We make sure our cat doesn't get outside. But I took no steps to prevent cats from getting *in*. This is not my cat. We had many pets and a little chat about trespassing before he went off to hunt birds

ALX Skeeters, Cathy and I are lighting up our bonfire tonight around 730 PM. Drop by if you like (DM if you need the address). Some chairs available.

Okay the Star wars group has really upped their game. The big black vehicle is playing a recording of the Star wars theme on bagpipes

And then the Irish dance squad went to Ludicrous speed

mixed feelings about this chart. On the one hand it makes my ⚡ 🚗 driving stats look even better... but I know how much it's going to hurt my siblings,my retired parents on fixed income, my neighbors, etc.

I'm sure this is me being paranoid, but seeing that banner on top of the website makes me think that the absolute opposite is true.

Looney Toons level coordination here

An organized unsubscribe campaign is targeting The Alexandria Brief over Braddock Road coverage. This is what happens when people encounter actual journalism instead of advocacy. Fair coverage isn't biased just because you disagree with the outcome.

and a note to celebrate @timladerach.bsky.social for organizing a good campaign, trusting his campaign staff and letting them shine, and putting in the passion and the work.

congratulations @sandymarks.bsky.social

On today's episode of Alexandria Always Be Voting, I'm excited to cast a vote for @timladerach.bsky.social Tim's a servant leader with good ideas for a vibrant and inclusive Alexandria. Best part of this primary is also the hardest: having choose between several brilliant, dedicated candidates.

HEY ALEXANDRIA GO VOTE TODAY!!!

Hey #econ people: who buys a 100 year bond? What kind of institutions would spring for this?

Two weeks after the ice storm, a pause for gratitude

I don't know what's different about today, but I've gotten a lot of deference from cars when I'm walking through crosswalks. 🤷

Okay buddy

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

@canawa.bsky.social spotted the awesome orange moon on our drive home last night

Come support Tim with me! If you haven't yet met Tim, come meet him!

well that is certainly one way to clear the ice

Mind. Blown. Moving that much snow has to be logistical nightmare. Very grateful for the investment from the City

y'all we should all march in the 2026 Scottish Walk parade as Clan Mattock. invent a house tartan, carry mattocks, etc

as a millennial this is the single most offensive spam email I've received

@alexandriavagov.bsky.social thank you, thank you for all the hard work your staff and contractors are putting in to clear out this awful ice mess. Grateful to all out there round the clock to help.

Ryan is correct and I was not!

@alexandriavagov.bsky.social the SnowReport shows my street as passable but there is no evidence of plow activity; cars were stuck there as recently as a few hours ago. how do we go about updating that map?

I'm sure they intended this website to be a triage point for previously plowed areas, but everybody is using it to try to figure out when their street will be plowed. which leads you to this "waiting for Godot" experience - We won't plow your street until it is clear 😵‍💫
