NIMBYs worship at the altar of this psuedo social hierarchy, and YIMBYs are the people who correctly find the whole thing quite silly and don't believe in it.

And tonight starting at 8pm, Metro will be fare-free and open until 2am so people can celebrate New Year’s Eve safely! 🎊

boycotting the Kennedy center is just like dropping a WaPo subscription or quitting Twitter. It rankles the worst people in the same way because it reminds them that normie liberals have agency, which they don’t like

They should make Judge Dredds from the film Judge Dredd but just for people who play things on their phone out loud without headphones

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors www.politico.com/news/magazin...

it rocks that Matthew Yglesias’ entire theory of politics has been vaporized in the last year and yet he is more insufferable than ever

The Purple Line is powered up! Trains can now be seen along parts of the alignment through neighborhoods, communities, and right outside your front door. 🎥 See train testing in action: https://ow.ly/5OnI50XNJL8. #PurpleLinePoweredUp

A state of mind should be encouraged that anything can be sabotaged.

64 days in Chicago: The story of Operation Midway Blitz. Our team fanned out to cover the before, during and after of the federal government’s months-long raid on an American city. This is worth your time to understand the United States today www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...

Don’t pay rideshare prices this New Year’s Eve! Take advantage of free fares on Metro bus and rail from 8 PM on December 31 to 2 AM on January 1. 🎉

This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

very specific to DC complaint here but when trump is threatening to take over the city's historically significant public golf courses so he can privatize them and make them another getaway for the 1% i don't think going "well maybe they shouldnt be golf courses to begin with" is helpful or realistic

The DC public golf courses are what golf *should* be in America and *is* in Scotland, Ireland, and England. They are communal treasures and the opposite of the kind of golf elitism that makes most of Bluesky hate golf. You do not want these courses to get ransacked unless you're just performing

We at ProPublica obtained internal government data in May that showed the Trump administration knew the vast majority of Venezuelans sent to El Salvador had not been convicted of violent crimes. Our reporting is featured in Frontline. Read our full coverage: www.propublica.org/series/depor...

Transplants are migrants, like that's literally what they are. All the people who hate transplants and have normalized hating transplants are cut from the same cloth as, and have laid the groundwork for, the immigrant-hating maga crowd. A pox on both their houses.

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness. You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

Metro’s return to ATO has been a success for better service. Much safer w/ no Red signal violations since ATO, 🚇 OTP has increased so more reliable, faster for less travel time & we have saved millions for more frequency. I’ll never stop thanking the team that made this happen.

Driving across the county bc you have a fear of flying is like writing with a gun bc you have a fear of pencils...

Have sadly been online long enough to know that MattY is a walking talking Dunning-Kruger effect so this informed response won't mean anything to him, but it's great to see others start to catch on.

The thing we need to take away from Epstein is that people with more power need to be MORE subject to the law than the average Joe, rather than less. Presidents, billionaires, and cops should go to jail and lose everything for even the APPEARANCE of impropriety of any sort.

Truly sick and tired of the exhaustingly tedious official reviews of whether a slight bobble does or does not negate a catch in football, what are y'all even talking about man stfu

countdown to UVA becoming, by order of the Governor and General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia, more woke than theorists previously imagined possible

"Our city is built out."

Sadly I'm only top 4% in trips but curious how my 54 stations compares to the field! And thanks @wmatagm.bsky.social @wmata.com for letting us enter multiple smartrip cards this year as I had to replace one in October!

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

I'm a broken record about this, but the suburban Americans who love to monger about how dangerous cities are cannot safely go for a walk in their own neighborhood bc of cars, and they all know it. Cities are far safer than suburbs and I'm sick of the anti-city propaganda pretending otherwise.

I had to stop running for a while last summer. I walked instead and was struck by how nice it was. Why did no one tell me about “walking.”

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No. Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality. Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

As an able-bodied frequent traveler, I most certainly do NOT bemoan this. In fact, I bemoan the human being who wrote this - what a sick fuck.

I can't make it but I vouch for Olive Lounge being a great spot!

DC's council spent the last year or so ruthlessly crushing every DC small local business selling recreational weed, they caused all that needless harm for nothing in the end 💀

Interesting: Trump may just have legalized recreational weed sales in D.C. A congressional rider has banned those sales in D.C. since 2015. But it specifically references Schedule I drugs, which weed was. With Trump rescheduling marijuana, the rider may no longer apply.

Come join us for the final #MBTpubroll of the year! We're completing our 4-part series exploring the MBT extension to Takoma by starting at 5:30pm at Olive Lounge all the way in Montgomery County then cruising safely home to our beloved DC for a night cap at #1 Dew Drop Inn. Happy holidays 🚲🎅🍻!

i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

Tomorrow is the final #MBTpubroll of 2025, and the finale of our 4-part series celebrating the milestone MBT extension to Takoma. If you haven't checked it out yet...it's awesome, come join us! Starting at 5:30 at Olive Lounge in MD, then cruising to our DC fave Dew Drop to finish out the year. 🚲🍻🎉

Very funny that the American Right aggressively rebranded as the "FACTS DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS" party after Jon Stewart made fun of their bad gut instincts 20 years ago and now they put their feelings over facts more than ever.

Wild how Montgomery County NIMBYs aren't complaining about these gigantic eye sore data centers but they hold press conferences calling it a mass death war crime to build townhomes for people 🤔

Clear evidence that McDuffie continues to have no beliefs or unifying desire or plan, just an amoral attachment to power. I want to be Ward 5 CM, no AG, no at-large CM, no Mayor, I'm die hard Democrat, no an independent, no a Democrat.

Kenyan mcduffie will be a terrible mayor for DC. He will give his big outside donors the keys to the city to do whatever they want and that's it, that will be his entire mayoralty. Do not help this man let his buddies pillage our district.

Gotta say though, where the NIMBYs been at on all these massive eye sore data centers until now? Do your thing NIMBYs. You won't let a single apartment home get built but you've been letting all these monstrosities get passed you? Come on.

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud

It is insane to presume a team made exclusively of squares is the best of the best. It most certainly is not. Requiring government agencies to be comprised completely of squares makes them weaker not stronger.

When your Metro train isn't coming for another 6 minutes in this freezing DC cold so you just board the train heading in the opposite direction to warm up for one stop 🚇🥶

Fascinating. And nobody said it wasn’t the appropriate time? Huh.
