BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Markets are tumbling, but listen to this entire thing. He is going to do this unless we mobilize. Trump plans to disappear American prisoners into that hellhole in El Salvador. Believe him when he says this.

Whenever you see the lovely suburbs around Seattle, especially Bainbridge and the wealthy Eastside, never forget they were ripped away from Japanese American fruit and flower growers.

A game you can play while out and about is "count bollards" and see what proportion of them are intended to protect property vs. protect people. Make a wager with a friend before you go out to make it more interesting.

Is anyone out there considering ditching Instagram? I can't really imagine it since so many of my photography friends are still there. I read this today, @chrisdamore.bsky.social's explanation of why he decided to log off IG. Give his piece a read and let me know what you think!

I'm guessing what Andy is getting at is the quotidian (mundane seems pejorative to me) -- and absolutely there is a place for it. Irving Penn's cigarettes are an example of an everyday item that you're forced to confront/ponder that you might otherwise ignore. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

In just over a week the United States government is going to shut down and never resume the same work again, condemning millions to suffering that has not been contemplated — let alone experienced — in generations. And Democrats are talking about how one of their members wasn’t polite enough.

Guys no offense but um - we are cats, and we're doing more to publicly oppose the current administration than some of the performative bullshit we saw last night. 💅

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file.

Guardian "pix of the day" chose this version of the presser, like the NYT, focusing on stage right. But more than Musk as in charge, this centers Miller as majordomo. The media gaggle feels all too auxiliary: the press not a counterweight but the foil for the Oval show. (📷 Abaca/Rex/Shutterstock)
