Good night Friday

JFC…

Sigh…I guess I should just be glad they came and mowed at all. 🙄👀

It’s May 6, why aren’t city park water fountains turned on yet? 🙄

Does the SuperShuttle airport van even still exist? I never see it driving around at all anymore

You GUYS! There was an actual line for the $300k shitter!!!

Hol-ee sh*t. There are SO MANY people in The Devil’s Playground

It’s May 1 and it’s borderline winter coat cold out here. I am not happy

Last night Fishbone was at the Black Cat and Afghan Wigs at 9:30. Lot of tired old people in DC today. 😂

Flyover has been moved to 11:12am AND there will now be ceremonial cannon fire at the ellipse between 1035 and 1045!!!

Heads up DC! There will be a military flyover of the White House at 9am tomorrow (Tuesday 4/28). Because it’s the White House it will be louder than normal for some areas of the city!!

I refuse to put a winter coat back on

All I know is that somehow, whatever the real situation was, this is gonna somehow gonna be DC’s fault and we’re gonna be screwed. Sigh.

Where are My tree nerds? I know you’re on here other than just @imgoph.bsky.social! Look at this bougainvillea “tree” and check out this street tree! With a bonus tram because tree and transpo nerds often overlap

Hey bike nerds, for only $5K+ and shipping you too can have this custom wooden bike.

Happy Monday!

Sunday train lunch. Ok, European trains I’ve been on rated based on timeliness, comfort, the stations, food: 1) Italy 2) France 3) Spain (and this was probably only because some of the stations were under construction and were sketchy. 4) ? 5) ? 6) Portugal

Why?!? Why can’t we just have these retractable bollards in DC?!?

For the transpo nerds. Btw all the funiculars in Lisbon are shut down following the tragedy in October.

Apparently someone left a large glass award at the South TSA checkpoint at National.

Bruh…all y’all who pushed ranked choice voting on DC and now some of y’all cannot stop talking about bullet voting or not ranking people. Mark my words they will also be the same people gnashing their teeth when it takes DCBOE a minute to get it sorted and tallied. 👀🙄🤬

Come the F on. How hard is it to get 2k legit sigs citywide? Dear reader I can assure you it is not in fact, hard.

Pro-tip, if you’re a candidate for office in DC and someone donates to your campaign, a thank you note should be de rigueur. Doesn’t have to be hand written (but hand signed is at least nice). It’s not that hard.

Decisions decisions.

Just got to walk past a voting site for Benin on my morning walk. No lines but people coming and going. Exciting to see democracy at work.

The dude standing behind the NASA administrator rocking the Turnstile t-shirt 😍

I love that the person at Mission Control sorta “mansplained” the comms issue. “are you pressing the right button”? 😂

Watching Integrity bob around out in the ocean, I just hope hope the whales know those are the good guys. 😬😉

Me, frantically texting my San Diego peeps… what can you see?!?! All of my San Diego peeps: Clouds. Nothing but clouds. Although apparently those close to coast are about to get a sonic boom

The Guard are walking around Kalorama 🙄. Probably the most secure neighborhood in the whole city with all the embassies. JFC. What a waste

Happy Easter from DC DPW. 👀 🙄

Give it to me straight @ianlivingston.bsky.social should I cancel my 12pm outdoor (in my side yard) brunch for Sunday?

Heads up! Fireworks at 8pm.

Hey @capitalweather.bsky.social I thought you said the winds will be light today? I can assure you after 3 brisk miles with the dog they are anything but light

I am so f@cking over cold weather

I feel about the DC Metro similarly to how I feel about public libraries: It’s a quasi-miracle that it exists, and if it were proposed today there is a 0% chance it would move forward.

Dinner at the new Rye Bunny tonight. So very good. Officially open April 2.

Happy peak bloom 🌸 to all who celebrate

All Hail Maisey, Queen of Walter Pierce Park! This is also a good reminder that if you get a dog and live next to a city park you better make sure your dog is good with kids because a kid may just come up to them and put a crown on their head!

Stage 5 folks!

We have peduncle elongation folks! A bike lane protest and peek bloom coinciding? Monday’s gonna be lit!

First runner is through the Devil’s Playground (mile 8 is at the top end of the Ellington Bridge)

It’s my favorite day of the year! So many angry and entitled people with cars!

Why is Casey Trees planting ginkos?

It’s Friday! And DC’s naughtiest lawn ornament is in fine spring form. 😬

So Maisey and I were over in The Six today and how have you all been spared the deluge of campaign signs? The only ones we saw on H St. were for Janeese. Over here in El Uno it’s wall-to-wall signs from all sorts of citywide candidates plus the W1 candidates.

My favorite Saturday of the whole year is nigh! Despite signs posted along the route, despite every household along the route (maybe the city? 🤷🏻‍♀️) getting a mailer, the teeth gnashing that will ensue on Saturday is gonna be epic(ally funny).

Holy cow! What a sunrise

Why the SAVE Act is bad, one small story: Friend lost her passport and needed it quickly. To get her birth certificate (quickly, the online wait was too long), her father had to go to the county courthouse in CA. When he wasnt immediately available she asked her brother but he couldn’t get a copy 1/

Why is the DC311 app such trash?
