it's a revolution in walkin' around
and it's all like 6 companies. hell yeah
tipping the good vibes acoustic cover guy at the brewery to play nutshell
so good
the kryptonite u lock mount. almost sisyphean
now and then i remember that we banned the sale of lawn darts
title fight final tour
Metro Transit police backed up by Border Patrol officers just pulled a guy off the X2 for boarding without paying. Nobody else who boarded the bus paid either, mind you, but this guy was pointing and laughing at the police
sure
Operating an entire capital city on the paternalistic good faith of the federal government was always a huge mistake, one that is currently devastating D.C.’s residents. The perspective that the people of D.C. are real people and not some abstraction has been totally absent from The Discourse.
it's right there!

you do not gotta hand it to etc etc
lot of stairs there anyway
chairs are like facebook
"dunkin'." a "doughnut restaurant." the kind of perversion that could only exist here
can we get a single person in congress to talk like this please
we're about to find out something pretty important!
are an *easy target. tech companies have made years of choices to keep these workers in a highly exploitable grey area and steal their wages.
honestly feels very 19th century (and i am a big believer that there are valuable lessons to take from the *how* of 19th century mass politics)
all the songs from grease but in a baltimore accent
none of the great authors had timesheets, and many had some form of chemical poisoning

Zuck has to be one of the worst allocators of capital in history right? Who else is even in that conversation?
RAHHHHHHHHHHH
Alice In Chains August
tons of fine artists (myself included) have day jobs doing that stuff unfortunately
you basically only have 3 flavors of car these days. Window Egg with Stripe, Angry, and Classic But Worse Now
bit of a recurring pattern that any truths getting in the way of the president’s lies must be “investigated”
i would like a single week this year not marked by a return to the 19th century in some shape or form

Rector Yoimel González Hernández: "10 ICE vehicles were behind our St. Stephen & the Incarnation Episcopal Church, today Sunday, August 17, even while people were coming to our English service and while our feeding program Loaves and Fishes DC was distributing food to more than 100 people."
it is hard as hell to bring your art in front of a panel and speak to it. cheers on that alone
i wish something good would happen this year
[has forgotten his own assassination attempt]: like what?
expert timing ma'am
Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.
reporting littering in my neighborhood to the national guard
campaign contributors salivating at the prospect of snapping up art and artifacts for pennies on the dollar
all this reporting on dc's challenges but no mention that congress voided our rewrite of the criminal code then a few years later cut a billion dollars from our budget.🤷🏾
in support of this actually
August 11th is national 811 day. Life is a garden, call before you dig it.
Worth noting: Mayor Muriel Bowser kissed the ring at Mar-a-Lago in December so Trump would force federal workers back to their offices. He fired them instead. In July, she said she got rid of BLM Plaza to protect DC autonomy. That's not going well either. www.washingtonian.com/2025/07/08/i...
![A screenshot of a Washingtonian interview with Bowser from July, reading: Interviewer: I did want to ask you about Black lives Matter Plaza, which you recently decided to dismantle after Republicans in Congress started making an issue of it. I was just talking to someone who described it as one of the great public artworks of our time, and a large majority of Washingtonians disapproved of its removal, including 75 percent of Black Washingtonians. Do you think removing it was a mistake? Bowser: No. Interviewer: Why is that? Bowser: I agree that it was one of the greatest pieces of public art, but I probably think of it in that way for different reason than most because I know why I put [there]. I used public art to save our city from what I thought could be a very dangerous night [Fiday, June 5, just after protesters clashed with federal law-enforcement troops near the White House]. And I did it to protect protesters and to protect our neighborhoods. Now, I certainly didn't put it [there] because I thought people around the world would replicate it. I didn't really put it [there] to poke at Donald Trump. It was to give people a safe place to be, and our police a safe place to support peaceful protests. So I think that purpose was served. And having a mural stop us from being able to govern our city is not justifiable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2bqqvvbljclouzkz5r3oq36o/bafkreicmvia2svrr72pibgh5rcz26yw2qnveeaa6w4icnnkc6camhaxq3m@jpeg "Click to view full size")
special shoutout to local news outlets who did a story a week on "retail crime" for like three years
my final memory of that place is watching a guy walk into that location with the largest edible arrangement i'd ever seen
every democratically passed law and initiative. this doesn't end at MPD, although that won't stop at 30 days
there it is
this isn't the time for good faith discourse about how MPD does or doesn't conduct its business, because this isn't a good faith conversation about policing or crime in the District. it's about a serial liar coming up with more fake justifications to consolidate power. don't fall for it
the president, a serial liar who often makes up fake emergencies to give himself more power, is lying about a fake emergency to give himself more power. would be nice if local news media would acknowledge more clearly that's what's happening
dc statehood btw
ndeed
used to worry i did not have the vocabulary i needed to talk about art with art people. then i got over it. "this is badass," you can say to a person with an MFA. they cannot stop you
abraham lincoln is really the most aquarius man of all time. whole cabinet hated him. regularly called ugly and weird in the newspaper. rivetingly charismatic when he wanted to be. asexual
it's time for a new milk in america
New from 404 Media: we've seen and verified video of a CBP agent wearing Meta's AI glasses during immigration raid in LA. Glasses capable of recording, live-streaming, Meta plans to add facial recognition. Experts deeply concerned about this tech being abused by DHS www.404media.co/a-cbp-agent-...
one use of "illegal" here, very interesting

Read our blog post about the importance of tracking your rides w @Strava & @Garmin to ensure your cycling behaviours leading up to a crash are there for all to see in the event you have no memory of the crash or the driver is lying: www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/bike-ac...

I rode across the country during the 2021 wildfire season, in a kn95 on days when the avi was over ~80. it can be annoying but it made such a difference and I felt great at the end of the day.
fyi this is just the first condition they will impose

august is the most melancholy summer month. which makes it the best one
bethesda and chevy chase, of course, have few if any "big custom homes"

the only good dating advice is that you must learn to bear your suffering well. the reason most dating advice skews conservative is because it shares with conservatism the view that suffering should happen to other people
blunt rotation
crushed it
had several frosty Busch NAs recently. they nailed it. a pure intersection of the sacred and the profane

underappreciated album for sure
not enough of an artist to make a living doing it. but enough to have petty beefs with like ten people
an ambitiously empty story
these guys have so thoroughly retrained themselves to media attention like monkeys with a treat button they've forgotten what the fucking point of bribes are in the first place
too many people who just want to complain are in leadership positions instead
yup. that spike was scary as hell.
this is the million dollar question, to me, and I'm not sure we'll ever have a clear answer. it feels like I started seeing more actual traffic stops in 23-24.
bustang makes me feel good
It is not possible to find the words for this.

building the most dominant coal railroad in america. a decision made in the 2020s or in the 1820s? both? who can say really
we really do live in 19th century 2

watched this kind of recently and was in awe at how often this movie made the most expensive possible production decisions. not a good movie btw. it's king shit all the way down
youtube comments section for "baby I'm anarchist" is perfect
getting back into against me!
Who was president in 2018 and 2020 are the true intellectual questions of our time
