If you're looking to go to a great new bar in DC, go to Eebee's at an unusual time (bc otherwise you won't get in) 🍻

The fakest Olympic event is "team skeleton" wherein two people completely independently sled down the course (not relay, not different skills/courses, not interactive in any way, not even one right after another) and their times are combined and somehow that makes them a "team" lmao. No.

Washington DC wildlife: Great blue heron by the icy Potomac River this morning with the Key Bridge in the background. 🪶

My most populist opinion is that America would be a better place if we went a couple of decades banning anyone who went to Harvard or Yale from government jobs.

Republicans: "we are ordering all federal agents that we control to violate civil rights bc this is the true patriotic purpose of these agents, we're publishing this order for all to see" Democrats: "these RoGuE agents are the problem!" 🤔💀

Make this woman DC's next mayor pls!

The Amtrak and even MARC trains we have now can get from DC to Baltimore in 15 minutes if they could use a slightly straighter railroad. Every time this easy common sense upgrade is proposed, some car-industry-backed snake oil salesman like musk swoops in to promise magic fairy beans instead 🤔🚩

Some people are calling it the flag of Woke 2

What a blessed False Spring-esque day in DC rn, it's wonderful outside 🤩

This is so spot on

Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police.

To me the trick is to hang on like a remora to people you do vibe with, wherever and whenever you meet them. Invite them to stuff, schedule zooms when they’re away, send gooey texts. It’s rare to really click with someone, you gotta keep the clicks going

Nobody looks more beat to shit after their event than the ski + shoot guys, they all look like Tim Ribbons in Shawshank Redemption

huuuuuge thank you to everyone who organized #TranspoBINGO and so honored to win the playmaker award and all of this amazing stuff :)

Was reading an Atlantic article and the paywall thingy came up and it said “support fact-checked journalism” so i closed the article to go find some.

💯convinced that elites WANT there to be a bunch of homeless people as a way to scare normies away from cities and public spaces into atomized lifestyles that are much easier to exploit. Housing homeless costs less than doing nothing and improves everything, there's only Machiavellian reasons not to.

Staring at #TranspoBINGO active social from across the river, we'll see y'all real soon!! 🎉 🎉

Hey #MBTPubroll - Travis is running a little late, so I'm your substitute host for a few minutes! Find me in a brown cardigan inside. #transpoBINGO

My 19th #TranspoBINGO square is "group play" bc I'm on the green line to Solace in Navy Yard for my beloved #MBTpubroll. Unfortunately I'm running late from working in Annapolis today but I'll see you all there soon. Come one, come all, come pub roll 🚲 🚇 🍻

My 18th #TranspoBINGO square is "make your own transit game" which is to RUN out at the Prince George's Plaza stop on the green line to grab a cup of coffee from Dunk's in time before the next train to Greenbelt. My mission was successful...this time. Can you beat this game?

My 17th #TranspoBINGO square is "track your transpo impact" and I've got good news! I surpassed the goal I set for myself last year to visit even more than 52 metro stations - I did 54! Welp, guess I better visit even more than 54 this year let's goooo!

My 16th #TranspoBINGO square is "play tourist" bc I took a break from working and walked over to the Annapolis State House to check out all the speeches and other happenings. On another note, we need decent transit access to Annapolis, the state capital, it's crazy we don't.

World class headways on @wmata.com today folks 🤩!

🎉We’re wrapping up an incredible week of #TranspoBINGO! Join us TONIGHT, Feb 12, 6 pm at Atlas Brew Works (Bridge District) for our Active Transit Social. Celebrate the week, swap stories, meet fellow players & win prizes. 5-min walk from Anacostia Metro. Free food (while it lasts). Kid-friendly.

political malpractice that this chart hasnt been seared into the brains of every single american through advertising and social media

My 15th #TranspoBINGO square is "stargaze and wonder" out here in the boondocks of Fort Totten waiting for a lonely D44 home from Jackie Lee's on New Hampshire. I grew up in the South and could not be more grateful to live in a place with such stellar, if imperfect, transit 🌠🤩

From paving over Black Lives Matter Plaza to making sure MPD cooperates with ICE, I’ve given the President and Republicans everything they’ve asked for, so I’m truly baffled that they would screw DC over like this.

