New in PN: Dems need get serious about DC statehood. For real. "Republicans act like DC residents need to earn their political rights, something they supposedly have not yet done. But consider this: If DC were populated by white Republicans, would it have statehood by now? We all know the answer."

RIP Robert Redford. You taught me it was okay to be Extremely Handsome.

The best music festival names are found in countries wheee English isn’t the first language. Germany has an “Enjoy Jazz Festival.”

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

I don’t like walking in the city when the summer air is heavy and still, but I do like how it lets you catch the scent of the perfume or cologne of someone who’d walked where you were walking many minutes before.

I dreamt I was at a bar/venue and some guy walked up, took my laptop, and started putting it in his backpack. I called 911 and said I was being robbed. The 911 operator asked me where I was and I said, “Black Cat.” He said, “Yeah, I’ve heard that will happen there.”

Overheard on 18th Street NW: “They were all like, ‘Wow, you’re so talented,’ and I was like, ‘Catholic school, bitches!’ “

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”

I had a highly disturbing dream where I learned that JD Vance played bass on the Elastica album.

Tricky Wordle today but I persevered and reached a streak of 200. 😎

I dreamt a war had started and I was at a kitchen sink filling a pickle jar to stockpile water. Then I noticed there were still pickle slices in the jar, so I dumped it and started rinsing it out. I thought maybe I shouldn’t be burning through the last of the tap water, but I wanted a clean jar

Honest question: If the researchers know which monkeys are getting medicine, then why give the other monkeys a placebo?

I didn’t even read the essay. I just smugly nodded to myself.

I saw two Waymo taxis driving in DC today. They aren’t approved to start service here until next year. I’m guessing they’re learning DC streets for now?

A pricey 4th of July? 96% of fireworks are made in the birthplace of fireworks, China.
