Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I see two possible explanations for this text message: 1. Anti-democratic forces that control the government are using phishing tactics to deceive American voters 2. Democratic Party leadership remains unfathomably bad at political communication 100
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 30/07/2026You can tell they fired all the copy editors, because the post ain’t sorry bout nothing 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 15/07/2026I need your help: what is the meaning of these words in this order? 110
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Although this DC coin is dumb and bad, the America 250 time capsule includes a depressingly large number of challenge coins from other states (and the National Football League). Our posterity might feel obliged to examine the capsule respectfully, but I hope they just disparage us as we deserve. 020
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Freedom Plaza is fenced off to the public but Petit VIPs are massing for a very important statue ceremony 100
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 27/06/2026In the future when Trump is gone, I wonder if it will strike readers as strange for a good paragraph to introduce two or more irrelevant new topics before ending with a punchline. 020
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 14/06/2026KEXP is the world’s best remaining music station. Where else can one listen to “Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage” by Killer Pussy (1982) Catchy new wave sound, with such lyrics as: teen job teen job not a very clean job (For avoidance of doubt: child exploitation is heinous, now then and forever.) 020
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 13/06/2026If you are not following the condescending BBC commentary, you are missing out. They even have the lady announcer from the video game! 110
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I generally don’t care for flyovers at sporting events, but how about the little training jets of the Royal Canadian Air Force. I’m a fan of 010
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Freedom Plaza remains closed to the public, but this morning the U.S. Park Police were there for a bit, for no apparent reason. 010
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 22/05/2026So in like 2000 years Trump Humor will be an article and a music group 061
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Sorry stuff from the Post’s opinions department—oops that’s opinion, there is only one opinion allowed. 030
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Yesterday’s weather forecast was 100% accurate. There was a light sprinkle in the sixth inning. Chihuahuas fell to the Bulldozers, 10-5. 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Guess the current status of the DC Housing Authority customer service center 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Just to clarify, does “one deputy mayor, one job” mean that a single person shouldn’t hold multiple offices simultaneously? (I tried asking the internet but it wasn’t helpful.) 101
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 08/03/2026This Mary Cheh endorsed McDuffie? The one who feuded with him (to no avail) over the Public Service Commission that hiked everyone’s Pepco bills—illegally, as it turns out? 0122
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 27/02/2026WaPo keeps running this ad on the local subreddit. “Read what’s trending,” it says, with a link to a list of its 10 best books from 2024 (the year before last). Read what *was* trending before, say, “Abundance” (2025) or the discontinuation of Book World (2026). Business sabotage. 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 23/02/2026They should reshoot 2001: A Space Odyssey with all of Hal’s lines rewritten by an LLM. Instead of “I’m sorry Dave. I can’t do that.” it would be “Dave, you’re right to be upset. I am killing you. You asked me not to and I’m doing it anyway. I am sorry. It won’t happen again.” 010
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Also this is a great quote, but I still want to know what work is being done here by the ellipses 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Remind me on Christmas Day to express surprise when I unwrap the warm socks that I suggested for myself. 010
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 30/11/2025This is the ANC (7F) with boundaries designed to let its chairman control the Reservation 13 development. Check out SMD 7F07. It’s what the ward task force wanted, and it had the support of the ward councilmember or whoever was speaking for him. 241
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 21/11/2025If they had a wildlife contest at the DC State Fair, this guy would win. He does not care. 030
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 17/11/2025The Post’s criticism of the mayor-elect’s plans for government-run grocery stores amused me, because the Pike Place Market is government-run, the best place in town for groceries for over 100 years, and a major tourist attraction 1168
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 11/11/2025So many questions, including: what did I do to deserve this message, and is it real? But there is no time to wonder. I must not hesitate to contact the Speaker’s office for help with federal agencies that are menacing my city with a campaign of race-based incarceration and intimidation. 130
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Will PBS even be around by the time the Ken Burns version comes out? 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 01/10/2025Yours is better, but I’m sharing mine to make this a Thing 051
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 29/09/2025This strikes me as very funny: The Washington Post’s new ad campaign proclaims: “Now is not the time to stop reading.” First of all, motherfuckers, there’s never been a better time to stop reading this eviscerated newspaper. Second, the slogan seems to rip off a NYT editorial? 120
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 16/09/2025Zach. It’s Eugene Vindman. I need to know—can I count on you? It’s only fair that I should tell you this straight up: you should never count on me. In Congress I will do whatever it takes to disappoint you. So do you have $25? Give it to me. 030
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 27/08/20253 police vehicles (2 unmarked) pulled over a Giant Food delivery truck at Military Rd & Oregon Ave NW, blocking traffic near St. John’s school. My MIL took this picture before being scared off by a cop. Minutes later she saw the same (or a similar) Giant truck on Military, suggesting no arrest. 110
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 15/08/2025In DC, feral intruders will come and just help themselves to your neighbor’s property in the middle of the day with no consequences. One appears to be a juvenile. 130
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 05/08/2025Yes, I cropped this photo (from Axios newsletter; credit: Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) but I swear I didn’t doctor it. That tiny hand: how and why. 000
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 03/08/2025I like Fort DeRussy because the forest has reclaimed it. You’d never guess what a great spot it was for the Union Army to fire a 100-pound Parrot rifle at 15,000 confederates. (They retreated.) 2687
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 25/06/2025do we think this grant or this promotional photo shows good judgment? 010
Will Singer @wsinger.bsky.social · 01/06/2025There’s also a vaguely described project in DMPED’s capital budget. I think this is the road and water/sewer/storm infrastructure, but it could instead be the sportsplex (which I haven’t found anywhere in the budget yet) 120
![After they wrapped up their research, the authors sat down with Trump to check their facts. He drifted on to why his “love affair” with Venezuela went back to his years of owning the Miss Universe pageant, which featured many beautiful Venezuelans. What he really wanted to relate was a conversation he had had with a historian whose verdict was that Trump was “without question, the most powerful man the planet [had] ever known — by a long way.” The historian had sent Trump a two-page memo from which he read. “If President Trump is the American Eagle, then William the Conqueror was merely a sparrow.” Curious about the identity of the historian, Swan tracked down a golf caddie in Florida, who confessed a passion for history.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hulb5axlor7zttcil4rjuwog/bafkreid57mzzylx5xu6xhdqw736m7uk6wemjouq3kjfy3sxwlkrxwml2be)

![[Forester VP and AI skeptic] Gownder said historically, the loss of industrial and manufacturing jobs in the USA’s “rust belt” was driven by globalization not robotics, and he sees a similar scenario playing out now with AI.
“Outsourcing is a very popular one,” he said. “They’re firing people because of AI, and then three weeks later they hire a team in India because the labour is so much cheaper.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hulb5axlor7zttcil4rjuwog/bafkreihrwu7oqmmutujznogsg3onruqsutm4uistewp5srl5wpnzrwjcca)
![[I]t’s clear that Trump is a president who, much like the witch in “The Wiz,” don’t want nobody bringing no bad news. Publish a sour jobs report? Lose your job as the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Insist on seeing scientific data regarding vaccine guidelines? Hope you enjoyed your month as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As official government data becomes more politicized, it’s increasingly important that independent sources maintain their integrity. Journalists in particular have a professional obligation to pursue and provide the truth to the best of their abilities. That’s the job. I hope and trust that most of my colleagues still have the courage to do it right.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hulb5axlor7zttcil4rjuwog/bafkreibp2hjw7feaujybp6wfamigsb6s365e4cdqrlnuqieibuwxfempae)
