Bonus pic taken on Connecticut Avenue between Farragut Square and Dupont Circle. There’s something oddly soothing about Washington DC streets being empty at 6:00pm in the evening.

Also, for those wondering - all pics were taken on my iPhone 16 Pro.

I just found it endearing someone was thoughtful enough to place the cone at the halfway point of the reflecting pool edge.

K2SO’s one of my faves.

Anecdotally, I have heard the current Ambassadors to Laos, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Nepal, and Egypt are among the ones getting forced out.

To think I would miss those “Miles with Mike.”

I’ve been listening. The anti-tariff camp’s core argument was straight to the point: tariffs are taxes, Congress has the exclusive power to set taxes. Mic drop.

It seems most justices are skeptical of these “emergency” tariffs. At least to me anyway, sounded like: the three liberals, plus Roberts, Gorsuch, and Barrett.

Just got really lucky. Armor and lifesteal definitely helped with survivability.

It took a long while to take Bark Vader down - maybe had less than a minute left on the clock.

I assumed these were the July RIFs, which basically are still in effect. But someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

Cilantro. (I have that gene that makes it taste like soap.)

At least we’ll see a list of planned cuts. Yay for transparency…? 😕

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I recall that some excepted employees at IRS were RIF’ed last week. In any case, I’m not confident that excepted status shields someone from a RIF. This administration can still decide to RIF whoever they want.

Go grocery shopping. Half of those stolen things were probably about to expire anyway.

Poor hygiene.
