Concurrently DC friends (and any other weather nerds out there!): It’s been a long time coming, but the Capital Weather Gang has split from the Washington Post and is now just Capital Weather. This is the easiest and potentially best $8/month (or $75/year) you will ever spend. Go support them now!

Equal parts social commentary, poignant, and hilarious– I’m going to miss this show. 📺 Jordon Wadlington https://jordon.me/2026/06/01/hacks-season-best-if-you.html The Sheep Detectives: loved it, but kept wondering: who was this made for?
