I’ve suggested this before, but this is an even clearer case where folks need to form a group named something like “Penn Jews Against Antisemitism” and then sue the admin—with their name leading on the caption.

Why would they want to silence and intimidate you? You’re a reliable Republican vote for rolling back DC’s local policing reforms and against “Socialism” on the eve of Mayor-elect Mamdani’s visit to the White House. Mike Johnson loves you.

all my homies are

I suppose chickens in leather _was_ the inevitable result of cows hawking (*cough*) chicken sandwiches… [alt: a DC Peruvian-chicken shop with a giant inflatable chicken perched above the shop window wearing black boots and a pleather(?) beret. There's a large leather-pride flag over the door.]

The 51st's giant ad blocks occasionally produce some...entertaining juxtapositions....

Across all the planets in the milky way the average number of trees per planet is at least 30

i don't harbor any illusion that it's even possible to opt-out of every AI, every absurd overreach of data collection and invasion of privacy, but it does feel good to toggle everything off that you can get your hands on, if only out of spite

Why does @gene4va.bsky.social keep voting for horrible Trump bills that take away DC home? If you are his constituent, perhaps you could call his office and ask?

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

As a District resident, it’s really hard to articulate just how morally offensive this is.

Suit alleges hostile work environment at DC Dept of Employment Svcs due to sexist boss & unresponsive HR. DC's response seems to be "being witness to numerous abusive comments doesn't make it a hostile work environment, plus some of those comments weren't sexist, they were abusive in other ways…."

I know we’re all desensitized to this and he says truly dangerous things regularly but this is objectively ridiculous and it makes him sound like a child.

i...what...how tf does DC still have mosquitoes more than halfway through &#%$ing November?

A thread on yet another way that LLMs are making the world worse.

"The delusion hasn't changed, but the formatting has."

what could go wrong

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

reposting because hell yeah, but also i just want more opportunities to see this goofball on my feed. (…the dog with two tennis balls in their face, to be clear.)

Putting out the bat signal for a friend who's on the board of an NGO focusing on eating disorder support/recovery - does anyone have connections with nonprofits, foundations, or electeds in the DC area working in that space?

You can oversee the bloody dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist with a bone saw, and the president of the United States will smile, shake your hand and threaten to pull the license of a news outlet whose reporter asks you a question about it. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

...because he's...a football coach? #sports! #MixedMetaphors! #Yahoo!

between the flyovers, the parades, and the armed soldiers on patrol, I have become completely ploughshares-pilled. please let it all stop

30K AADT? That's like radial-avenue level traffic in DC. Rhode Island Ave NE is like 27K, as is Connecticut NW by the zoo. Mass Ave past the embassies and Naval Observatory is 36K. Hell, New York Ave east of the tunnel is over 50K. (all via opendata.dc.gov/datasets/DCG...)

This is the real war on Christmas.

Why does Congress think they can set the laws that govern our local affairs? The 700,000 residents of the District elect local leaders to make those decisions. Congress must reject these bills.

Trump, when asked if he has committed extreme misogynist abuse, responds with less extreme, but still quite impressively extreme, misogynist abuse.

This part! As someone who has barely seen any tv or movies I always appreciate finding out what actor or show something is in alt text. Or just knowing what it is you’re trying to show, in general! PLUS I loooove alt text on a selfie. I love knowing how my beautiful friends see themselves.

Wait, DDOT is hiring for someone who will "[manage] the planning for route modifications as well as for the introduction of new routes in the Circulator system" which was shut down a year ago? careers.dc.gov/psp/erecruit...

Share your thoughts on DC's Strategic Bikeway Plan. Ride your bikes with the Littles at the reopening of Garfield Park. Save the date for a celebration of GGWash writers. And more in community events:

“In the United Methodist tradition, we have something called connectionalism, which, in this moment, we are saying means: If you come for one United Methodist, you have come for all of us." 😭✊

It's also weird, and a little alarming, that @wmata.com still refuses to use ALT text on images. But I suppose it's not that surprising. (ALT for quoted post: photo of a bus with front sign reading "C63 Deanwood")

Glad to see the C63 (Deanwood–WHC) route extended — several Ward 1 ANCs passed resolutions requesting the restoration of front door access to the hospitals from the west — but Georgia Ave–Petworth seems like a curious choice. Looks like a hard place to turn a bus around from the south, for one….

Dec 13th @ 10:30am. Free hot chocolate, free cookie decorating and free kids craft. Food & beer specials…. No better holiday party!

TODAY. See you at 11am outside Foggy Bottom Metro.

nicely timed for World Day of Remembrance #wdor

We hope you'll stop by OP's office this Saturday to talk about how DC can grow. OP Director Anita Cozart and @ddotdc.bsky.social Director Sharon Kershbaum will be there to take your questions. Let's plan for DC's future together: 📆11/15 from 11am-1pm at 899 N. Capitol St. NE

Workers should be able to move as freely and easily as owners do.

In case any dc council members were curious about what this looks like…

THIS IS WHY WE NEED THE HUMANITIES IN SCHOOL

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

for folks who drive to an office with an integrated garage: did you have to sign a waiver for access to the garage?

the Montgomery County animal shelter has become overcrowded because families are giving up their pets due to housing insecurity— meanwhile, a new subsidized housing complex here in Silver Spring won’t allow pets. these things are connected: to clear the shelters, we need pet-friendly housing

it's almost like being back in Pittsburgh a dozen years ago, when Uber was hiring half of CMU's robotics program to help it make driverless cars……

DC is on the forefront in requiring Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) for aggravated reckless driving offenses, looking forward to that being the pilot that proves the concept. dmv.dc.gov/service/inte...

Today’s reporting reminds me of this recent picture from right outside one of our local high schools. We’re seeing a lot of youth use bikeshare to get to school these days—and in case you missed it, DC’s school attendance crisis is currently grave. Maybe we should be encouraging this!

a “Space Force”, if you will

More funny if you forget that instead of actually caring about sex abuse by elites, the right-wing tried to shoot up a great local music venue

Gee, guess he really is On a Mission From God...
