Reminder that this is still a common sight in DC. Never normalize it.

If you were actively trying to create a mail app that aggravated and frustrated users, I do not think you could do better than the Outlook Mail app.

Everything is so moist. 💧

If the Nats had any pitching depth, they might actually be a better-than-decent team.

Well well well what have we here?

Scenes from a country stroll in Ireland, er, Rappahannock County:

Today’s rainy day reading agenda:

Good morning. #clammy

Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!

The fun thing is that this applies to housing, too. “I don’t want to live in a condo/apartment/ADU, ergo we shouldn’t be building them.”

The ironic thing about congresspeople from Virginia and Maryland voting to interfere with DC’s local traffic laws is that they’re effectively voting to maintain the status quo—which their constituents by and large despise.

Just a reminder that this is always an option:

The pizza that’d been sitting under a heat lamp for hours at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, consumed after three days camping in the Canyon and following a 3 mile switchback ascent.

A bit toasty for porch beers, but I’m just glad to be back home.

It only Tuesday.

When Democrats take control, I want a slush fund to compensate everyone who had to live through a decade of this unhinged nonsense.

Both the team and the season are young, but dare I say the Nats are…kinda fun?

Me, when I find myself in someplace other than my usual coffee shop, and it has an unfamiliar menu and ordering process:

Just a relaxing, chill Saturday morning listening to @airielmusic.bsky.social

less than a month after we celebrated dc emancipation day at this same spot, the federal government erected a statue of ceasar rodney, plantation owner and enslaver of hundreds of people. in the center of freedom plaza.

The penalty I am paying for taking a Lyft to my dental appointment is the driver is blasting and singing along to the Christian rock station. This is effectively a hostage situation.

Dallas. It knows what it did.

Look, I’m all about Recreating the Diamond, but having Virginians experience something us District residents have long known—watching conservatives in government trample over our right to self-governance—is a heck of a way for it to happen.

Excited to get this announcement today. Anymore, the mere act of casting a vote feels like an act of defiance.

I still won’t fly out of it.

Sticking it to the auto manufacturers by calling for more freeways.

Less important to yall, but brutal to primary caregivers trying to do it all and failing, like me: Duffy worked as head of my agency while in a road trip for seven months, while folks like me across the Federal government have been prohibited from all teleworking.

The thing about hitching your cart to free markets and personal liberties is that nobody has to listen to what you have to say.

Thing is, in this environment redistricting *is* the moderate position.

Big day today, as we are *finally* moving back into our house after 8 months out of it. Alexandria, it’s been real, but our powers are waning and we must decamp back across the river.

Everything he does is either directly or in service to a scam, grift, or con.

Latest in Virginia: Hours after the state's highest court knocked down the new congressional map approved by voters, the AG's office says it intends to take the fight to the US Supreme Court and asked to delay making today's ruling final buff.ly/Kkgp2zY On today's action: buff.ly/7OaSTQM

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

This is some real Tyranny by the Minority shit. I know “lol, nothing matters,” but we are very quickly headed there unless there’s a forceful, proportionate response.

Hard to put into words the utter contempt for the myriad ways this man has disgraced, defiled, and defaced my city.

Hi @metrobusinfo.bsky.social the c75 runs only between Petworth and Takoma, and barely operates on any arterials. How’s it possible to get bunching like this?

Illinois knows what it must do:

One additional thing I learned: The owner of one of the main contractors D.C. hired to do snow removal and hauling (they were paid an estimated $4.5 million) is now in jail, having been indicted in late November for allegedly fraudulently claiming COVID-era federal aid.

Washington DC’s transit system plans to automate its trains, removing the need for human operators. As I explained in @bloomberg.com, this could be a watershed moment for US public transportation. Gift link & 🧵

This is a nice feature, but what’d be even nicer is if riders didn’t need to wait upwards of 30 minutes for the bus to come, as they apparently would for the D24 based on the accompanying screenshot.

Filling out my California gubernatorial ballot:

It’s a comparatively minor thing, but it kills me that we’re, what, nearly 17 years past the Red Line crash, and manually operated Metro trains still have that 5-10 second wait for the operator to open the doors once a train has entered the station.

Absolutely unforgivable that he’s got me caring about a golf course.

It’s bad enough that Schlossberg is opining on an issue he apparently lacks knowledge of, but that he is so comfortable continuing to disenfranchise 700k+ citizens is simply indefensible.

So many of our civic spaces are being corrupted or destroyed, because it is all he knows how to do.

The Project 2025 plan to squash #DC ‘s people isn’t working - it’s a vibrant place and that energy is coming back out this spring. Adams Morgan porchfest, good vibes.

About to attempt to hoist a table up to and through a second story window. Surely this will end well!!
