It's weird how AI is a transformationally useful tool for writing software, but our software sucks shit now more than ever. This would be like if the invention of the printing press made it harder to read - the exact opposite outcome of what was promised. Something's not right here...

Gotta say I hate this DC curfew crap, like we're living in North Korea, this is a free country. "But it's about safety" Oh really? Then why no curfew for suburban drivers after happy hour? Bc that would save a lot more lives than a youth curfew but they ain't doing that 🤔

this is a major reason why the ultra-rich used their control of media to promulgate stories about how bad the Biden economy was and to help Trump win the 2024 election:

Yet another big win for immigration, immigration just keeps giving

Republicans say they want to do nuclear armageddon bc some people are "woke" This is 1 million times worse than anything an Oberlin softmore has ever said and it will get 1 million times less media coverage 🚩🚩

If you want to meet the legend, he's bartending at the Pug tonight.

DC adds an average of 5,300 new housing units per year. Kenyan McDuffie's big plan is 12,000 new units by 2030. That's slower than the status quo! If that doesn't tell you what you need to know about McDuffie, IDK what will. hit.housingand.org/jurisdiction...

There is a level of consequences that must be brought against the billionaires and "elites" that they have bought their way out of for far too long before there can be any progress towards any state that could be considered remotely good.

Ward 1 #bikeDC voters, this race is wide open so consider voting at this endorsement meeting Saturday for the biggest pro-biking champion in our council race Miguel Trindade Deramo. Aparna Raj is also really great, and Rashida Brown worth a look. This is a good opportunity to impact the election.

Ward 1 is the most prosocial ward in DC. "Decided council voters back JLG for mayor at 62% with only 12% supporting Kenyan McDuffie."

Not defending Bluesky at all but it's crazy how much people memory hole things bc we were all on twitter and it was the exact same as this x10, and still is. This ain't a Bsky thing it's an "out of 100 people a handful are really annoying" thing, same at community meetings and everywhere else.

"The "woke" wanted us to do evidence-based criminal justice policy, which hurt our feelings so bad that we had to vote for civilization to die it was our only option." 🤔💀

Why would China do this to us

So it's been several years now where all this AI was supposed to be wildly improving software, but software has been getting worse, what gives!

hey wow look at that, i'm doing a newsletter: www.endnotes.net i promise it will be short.

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

Racist NIMBYs won.

Democratic House Rep. Ted Lieu tells the Joint Staff to ignore illegal orders to commit war crimes from Donald Trump: “If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.” 🔥

I've had my differences with @chenderson.bsky.social on some of her Council votes but I really hope she jumps into the race for Chair. She's super competent and I even think some of the things I don't like about her actions on council (a certain above-the-fray vibe) would serve her well as chair.

I don't watch Hasan Piker but I've seen enough to know the things they're saying about him sound like the "oh so you hate pancakes" guy in the "i love waffles" meme 🚩

The 4 Corners Pub in MoCo is nice and good, recommend 🍻

There are areas where the mayoral candidates are similar, or a little vague, or won’t have the deciding power anyway. But regarding bicycling, the difference is stark. @janeese4dc.bsky.social will keep us and our kids safe. moderatesforjaneese.substack.com/p/janeese-le...

It feels like the tide has turned and it's open season on derisively mocking the anti-woke now. "This guy keep hiring only idiots bc all the best people are "woke" or whatever." Things of that nature.

If you want to clearly see bias in the media, look at how they frame objective numbers like polling. If right wing trump winning by 1% of the vote gets framed as a "mandate" and left wing Mamdani winning by 20% gets framed as "struggles to connect", then the media's bias is laid bare.

It'd better!

@capitalweather.bsky.social beautiful colors tonight on the Washington Channel

Cooking is the best, it's like having fun playing an instrument but you get to eat it

Consider the infrastructure v enforcement debate settled. Car culture is a problem of public space. There is no policing your way to results as impressive as this.

Supposed to rain later but right now it’s gorgeous on the Mount Vernon Trail

Woke 2 is gonna be fucking awesome.

Beautifully misty day in DC 🤩

DC's affordable housing crisis is a policy choice. I'm running for mayor because I believe everyone who wants to should be able to live in our city. Read my full housing plan at the link in bio.

Means testing is EXPENSIVE. And people hate bureaucracy!! It’s faster and cheaper and more pleasant to just have it be available for everyone. but that’s why they want you to equivocate. The very idea of good governance undermines their whole project, and why they hate Mamdani so much.

We’re staring at the very entrance of sewer socialism. LFG.

It's time that being worried about "woke" gets mocked with derision, the same way being worried about like santa clause would.

DEI *is* meritocracy. The anti-DEI people are anti-meritocracy.

In @ggwash.org op-ed, @janeese4dc.bsky.social outlines her housing plans if elected mayor. She's pledging to build 72,000 housing units in her first term, double what @mayorbowser.dc.gov did; legalize small apartment buildings across D.C.; end parking requirements, etc. ggwash.org/view/102946/...

NEW: "The Park Service has every right to modify [Malcolm X Park], which so badly needs care, but doing so during the summer hurts all D.C. residents," writes @aliyabhatia.bsky.social, who lives near the park, in a new opinion piece. "Yes, the park deserves care. But so do our neighbors."

Take a quick survey by April 30 to tell the DC Office of Planning that the draft FLUM we have seen should be sent back to the drawing board: survey123.arcgis.com/share/61f668...

@janeese4dc.bsky.social is, indeed, a growth-knower, and I hope you will support her for mayor: janeesefordc.com

Pam Bondi and Donald Trump may think her firing gets her out of testifying to the Oversight Committee. They are wrong - and we look forward to hearing from her under oath.

One thing Trump has successfully done is cowed a lot of people into thinking they can't call for meaningful accountability for him and his cronies because it would be "revenge" or "political" and therefore illegitimate. Absolutely essential to reject that

Today's #MBTpubroll will enjoy the springtime at Metrobar, coinciding with the DC YIMBYs happy hour actionnetwork.org/events/dc-yi... I'll be there after 7PM to get some more bike miles in first

i made a chicken sandwich using doordash

This would’ve been so cool to see

Kenyan McDuffie says to look at his record. Well, a few years ago he offered to push for more homes for more people, and... nothing. moderatesforjaneese.substack.com/p/great-staf... @janeese4dc.bsky.social

On one hand nimby "environmentalists" pat themselves on the back for blocking bike trails, infill housing, and sewage infrastructure On the other hand they've caused the worst environmental disaster in DC So it's impossible to say if they're good for the environment or not.

Anyone having success getting 311 to ticket? All my requests have been hanging open for the past 2 months...

My hot take is that it is fine to give cars 1 day per year to be in places they don't belong, as a treat. The same exact policy should be true in many other places in DC, like 18th St in Adams Morgan.
