Tonight’s brewery product isn’t a beer. That’s okay!

Our household has received the opposition pushback advertising on the bill. Stupid fearmongering, and drawing from a well-trod path.

Listening to KEXP just now, Cheryl Waters played The White Stripes' "Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine." I forgot about the lyrics in the chorus, strangely relevant right now: Girl, you have no faith in medicine Oh girl, you have no faith in medicine Acetaminophen, you see the medicine Oh girl

When you own a home, the soft, distant sound of water running when it shouldn’t be or the appearance of a mysterious damp stain are scarier than seeing a balloon coming out of a sewer grate.

I haven't really been online in the past 24 hours, but did you know that The Rapture is doing an early show at the 9:30 Club on a Friday night in Oct where doors open at 6:30pm? My elder millennial knees are into it 💃 youtu.be/6HP04nfUi4g

I'm too old to do nonstop Simpsons references, but "Henry Kissinger came to my Star Wars book report!" is some Martin Prince shit.

Trans peoples’ lives in America end when we fucking roll over. We worked too hard for this. Freedom doesn’t mean markets and guns and self-dealing and that cruel Heritage Foundation shit. It means kindness and community. Not letting people die. So we don’t fucking roll over. K thx bye.

A generation built up a way of life for all those living and we’re living through its destruction. And fuck off if you expect us to let it die. So call your members of Congress, and like some on here, you can always DM me to talk about what local action you can take to protect your care.

In 2013-2014, the late Andy Cray, Kellan Baker, and I got DC’s government to cover gender affirming care with all health insurance regulated by the District government. Our work—more importantly, the health it protects for trans folx in the district—may be vaporized.

I know this is from yesterday, but the cartographic editor I am wants to know who thought the gray area being changed to white inside the highlighted region (without either of those colors appearing in the legend) was a good idea. I assume NOAA laid off whomever was checking that kind of stuff. :(

Now seems like a fun time to remind everyone that GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert

@derfbackderf.bsky.social in case you hadn’t seen this already!

This is a really good piece with a lot of good statistics. It would be aided with some before-and-after aerial imagery of all of the places mentioned within. Go read it!

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

And it fucking sucks

I'm sorry you feel uncomfortable alone at the Nazi party, have you considered that may have been precisely the point? We know the Nazis were never going to listen to us, we were hoping you might

No one is obligated to be the token opposition party in someone else's game. Of course the Harlem Globetrotters have more fun clowning the Generals than scrimmaging. But precisely bc it is rigged spectacle, it's important not to indulge their fantasy that this is anything close to normal.

It also ignores that leaving was a form of influence! Millions sent a clear message about the minimum standards of fairness and respect we believe are foundational for civic conversation. Their obsession with our departure makes clear it was effectively communicated; they just don't like it

In our fictional dystopia for NIN’s “Year Zero,” Hollywood had been destroyed and rebuilt in Florida where it was strictly regulated by the state & overseen by Evangelical groups, so news was state propaganda and entertainment was sanitized pro-Christian content approved by the US Bureau of Morality

No, that's 70,000 boots on the ground. If it was 35,000 boots on the ground we would be talking about 17,500 troops. Yes, this is a hill I will die on.

Worth noting that, since Friday, WMATA has started putting alt text on some of their posts’ images! Yay progress!

THE ONLY THING A PLASTIC BOLLARD IS GOOD FOR IS TELLING YOU WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE USED A METAL BOLLARD. Yes, I'm shouting.

This headline construction has been bothering me for days. Ivy City has not “struggled as it angles for coolness.” Ivy City has continued to simply insist it gets the support it has always deserved, and if business owners shit on the people, they are telling on their racist, classist asses. Period.

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

I just noticed that Anita Bonds has an account here, and this is her bio. “Reasonable” “Pragmatic” aka “You can buy my vote for less than anyone else in this government. I am the cheapest date on the dais.”

This great piece from @mmasnick.bsky.social is a classic two-fer: First of all, a comprehensive argument for why staying on Twitter is fruitless. Best of all, it adds to the argument of why freeing ourselves from algorithmic chains is such an important mission. www.techdirt.com/2025/09/15/s...

Tonight’s out-of-nowhere earworm: Aerosmith - Amazing I have no idea why, but it is lodged deep in that brain cell right now.

A timely reminder—at least in the DMV and likely beyond—that you shouldn’t spend one cent more on the Washington Post than your tax dollars already cover through your local library. Here’s @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social’s link to free WaPo access: www.dclibrary.org/research-and....

H Street? (IYKYK)

I have spent a week just randomly posting stuff without signing on and reading anything but the replies. I hope you all have been doing okay this last week. I have heard secondhand that all things have been Bad. I know we’re all going through it. Hope to see some of you today IRL on H Street! 🫶🏻

The last couple times in Lidl, I’ve been sad to see they’ve cut way back on stocking very German stuff (I get it: Columbia Heights shoppers aren’t buying heaps of marzipan). After my first stop in the relatively new H Street Aldi, I’m glad to see they still stock a fair amount of German snacks. 🇩🇪

This mess needs to be dealt with. It’s a crater ruining this part of town.

It is a good time of year again. Cheers to you all!

This is how Lance Salonia became the biggest hater of cyclists, smart growth, lefties, etc. Getting kicked out of the GGW comments made him 100x more vitriolic.

Essex Hemphill: The Occupied Territories

What is this AI/HDR-looking ad on the bus?

Was listening to @djjohnrichards.bsky.social this morning and he played Simon and Garfunkel. I glanced over, and the album cover in the playlist was halfway off the bottom of the screen. I realized it really looks like Art Garfunkel has a massive mustache if you crop the image just right!

This line has just stayed stuck in my head since the concert last night: "All my ghosts came a callin' Making noises 'bout a promise I had broken Oh, I'm gonna be lonely soon"

TVOTR played "Trouble" as the second song in their encore last night. It was super-appropriate, as Tunde spoke multiple times during the show about the crazy in the world, and how good it felt to be in a room full of positivity. Play it loud & listen to the words. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=bunJ...

The. Most. Important. Rock. Band. Of. The. Twenty. First. Century.

I know there is a certain type of person for whom last week’s Rilo Kiley show was the most important musical event of the year (and I love Rilo Kiley), but TV On The Radio is the most important rock band of the 21st Century.

At @thelincolndc.bsky.social for TV On The Radio. Opening act is Combo Chimbita.

This rain we’re having isn’t from a tropical storm?

Things fall apart gradually, then suddenly. 😶

In reference to well-known folks not taking the time to give proper attribution. Don’t pull the ladder up after you climb to the top.

Trump's occupation of DC has "horrific 'mystery agents'...cosplaying as police so they can kidnap non-white people with impunity." That's not just the perspective of our community members. That's the perspective of MPD Officer Daniel Hodges.

@cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social I know we're all busy with a lot right now, but I wanted to offer a point for DOB oversight going forward: when you call DOB, you are encouraged to use the live chat feature on the DOB website, but even at 9am on a weekday, there is no one staffing the chat. Frustrating.

Went to see a play about a mad king last night.

At the Amish weed booth anyone need anything
