myopic little twit, ret.
yeah, its gonna be a bit before we get bike lanes back but still better than the bus

yeah, it's a weird thought, but you've gotta play out the hand you're dealt

it's a tremendous opportunity and I hope we can rise to the challenge

we don't get the luxury of maintaining the ones that we've known. they're either gone, corrupted, or insufficient. we're going to need a do a hard reset and start fresh

one of the things I've been thinking a lot about lately as both an elder millennial and washingtonian is that the *absolute best case scenario* is us spending the latter half of our working lives building anew replacement institutions and organizations for the ones currently being dismantled

this sucks. I’m so sorry

1. Build huge subscriber base by telling them their $ supports democracy.
2. Don’t establish other revenue sources.
3. Rug-pull subscribers by pushing opinion side to the right.
4. Subscribers leave, revenue falls.
5. Enact crippling newsroom cuts.

the personal liberty to be fired in a free market by a billionaire owner who could easily continue paying for everybody and then some with the money in his couch cushions

yup. If you don’t mind taking the lane (which is a big if), biking is just as fast as usual

Hey #BikeDC, as of 9pm there's a water main break or something on the MBT behind City State, basically converting the trail to a stream. Not passable. I called @dcwater.bsky.social to report it, but I had to tell them the trail is DDOT, not DPR. Who else do I loop in to get this elevated?

treated myself to a crosstown rush hour snowy bike commute from Penn Quarter to Georgetown via Washington Circle because my life just isn’t stressful enough

biked to work today, mostly using 9th Street. From RIA to Penn, it was mostly good absent a couple of intersections where the plowed snow had piled up. With a little more melt and maybe one more quick round of shoveling at those spots, we should be fully back in business

that was 2 weeks ago for me. It finally clicked!

last tweet ever about flip turns, I promise. unable to just take the win, today I started practicing them with the pull buoy. it's exhausting to be this way, but it is what it is. anyway, thanks for following along this very pointless journey

want to put some of that end-of-day work stress in the rear view? might I suggest a metal garden shovel and the nearest 50 square feet of sidewalk ice?

the Kennedy Center is much more visible to Washingtonians and commuters and tourists than the East Wing was and I think that’s going to shape a lot of the very visceral hate to any potential external reno

Totally right. everyone in that movie looked perfect

4. Chauffeurbanism (uber-based mass transit attempts) really shows its weakness when snow makes it impossible to pull over and idle. y’all fucked

3. I did take CaBi home from Georgetown because I enjoy shitshows

2. If you are the father of a 6 year old son, I do not recommend hearing his voice on the phone immediately post-film unless you are prepared to become an incoherent blubbering mess. boy was I not ready for that
