This is already demonstrably incorrect. And Wright isn't even dead yet.

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

A watchful D.C. resident sent me a photo of something we haven’t seen in years; water flowing down the cascading fountain at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park. NPS started work on the long-dry fountain late last year, as part of a broader project to refurbish the park.

My annual reminder that if you need to buy a window A/C this year do not simply buy the largest model you can afford. Energy Star has a sizing guide. Why do you want an AC that is sized for your room? Because an undersized A/C won't cool well and an oversized A/C will leave a space humid

If you’re having a bad day, reading about early 20th century hurricane experiences really puts things in perspective

If y’all think the astronauts are cool, can I introduce you to the Webb Telescope

Science is good. We should fund it.

SPLASHDOWN CONFIRMED! There we go, for the first time in over half a century, humanity has reached the Moon and safely returned. A small step in a journey of a thousand miles. Congratulations to the crew, NASA, and everyone involved 🍾

Exclusive: The CDC delayed a report showing covid-19 vaccines reduced emergency visits and hospitalizations in healthy adults by half. The move raises concerns about the Trump administration downplaying vaccine benefits. https://wapo.st/4sZ3ZOt

When Charlie Blackwell-Thompson gave the final "go" for Artemis I, she became the 1st woman to launch a mission to the Moon. 33 yrs at NASA led to that moment. She keeps a tiny plastic “umbrella ring” as a good‑luck charm in her pocket on launch days. #WomenInHistory #WomenInSTEM shorturl.at/L5OU6

This makes me think priority number one for the next Dem Congress/President should be a campaign of vengeance designed to make the decision to reverse away from EVs an absolutely disastrous one.

E-bikes are one of the most amazing innovations of the 21st century, with enormous potential for Americans to save money, reduce pollution, and get healthier, so it makes total sense that they are in no way part of the high gas price discussion

New study finds the current heat wave in the West would be "virtually impossible" without human-caused climate pollution. We're on the verge of breaking an all-time March heat record for the US today/tmrw. www.cnn.com/2026/03/20/w...

Astonishing: The hits keep coming! 112 today near Yuma, AZ (and 3 other sites) breaks US March heat record set yesterday. And breaks the former US March heat record by 4°F. #heatwave

Threads is pretty bleh, but on the positive side, every once in a while Spike Lee will show up in an artist's mentions and offer to buy their work, which is pretty cool
