I also think that the most important thing that can happen in November is for Democrats to retake Congress. To the extent that Becerra is certain to make the general, voting for Steyer is the path to a GOP lock out, which will suppress conservative turnout in contested California house races.

Nationals Park in Washington, DC is the rare American sports venue best accessed by bike, train, or foot.

We have 120+ fatalities a year in San Diego from reckless driving, because drivers get away with doing whatever TF they feel like.

the most surreal thing about this era of open yelling about masculinity is that, if you grew up anything like I did, you were exposed to several sets of standards of masculinity and would be hard pressed to identify which of them the Paxtons and Millers of the world are living up to

Maybe they should pick something that tastes okay

Weather in the DC metropolitan area is downright Californian today. Hope you got a bike ride in.

The Durango Kid picked up a stage at the Giro 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Get your ass down to Harris Teeter to stock up on the single best frozen food item ever made.

Fuck's sake.

Major bummer that Chicago's banning short-term rentals. We stayed in one a block from Wrigley with grandparents, and it was great. There aren't nearly enough hotels there.

I never would have guessed this to be the #1 most popular O/D pair, but...

The Fed made a nice table for those interested in seeing more detail. www.federalreserve.gov/publications...

They "fear[] the area could become a food desert with fewer affordable food options"? The median household income in North Sunnyvale is 186k a year.

I was wondering why they were covered up.

Here we go.

Catering to braindead slobs is unappealing but them's the breaks. Finding a way to rhetorically cater to people like this is essential and the stakes are too high to discard marginal votes.

Happy 10th anniversary of the jackpot video for those who celebrate youtu.be/bn28Dz4RUxc?...

They’re going to start arresting attorneys who defend immigrants.

So many people consider their would be neighbors to be pollution and it’s fucking weird

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Anyway, me and my partner are signing a lease at a market rate apartment today, that was built in the last 5 years, and is currently being rented at rents affordable to 60% AMI. Tenant advocates have really inflicted untold suffering on Californian renters it’s unreal.

Everyone knows that if you can’t afford a new car, you buy a used car, but if new cars stop getting made, suddenly the used cars get more expensive. However, new car manufacturing should be banned because trickle down economics doesn’t work. I am very smart. 😜

I think a central distinction between Dems who are successful going forward and Dems who flounder will be whether or not they have the moral clarity to point squarely at what Trump and MAGA are doing and loudly say "this evil must end".

Residents of Arlington: of all the Parks amenities, we care most about trails Arlington DPR: let's ask about anything but trails. Let's not develop staff expertise in trails or develop design standards for trails

7:20p Springsteen update: While there will probably be some poorly timed rain at Nationals Park between 8 and 11pm, even a chance of thunder, it may not be as bad as it looks on radar, as the cluster may weaken as it gets closer and the heaviest rain could veer south of DC.

for the first time VA and MD have governors who have championed housing production, but the politics remain challenging, as @ebwhamilton.bsky.social notes

55-fold increase in density >>>> gentle density.

American women are non-persons if doctors are forbidden by law from saving our lives. We are property of a theocratic state--human sacrifices to the patriarchy.

Norm called it, so it’s official now: ebike summer begins now!

This weekend Baltimore was host to a death metal festival and an Islamic convention. Our hotel was full of metalheads, including one drinking brown liquor at breakfast, and lots of people in religious garb. USA, baby! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It only took the Libertarian Party five years, a national chair resigning in protest, a lopsided supermajority of their membership quitting, and physical fights at their half-attended convention to decide they'd finally cut ties with the literal nazis who'd taken over one of their state parties.

ah, the sunrise movement,

hard to feel great about this. my feeling is that xrisk from LLMs is majority nuclear risk

Counting down the minutes until I spend an entire paycheck on cheese and charcuterie. Having to ride a bike 10 minutes to the Clarendon Whole Foods has probably saved my children from penury, but I'll be able to walk here in seven minutes.

This is an image of an electric motorcycle

*the worst anti-kid bluesky doomer you’ve ever seen watching “children of men”* “finally, a movie that captures my ideal society”

Kids prefer bikes, trains, and buses to cars, unless your car is equipped with Disney+.

Go absolutely bananas with snacks and treats at baseball games

As a lifelong Dodgers fan it was great to see Kenley Jansen blow a save while playing for a other team. Go O's!

Pickles taste bad? Dill issue.

silver spring’s hottest new club is the soft opening of the new royal farms on georgia avenue, which is *already sold out* 😤 mocoshow.com/2026/05/23/r...

All joking aside, we’re better off if Trump finds some victory narrative (no matter how ridiculous) and pulls the plug.

"Illegal immigrant" has never meant anything besides "non-white person." Never.

A striking, clarifying fact not noted here is that, per Reuters yesterday, all but 3 of the 6069 refugees admitted to the US under Trump have been white South Africans. Trump isn't focused on whether immigrants are "legal" but whether they're white. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/23/u...

This is bad. WH app to be installed on all govt-owned phones 1. The WH app is delivers blatantly partisan political content 2. Known to have weak security, including "shares the IP addresses, time zones and other data of users with third-party services" www.govexec.com/management/2...

this is one of the dumbest things about that dumb piece, the idea that working class people don’t drink “fancy” beers is fucking absurd if you actually know any working class people, that’s an idea that’s at least two decades out of date and was wrong from the beginning
