Android devices, iPhones, iPads, and many websites might have the latest emoji, but Windows 11 still hasn’t caught up. Thankfully, that might finally change soon, as Microsoft is once again testing Emoji 16.0 support. The Unicode 16 standard was released in September 2024, which also included an updated list of cross-platform emoji, known as Emoji 16.0. The update added emoji for Fingerprint, Leafless Tree, Root Vegetable (resembling a radish), Harp, Shovel, and Splatter. It also includes “Face with Bags Under Eyes,” which perfectly represents how I’m feeling so far about 2026. Back in September 2025, Microsoft was testing Emoji 16.0…

Flock contracts have quietly spread to cities across the country. But Flock ALPR (Automated License Plate Readers) erode civil liberties from the moment they’re installed. While officials claim these cameras keep neighborhoods safe, the evidence tells a different story. The data reveals how Flock has enabled surveillance of people seeking abortions, protesters exercising First Amendment rights, and communities targeted by discriminatory policing. This is exactly why cities are saying no. From Austin to Cambridge to small towns across Texas, jurisdictions are rejecting Flock contracts altogether, proving that surveillance isn’t inevitable—it’s a choice.
