Boycotting Constitution Hall because the DAR won’t let Marian Anderson sing has costs. It may end opera. Is that worth it? By Megan McArdle, 1939

When working in Baltimore City Hall, Common popped his head into my office, said 'Hello', then walked down the hall.

what are they hiding

you know what record absolutely rocks? SILENT ALARM

The Christmas tree is up, and my man Gary Carter is on watch. #lfgm

We found @myfriendkatye.bsky.social in a second hand store in Silver Spring.

On Friday night I made a P'zone for my girls.

The frequently wrong but never in doubt billionaire has reached peak idiocy

Davey Johnson. Baseball legend in multiple cities. Architect of joy for my favorite squadron. You magnificent bastard, I read your book. RIP

Man, they REALLY don’t want to hang that plaque honoring the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6. @acyn.bsky.social

We're back! It's our first @mets.com game at Citi since 2019! And tomorrow that kid plays in a girls baseball tournament. What a weekend. @strandthatrisp.bsky.social @myfriendkatye.bsky.social @bartenderesq.bsky.social

The news here is depressing, but so is the NYT describing a very right-wing, Trump-coddling, trans-bashing, faux intellectual website such as the Free Press as simply a "brash alternative" to traditional media. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/b...

When your daughter is an international baseball sensation, she gets to choose what hat she wears. @bartenderesq.bsky.social @marcrileydj.bsky.social @edzitron.com @samjuro.bsky.social @strandthatrisp.bsky.social

Sounds like a job for “Too Late” Powell. 🤡 @kcur.org www.kcur.org/news/2025-06...

So they drive just like Marylanders in DC. Probably don't use turn signals either.

Wow that's a terrific line up.

Arlo Guthrie for Pete Seeger.

Where did NYC rank in the 2025 Oxford Economics list of Best Cities in the World? Duh. 💪🏼 www.oxfordeconomics.com/resource/oxf...

One of the weirdest things I see in modern media is the complete lack of memory or context. Outlets will at best do a year or so's "huh well this also happened related to the story" but provide little thought otherwise. Even worse in interviews where reporters get amnesia each question

Among the provisions tucked into the bill House Republicans passed this week is a move to limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially shielding the Trump administration from the consequences of violating court orders. Here's what else the GOP slipped into the bill.

Happy #syttendemai to all who celebrate. #RespectTheLegend

To all you mothers out there, happy birthday.

Out tonight to see @annabsavage.com at @dc9club.bsky.social . She has one of the voices, and is so charming. Her banter with the crowd is top of the pops. My wife loves her. Many thanks to @marcrileydj.bsky.social as always for supporting her.

I'm in Texas this weekend to witness a hitchin' between two wonderful people. My daughter took this picture of the couple, and the judge is lookin' like she just got away with something. @bartenderesq.bsky.social

Out with LB1 to see the @mets.com play the Nats. @apodoftheirown.bsky.social @amazinavenue.bsky.social #viewfrommyseat

One year ago today.

Hey hey @marcrileydj.bsky.social last week I photographed my daughter playing football. Caught her looking like George Best.

My kids are enrolled in DCPS. We quite like their elementary school. The GOP CR will force the school to fire a lot of teachers, by prohibiting DC to spend existing city tax dollars that have already been collected. It’s gratuitously mean and pretty. So, yeah, I’m pretty fucking pissed.

Recently picked up Plenty, Plenty Soul by Milt Jackson. Stellar line up (Horace Silver and Art Blakey!) Songs by Jackson AND Quincy Jones. Vinyl in perfect condition, too.

The last Doll standing…stands no more. I love his band. R.I.P. DJ. 🩵

Black and white college students went to MISSISSIPPI in 1964 to register people to vote. They got shot at, bombed, beaten and killed. These pampered fucks need to take accountability and act.

No cheese P-I-Z-Z-A night in DC. Bomba sauce hummus with sauteed broccoli and shallots. Dough was on point tonight you guys.

Oh wow. So thrilled to see Pom Poko at Comet Ping Pong last night. Enthusiastic, energetic, and joyous. And loud. What else could I ask for? Big thanks as always to @marcrileydj.bsky.social for supporting them all these years.

The moon looks beautiful tonight. Can't really see it in my picture but Mars is big and beautiful, too.

Twenty years ago today, me and my buddies got together to share a cookie. Broke like it was the Spanish announcers table. #lfgm

Ten years ago today I took one of the most iconic photos of LB1, the cold & contemplative astronaut.

I am fascinated by the people at Meta who think this is a *good* idea in exactly the same way I'm fascinated by conspiracy theorists. It just seems so patently awful to me. And in ways that every sensible person I know would immediately grasp.

No shock here you guys. My Latin pop star second baseman was the top listen of the year. #LFGM

you come at the king, you best not miss

The great Rick Beato is setting the record straight! The term 'yacht rock' was originally an insult. As time went on proponents developed a half-baked definition that is not only clumsy but historically inaccurate. Rick hits on these points and it is worth a watch. youtu.be/kEYUw2kiRfc?...

Building some Legos today you guys. #LFGM

Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone— as though we had never been here.

Family is playing Lacuna. No two games are the same - aside from the move-induced stress. @cmyk.games

Decorating the tree tonight. Playing the @gidcoe.bsky.social Pre-Christmas Christmas Special while we work. Perfect accompaniment. @marcrileydj.bsky.social @bartenderesq.bsky.social

RIP - an absolute legend.

Government shutdowns (and then, reopenings) are expensive for taxpayers. You'd think the head of the new govt efficiency commission would know this

Another one of my P-I-Z-Z-A Friday nights in DC. Artichoke hummus and roasted red peppers for my special lady. My girls had just cheese as always. Played the latest album by @beakbristol.bsky.social while cooking.

It's a P-I-Z-Z-A Friday in DC you guys.
