April's dance begins with warmth,
Sunshine kisses the earth awake,
Flowers peek through soft soil,
Colors bursting in joyful delight.

But the sky has secrets to share,
Clouds gather, dark and heavy,
A chill whispers through the air,
Spring's laughter turns to shivers.

Suddenly, snowflakes swirl,
Gentle and soft, like tiny dancers,
They blanket the blooms in silence,
A surprise in the middle of spring.

Sleet taps on windowpanes,
A mix of rain and icy sparkles,
The warmth hides beneath layers,
As nature plays her unpredictable game.

Yet through the cold, hope remains,
For soon the sun will return,
The flowers will lift their heads again,
In April's ever-changing embrace

Some people, when confronted with an authoritarian government, think “I know, I’ll inform on my personal enemies.” Now they have two problems.

Kaia and @jesse were some of the first people out of the gate to try something insanely ambitious: crowdfunding consumer electronics. I bought one of their first keyboards and followed their journey, dealing with international supply chains in a two-person company

Maybe one day we are going to look back on the 2010s and marvel at how we’d made an economic system that could just barely do that

Anyway, here they outline what the tariffs are going to mean for them

Washington DC is not a city of many notable inclines, and so lacks the proliferation of "step streets" found in places like Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and The Bronx. Most famous are Georgetown's Exorcist Steps (so named for the fatal effect they have on members of that profession), and, shown here, Kalorama's Spanish Steps, which occupy 22nd St NW between S and Decatur.

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.
