Blacker than black? Of course!
After very dark surface covering, there is now a new dark fabric available, that is the darkest documented black fabric.
The fabric based on black bird plumage absorbs 799/800 of the light falling into it, making it deep dark. Fascinating!

Bird-of-paradise inspires darkest fabric ever made | Cornell Chronicle
The color “ultrablack” has a variety of uses, including in cameras, solar panels and telescopes, but it’s difficult to produce and can appear less black when viewed at an angle. A Cornell lab has devised a simple method for making the elusive color.

Over nearly nine months,
the lawsuit challenging Trump’s attempt to slash foreign aid funding
has ricocheted around the federal judiciary
but still has not reached a final resolution.
It has been reviewed by 21 judges,
spawned thousands of pages of filings
and lumbered forward
even after the administration dissolved the U.S. Agency for International Development,
the government office responsible for disbursing much of the contested funding.

The Monthslong Legal Battle to Save Foreign Aid
One lawsuit, underway since February, has sought to compel President Trump to honor Congress’s vision for foreign aid. It still has a long way to go.

Short day today as the worker had to leave early for some sort of appointment.
Still, the hanging rails are up inside the wardrobe, the racks are up in the closet to support the adjustable shelves in there, the fixed shelves at the side of the cupboard are up.
I thought I smelled paint for a while before he left but turns out that was "wood filler", apparently filling the holes in the natural wood?
Not sure what this frame will be. Is it the edges for a panel door? Is it the start of the windowed doors for the top cupboards? Dunno.
