Open from 9am - 3pm today.

Has anyone ever been injured in a non-soccer context and slapped the ground?

Closing early at 3pm on July 4th. Regular hours the rest of the week.

Bad air is the norm during fireworks on the 4th n DC. Going from 10k-20k shells to 850,000+, on a humid night with little wind... should be interesting. Why 2026 is primed to be smokey: www.capitalweather.com/dcs-firework...

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I understand SCOTUS, know who they are, & by all rational accounts it feels so naive to say: "I can't believe 4 of 9 justices said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship." And yet, I can't believe 4 of 9 justices just said the Constitution doesn't protect birthright citizenship.

We’re pausing grab bag orders until July 7. Soumya needs a vacation.

Trump literally drove a presidential motorcade through the reflecting pool while it was still being refurbished & before the new liner even dried properly. if you drift a bunch of armored SUVs around inside of a dry pool, it damages the liner. it isn’t difficult to figure out what happened.

*Steps outside, licks finger and holds it up to the wind, whispers to self* “Good day for a sidewalk sale.”

“On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that Amazon restricted reviews of the vice president’s new book to verified purchasers only, leaving the tome with just seven reviews: six five-stars and one two-star. On Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon, reviews were disabled entirely.”😂

The season is upon us!

Been spending most their lives living in…

if human creativity is so frivolous how come these companies have to commit theft of it on unimaginable scales

Think twice, would-be thieves! Are you really prepared for us to lock you in the office and read Derrida to you for hours on end?

Dreamt Willem Dafoe had started working as a barista at a local coffee shop and I had spent weeks building up a rapport with him during my daily coffee run. Then one morning I ordered a some ridiculous mocha caramel frappe latte thing and he gave me a weird look and I knew it was over between us.

This Saturday from 5 pm - 7:30 pm we’ll have free wine & cheese plus 10% off all purchases. Join us.

Ufff.

This shows we don't have real democracy in DC. Legally, Trump can't federalize the District because he doesn't like an election result. But he try. He can interfere with self-governance more than he already has. And just his ability threaten this straight up tyranny semi-credibly is anti-democratic.

Have I read them all? No. Am I trying to read them all? Kinda.

I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...

Dude: Do you guys have the new J.D. Vance book? Me:

Dean Koontz, before and after:

Call me a libtard, but I don’t think we need to go into a full-scale moral panic every time some teenagers wild out. This is not new.

I dunno, seems kinda gay to me

Sold a lot of books today…

Open until 8pm today.

Catch us at the Capital Rare Book Fair from May 29th - 31st: finefairs.com/capital-rare...

Open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. today.

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

First UK edition. $750

Forgot how annoying it is to post something that gets even the slightest bit more attention than normal.

I’m not financially qualified to give this advice but I think you should quit your job and just come read all day.

He’s going golfing, isn’t he?

That's low CVS. Where else are you stealing support for the poor. Mount Sinai says CVS has stolen over $121M from a federal program meant to fund prescriptions for those who can’t pay | amNewYork share.google/14hVC64akqWm...

Whoa - she’s got a @capitolhillbooks.bsky.social bag - nice!!! Always the correct fashion accessory 👍👍

god grant me the serenity not to spend the rest of the night ranting and raving about the abject fallacy that is referring to dc as merely ‘a major city’ and not a place whose citizens have long been denied very specific rights. that said i agree with OP

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

How’s that “we’re cultivating an indie bookstore vibe” thing coming, btw?

Every day brings a new set of headlines that if you'd predicted them in October 2024, you'd have been diagnosed with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
