios: * Bubble Hash for full-spectrum depth without heavy processing * Frosted Hash Ball for slow, layered sessions * Diamond Powder for precise, controlled intensity * Diamond-Frosted Infused Flower for elevated, ready-to-roll options * Vapes for discreet, on-the-go use This is cannabis that fits into a trip, not something that disrupts it. Matching Cannabis to the New York Experience New York is not a one-speed city. The way you move through it changes throughout the day. Daytime Exploration * Light, controlled use * Focus on clarity and mobility * Vapes or small amounts of flower work best Afternoon Reset * Balanced products with flavor and moderate intensity * Bubble hash layered into a bowl or joint Evening Wind Down * Deeper, more relaxed sessions * Infused flower or hash ball combinations The goal is not to overdo it. It is to stay in rhythm with the city. The Hudson Valley Factor For visitors willing to go beyond the city, the Hudson Valley offers a different pace. Fresh air, open space, and a growing cannabis presence make it a natural extension of the New York experience. It is also closely connected to where much of the state’s cannabis is cultivated. Understanding that connection adds context. It shows how New York cannabis moves from cultivation to consumption. What to Watch Out For Even with legalization, there are still common mistakes visitors make. Buying from unlicensed sellers Quality and safety are not guaranteed. Focusing only on THC percentage This often leads to less balanced experiences. Ignoring freshness Older product loses flavor and effect. Over-consuming early in the trip New York requires energy. Pace matters. Avoiding these mistakes leads to a better overall experience. Why 2026 Feels Different The market has matured enough that patterns are forming. Consumers are becoming more informed. Dispensaries are refining their selections. Craft brands are gaining visibility. Visitors are noticing. New York is no longer just catching up to other states. It is starting to define its own identity in cannabis, shaped by culture, diversity, and a strong preference for quality. Final Thoughts Cannabis tourism in New York is still evolving, but it is already offering something distinct. It is not about overwhelming menus or excessive variety. It is about finding the right product, using it intentionally, and letting it complement the experience of being in the city. For visitors who care about flavor, balance, and consistency, craft cannabis stands out quickly. Silly Nice is part of that landscape. Built in New York, shaped by real experience, and focused on products that deliver without shortcuts. Before your trip, explore the menu, review the latest COAs, and plan where to find Silly Nice at a licensed New York dispensary.

New York has officially entered its next phase.
