Good lord, besides killing tourism, there’s going to be so many stories of Native Americans being denied entry or forced to pay a ridiculous fee to go into parks that are in their own backyards.

www.nps.gov/planyourvisi...
A screenshot from the National Park Service website with the following text: Changes to Entrance Fees and Passes in 2026 Beginning January 1, 2026, changes to entrance fees and passes include: • America the Beautiful passes will cover entrance fees for up to two motorcycles. • A new America the Beautiful pass for nonresidents of the US will be available for $250. All otherAmerica the Beautiful passes will only be available to US citizens and permanent residents. • Entrance fee free days will only apply to US citizens and residents. Nonresidents will be required to pay entrance fees and applicable nonresident fees. • The following parks will have a surcharge of $100 for each nonresident of the US entering the park: Acadia National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Everglades National Park, Glacier National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Parks, and Zion National Park.

A displayed question “What’s going on?” With four answer options. It’s annoying or not interesting, I’m in this photo and I don’t like it, I think it shouldn’t be on Facebook, It’s spam. The option “I’m in this photo and I don’t like it” is selected.

Holy shit! At the moment with race calls Democrats picked up 9 seats. If this keeps trending, the VA House is going to end up with a Democrat supermajority!
Screenshot of the VPM.org website tracking the Virginia House of Delegates seats. Of the 100 hexagon tiles displayed, 60 are blue, representing Democrats. 31 are red, representing Republicans. 9 are gray, indicating seats that have not been called yet. Down the middle is a dotted line and above it reads 50 Majority.

This is seriously messed up
A screenshot of the safari browser on an iPhone at the hud.gov website with a popup with this text: “The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American”

To sum up how my day has been, I’ve quoted this once in a meeting and almost quoted it again in another meeting.

Selina and Columbo (Fr. Genevieve and Shere Khan) now love to play with their springs and teaser toys, plus hang out near us on the cat trees. They are a joy to have.

It’s thanks to @dcluckydog.bsky.social that we have these cats. Here they are just after adoption and then today.
Taken July 2024. A gray cat named Selina looking at the camera. She is sitting on the rug with her tail curved to the left. She has a red heart shaped collar tag and a small white patch on her chest. Her ears look large for her head Taken July 2024. A gray cat with some darker stripes named Columbo sits on a gray carpet and looks at the camera. He has a collar with a yellow bell on it and a light blue tag. He’s a bit skinny with very large ears for his head. Taken June 2025. A gray cat named Selina lays on a folding chair and grabs a strip of fleece fabric that is black and white. She has grown since her adoption and looks bigger in the face and body. She continues to wear the same collar with the heart shaped tag. Taken June 2025. A gray cat named Columbo lays flopped on his side on the carpet, looking at the camera with wide eyes. He has grown and filled out since his adoption. He continues to wear the same collar with the yellow bell and fish shaped tag.

A couple of weeks ago our management was telling us DOGE has not been in the building or accessing our systems.

Liars.
A screenshot from Twitter and the DOGE account that says: Besides the Census itself, the @USCensusBureau performs 102 additional surveys costing $2.2 billion, many of them obsolete with the results not being used to drive any action nor even looked at. The Census Bureau and DOGE are reviewing them one-by-one. So far, 5 wasteful surveys, totaling 493 pages of questions and $16.5M in costs, have been terminated, with questions like: - "In your entire life, have you had at least 12 drinks of any kind of alcohol, not counting small tastes or sips?" - "Was this MOSTLY regular wine, wine coolers, or fortified wine?" - "How frequently do you use the internet in your home?"

I am disappointed to read this, because it means Tucker wasn’t who we thought he was.
A screenshot of a written statement from Ravens GM Eric DeCosta: Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker. Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resilience and extraordinary talent made him one of the league's best kickers for over a decade. We are grateful for Justin's many contributions while playing for the Ravens. We sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter of their lives.

Looks like I’m gonna be very late getting home. This is at the corner of Walker Mill Road and Rochelle Avenue in District Heights. Police just turned us around and our MetroBus driver is trying to find an alternate route around the crash. V12 and P12 MetroBus routes are screwed.
Entire road blocked by police and fire engines, causing people to be forced to turn around. This is at Walker Mill Road and Rochelle Ave in District Heights, Maryland
