Waiting on Elbow with @seriousllama.bsky.social at the 930!

😭😭😭

Probably one of the most truthful things she has ever uttered.

Let me tell you this is a FANTASTIC time to be renovating your house

Me, practicing my defensive walking:

Won’t somebody please think of the drivers?

I can confirm that Ft Slocum and the Fort Circle Parks have barely seen a mower all year. I can also confirm this is not just a 2025 problem. If it isn’t the National Mall, mowing is not a priority for NPS.

NEWS: @brianneknadeau.bsky.social says she will *not* be running for re-election to the Ward 1 seat on the D.C. Council, setting the stage for what is already looking to be a crowded and competitive race.

Speed cameras work, which is why people hate them.

So, just to confirm I am understanding properly: Some number of gun deaths are acceptable under the 2nd Amendment, but no amount of commentary about a deceased podcaster is acceptable under the 1st?

We’ve really got to move past the “if the President says it we have to amplify it”-style of journalism. This is particularly true of the wildly unhinged conspiracies spewed by the least intellectually curious President of the modern era.

Saturday, fun day

Where in DC?

The problems with traveling across town in DC, exemplified in one trip.

Waiting on Budos and the Alabama Shakes

Yes definitely consult the tool that thinks the letter R appears in Alabama, and thinks you grind up a pear for a Korean steak sauce, for a second opinion on a major medical diagnosis.

31 Democrats voted to erode local governance in my city to align themselves with a party whose leaders is underwater by double digits on every major issue.

Happy 62nd birthday to musician, actor and radio presenter Jarvis Cocker - mainly known as the founder and frontman of the band Pulp. AND playing live tomorrow night here in Minneapolis! 🇬🇧

Yeah, this ain’t it.

This super great having your local affairs intruded upon by people you cannot vote for who do not care about you, don’t live here, have no interest in learning how your city functions, and are happy to use your home as a punching bag to score political points for their ignorant voters.

Shoutout to the OG SmartBike crew

Good morning from Petworth, where we are finally kicking the gloomy weather this morning.

Realizing that in 30-40 years, there are going to be entire sections of history textbooks focused on “The Kimmel Affair”.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

NEWS: The D.C. Council just passed an emergency bill allowing anyone to get a COVID-19 vaccine without a doctor's prescription, which have been requested recently due to changes in federal vaccine recommendations. (And some D.C. residents have had to go to Maryland or Virginia.)

It’s wild to be living in the absolute stupidest timeline, and to know that only like 10% of the country is even vaguely aware that most of what’s happening is taking place.

This is so enraging. Who the hell even is this guy? Just some rando walking around a school brandishing a weapon. The people responsible for this should all be in prison.

You’re doing great guys. A+. You should feel proud.

Congressional Democrats voted today to sell out Washington DC and their constituents, as numerous Dems backed bills advancing the Trump takeover of DC. After meeting with our Council and saying nice things, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and leadership *declined* to whip a No vote on the bills

An all-time low approval rating despite having the legacy media boosting him and no real organized opposition party.

This week the House will vote on four bills attacking DC. Nine more are in the works. No one in DC wants these measures. They will not support our safety. We want every Democrat to VOTE NO on all of these bills. Make calls today and tomorrow to 30 priority reps: freedcproject.org/news/make-ca...

This was how Bezos buying the WaPo was sold to readers: A man of unlimited means, investing significant sums in one of the nation’s premier legacy media outlets to attract and retain the highest quality talent. That opportunity still exists, if anyone wants to grab it.

It is difficult to get certain pundits to understand something, when their salaries depend on them not understanding it.

I am beginning to question how committed Jeff Bezos actually is to the whole “personal liberties” thing.

Treating their presence and purpose as seriously as is warranted.

The last few boxes you pack inevitably lead to some strange bedfellows.

It’s setting up to be a big day here at the email farm.

New Mexico so green this year beautiful

I’ve been a near-daily transit rider in DC for 20+ years, and can count on one hand the number of times I’ve felt concerned for my safety on it. Meanwhile, I witness horrifying, reckless driving behavior daily on our streets. These things are in no way commensurate.

I'm sick and tired of all the political content on here, so today's Low Quality Ad is for this shirt showing free sandwiches being given out in Washington DC. Wow, what a deal that would be. collabs.shop/fhiz8a

<goose meme> An activist for what?

Oh my, this rips.

A glass of Hefeweizen on the bar and Blue Monday on the speakers is a pretty good Friday evening.

I am trying to remember what we all posted about in the Before Times when the wheels hadn’t come off yet and everything wasn’t falling apart.

Art All Night kicks off tonight! 🎸💃🏽🎨 One of #Ward4 and DC’s best events of the year is a great opportunity to enjoy local art, music, and culture, and show your support for our local businesses and Main Streets. Check out the full lineup of events ➡️ dcartallnight.org
