Tom Stoppard holds a special place in my heart and, I suspect, in the heart of everyone else who was ever told they thought too much to be an actor. R&G may be the best play of the 20th century, but Arcadia is, for me personally, the best play of the last 400 years.

No contract? No coffee! ✊☕ Our members are out supporting Starbucks Workers United in their strike as they fight for a fair contract.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

This is a really sick story. From everything I know, Boston’s Logan Airport is a legitimately dangerous place to travel through. abcnews.go.com/US/19-year-c...

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Don't let the Starbucks ads during the Thanksgiving parade distract from the fact that workers are on strike right now.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

National Guard members do not want to be used as political props. They want to be home with their families. The only person who wants them here is Trump. Police killed three people in DC last week and now this. When will this administration stop escalating and putting people in harm's way?

"I just sort of Michael Wolffed it" is actually a great term for committing a serious violation of journalistic ethics

If any of the allegations are true, Nuzzi covering for RFK Jr. directly played a role in the gutting of America's public health infrastructure, the defenestrating of the CDC and the promotion of the lie that vaccines causing autism.

The new Vanity Fair editor sought to make his magazine less woke and some of his first moves were hiring Olivia Nuzzi, publishing an abstract nude of Nuzzi by a person now alleged to have made illegal recordings on her behalf, and putting only men in the Hollywood issue

Ever written something you might describe as a turducken of code?

It’s frustrating because there is only so much a club like KC can do with this revenue. They've built a stadium, a training facility, created a second team, invested in a multi-club model, built multiple stores, marketed the team both at home and abroad, and are building a whole neighborhood!

We've got a few more years with Jessica Berman. "When asked about the possibility of raising the salary cap, the commissioner makes the kind of sustainability argument familiar to those following last place men’s teams, or the WNBA CBA negotiations.” galpalsports.com/db/a-league-...

Another bad indicator for local media (and, frankly, local party communication channels): I live less than two miles from the Florida district referenced here and had no idea there was an election happening.

The NWSL final between the Spirit and Gotham on CBS averaged 1.184 million viewers, making it the first game over the million mark and the most watched game in league history. Up 22 percent from last year’s final, which averaged 967,900. That’s a solid jump.

We’re rejecting complicit companies like Amazon, Whole Foods, Target, and Home Depot and redirecting our support and dollars to our DC small businesses instead! Check out our local holiday guide here: www.instagram.com/p/DRfXFVjgZO...

Shortly after the Commerce Department became the largest shareholder of Intel, Trump personally purchased between the $1 million and $5 million of Intel's corporate debt. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

Would love to see @janeese4dc.bsky.social as the mayor of DC 💜

Just implement it. Constituencies rarely tell you with such clarity what they want. A government agency rarely says it's ready to go. C'mon.

A healthcare system where we hope someone wants our autograph

It was truly a multiple team endeavor; we lent Spirit that big banner and Riveters helped with creating the small, hand held signs.

Washington Spirit fans got everyone in the crowd in San Jose at the @nwslsoccer.com championship game last night to chant “Free DC” at the 51st minute. Great game, too.

There's so many people who deserve kudos for making this season so much fun, but we're gonna try to get this out: @spiritsquadron.bsky.social @roseroomco.bsky.social @unitednightout.bsky.social Thank y'all for setting the tone in the stands and in the community. #RiseUpDC and #FreeDC

“Free DC” at the 51st minute. Pass it on.

A great nugget from this clip is that Tara McKeown’s pregame pump-up song of choice is … “Fast Car”

No one loves playoffs like Spirit defender Esme Morgan 😂💛

Last time this season….. WAKE UP SPIRITS ITS CHAMPIONSHIP DAY!!!

Man, this team means so much to me like wow we have come FAR.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

No pro franchise in town has leaned into the District, its residents and the issues they care about the way the Spirit has. Column from @barrysvrlugawp.bsky.social

Immigration agents had a 12-pack of Modelos in their car while making arrests, Miguel Angel Garcia Martinez told investigators.

We can see how much JuJu has grown every year we go to the championship. @washingtonspirit.com

Also seems like kind of a jerk. In the KC-Spirit game he mocked an injured Spirit player - it was caught on the broadcast.

Teal Man having an agent explains a lot of his access and appearances at a league awards show

Our capos and Surface Tension work their asses off to create the atmosphere and have been mostly ignored this year. I mean, look at the shield celebration.

DC absolutely needs statehood so that the people who live there aren't ruled by goons they never elected. A genuine ongoing scandal and absolute betrayal of the principles of the country.

If you say "Trump is a threat to democracy" and vote like this, you simply don't believe what you say. The idea that swing state Dems would "need" to vote for this is also laughable. No one in your district is kept up at night by the idea that a crooked cop in DC won't get hired back.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Spirit squad showing all the love for Tara McKeown, their back-line queen 💛

can't believe the #NWSL is gonna fumble her

Trinity Rodman killing it on the blue carpet tonight! #NWSL

Surprising no one Trinity Rodman has arrived in a very chic Spirit-themed custom outfit

The House bill being voted on today to require cash bail in DC is insane. DC hasn’t had cash bail since 1992, and crime has plummeted since. Our current system is near identical to federal law. People should be held pretrial if they pose a safety risk — not because they are too poor to pay bail.
