NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.
Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.
It’s definitely Stockholm syndrome setting in but I feel like maybe matzoh with butter would be a fine snack year round, too?
Some of them the apps don’t really work and you need an actual physical card!
Putting numbers & data viz to the general trouble DCU has doing anything going forward.
All I'd add is that I think they've done this specifically as a damage limitation exercise. The long balls prevent a game from breaking out, that's the plan right now.
Protesters hold signs that say “Trump has gone mad” and “targeting civilians is a war crime”

Going to to be funny when the mission commander’s iPhone makes him a slideshow titled “Memories of Moon” with little fades between all his photos of the lunar surface and pushes him an alert about it on some random morning
Okay the live Moon broadcast is great
First look at the Moon and Earth together!

A goat for two zuzim? In this economy?
Mostly what I’ve learned from him is why we probably should leave military installations in Greenland alone
Paging @nealstephenson.bsky.social on why we DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT the Moon to fall apart
"... boring, officials said."
Turned out Rodman's restocked their apricot supply while I was busy looking for alternatives, and I was able to cook that dish last night with all the apricots I could have wanted (apparently it's good prepped two days ahead and then reheated)

canned dried apricots are a thing?
I finally googled to figure out what’s going on today after discovering that Target didn’t have any, either
Whole Foods in Tenleytown didn’t have any! Nor did the delivery service.
But if you know of a source for dried apricots near Farragut Square today, do let me know
Did not realize the catastrophic frost in Turkey last fall had caused a global apricot shortage until after I planned to cook this for Seder (I got some apricots but will supplement with dates)

Went to study the Haggadah with a group at my rabbi’s house tonight and came back with some semi-legible notes on the text he handed out and a pending order for a THIRD Haggadah to lead Seder from (the one everyone uses, the other one I’ll also occasionally refer to, and now this new one).
Lay’s may or may not get out of the group stage, though, if they don’t, the coach might be cooked
NEW: Friday marks 50 years of Metro service in D.C.
Since the transit system doesn’t have its own archives or museum, diehards fans have become a decentralized network of historians, transit archeologists, and keepers of the faith, @maustermuhle.bsky.social reports:
Yeah but I’ll make you pay me for premium to do that
(World exclusive idea, must credit Mike Madden)
Another day when I should be busy vibe-coding my idea for an app that doesn’t allow you to check your investment balances if the markets are down a lot and you’re more than 10 years away from retirement age
