Photos from my visit yesterday to the Renwick Gallery (about a 10 minute walk to the White House). Effective crime prevention? Nope. Effective performative militarization of public space? Yep. How Trump’s Yearlong ‘Takeover’ of Washington Has Changed the Capital www.nytimes.com/2026/08/10/u...

Photos of metal barricades and rows of police SUVs on the sidewalk in front of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution.

Photo of metal barriers and yellow tape blocking pedestrian access to the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Ave. in front of the Renwick Gallery. The signs on two barriers, placed a few feet apart say “Restricted Area Do Not Enter.” The whole street block of Pennsylvania Ave. is also inaccessible.

Orla today — before the rain sent her scrambling to the closet in the bedroom. She *does not* like a downpour in a house with a metal roof. #CatsOfBluesky #EveryDayIsCaturday

Orla, who is a Siamese kitty with the bluest eyes, sits on the kitchen countertop looking back at me as I snap her picture. She is sitting in front of an iPad.

“We appreciate your understanding that we’re going to keep sending you marketing spam disguised as account-related communications whether you like it or not.” I don’t know how TIAA stays in business. I guess a lot of higher ed and nonprofit employees are basically their hostages.

Spam email footer: “Thank you for being a TIAA client. This is a servicing communication being sent to you in accordance with your TIAA account regardless of your communication preferences. We appreciate your understanding.“
