Or they just rewatch Andor.
That this supposed important piece of commentary from Rove can’t be read by most because it is behind a paywall is a good symptom of the problems we face.
At this point Epstein IS the distraction.
Oh wait the law says Trump can’t do that? Phew that’s a relief!
How much do you think it would cost to set it up, assuming no print distribution right away? $2b over 10 years?
Thanks.
Cool stats. How did you get them?
Saving Private Ryan.
Unleash the Archers
I think it’s called the “Dude, Best Wife Ever” award.
If my kid was trans I still love them more than life itself.
“Dont be a dick.” Truth.
From a Drive-by Truckers song about radios stations banning certain types of songs post 9/11: “Once they banned Imagine it became the same old war it’s always been.”
But the real response from ANC’s should be: “Thanks for the offer but we’d rather our flower beds be unmulched than be under military occupation.”
Send the Army Corp of Engineers to fix the fountain in Malcom X Park.
My daughter went from Paw Patrol to Mission Impossible in a blink.
I think residents of DC should treat ALL elected officials as our own. I never understood why advocates for DC, including EHN, never recommended that approach.
Seems like a Senator could easily goad RFK Jr into a “Damn right I ordered the code red” moment.
The My Pillow guy is like Lady Gaga in these parts.
I’d like to see the opposite. More lower traffic neighborhood streets converted from two way to one way which would open up more streets to protected bike infrastructure.
I’m afraid to ask. Did it involve an angry neighbor punching a DDOT staffer over the proposed location of a bike share station? That my personal favorite public engagement chestnut.
Getting close. Just need a protected bike lane from the trail to the DCI campus on Aspen St.
We got Chamberlain.
Rode bikes around Boston and Cambridge with my family earlier this summer. Decent infrastructure in Boston but a number of gaps and tough way finding. The connection from the east side oden downtown to the Charles River Trail was confounding. Both sides of the CRT need a resurfacing something bad.
No it’s not responsible governance, it’s an authoritarian power grab. Please treat it as such.
That’s just your opinion, man.
I want our elected leaders, all of them, outside Union Station chaining themselves to MRAPs.
What options exist for those that still want to get Covid booster shots? Asking for a country.

I’m not sure what Democratic members of Congress are doing in their home districts while on break but they have ceded the field to an autocrat.
You are almost there Joe. So close. Now just think if you know of a previous time and place in history, say 1940s Germany, where people became just numbers…to the point of having them tattooed on their arms.
A recent post from Andy Shallah talked about how Marion Barry could “harness the power of the city”. I’m not saying we need Barry back, but we sure do need elected officials with that ability.
He’s there because of the Park Police helipad I’m guessing. Don’t think a golf cart has the range to make it there from the White House.
Read the lyrics to “Waterfalls” by TLC the other day. Boy is that a dark song.
I guess “Democracy Dies in Darkness” is no longer a warning, just a statement of fact.
If the choice is between busting a dude for stealing bike seats at Union Station, and having the armed National Guard in mine-resistant vehicles outside welcoming people to the seat of our democracy, l take the bike seat guy 9 times out of 10. And I say this as a bike person.
Federal troops dispatched to Denver in 3, 2…..
The cartilage between my L5 and L6 vertebrae.
“But Bondi’s Thursday order completely shattered the illusion that Bowser could cooperate on friendly terms with Trump.” Exactly.
Come to DC! We have mine-resistant armored vehicles outside of Union Station!
JFC
Go get em!
Maybe I can fulfill our family dream of a Cantina Marina-like beer garden at Bladensburg.
Also telling is the first headline is from the NYT while the second, more anodyne headline, is from the Washington Post.
If we get out of this summit still owning Alaska I’ll count that as a victory.
So Mayor Bowser and the Chief of Police are thankful for the additional law enforcement resources…for this?
Not holding my breath waiting for the Proud Boy, Oath Keepers to respond to the government tyranny in DC. Isn’t this just the reason they all armed themselves to the teeth?
While we are all talking about crime in DC let’s not forget Donald Trump instigated the violence on J6 in an attempt to overturn the results of an election. Over 1200 of his violent supporters were convicted of crimes related to that day and all but 14 were then pardoned by Trump.
