Grapefruit, and it isn’t close.

Art requires consciousness to create. “AI art” does not exist.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIXED FEELINGS?

[reading the news] this country is going down the crapper and we deserve it [watching the olympics] USA USA USA

Oooof. Awful time for that penalty. 😬😬😬

That Boldy goal was an absolute thing of beauty.

If you want to kill somebody and get away with it, the best option is to hit them with your car.

Really not sure why NBC thinks it’s so interesting to watch chefs making food for Stanley Tucci to eat.

Congrats, you made it to Friday. Please enjoy a Smithwick’s.

For any newcomers to the sport, here is the Spring Training Fan Rulebook: 1. if your team allows a HR: they’re just getting their work in, or trying out a new pitch, it’s fine 2. if your team hits a HR (even against a 19 year old minor leaguer) that guy is in mid season form, he’s lookin’ good.

So, all of that chaos and turmoil for nothing, and now we’re all stuck with the bill and likely permanently higher prices.

This is such a bummer. I always sought out a seat at their bar when visiting Baltimore.

Speaking as someone whose spouse volunteered with the Beto campaign in 2018…I can confirm this.

The 2028 Democratic nominee could fund their entire campaign simply by running a contest to be the one who gets to press the button to demolish this thing on Day 1 of their administration. One raffle ticket for every $10 donated.

Once again, you cannot square the admin’s stated rationale for a surge targeting lazy, unemployed immigrants who are stealing benefits from the country, with the reality that these immigrants keep getting targeted at their places of employment.

As an OSU grad, and as a person who maintains a semblance of a moral conscience, I hope this happen.

Trying to get from Farragut to Georgetown this evening and cursing the demise of the Circulator.

Wheeeee Wordle 1,705 2/6 🟨🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Another weird ass morning in DC as an FBI team in body armor with at least 10 agents surrounds 2818 18th St NE.

NBC/Peacock running a nearly 1:1 ratio between actual Olympics coverage and commercials.

Made my way up to where the Potomac Interceptor sewage pipe broke late last month just north of Cabin John, Md. The C&O Canal between locks 12 and 10 is being used to divert sewage around the broken portion; it’s essentially an open-air sewer at this point.

was at the national building museum's bookshop and they had all these 'brutalist guides to DC/Berlin/Paris' etc, which I assume is so people can avoid having to see them.

Mike Tirico: “Tonight’s Olympics are presented with limited commercial interruption.” <followed by 18 straight minutes of commercials>

I want to know how people have the mental and emotional energy to be arguing over who the 2028 presidential nominee will be, while I am just trying to get through Monday.

We spent the weekend roaming the streets of NYC, where we walked alongside people of every background, heard multitudes of languages, and went by restaurants serving every conceivable cuisine. It all felt so much more American than the homogenous parts of the country called Real America.

I’d actually wanted to watch more moguls, but NBC has decided I should see only one (1) run, bookended by several minutes of commercials, before moving onto something else. Boooooo.

@exsk8pnk.bsky.social saw this pic at the museum yesterday of a newly built pinball machine getting polished before being put into use, and thought you’d find it interesting.

Since Graham Platner discourse is on my timeline, I will add this: I think it sucks that Maine is deciding between Totenkopf guy and a 78 year-old who is pro-filibuster, while D.C. gets no senate representation at all. I think D.C. could elect two decent senators who never had Nazi tattoos.

I think a big reason why the people with the Worst Opinions continue getting platformed and amplified by mainstream media is because there aren’t tangible consequences for being wrong.

A fun visit to the Art of Noise show at the Cooper Hewitt.

Obligatory visit for Japanese soufflé pancakes.

Take the lane.

Went to the Whitney this afternoon, and was greeted by an Alma Thomas in the permanent collection gallery.

Riding on a train through New Jersey and listening to @fountainsofwayne.bsky.social, as is custom.

One of the most grating things is LinkedIn-fluencers whose posts mix somber current events with corporate jargon-y nonsense. “Just back from Minneapolis, and was moved by the solidarity of people coming together for their neighbors. In much the same way, good KPI-driven content can move us to…”

There’s a case to be made that today (Feb. 11) marks the *30th day* of the congressional review period for the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, which means it becomes law effective Feb. 12 (regardless of how the Senate votes)

My kingdom for a world without bud bunching

Architect of the biggest-ever Medicare fraud scheme says what?

Huh. It’s almost as if this is the level of governance we can reasonably expect when the government is filled with incompetent, morally bankrupt sycophants who are bankrolled by vacuous billionaire man-children who haven’t experienced a consequence since their last divorce.

So, we just went from 10 days to a few hours?

(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive. The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead. www.theverge.com/policy/87683...

That was awesome. 🇵🇷🐰

As someone once said to me: Why would I invest time reading something that someone didn’t invest time writing?

If you’re looking for a glimmer of light in these dark times, join me in celebrating the completion of my tenth Pilates class with @seriousllama.bsky.social this morning. Despite my atrocious form and facial expressions, she still goes home with me afterwards.

The clearest sign that we absolutely need to bring back shame and consequences is that there are far too many people who feel far too comfortable attaching their names to vile, reprehensible messages like this.

So, with that post we basically have the president saying the n-word. There really is no bottom to this well, is there?

They failed to reduce our already low crime rate, but for 1/3 of a billion dollars they picked up a lot of trash and spread a lot of mulch. I still haven't seen any of them pick up a snow shovel though.

Big turnout down at the rally to support the Washington Post: from national union leaders like @flyingwithsara.bsky.social to local DC Councilmember (and mayoral candidate) @janeese4dc.bsky.social

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
