Damn, New Jersey…
“Panic is the appropriate response to the passage and signing of a new law in New Jersey that requires all e-bike riders 17 and older to have driver’s licenses, registration and insurance (which may not even be available and proof of which they must carry with them while riding) and wear a state-approved motorcycle helmet.”

Amid panic following terrible New Jersey law regulating all e-bikes as mopeds, some look to remove throttles from e-bike definition
Under New Jersey law, most of these people would be riding motorcycles. Panic is the appropriate response to the passage and signing of a new law in New Jersey that requires all e-bike riders 17 an…

"Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him.

Tree planting can combat urban heat, but some neighborhoods are falling behind
Sydney communities may be missing out on crucial tree planting projects intended to combat urban heat, leaving western and eastern parts of Greater Sydney with less protection from extreme heat, a University of Sydney-led study has revealed. In a surprising finding, the researchers found that while Greater Sydney's total tree canopy increased by 4.2% from 1.514 billion square meters to 1.578 billion square meters between 2016 and 2022, this growth was not evenly distributed.

A rare daylight #fireball coming with a loud bang was seen and heard Tuesday morning over the U.S. and Ohio in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHBjApk3d6w - see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/ for links to many more reports. And https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/events/windfall-oh says: "Signatures of falling meteorites are seen in data from three weather radars [...] NASA Meteoroid Environment Office finds that this was a 2m diameter object weighing around 6 metric tons - more of a small asteroid than a large meteoroid. [...] There are meteorites on the ground around Windfall, OH towards River Styx, OH."
