I don't want to be in a situation for even an hour where I'm not enjoying myself

This may be the most cursed weather snapshot I’ve ever seen in DC
A smoky, humid horror of a weather snapshot with 4 weather alerts, a dew point of 76, and a real feel of 109

You could also hear her coaches emphasizing that they were proud of her regardless just before the results came in, a marked contrast to some other coaches stonily shaking their heads as results came in. Support and respect from every corner

This isn’t helpful. We need alerts in person. Already I’ve had to help older or less tech-inclined people figure out what’s happening at bus stops. This will make it worse for vulnerable passengers who are not plugged in

RIP Reliable Tavern in Petworth. Real neighborhood vibe but with cocktails to rival any of the fancy places. Haven’t found another to compare

So that's two deaths yesterday in DC due to traffic violence? Awful

Elias, one of the immigrants in this case, was detained by ICE on his way to his dialysis treatment. It was one of countless warrantless ICE arrests we've seen in DC. While detained, Elias was denied the care he needed and his health worsened. He died last week — just days before this ruling.

I like reactionary centrism to describe the more mercenary views that move around as the center moves as opposed to a more classically moderate view point that has some defined and grounded beliefs

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

I agree. It's doing harm to everyone to call criticism of Israel antisemitic. This poster is doing the same by acting like most disingenuous accusations of antisemitism are coming from Jews. I don't expect to convince bigots, but reasonable people should remember many Jews are leading the fight

Megan @megpete.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
By using “a Jew” here, you’re not doing yourself any favors on the antisemitism rap. By the numbers, there are way more Christian defenders of Israel’s heinous actions. You’re equating all Jewish people with Israel, when a significant portion of diaspora Jews are against Israel’s actions

One factor that Rhaina Cohen gets into in The Other Significant Others is that as the visibility of gay people increased, so did inward-facing homophobia with straight men becoming more self-conscious about being too close to each other.

It feels pretty major that X9, 79, S9 equivalents are going to be treated as express busses. Are they really going to charge nearly $5 a trip? That’s prohibitive and will drive wait times up on main corridors if you can’t afford it

New 311 number in DC: (202) 224-6542. Call with any pothole, traffic light outage, trash issue, or rat's nest you find, and ask for Chuck. You steal our money to do boring local government stuff and you can hear about every boring issue

This is the Friday the 13th horror all my group chats are focused on this week
Screenshot says: From Google:
"Nestled in the heart of Washington, D.C., Political Pattie's is a lively politically themed bar where debate flows as freely as the drinks. The walls are adorned with cheeky caricatures of past presidents and notable politicos, and every table comes with its own "gavel" to call order when conversations get heated. Whether you're a senator or just passionate about the latest headlines, Political Pattie's serves up craft cocktails like "Filibuster Fizz" and "Capitol Mule." With nightly trivia that puts your civic knowledge to the test, it's the place where politics and patties with a backdrop of curated musical selections come together in perfect, delicious harmony."

Jar-Jar Binks Lollipop (1999-1999): A promotional item for "Star Wars: Episode I", this candy featured the plastic likeness of character Jar-Jar Binks, whose mouth opened to reveal a retractable strawberry-flavored sucker, shaped and textured like his tongue. Delightful.

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.
