Seated in 4D and going dark-ish for IAD ✈️ DUB

<stephon-voice> check out DC’s hottest new club. It’s got people in uniforms, swamp water, sheets of American Flag Blue, and an endless supply of tourists gawking!

The fact that Elon Musk is now one of history’s greatest mass-murderers, due to his total destruction of USAID, is still far too little-known. It’s on all of us to shout this from the rooftops. Never shut up about Elon Musk’s genocidal crimes.

Welcome to DC in 2026, with a literal dumpster fire in Naylor Court to go with the figurative ones everywhere else. cc: @popville.bsky.social

Leave East Potomac Park alone! (I mean, sure, fix the seawalls and sidewalks, but don't privatize the golf course, rip down the trees, and dump your toxic east wing remains there...) thehill.com/policy/keepi...

On this morning's dog walk, neighbor introduced himself by giving me his name, not the dog's. What the fuck, "Brian"

Wondering why constitution ave is closed and there seems to be a giant wooden platform being built across it. cc: @popville.bsky.social

#Freedom250... DC's very own Fyre Fest

Because I still refuse to normalize this crap: riding my bike around the Lincoln Memorial this afternoon, I got to see roving bands of National Guard, DEA, and HSI. Thank goodness they were there to disrupt the usual open air drug market run by undocumented cartel members. What, that's not a thing?

If you see this, post a concert photo you took (cc: @kristinhersh.bsky.social)

A much needed timeline cleanse for us all. Pass it on

While this lousy administration tries to plow over our infrastructure (51st.news/trump-admini...), DC out here doing the right thing with more improvements, like the new speed cushions and paint in the lane at 14th and R I saw getting installed yesterday. cc: @popville.bsky.social

Dunno if this guy’s going old school for his pomodoro timer, or what, but I’d be less surprised seeing this in Brooklyn, as opposed to walking down a DC sidewalk! cc: @popville

Thank goodness it’s TACO Tuesday!

Guess they were serious about Logan Circle being closed, as a fence goes up around the perimeter. cc: @popville.bsky.social

Sure, yeah, this totally makes me feel safe. Why does everything this administration does to "combat anti-semitism" feel so much like anti-semitism? Could it be all the xian nationalists? Yeah, probably. (www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...)

today I came across this trading card I'd completely forgotten about. I always loved @blairbraverman.bsky.social's stories about Haricot Vert, and was quite saddened to hear about his recent passing. Run free with the rest of the Beans, Hari, and may your memory be for a blessing. #uglydogs

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

As the teams continue to arrive in Nome, the #Igivearod also continues until the red lantern arrives. So far, nearly $18,000 has been raised for Alaskan schools and other worthy charities. Check out the spreadsheet and remember, the matchy match is ongoing! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

It's hard to think about retiring from racing, because mushing is, and will always be, a huge part of my life. So I took a journey with my older dogs, who have retired themselves. They've taught me so much over the years; now, they're teaching me to live with change. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/m...

Not displeased with myself

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

@musicologyduck.bsky.social can’t speak to the current Air Force but my piano teacher circa 1980 was also the pianist in the Airmen of Note. I was a terrible student, but I guess he’s still teaching. music.gmu.edu/profiles/wbe...

The current temp of 81F in D.C. is closer to freezing than the current temp of -38F is in Fairbanks - by over 20F.

Now that the Iditarod is properly underway, it was time to start making my #Igivearod donations...for the seventh(!!) year. That just seems crazy! Join the fun at igivearod.com and make a difference in the rural communities along the trail at igivearod.com

A month after 5" of snow and 2-3" of sleet fell, and DC still has plenty to go around. Though I guess the Capitol Beautification Committee realized that a mountain of dirty snow would still be an improvement over the current majority, so that's a plus.

The Grammys.

A battle for the ages! Which mail truck will prevail‽ (hint: not the one stuck on a snowbank with its rear wheels in the air) cc: @popville

Nothing like a humvee rolling up your residential street to make you feel like you’re living through an occupation.

Gotta love a snow-day ‘spro.

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

@ataokennel.bsky.social I saw this and immediately thought of Queen Ophelia. Can't believe how long it's been since the quilling!

Rather noisy protest on Mass Ave just west of Scott Circle. Cc: @popville.bsky.social

Kristi Noem probably thought she was acting in self-defense when she murdered her puppy, so I can understand her current confusion.

TFW there’s a tiny desk concert by a band I already know and love!

Oh, goody, they're setting off fireworks over the Washington Monument to celebrate Insurrection Eve.

Once again, the best video of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_1t.... Thanks, @weratedogs.com

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

still trying to figure out where their sled is. #uglydogs

TFW jury duty is over. Even if it ended with a mistrial.

Opinion | Trump’s crude remarks about Rob Reiner are unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

In the district courthouse and walked past a naturalization ceremony…think I arrived too late to see ICE lying in wait for some of the people walking in.

Sigh. I sit down to eat lunch in the Potbelly right off Pennsylvania Ave (yay, jury duty) and this photo is over my table. So I can spend lunch ruminating on the now-destroyed colonnade. At least the food is good.

Time for the Aimee Mann and Ted Leo Xmas show. Yay!

missing @darth already. sleep well, sweet little panda and we'll see you in the spring.
