also, who could have possibly predicted that the damage was all the result of flawed installation except anyone with eyes?
Scott MacFarlane@macfarlanenews.bsky.social · 5d agoFLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
charging someone with a crime and then doing the investigating is not exactly a sound tactic
Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”@ryanjreilly.com · 5d agoBREAKING: The Trump administration has moved to drop its felony Reflecting Pool case against a former Olympic canoeist, admitting their allegations against David "Davey" Hearn don't hold water.
It was such a joy to work on this with Steven and friends — and a reminder of how delightful technology can be when it's physically manifested in an artful, thoughtful way.

counterpoint: don’t require folks to come into the office (for jobs that can be done remotely) on hot af days
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d agoIn @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The man who wears shorts to the office is telling everybody that he wants to be somewhere else,” David Coggins writes. “The fact that he really does want to be somewhere else does not excuse this.”
it has made its way to NYC. it’s so good, you guys.
Steven Rich@datab.ae · 6d agoi built my first thing in the woodshop in a minute and holy shit i cannot wait to show it to you all
there is a reason i spent so much time on the @ire.org board of directors studying and (successfully) pushing for a stronger conference code of conduct.
Olivia Messer@oliviamesser.bsky.social · 6d ago43% of women surveyed said they experienced unwelcome sexual advances or harassment from a colleague or editor (6% of men). I don’t think most of our industry understands how much impact this has on newsgathering. A predator makes editorial decisions like a predator. www.ire.org/2026/07/30/f...

spent more time in the woodshop today than i have in a long while. needed it more than i realized.
