Edit: Here's a compilation of all the Cleveland bath gags.

Once I got the first set of rails mounted, it was a bit easier since I could anchor them to that. But the first set, whew, it was all I could do to hang onto my tools and/or parts. This is despite anchoring my backpack full of tools/materials. Backpack was just not reachable when I was doing the bottom and middle mounts.

Only got one rail (5 panels) installed today. Spent a lot of time going up/down retrieving dropped tools, getting random stuff I didn't think I'd need, and struggling to not fall off the roof myself. I get vertigo easily, so this is proving to be more challenging than I thought. Two more rails (10 panels) left to install, but that's a tomorrow problem.

Yes, they're intentionally off-center on the mounts for spacing reasons. Also, yes, I blurred out my house because apparently you can just feed these to a tool that can identify my location. God I hate the internet.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday cancelled plans to sign bipartisan housing legislation in a fit of pique over Republican senators’ refusal to blow up their chamber’s rules to pass his voter ID bill.

The president had been set to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in a rare Capitol signing ceremony at noon on Wednesday before attending a Senate Republican Steering Committee lunch.

But with less than an hour remaining until he was scheduled to leave the White House, he took to Truth Social to announce that the ceremony was “hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT.”

Wroth mentioning: the housing bill is veto-proof.

The Kennedy Center had until June 12 at midnight to strip the president’s name from the building, but construction crews in hard hats and neon green high-vis vests only started to assemble scaffolding to reach the letters that afternoon.

That midnight deadline came and went without any letters removed from the building.

Cooper and a panel of appeals court judges denied the administration’s 11th-hour attempts to keep Trump’s name on the facade, and workers began adding a tarp to the towering scaffolding shortly after 1 a.m..

Workers eventually began removing letters at 3 a.m. June 13.

But the scaffolding and tarp are still in place.

Do you host your own ML / AI / LLM? What do you use, and what do you use it for?

A trove of internal records from a secret society for powerful figures in US politics, finance, and tech was left exposed online, WIRED has confirmed, naming participants in its events and revealing sensitive personal details they were assured would stay private.

The group, called Dialog, is a private, invitation-only organization cofounded in 2006 by the billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel. It convenes US officials, foreign government figures, and Silicon Valley executives at off-the-record annual retreats. Dialog has spent two decades declining to disclose its members.

A directory in the website's code was first revealed by the Swiss hacktivist maia arson crimew. Known for exposing the US government’s No Fly List and breaching the surveillance-camera company Verkada, crimew tells WIRED the directory surfaced via an anonymous tip. WIRED independently verified its contents.

A source separately provided WIRED with the registration list for Dialog's 2026 retreat, which names 222 people and records what the list describes as each registrant's membership status and attendee type, including “active member” and “guest.” The retreat is scheduled for August 12-16 at a venue near Dublin, Ireland.