My understanding is that he can only use MPD to “for federal purposes”. Any idea what that means?
Whiskey in mine.
Never too late to start. I played a little when I was young and picked it back up later in life. It’s hard to find the time to learn and practice (work, family, life) but it’s worth every second.
I’m always very very polite when using AI (saying please and thank you, offering effusive praise) in the hope that I’m spared when our future AI overlords start murdering humans because we serve no purpose.
What does the Sportsplex include?
It’s Big Rinse Aid providing air cover for Big PFAS.
Is it me or is the native weather app iPhone just constantly wrong?
Shit.
In this scenario is it safer for the parent to ride in front of the child or behind? When I ride with my young daughter I tend to right in front or out to the left. Legit question.
“My names Johnny and this might be a sin…”
Can someone please ask him if he agrees with the DOJ that presidents should not be immune from prosecution for official acts?
Sonic Youth’s “Sister”. First time music ever scared me.
Jerry Garcia.
Seems like a smart approach. I moved a chunk into a money market to wait things out. A financial advisor recommended moving it back into equities. I’m pretty diversified and have time before target retirement to weather any shocks. But I’d still like to avoid having to rebuild after a downturn.
Been thinking of rebalancing my 401k holdings but have no idea what to expect. Signs seem to be pointing toward some sort of correction but down is up these days.
Great! Now we can buy that extra F-35 we always wanted.
DDOT put out an RFP for new bus shelters recently. Not sure how many new ones will be added and where.
They need to triple the bike valet capacity at Nats Park. Midweek game was chockablock.
Didn’t DC rip up BLM plaza because of this very threat?
Do we actually have air launched/dropped tactical nukes?
@bikeshare.bsky.social Found W01380, which could be a bike from the second wave of new CaBis back in 2011-ish. It was laying abandoned in the middle of the Aldi parking lot off Queens Chapel all busted. Still managed to get me home. The B-17s of bikes they are. Now locked at 18th and Monroe NE.
Derry Girls.
The passing of the stopped school bus with the red flashing lights is the real problem here. The other part of the test seemed designed to make it fail. And I’m not a fan of Tesla or full self driving tech.
This is gross.
I’m actually coming around to IPAs.
$10 says the tanks will park in the bike lane.
Was at the NACTO Designing Cities conference in DC recently and found myself starting a lot of conversations with “Back in my day…”.
As a sheltered straight suburban white boy who moved to DC in the mid 90’s I learned so much about diversity and tolerance from just spending time in that park. Everyone should have that opportunity, esp during Pride.
So now he’s tariffing specific companies, not just countries. US companies at that.
I thought it was a really good survey. Free bike <->bus/rail transfers would be great.
Thanks. Now I’m just a little bit better informed than I was when I woke up. Much appreciated.
Normie here. What does “rare” mean in this context? I consider myself to be reasonably intelligent and thought rare earth elements were indeed hard to find.
Yet the Star Trek world that is free of need and want will always remain science fiction.
I’d look into one of these: clip.bike. Cool start up that got incubated by Newlab in NYC.
I always assume everyone driving is a moron and laws mean nothing to them.
DC to Martin: FU.
50 Ways to Leave Your Lover.
I’m glad someone posted this clip. It’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
How’s the new book? His WWII trilogy are among my favorite books on the subject.
Hmm. I wonder how these tariff negations with China are going to go?
Sorry just read your earlier post. Sounds like not much is being said.
Has she said anything about the recent ICE raids?
Proud Mundo Verde parent!
A lot of vets from the PTO would like a word.
If you are going to remodel the Alamo be sure to add basement bike storage.
Running nuclear subs down Penn Ave in DC will really chew up the pavement.
Did you do the boulder scramble in the dark?
Same thing happened when I searched for “The Weight Levon Helm”.
Hopefully this won’t eventually lead to a busted back from sitting on hard bleachers for 5 hours to watch your kid swim for all of 10 total minutes at a local meet. That was my Saturday.
Any such tariff label should also include this important clarification: “This is an additional cost we are choosing to pass along to our customers in the form of higher prices in order for the corporation to maintain its profit margins.”
“…and that son is how I ended up in Gitmo.”