Still processing the news that the Washington Spirit traded Croix Bethune to KC at her request.

It's hard to describe the vast damage Biden did to DC by letting Congress overturn our criminal justice reform, damage that will never be reversed until we have statehood. Parties are supposed to highlight their differences; which is the party of DC self-government? How could anybody tell?

My 14th #TranspoBINGO square is "non-wmata transit" bc I'm taking the Montgomery RideOn 20 bus from East Silver Spring (to the red line to a CaBi) to get to Jackie Lee's. Gotta say it's not lookin good out here folks, they do not treat transit riders with access or dignity around these parts 😬

My 13th #TranspoBINGO square is "new-to-you neighborhood" bc I walked over after work to explore East Silver Spring for the first time. Ended up at the bar at El Sitio practicing my Spanish 🍹

My 12th #TranspoBINGO square is "better bus edition" bc I commuted through the DTSS bus station which is a better bus jackpot! We got the Ds, the Ps, the Ms, and even a C! I take the D6X to work, which will always be the S9 to me 🚍

Mar-a-Lago face is a core industry now

Today's Washington Post filled space with a months-old story about a wine theft in Virginia. Bizarrely, an identical article had already appeared in December—on the newspaper’s front page.

#MBTpubroll is joining forces once again with #TranspoBINGO tomorrow to cap off the week! In light of icy conditions, we're going to start at 5:30pm at Solace in Navy Yard and then have a nice and easy walk, bike, or metro across the Anacostia to the finale social at Atlas in the Bridge District 🚲🚇🍻

I'll be honest I just paid $$$ to ride the Next Gen Acela for the first time and similarly to these new Airo trains I did not love the austere seats nor the unfriendly GTFOH cafe car. I guess I can understand they don't want people posting up in the cafe but sry that is a merry scene worth keeping.

If you have spent all of the 21st century *not* taking any of the extremely hyped things seriously (WMDs, subprime mortgage boom, Fyre festival, NFTs, crypto, AI, etc), you'd be batting 1000. This has sadly been the era of fake hype and you can continue to not fall for it.

"I don't like taking the Metro because it's too unreliable" says driver as they smash their car onto the Metro tracks...

My 11th #TranspoBINGO square is "transport something weird" bc I walked over to my small neighborhood grocery store to pick up the remaining ingredients I need for making enchiladas for dinner (also grabbed some desert from my favorite local baker). Every neighborhood should have a grocery store!!

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

My 10th #TranspoBINGO square is "celeb on transpo" bc I walked a couple miles over to see the famous venerable monks walk for peace, who themselves got to DC from TX via active transpo! ☮️

My 9th #TranspoBINGO square is "thank a transpo hero" bc I got to bump into @swiderski.bsky.social waiting for the D6X on our morning commute yesterday and we both happily thanked the bus driver in Silver Spring!

Walk for peace over Rock Creek in DC ♥️

My only ever perfect Junctions, but will need to look up what a pantograph is. Thanks @beyonddc.bsky.social as always! 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Maybe this is a hot take but if you feel like you constantly need to be spying on what everyone else is doing you need therapy not a ring camera.

"when i have to upload a selfie+ID to use an internet communications service is when i stop using that service. you can communicate quite well w/out the internet, and that's what i intend to do, if it comes to that I was alive before the internet and I'll still be alive after the internet is over."

The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.

Absolutely spectacular ending to the Man City Liverpool game ⚽🤩

EXACTLY. Yes, there have been reports of DHS revoking TSA Precheck for observers. I’m sorry, but that’s such a comically low-stakes reprisal that if you’re not willing to suffer it, hard to imagine what good you are as an observer. Yes, I’ll take my shoes off at the airport to save my neighbors.
