Been reading through “Driving the Green Book”, talks a lot about how car culture developed in post-reconstruction Black America. A big part of that was public transportation feeling *overwhelmingly* unsafe It’s 2026 and ain’t much changed 😔

As a lifelong road geek, the UI is so satisfying here 💙

I love how the aesthetics of Mario Kart World lean hard into the “road trip” theme. Ngl this is the vibe I’ve wanted from the series since I was a kid

This is somehow more disruptive to city infrastructure than the America 250 closures in DC lmao

Something I had to learn (still learning) the hard way post-deconstruction: making friends is a skill. You don't really get this if you're raised in an environment where relationships are more or less a passive buff for just showing face consistently.

Amtrak needs to copy y’all’s homework

This, plus it’s okay to have hobbies that aren’t monetized! Hustle culture sucks the joy out of everything

Being jolted out of your sleep by a fire alarm at 5AM <<<

YES, Black people can be AND ARE gentrifiers. & it starts with mindset. which is why my earlier posts about the hypocrisy on here re: durand & ai needed to be pointed out.

*PG County has entered the chat*

Bruh, since when did Uniqlo’s prices skyrocket?!?? 60 bones for a pair of chinos feels absurd

Large bowl of pho on a cloudy Saturday >>>

Man, I’ve long wished for a high speed MARC line with these exact stops

And here I was worried they wouldn’t like each other

Never ugly, but my fashion sense was in the toilet until my early 20s

Ppl can’t even give you a good reason why they like Braveboy without dipping into Black Excellence Brunch Crowd™️ talking points, but here we are 😑

PG County election results got me upset. Less than 30% of ppl even showed up to vote, and now we got the AIPAC/Data Centers guy teed up.

US 50 really shut down in both directions, sheeeeesh

Idk about 500 miles, but you right lol College in NC was a big culture shock compared to life in the DMV, gave me a ton of perspective on America that I def wouldn’t have otherwise.

These refs tripping

…I see

It’s always a profile like this. Tons of performative Trump hate, but she hasn’t moved an inch on deconstructing white supremacy & antiblackness. Just yapping 😑

“I just think it’s kind of telling that the places that DC people hate would probably be considered good urbanism in most other US cities”

Hey #SandwichSky do y'all do this?

I know for a fact that a solid chunk of PGPD are sourced from West Virginia, it’s wild out here

This is the intersectionality that’s missing from a lot of urbanist discourse tbh. Car-centric design sucks for sure, but we can’t ignore the reality of how different Black people’s relationship to transportation was/is due to history.

Got it in early 💪

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner considering I drink this nightly lmao

My only contribution to the solar discourse (y’all need hobbies) is that before anyone touts solar as a kind of superior choice, moral or otherwise, we should mandate the installation of solar for rental properties.

The way 007 First Light handled the the topic of AI was genius

Been telling everyone who will listen that Combo Breaker is a much, MUCH better run event than EVO is. Been going since 2023 and it’s been worth it every time. I still need to check CEO out someday

Lookin like someone summoned Shenron

That’s the thing with Chinese spots: you gotta try several carryouts in your area before you find that hidden gem.

I see the uptick of racist trolls on here; if this place becomes Twitter2.0 I’m out

Had some good players look over my Tekken matches, and it came down to “you have good fundamentals, you just don’t have a good knowledge of the cast’s frame data” Homework it is, then

Alamo Drafthouse went from my favorite theatre to a train wreck within the span of a year. I hate it here 😑

Start here

PG county schools got enough issues as it is, now the kids are being encouraged to drain their own communities. Nasty work

I love 007’s open-ended approach to problem solving. It’s a good sign when I’m already thinking about how I’ll do things differently on the next play through!

Got them playing together after a week ❤️

Her take sounds…normal? Something about NYC specifically where ppl desperately want to claim it despite not growing up there. Meanwhile, we don’t even allow ppl to say “PG County” unless they were raised here lmao

I mostly agree with JLo. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I lived in LA for the majority of my adult life, but I don’t claim it as my city. People who move to a city experience it differently than those who were born & raised there. Emphasis on raised. It’s less about where you were born, and more so where you were raised.

This 007 First Light theme

Haven’t been to a local in a minute, not getting whooped too bad at least

Is the FGC so used to guest characters being the norm that actual new fighters are throwing them off?

I met Billy Blanks at our church back when I was like 9

Had to boot up Tekken DR to make sure this wasn’t a fever dream lol

Bowl of pho served with hot green tea

It’s so sneaky how important emails get filtered into spam Almost missed out on a Ticketmaster class action lawsuit lmao

Aldi will drop some heat like this, only for it to never be seen again 2 weeks later
