I just can't even. I mean, I seriously have a lot of respect for the White House History Quarterly, but the irony hits hard. The Historical Association apparently has *nothing to say* about the destruction of the East Wing (some of the comments on its Facebook page are. . . choice).

Goodbye little friend. You served me well for nearly four decades. My dad thought the oven in my first apartment wasn't safe and bought you as a gift for me. If my next toaster oven is as faithful, it will last until I’m 92 years old! #TheEndOfAppliances

And now, over to the subreddit for federal workers, where people are discussing RTO orders and this thread entitled 'Assigned the lawn as my office space' (this from someone going by olle7691):

I mean, I am a wee little nobody in the publishing world, and I'm in here three times? One of these is the dissertation version of the book. Cc @scottlgreer.bsky.social

I am often told that I work too late and that I should get a car. Well. . . this is what I saw when I was walking home last night. Location = bridge over the Lehigh River; in the distance (first photo) you see the old Bethlehem Steel furnaces, decorated with purple lights. Stunning aurora borealis.

@chuckwendig.bsky.social Hi Chuck! Delighted when I spotted Black River Orchard in the library of an ocean liner, as we cruised at 25 knots over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. (sorry for the shininess in the image). It was an impressively large, well-stocked library, too. Your book is AFLOAT ON THE SEAS
