Before @PunchbowlNews and @JakeSherman write the NDAA’s obit, a history lesson: FY96 was signed Feb 10. FY08, Jan 28. FY06, FY11 and FY13 also slipped into Jan. Congress has missed plenty of deadlines without missing an NDAA.
@vkhosla @nealkhosla @ninakix @Seahawks Ever been to an English match? Away fans get their own section. I was a season ticket holder. My seats never improved, but apparently the 49ers faithful had no trouble upgrading. The 12s deserve a home-field advantage, not a timeshare.
Wondering if anyone ever told @CalRaleighsDump he looks just like a WV coal miner (attending the big game) today). @WestVirginiaU @WVUfootball
Scott Novak’s crew called a season-high 27 penalties in Packers-Jets. Now 28 in Seahawks-Chargers with 4 minutes left. This is no way to ref a game. It’s gone against both teams. Sloppy reffing for sure. @NFLOfficiating @NFLFootballOps @NFL @AndrewCatalon @RealLoganRyan

ABC’s main camera shots of the Ohio State vs. Texas game have the color saturation all fucked up. They heavily desaturated and toned down the green. The “grass” looks gray. The color on the uniforms are also muted. But when they switch to other angles, everything looks normal. 🙄

“Well *I’m* not going to bring up that the mother of his children is his second cousin” is 10/10
Would Troy Jackson be a tougher opponent than Graham Platner?
Sen. Susan Collins argued the two have “different vulnerabilities” but took aim at Jackson’s record on electric rates and his family ties.

Feels like a moment for the @RepairCoalition to go to work.
Quick work being done on clearing out the gas station at 15th and U St NW. Company called darkhorseinc.net scrapping some metal this AM. @PoPville

I can’t stand TMZ… but them setting up shop in Washington, DC to follow politicians might be the most glorious thing I’ve ever seen. Just wait—staffers and interns are about to start cashing in left and right, dropping receipts for a quick payday. This could get ugly fast. Oof.

❗️@SecScottBessent tells @SemaforBen at @Semafor World Economy that an executive order requiring banks to collect citizenship info is “in process.”
“And I don’t think it’s unreasonable, because: Why don’t we have information on who’s in our banking system? I have a place in the UK; they want to know who lives in every apartment.”
Just another day in the PNW
Puget Sound / Olympia, Washington area (Eld Inlet), where two massive ''Steller sea lions'' decided to take over a small sailboat while someone was out fishing.
These two look like large adult males (or one big male and a large female). Together, that's like 10 big men casually lounging on a small sailboat — no wonder it's sitting so low in the water and listing to one side!
For comparison: A typical male California sea lion (the ones you see at piers in California) is much smaller: ~300 kg / 660 lb. on average, max around 350–400 kg.

Artemis II is 170K+ miles from Earth today.
But yesterday, Pilot Victor Glover was asked if he had any thoughts leading up to Easter.
His response is worth listening to.
And his advice is worth internalizing in advance of a difficult year ahead.
So predictable.
The viral, much-anticipated @Polymarket “Situation Room” is not going as planned.
Due to a power issue, most of the TVs aren’t working.
This globe is, though.
