Winter Storm Warnings have been hoisted for the Berkshires, southern VT and Litchfield County CT for Saturday night into Sunday morning for snow, moderate to heavy at times... the rest of WMass, CMass and northern CT is likely to populate next... SWNH is usually last in line...

Snow good, ice bad! Agree!! Let it snow!! 🙏🏻

Good idea. More of this.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

That’s a chilling thought.

2025 tip: are you watching TikTok all day and freaking out because you didn’t repaint your living room in leopard spots while spinning your own wool while going in a fitness journey while fridgescaping all while developing a totally original personal style. Fuck that noise. Do less.

We grew up with these at our Christmas Eve table in Georgia. They were delicious and considered a delicacy. We sometimes took a jar back home to Massachusetts, where they were reserved for special meals. We could only have one per meal so they’d last longer. Will definitely be making these. 🎄

The cancer funding for kids seems like a no-brainer. What’s Elon and the GOP got against that? Holy cow. 🤯

Welp that bill failed so maybe we can get the pediatric cancer funding back? Would be nice, imho.

@stevenrsinger.bsky.social Hey, Steve! What’s your top gadget pick for this holiday season? I still use and have since gifted several of the Ember mugs. One of my favorite gifts I’ve received. ☕️ #gadgetguru
