This looks sick, but old Ryan Field at 11 a.m. when it’s 40 degrees and raining and there’s 729 people in the crowd — aka “The Library” — will always be the hardest place to play in America.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.
Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-multimed…

Peak bloom and near-perfect weather 🌸
CWG’s Kevin Ambrose (@dcstormchaser) captured the cherry blossoms Thursday under what he says were some of the best conditions he’s seen in 23 years.
"In my 23 years of photographing cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, it featured the best weather that I can remember for peak bloom," Ambrose said. "The temperature was in the 70s with a pleasant breeze that was followed by a nice sunset. The crowd was heavy but I've seen much worse in past years, especially on weekend days."
Take a look at some of Kevin’s standout shots from around the Tidal Basin.

Working in social in newsrooms means you get to read basically everything that publishes for your job. 2.5 years at the Post, I read thousands of stories by the people laid off yesterday. Most I’ve never met. They all feel like friends who helped me understand the world.

Hundreds of our members have been laid off without rhyme or reason. Those who remain are reeling. One of our own started this GoFundMe. If you are inclined, feel free to share or donate. gofund.me/f0f6a0b8d

Think about this today.
If it weren't for the Washington Post sports department,
Dan Snyder would probably still be the owner of the Washington Redskins/Commanders.
Let that sink in.
Local sports journalism is impactful and it matters.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

This might be Josh Allen's best chance at a Super Bowl.
It might also be his hardest.
