I'm always surprised by what trips in the DMV are faster and cheaper on an ebike than getting on the Metro.

"DHS remained the largest federal law enforcement agency with massive funding, sweeping surveillance authority, and worryingly unclear checks on its own power... a loaded weapon sitting on a president's desk in the Oval Office, only held back by their personal sense of temperance and restraint."

@alexandriavagov.bsky.social I only almost fell a couple of times trying to get over the route 1 bridge on foot. Southbound is in terrible shape; northbound is not much better, and the sidewalks around both are basically impassable. pls fix thx

I never miss an opportunity to complain of the distinctly American ridiculousness of boarding @amtrak.com trains from a single queue. Better things are possible.

I know being outraged about bad writing in 2024 is quaint, but I can't stop thinking about how bad this sentence is. Why do I need to know how hot and fast it is if that doesn't produce faster drying? Why also communicate that your measurement wasn't actually precise?
 With airflow at 88 mph and a temperature surpassing 245 °F he hottest temperature our weather meter could measure), the Supersonic doesn't dry hair any faster than our pick, but it is more pleasant to use in almost every way due its unique design.

Using Firefox as my default mobile browser is uphill skiing, but today I learned it literally costs me more. (That I discovered this at all is because getting Google Pay to work in Firefox is a roll of the dice; sometimes when it errors it tells me to "use a browser app like Safari or Chrome.")🖕🏾

"brought to you by those who drink it" is such a defensive way to say that you don't think The Rock drinks his tequila? Unless there's a Clooney-Cranston beef I don't know about.
