The privately funded National Trust for Historic Preservation last week asked the U.S. District Court to block Trump’s project.
“No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever
— not President Trump, not President Biden, and not anyone else,” the lawsuit states.
“And no president is legally allowed to construct a ballroom on public property without giving the public the opportunity to weigh in.”
Trump had the East W…

Trump administration says White House ballroom construction is a matter of national security
The Trump administration says in a court filing that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for unexplained national security reasons. It also says a preservationists’ organization that wants it stopped has no standing to sue. The court filing Monday was in response to a lawsuit filed last Friday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation asking a federal judge to halt President Donald Trump’s project until it goes through multiple independent reviews…

My plans to hike the Tongariro Alpine Crossing were derailed by two days of rain and high winds, so we made a plan B: the Tama lakes track, which has somewhat less exposure but still gets up over 1400m. We’re lucky we didn’t try Tongariro given how tough the conditions were at Tama lakes – driving snow and winds on the ridge. But we were rewarded with good views and improving weather on the return trip. #hiking

My favorite video game company is currently making news because they admitted to falling to AI hype and pushing it on employees even though they’ve (predictably) seen no actual benefits.
I am sad about it but, in good news, writing with a fountain pen continues to be an extreme delight.
I developed carpal tunnel nine years ago, and handwriting would always be a stolen joy in the brief moments before pain would start again. I have been feeling nearly 0 pain in the last two weeks despite filling 50 pages. I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life in a small way.

The image is a social media post showcasing a slice of what appears to be a "Baja Blast" pie from Taco Bell. The main subject is the pie itself, which has a vibrant green filling and a crust that looks like a graham cracker base. On top of the green filling are dollops of white cream, sprinkled with green zest. The pie is placed on a dark, textured surface, possibly a plate or a placemat. A black plastic fork is positioned next to the pie, suggesting it is ready to be eaten. To the left, ther…
