“Johns Hopkins has bet very heavily on a century and a quarter of partnership with the federal government. If the federal government decides it doesn’t want to know things anymore, that would be bad for Johns Hopkins and devastating for Maryland.”
The largest private employer in Baltimore just lost $800 million in federal contracts and grants. This recession is going to be a doozy.

In rare meeting without U.S. ally, Western army chiefs meet to show Ukraine unity
More than 30 army chiefs among Washington's closest allies met in Paris on Tuesday without their U.S. counterparts, seeking to take on more responsibility over the Ukraine war given President Donald Trump's unpredictability and rapprochement with Moscow.

I'm glad this little tip resonated with lots of people.
I do want to clarify a couple of things.
1) I meant this tip for people who actually have ADHD. Not in that way that people sometimes use it informally to just talk about forgetting or being a little scatterbrained.

ADHD protip. You know how you get a notification 10 minutes before your meeting? You should probably add another one for 1 minute before the meeting. Some of us know it takes way less than 10 minutes to get distracted and end up being late. The second 1 minute notif means "no for real, right now" 😅
