TIL there are two condos named "Palazzo" around Arlington. I assumed one, but it turned out to be another.

"I really need to aggressively unsubscribe from lists - I get way too many emails" I say to myself as I click the Subscribe button to a daily email list of discounted ebooks.

I now have an old smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus 5g from 2020). Any suggestions on donating it? Is there some High School developer program for kids or "used phones to needy homes" type thing?

UPDATED DAY. Help me move! Don't worry it's still in Arlington, just around the corner into a larger studio apartment. Cleaning, carrying boxes, and moving some furniture are the big tasks. Snacks, pizza, and beverages will be provided. partiful.com/e/AZz34cHcNb...

Apparently in Arlington, intentionally hitting a cyclist with your car carries the same sentence as minor vandalism. Cool. www.arlnow.com/2026/02/20/d...

Look Arlington looks amazing!

Friends, go check out Look Arlington on Langston Blvd across from the Lyon Village shopping center! www.lookarlington.com

I'm sorry wut "late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was offered the chance to buy into a sprawling building ... the only property in Arlington, Virginia other than the Pentagon itself with the ability to meet the space and infrastructure needs of the DOD” Note this was during Trump's term 👀

It should probably be illegal to have as much fun as I had making this video. Rare Friday release on Nebula: nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

Woo-hoo, Arlington mentioned! Specifically, Ballston & its 319th densest census tract in the U.S. & yes, the beloved Ballston IHOP is flown over in Google Earth. Also I was nostalgic to see my old apt bldg (Richmond Square). I think I even saw my fmr apt balcony. Thank you @nerd4cities.bsky.social!

I think you technically can't see the Rosslyn skyline from the lawn of the White House, but... I'm imagining this is Arlington in the background of this South Park clip.

Want to be my neighbor?

It's not just me. Apparently this app is tricking everyone into drinking more alcohol.

Tiny (~275sq/ft) yet clean and safe studio apartment near Clarendon in Arlington becoming available in 2 weeks for $1,250/mo. I'd love to find a friend to fill it. Anyone interested?

Guess which GMU student is going to attend this @georgemasonu.bsky.social event with @takiskarantonis.bsky.social and @matt4arlington.bsky.social? I am. It's me. gmu.libcal.com/event/16348962

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." -- Mark Twain

This really is the most absurd feature of my calorie tracking app

Conservatives out here doing conservative things on GMU campus

We’ve had several rounds of layoffs at @arlingtonva.us, with federal funding for affordable housing being a major loss. Those left have more work while wages stagnate and inflation skyrockets. Had to change our mission statement to remove nasty words the regime hates like “vibrant” and “sustainable”

Looks like U.S. Congress is moving ahead with a 3rd round of PRO Housing grants. Nicknamed #YIMBY Grants, #ArlingtonVA benefitted from the 1st round through @mwcog.bsky.social back in 2023-24 to update its zoning policies. Our 2nd round application for middle-income homeownership support failed.

Arlington: those living in Crystal City and Pentagon City, you have an awesome YIMBY-endorsed candidate for SD-39. Special election is THIS TUESDAY, February 10th!

Heading to Scotland anytime soon? Be sure to hit up my friends’ cafe in Dunure - great town & cafe - they’ll take care of you - lemme know if you go!!!

Who here lives in Del Ray, Alexandria? I have a neighbor here that's about to become your neighbor there. I'd love to make introductions so they have a new group of awesome people to connect with in a couple of weeks. @beckyhammer.bsky.social @alexgoyette.bsky.social

I'm still not happy with the Virginia Democrats on this issue, nor their responses about it. Yes many of these tax hike bills are not going to make it out of legislature. Yes many were filed when Youngkin was still gov. That doesn't change the fact Dem members pushed them in the first place.

Seconding this endorsement of serving as a poll worker. The hours are dreadful (5 a.m. to 8-9 p.m. in Virginia), but you do get paid, you get to help your neighbors exercise their rights, and the next time some bozo talks smack about election integrity, you can smugly reply "have you even served?"

Do I have any friends here in their 30's or early 40's or late 20's who are free this Friday evening (the 6th) for what I am calling a "Win Party" to celebrate early 2026 successes, life changes, and challenges-still-being-overcome? Ping me and let's celebrate each other.

The city would be doing people a huge financial favor by charging for parking and encouraging them to get rid of their cars. If people can leave them sitting in a row like this covered in show for over a week, they don’t need them and are wasting their money and should get rid of them.

I have not seen this past storm get a semi-official name like Snowpocalypse or Snowmageddon from years past. Anyone know how to get this past storm officially dubbed "The Snowcrete Storm"? @capitalweather.bsky.social

Arlington is hiring a staff aide for a County Board member (unknown). $69k to $108k as flexible full time (some weekends and evenings, as needed by the CB member). Pass along to anyone you think would enjoy the role!

Got a new phone a week ago & one of the smartest decisions I made was to *not* automatically xfer over everything. Amazed at all the apps I have not used for years. Also not installed FB, IG, or Reddit on the new phone & finding much better mental health plus more free time the past week.

Virginia Democrats, please don't make me regret voting for you. New proposed taxes on dog walking, gym memberships, self storage facilities, dry cleaning, & *electric* leaf blowers (??!?). Alert: this article is by right-wing troll employed by WJLA, Nick Minock, but still seems to be factual.

With all these "city" rankings we win at, should Arlington just go ahead and become a city?

"Too often, cities claim to support new housing while taxing it like a problem." #Zoning & other land use reforms get a lot of attention regarding the #housing crisis - and rightly so! But local tax & fee structures may be hindering low-cost construction even if technically legal.

So let me understand this: it's a giant gummi... of a Big Bite 7-eleven hot dog... that you hang on your Christmas tree... and then you can eat it... being sold over a month after Christmas.

@georgemasonu.bsky.social Schar School has a podcast "Policy and Governance Perspectives", with the latest episode featuring our own @beyer.house.gov (House Representative for Arlington and beyond) discussing fusion energy, Artificial Intelligence, & how he became a college student in his 70's.

Arlington has received approximately one tipped-over scooter worth of snow

Banana Bread Bandit loves the snow.

When the smoke clears, there must be no quarter for any member of ICE. Every last one hunted down and brought to justice. Whatever form that may take. At minimum the punishments match the crime. At minimum.

Investors spent $148 million on Trump's memecoin to secure seats at a special White House dinner. The Trump family earned $320 million in fees.

DC area friends: don't forget to flip your windshield wipers up on your car.

We're closely monitoring this weekend’s snowstorm & have plans in place to support unhoused residents. Individuals seeking shelter can go to Homeless Services at 2020A 14th St. N., Arlington, VA 22201, or call 703‑228‑1010. Shelter day programs will remain open during the storm.

Can confirm. The Clarendon Trader Joe's may be wiped out in another couple of hours.

During my last day in Reykjavik, the lake Tjörnin finally froze enough for people to skate on it.

Bsky doesn't have polls, but what would your vote be? What will be a new DaVita sign this year? 1) Defend ICE! 2) REPASTORALIZE ARLINGTON! 3) Defund ICE! 4) Redistricting Disrupts Our Community And Lets Elites Shuffle Longtime Residents Around Unfairly in Violation of ... 5) Save Hoffman-Boston!

This is The Shard. It's built on top of train tracks. It's pointy. #london

Another thing for Alexandrians to look at from Waterfront Park.

When I got back from London Friday night, my body didn't know what time it was, so I woke up at 4am starving. Bob & Edith's on #ColumbiaPike to the rescue 😋
