brilliant! I'll be interested in how this warm spell coming impacts the blooms

curious when D.C.'s cherry trees will be in full bloom this year? i've built a statistical model and tracker page that updates daily: tinius.github.io/blossoms/

now waiting for NPS and @capitalweather.bsky.social predictions to compare

I built a free tool that shows how night-time lights have changed anywhere on Earth.

Here's how it works and why it's useful for monitoring conflict, disasters, development and growth. 👇

Years ago at the height of pandemic shutdowns I wrote a book about supply chains and why they break.

I'm not going to make any projections about what comes next but, obviously, if this war drags on, it means more inflation.

So, any other news yesterday?
Anything important?

The Rise of the Manhattan Mega-Mansion In the West Village and other historic neighborhoods, buyers are consolidating apartments and combining townhomes, a sign of New York’s allure to the ultra-rich.

We looked at where and how the ultra-rich are buying and combining two – sometimes three – adjacent townhomes to convert them into single-family housing (often featuring an elevator and a flashy central staircase.)

you're too kind!!!

Thanks if you got this far and thanks to everyone who made my time at the Post great. Please, please support the work you believe in with your attention, time and money.

AND OF COURSE @timmeko.bsky.social who is responsible for this MESS of KIND and TALENTED people in the first place. Beyond his masterworks in data viz, mapping. He's a leader who hired on the maxim "no *ssholes" He took a chance on me twice in this life — bring him onboard and the rest follows

Shelly Tan Hey, I'm Shelly Tan. I code, design, write and occasionally lock myself into an art studio to work on fine arts projects. Welcome to my website.

Shelly was brewed in the caldron of the uncanny. I dare say she’s a pop culture icon who does pop culture icons. A fantastic illustrator, developer who oozes charm on the page. shellytan.com/about.html

@lmelgar.bsky.social I will never, and can never, keep up with how fast Luis works. He’s not only got a vision for everything that will work on the page but he’s already handling the munging, scraping, and manipulation to make it plain work on a first draft. www.lmelgar.me

@alvarovalino.bsky.social Cut from the cloth of immaculate graphic design, he is exacting. He has an unmistakeable style. His minimalism can be haunting. I’m thinking of ICE arrests and deportations stories. Bring him on board if you want unforgettable pieces. www.alvarovalino.com

Inside Trump’s Golden Dome: High-stakes debate over missile-defense shield President Donald Trump’s missile defense system aims to protect the U.S. from nuclear attack, but it may destabilize global security and cost over $1 trillion.

Bill Neff: Illustration phenom, only matched by his knowledge of deep D.C. history. He is the kindest soul you will ever work with, so charmed that you’ll forget you’re drawing war machines with him on deadline. wapo.st/4qDALDb

You WANT @carsonology.bsky.social on your story from the very beginning. Carson in the room is key to your piece living. When something so technical on the page after one chat you start to believe in telepathy. There is humor & light in her work. She deserves a job where she can just own the place!

@hannahdormido.bsky.social Chit charts host, Dormidots creator, NACIS president herself! You cannot top her cartographic, design prowess. Hit CMD+Y on her artboards if you DARE. Her important and seamless map work is impossible to recreate. hannahdormido.com

Sneeze smarter, not louder: The science of a quieter sneeze At a certain point, there’s no stopping a sneeze. But doctors say there are ways to turn down the volume of an “achoo.”

@arturgalocha.bsky.social is gifted at bringing richness and humanity into his stories. An unparalleled sports reporter, he thinks his own way with wit and every piece shows it. Because of him: I’ll never sneeze again.

Why constantly checking your phone can drain your focus and memory Checking your phone 110 times a day could signal problematic use. See how smartphone habits shape daily life.

No one else can put a pen to @amayaverde.bsky.social's tight designs, informative takes. She's a systems builder, reforming our outdated illustrator templates to make our work better and easier to publish. She can also tell you if scrolling through this is harming your brain. wapo.st/4qf4wK5

We analyzed hundreds of earnings calls to see what executives really think of the economy Executives on earnings calls in late 2025 struck an increasingly optimistic tone about growth and strength even as U.S. households grew more pessimistic on the economy.

@alyssafowers.bsky.social made me the most beautiful baby blanket for my son. I should or could stop here alone. Sharp mind, dept. data extraordinaire and humble to a fault. You probably saw her inspired earnings call viz where executives' words bend based on word choice. wapo.st/4r1y4wb
