Tariffs just got real: our first $36K bill with 125% + 20% + 25% markup hits hard 💸. These are upfront costs - due before selling a single unit - causing serious cash flow strain, price increases, read more! 📦 adafruit.com/tariffbill

OSU’s Open Source Lab has a shortfall of funding ($250k) that if they don’t raise, means the lab will be shutdown. Federal grants are a cluster right now and big donors might come through but in the interim, if you can donate or appeal to your company to donate, plz do! osuosl.org/blog/osl-fut...

Top Secret is my favorite movie from childhood. I know he went off the reservation but early Kilmer could be my wingman any day.
Breaking News: Val Kilmer, who got his big-budget start in “Top Gun” and went on to portray Jim Morrison and Batman, has died at 65.
Val Kilmer, Film Star Who Played Batman and Jim Morrison, Dies at 65
A wide-ranging leading man who earned critical praise, he was known to be charismatic but unpredictable. At one point he dropped out of Hollywood for a decade.

The last #FIRSTRobotics #FRC regular events are running this weekend and the team is watching others play to see if we qualify for MidAtlantic district finals. Here's hoping the probabilities align in our favor.

I watched Xyla Foxlin's reporting on her experience as a hobby pilot being stripped of her privilege for medication side effects (and for being a woman). Thank you @pilotmentalhealth.bsky.social for your advocacy. I will feel safer flying when this is fixed. #psychology #pilots youtu.be/aj0H8oVS7qg
