And tragically, once a center like this is gone, it’s hard to imagine it popping up somewhere else in these NIMBY times.

Anyway that's why the article doesn't mention that the problem was caused by DOGE: because it was not, in fact, caused by DOGE but began 2 years before they were able to fuck around.

It's name is National and I will not waver on this
DC residents have been refusing to call that airport anything but National for almost thirty years, we certainly can refuse to call that arts center anything but the Kennedy Center for three

Great bit of accidental truth from the Netflix boxing commentary: “Speaking of stools, here’s Dave Portnoy.” I agree. He is a piece of shit.

As it's Christmas, don't forget of the many worthy and struggling causes that could use a small donation at this time of year.
For instance, just £2 a month could help support one of David Walliams' ghostwriters during this difficult time.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

政府高官「日本は核保有すべき」 高市政権下では「困難」とも：時事ドットコム
政府高官は１８日、記者団に対し、「日本は核（兵器）を保有すべきだ」と発言した。日本を取り巻く安全保障環境が厳しさを増す中、独自の抑止力を強化する必要があるとの文脈で語った。一方、政治的コストが高く、国民的議論も熟していないことから、高市政権下での核政策見直しは「難しい」とも指摘した。

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.
