Just a quick reminder that Trump ostensibly launched this war because he was unable to negotiate a deal very much like the one he blew up just to spite Obama.

Trump's despotism extends to DC golf courses He views the entire world as a private club he owns and profits from.

New in PN: Trump's despotism extends to DC golf courses

"The withdrawal of opportunities for public recreation goes hand in hand with Trump’s larger program of dismantling public services and core components of the welfare state."

I am The Post’s β€˜federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal. One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources β€” and nearly broke her.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

The Segway did revolutionize work for meter maids and tour guides, however. Much less strain on the feet.

I'm old enough to remember when they hyped the Segway as our first real step into the future.

β€˜Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there. β€œTake On Me,” the 1980s synth-pop hit song from the band A-ha, marks 40 years of global ubiquity even while personal disputes have chilled the Norwegian trio.

40 years ago, three Norwegians turned a homemade melody into a pop revolution.

β€œTake on Me” fills dance floors and still earns a formidable income for A-ha.

The Post caught up with the 80s band to discuss the song’s unexpected afterlife.

NBD just a DC resident here living in one of the richest nations in the world getting some food assistance (I'm also a furloughed USDA employee).

But a sincere thank you to DCs Freshfarm Freshmatch produce assistance program. Can't wait to make some yummy and nutritious Caldo Verde soup.

WIRED led the way in reporting on Elon Musk's efforts to dismantle the US government. My colleagues and I spoke to 100s of employees at dozens of agencies to understand what happened.

This is the definitive story of DOGE as told by those who experienced it

I ran a very maritime D&D Next campaign in an archipelago but used some rules and resources from the Pathfinder Skull & Shackles series. It worked well!
