So excited that The Brig will be back in Erie, PA! An absolutely stunning tall ship #DontGiveUpTheShip

Terrific day for the 14th annual Electric Vehicle Grand Prix at RFK. An impressive set of high schoolers who build and race electric cars. The silence of these cars is quite the contrast with #TruckTouch going on across the parking lot! 😂

THE DROUGHT IS OVER ⚔️ For the first time since 2007, the Buffalo Sabres have won a Stanley Cup Playoff series.

The @doeedc.bsky.social Electric Vehicle Grand Prix is tomorrow at RFK Lot 8! Head over to DPW’s awesome Truck Touch, then swing by the race starting at 12:30pm to watch high schoolers from across the DMV (and Italy!) race the EVs they’ve been building all year. You don’t want to miss it!! 🏎️⚡️🔋

💙⚔️💛

Wish he was here.

Husband purchased Sabres tickets back in early December for my birthday so we could see them in DC. After 14 years of pretty painful seasons and a seemingly similar 15th, I made a joke that maybe Buffalo would be playing meaningful hockey in April. …see you tomorrow @sabres.com 😁

Amazing turnout today with @hillfamilybiking.org to protest the removal of the 15th St bike lanes. Such a dumb idea to remove such a valuable resource.

If you have time this afternoon, it’s worth it to stop by the Healthy Homes Fair happening at Catholic University from 1-5pm. Everyone is talking about utility bills, and the technologies on display can help lower costs while making our homes healthier. electrifydc.org/fair/

Mad props to the Olympic organizers for having an in-house organist. So many rinks have moved away from this and it’s very cool to see (hear) in international play.

Can we make this gold medal game a best of seven series? Holy smokes.

My grocery store reorganized their produce section and I will need 3-5 business days to process this.

NOW (midday Monday) is a very good time to do some snow and ice removal ❄️🧊 Temperatures in the 20s — even near 30 in some areas — are about as mild as it will get all week. Just as important: we have some sun. 1/3

"When he was leaving his home that afternoon, he said, 'Oh, I'm going to go meet the next governor,' and his little daughter said, 'Okay, well tell him hello.' And he said to his daughter, 'Actually, no, it's a woman. The next governor is a woman.'" "The little girl said, 'A GIRL governor?!'" 💙

In the first six months of congestion pricing, air pollution within Manhattan's toll zone dropped 25%. Pollution fell across the five boroughs and in the suburbs, too. A clean air win all around.

All I want for Christmas is for @wmata.com to put up “stand right, walk left” signs in view of the escalators 🤞🏻❄️✨

The recent seiche on Lake Erie, driven by strong NE winds, resulted in a remarkable tilting of lake levels. This particular seiche resulted in a lake-level difference of about 8-10 ft. Here is a plot of lake levels in Buffalo and Toledo (at either end of Lake Erie). #LakeErie #seiche

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Want to save money? Households using transit save about $2,800 annually on rideshare, taxis, parking, and tolls, plus $10,500 on car ownership costs.

Did you know transit is 20 times safer than driving a car? Each year, public transportation prevents more than 2,500 injuries related to car accidents. Take Metro!

There’s been so much rain this summer, but at least today there’s a rainbow in my backyard, so that’s pretty cool 🌈

If you’ve seen posts about the Electric Vehicle Grand Prix and have questions, here’s a quick summary 🧵 Teams of high school students build a small electric car from a base kit. The race has them drive the car around a track for an hour, with the goal of completing the most amount of laps.

The teams are getting their cars prepped for the EV Grand Prix at RFK. The race starts shortly, so swing by to check out the prep tents and watch the race!

Come to the EV Grand Prix and Truck Touch event at RFK and stop by the @doee-dc.bsky.social resource fair! Learn about Riversmart Homes, the upcoming Healthy Homes Fair from @electrifydc.bsky.social, and the work @pepcoconnect.bsky.social is doing to help electrify the District!

Tomorrow is DPW’s Truck Touch and DOEE’s EV Grand Prix! 🎉Stop by RFK Lot 8 to interact with cool District vehicles, and stay to watch 40+ high school teams race the electric vehicles they built this year 🏁🏎️🔋⚡️
