SCOOP: The NIH is moving to prohibit funded scientists, inside and outside the agency, from collecting data about gender, according to a draft policy I obtained. It’s part of the NIH’s aggressive crackdown on gender-identity research.

Gender Data Would Be Off-Limits Under Proposed NIH Policy
A draft rule would bar scientists funded by the agency from collecting data about gender identity, following other steps the administration has taken to restrict research on LGBT topics.

I went to a DC Breeze pro ultimate frisbee game today. I saw a rare play, a “dropped pull”, twice, both times committed by Montreal Royal.

The new Jagermeister commercial where a bartender is headbutted - and by implication - gored and presumably killed by a magical stag for the sin of serving Jagermeister warm: what lesson am I supposed to derive from this?

CJ Abrams got hit by a pitch TWICE. DBacks fans gave a standing ovation for the first out they recorded. Truly one of the wildest half first-inning ever recorded.

I know there’s a lot of doom and gloom around the franchise…but the

are easily the best “bad team” in baseball. It feels like we need to plug only a few holes to have a playoff contender.

Four guys watching the 2002 Takoma Park Independence Day Parade. This is from a roll of film I shot 23 years ago as a doe-eyed 19-year-old photo student while home on summer break. I had the film developed only last week.

Final: Nats 4, Orioles 3. James Wood hit the game-tying homer in the 8th. Nasim Nuñez produced the game-winning run by beating out a chopper to first. Kyle Finnegan closed out 5 1/3 innings of 1-run (unearned) ball by the Nationals bullpen.

Andor Season 2 is some of the most radical media I’ve ever seen put to film for a mainstream audience. Like it’s literally wild that Disney has a series about how to resist fascism with violence.

I'm organizing a silly Taco Ride in DC this Saturday. It's a super casual, no-drop, self-supported ride that hits three of my favorite taquerias in the DC area. Each stop is near a metro, and there's a bonus ice cream stop at the end. I hope you all can come!
