Breaking news: The lining of the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool peeled in at least seven places along seams that were created when the material was applied, indicating likely problems in how it was installed, according to experts and a Post analysis.
Reflecting Pool peeling likely caused by application flaws, experts say
President Donald Trump has blamed vandals, but a Washington Post analysis finds that the peeling tracks closely with stages of the renovation process.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

“The Beast" is the nickname for the heavily armored, fortified car used by POTUS . Weighing btwn 15k and 20k pounds (7-9 tons), the car features military-grade armor plating 8” thick—essentially a military tank disguised as a luxury limousine” The dumb shit drove this on a curing reflecting pool

Gary Larson cartoon incident
_____________
In 1987 Gary Larson published a Far Side cartoon of two chimpanzees grooming, in which one discovers a blonde hair and says, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[127] The Jane Goodall Institute called the cartoon an "atrocity" in a letter drafted by its lawyers to Larson and his syndicate. Goodall, who was in Africa at the time, later found the cartoon amusing.[128]
She went on to name it her favourite depiction of herself in pop culture.[129] Larson offered profits from sales of a shirt featuring the cartoon to the Jane Goodall Institute.[130]
Goodall wrote the preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy.[131] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals.
In 1988 Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania.[128] While there, he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.[127][132]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdtwslusias4dnfmqydvudsq/bafkreiab4xelozcgki2mm2n3wwq5vdhbvve7v76enl6wbonavz6gjc2p7u)

If you're the kind of sicko who'd like to see shots of several different crowds of New Yorkers booing the president, this video is for you. (Watches for a third time.)

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.
I don’t usually say watch videos but the payoff is worth it.

/23 Responsibility is not a zero-sum game. It can be held by several people without diminishing anyone’s share. The administration set the tone here and gave the marching orders. It also started sending inexperienced dipshits to do grown-up jobs in politically motivated cases.
Milwaukee, 20 years ago today Robert Wyland’s whale mural is torn down along with the Courthouse annex. Wyland graciously offered to paint a new mural elsewhere instead, but County Executive Scott Walker asked him to *pay* Milwaukee County to do it. Wyland’s reaction is below.
