DoorDash walked into a buzzsaw of criticism and boycotts in D.C. this summer when it backed a Republican bill that would restrict when city lawmakers can impose new taxes and fees. The delivery company is now walking back that bill: www.washingtonsun.com/metro/doorda...

DoorDash Apologizes for Siding With GOP Bill Targeting D.C.

The company still wants the D.C. Council to make changes to a new delivery fee taking effect Thursday.

Sophie's choice: would you rather suffer less intensely but for a longer total period of time, or would you rather suffer more intensely but in a shorter window of time?

In line for the John Green book tour and the audience looks exactly how I would expect. So nice to be surrounded by strangers who are nice and friendly.

This will only make sense to fans of both mtg and Steven Universe, but with the latest story, Tam is basically Steven Universe. Has their parents spark/gem, has to clean up the mess they made, decidedly the main character.

I again must emphasize there is not a circumstance where it is rational for trans people or their allies to attempt to engineer the victory of Paxton, who vocally hates trans people, over Talarico, who has a very consistent record of supporting trans rights

Literally no one has ever changed their mind from a sufficient volume of strangers yelling at them on the internet, and what I said about morally motivated networked harassment applies to *everyone* regardless of which "side" they are on.

@swizsway.bsky.social hey! Congrats on moving to DC. Where you'll want to live depends on a few things. 1) Where do you work 2) What kind of stuff do you want to do not at work 3) Budget. 4) Preferred transit mode.

So I've never had @steakumm.bsky.social before because I don't eat beef and they've only sold beef products, but I saw they now sell chicken. I've wanted to try because of their social media presence and honestly it wasn't bad. I expecting it to be dry & freezer burned but it was surprisingly moist

Unfortunate pro tip, when someone dies, delete their contact info from your phone. Yes it's sad, but more sad is getting notifications that they've joined a new app from your contacts because the carriers have reallocated their number.

Major props to the Maryland Renn fest folks who have made the ticketing process so much better this year. Got my tickets in under an hour and there was no fuzziness with the site not loading successfully like in the past couple years.

As a massive MTG and star trek fan it is unsurprising but dismaying to see all the people bashing the new set - I am not a final fantasy fan I bought exactly zero of the cards and the entire thing was a miss/skip for me. But I stfu and let people enjoy things and I'm sad that isn't reciprocated here

It is both amusing and sad to watch somebody crash out online after getting gentle feedback.

I fear adding 'knows how to use the Microsoft office suite' is no longer just filler on a resume. These new hires genuinely don't know how to use office for even basic things.

After going down the modelland rabbit hole I'm of the opinion that this kind of art is going to become popular in the age of AI because it's so esoteric and traditionally "bad" there's no way AI could come up with it so we'll praise it for authenticity.

Hey flops, does anyone have any recommendations for Roblox games they like? Pros if they're similar to city builders, have real time combat, managing resources, and a social element. But really any games that are engaging and fun

Hey hmj fam I need some advice - my sister and I play Evony: The Kings return and the other people are terrible. Are there any fun mobile games that the gays play that may have a better player base? My sister likes the pvp aspect, I like the resource management aspect more.

Ok I have to weigh in on the #FreeDC forum on Saturday after watching the video. It appears McDuffie criticized JLG for voting to confirm all 3 PSC commissioners which is true. However, he also voted for them and was the chair of the oversight committee. He then walked off stage before it was over

In retrospect I shouldn't be surprised that people fall for AI because for years they've fallen for non AI fundraising pleas. Oh well the DCCC says it's a 4x match so I really need to give now! No papa, they're just saying that and the 4x match amount was already committed anyway.

Genuinely, I hope Jasmine Crockett runs for Dallas mayor. Current mayor is a turncoat Republican who got elected as a dem then switched parties. She would absolutely trounce him.
