Welp Lisa Raymond just lost my vote for DC Council

Chatbot sycophants are turning themselves into chatbots 🚩🚩 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

Looks like roll is rained out tonight, but will post up at Irish Channel by Chinatown station starting at 5:30pm if anyone wants easy metro access to come hang out for #MBTpubroll

Hahaha yes eat shit nimbys 🔥 www.alxnow.com/2026/05/18/d...

Watch out for the Bike Lobby they tell us while the road industry spends more $$$$ on lobbying alone than the entire bike industry is worth... 🤔 "Road industry groups spend over $100 million on lobbying every year.”

#MBTpubroll is leaving from Congress Heights tomorow at 1:30pm for a special circuitous Ward 8 ride to Anacostia River Featival then Trusty's for a cold one. Come one come all come pub roll 🚲🍻

Fountain's back on at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park and fully accessible all fences down, it's been so long, still as breathtaking as ever 🤩

Join #MBTpubroll tonight for a Right Proper pub stay redux at their new kitchen location in Brookland starting at 5:30pm. And a reminder that the pub roll this week is a special ride through Ward 8 on Saturday leaving from the Congress Heights Metro station at 1:30pm 🚲🍻

Compare and contrast with the "we just need more police to catch bad drivers after they kill someone" mobility policy of most urban authorities.

"The lack of a bike lane on M Street...is a safety crisis that needs to be treated as such. With the mayoral race heating up, now is exactly the moment to demand better. No one should have to risk their life just to get to work."

Who’s been a very effective centrist local executive recently whose not in DV proper (either in the region or elsewhere in the US) on housing, transportation, general government efficiency, economic development, etc? Like who’s the mirror opposite of Marc Elrich?

Really excited for this ride! We’re planning interpretative stops that will help us better understand local possibilities and concerns. Congress Heights and the former St. Elizabeth’s campus. THEARC. Barry Farm. The Bridge District. More! Hope to see you there!

Hear ye hear ye! Come join a special #MBTpubroll as we tag along on this awesome Ward 8 ride Saturday, May 16th starting 1:30pm at Congress Heights Station and ending at the Anacostia River Festival. Afterwards we'll pop over to Trusty's for a cold one. Come one, come all, come ride Ward 8 🚲🎉!

Every Republican state treats its cities as conquered territories to be ruled by fiat, and this gets approximately one thousandth the degree of national attention and critique as anytime a Republican voter in California or New York feels underappreciated.

Awesome thing about DC (and every cool city) if you're a local is you learn to keep it movin past the crowded places bc you know there's like 10 equally good or better alternatives nearby

When this is all over and we're doing Reconstruction 2.0 we need to just declare a national emergency to e.g. build high speed rail across the country over the objections of the nimbys

love to watch chinese researchers invent shit like this while our entire economy has been reoriented around generating jpgs of pregnant Garfield

So excited that the 8th St SE Bus Priority project construction has begun after years of planning Check out this sweet bus platform! Thank you DDOT!!

How come we don’t have a DnD themed bar? Decorated like thieves world tavern, shady characters in every corner, sputtering lanterns for lighting, mead on tap, etc etc seems like a business opportunity - who’s in?

DC so beautiful 😍

I’m not satisfied with progressive ideas that get stuck on paper. I’m running to be Ward 1’s next Councilmember because I want to work block by block to make them real.

Very Serious People™ told us that "woke" mayors caused the nationwide covid crime spike, and now that "woke" mayors have driven crime to record lows it's fucking crickets from those people... 🤔

Upper Northwest can’t heal from its history’s wounds if the District continues to reserve it for a privileged few.

The secret magic sauce is just building a bunch of protected bike lanes that go everywhere

1. ticket reciprocity 2. deputize teens to boot out-of-state cars with high outstanding balances pretty sure I just solved two problems at once. you're welcome

Clark Mercer, the head of Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, just said on Politics Hour that he expects the long-running issue of ticket reciprocity to be solved "in a few months," citing the recent meeting of Bowser-Moore-Spanberger. That'd be huge for DC...but will it really happen?

So excited to be at the groundbreaking ceremony of The Sage, an upcoming housing project by the Housing Opportunity Commission right next to the Shady Grove Metro station. This project is possible thanks to powerful tools like the Housing Production Fund. #HousingForAll

New #MBTpubroll spot just dropped 👀!

#MBTpubroll is doing a pub stay at Dew Drop today starting at 5:30pm. Nestled mere feet between the largest bike and train super thoroughfares in the city, come watch the 🚲🚂 world go by with us on this beautiful spring day in DC 🍻

Gotta say this is a real Lucy with the football argument. So we amend the Constitution and then SCOTUS "interprets" that no we didn't and we're right back where we started. Changing SCOTUS is the only path forward.

You want the rain off your head you want the sun off your eyes, you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Gotta say it's economically concerning how readily AI proponents concede the importance of needing highly bespoke "guardrails." Bc that's incompatible with a product for the masses. You can't scale up bespoke guardrails.

As a huge soccer fan who has never played the sport, it seems to me the biggest mistake players make is taking too many touches in the box instead of just getting the volley off. Am I missing something?

People say riding the bus is for "the lower class" until a bus lane is proposed then bus riders magically transform into privileged elites... 🤔

Want

This game is really fun metro-memory.com/dc I'm embarrassed by how spelling held me back. Less so that I forgot the least used stops on silver and orange. Give it a try!

Schrodinger's bus rider is both a "criminal poor" and a "privileged elite" depending on whether a driver observes them wanting a bus stop in their neighborhood or a bus lane on their commute home 🤔🚩

"Welcome to Brookland go fuck yourself" 🤔

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

This is crazy.

We live in a Crackpotocracy these days. Our institutions have become enthralled with credulousness and we need to return to ostracizing kooks and tinhats again.

It's a low bar but DC drivers are the best in the country. Go try to use a crosswalk in Philly, NYC, Boston, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, etc. and they will become infuriated and try to run you down. DC better than all of them.

This may be shocking, but despite being a vocal e-bike proponent I had never actually ridden one before last night. I had two takeaways: 1. It was remarkable how easy it made riding. Cruising at 18 mph while pedaling lightly was incredible. 2. E-bikes are so much fucking fun.

There are changes coming to some Metrobus routes due to the Metro budget passed today. Go to the bottom of this article to see if your line is affected. There were some last minute changes, so some proposed improvements won't happen, at least for now. #wmata wjla.com/news/local/m...

oh no someone defaced the banner of Dear Leader in Logan Circle, Washington, DC

Come join #MBTpubroll today at Atlas Brewery in the new bridge district starting at 5:30pm to enjoy this beautiful weather! Then biking up NJ to the MBT to Lost Generation brewery. Come one, come all, come pub roll 🚲🍻🌞
