I am kind of astonished at how muted the reaction has been so far in a country were people try to get, like, gas stations declared as historic landmarks. Can we at least get Mike Johnson on camera claiming he hasn’t seen these pictures? Or doesn’t know where or what the White House is?

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

Quiz results: You are a ... Cargo Bike. "You're a utilitarian go-getter who's always prepared and ready for anything. You've got snacks, tools, and maybe a passenger or two — all packed with style. Rolling up to the big box store? No problem. You've mastered the art of bulk hauling by bike. And if a zombie apocalypse hits, you're not panicking — you're pedaling past traffic with supplies and a solid escape plan."

Lots to be sad about in 2025 but one pretty big victory is there seems to be a lot less clamshell packaging than there was in the 2010s

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

the sheer length of the Woodley Park metro escalator introduces an interesting question: how many beers can one consume while riding it's entirety?
