Politico: Algae resurfaces in reflecting pool after multimillion-dollar fixes

The reflecting pool construction project started in April and work was completed last week as part of President Donald Trump’s sprawling plan to spruce up the capital ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary

🚨 BREAKING: Internal Interior Department and National Park Service documents reportedly show bubbles, pinholes, and uneven blue coating emerging during Trump's rushed Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation.

The stated purpose of the project was to stop leaks.

But officials reportedly documented defects in the waterproofing layer itself:

• Bubbles and trapped air
• Pinholes and small holes
• Uneven, mottled blue coating
• Sections requiring rework

That's not just an aesthetic issue.

Pinholes and blistering are exactly the kinds of defects that can compromise a waterproofing system and shorten its lifespan.

The administration sold this as a fast, beautiful fix.

The documents reportedly show crews scrambling to correct quality problems while racing to meet a politically driven deadline.

A project intended to stop leaks was reportedly battling defects in the leak-prevention layer before it was even finished.

Two Scottish lads full sprint for a pint and Mack turns it into a bus stop demolition derby.

Tullibody’s St. Serfs FC’s, Mack, came away from the incident unscathed and managed to play a full game. However, he now has acquired the new nickname, Bus Stop! ⚽️

How many pints do you think were involved before the race? 😂

@smerconish Let’s be very clear. It’s not just the US hosting this. It’s 3 countries. Canada, Mexico and US.

Makes sense to me.

Not surprisingly, the law the NCAA ignored for so many years has now come home to roost. When its institutional ashes are all that remains, the NCAA will be remembered as an organization that was destroyed by its leadership’s greatest enemies: ego, arrogance, and a stubborn unwillingness to change even in the face of inevitable self-destruction.

@JessicaTarlov @realLauro5 I agree this is about change and Susan does vote with trump a majority of the time.

However, after everything that has come out he is not that change agent.

Don’t you remember watching Mike Ditka? He is credited as being the first official pro tight end.

While I was briefly back in the US, I was disheartened by how many would say "oh is that still going on?" when referring to the war in Ukraine.

It was incredibly frustrating for me especially as an active duty medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At that point its just willful ignorance. Everyone has a cellphone, laptop, tablet, etc. Information is literally at your finger tips. But instead of informing oneself properly, the choice seems to be watching AI slop, mainstream media, and other short attention span apps.

The was is not over, it has not slowed down, we are still working and fighting for freedom in Ukraine, the frontline is still 1000 km long, civilians are still being killed by r*ssia every day. We can only go so far to inform you. The rest is up to you. Up to date sources, @KyivIndependent @KyivPost @saintjavelin @U24_gov_ua

Stay informed and inform others.

This man has no interest in governing.

All he wants to do is talk about his ballroom. His arch. His pool. His revenge on his enemies. His deportations

He has no time for creating and submitting legislation to help the poor. The children.

Always the worst

In June 2000, Robin Williams sat down for a conversation with George Lucas for Robin's brief weekly interview show on audible. The episode was originally thirty minutes but below you'll find the entire raw recording from two different sessions, with discussions ranging from Marlon Brando as Jabba the Hutt, to Lucas asking if Robin would voice a CG Howard the Duck for a special edition of the '86 movie 👏 Really cool
