"On average, something that cost $25,000 in 1986 would take about $75,000 to purchase today. But health care costs have risen even faster…$25,000 in 1986 medical expenses equals about $145,000 today. Yet DC’s [driver insurance] minimums have stood still for nearly 40 years."
Sam Trumbull: DC’s outdated insurance laws are failing victims — and Councilmember McDuffie’s committee could fix it
I was born in 1986. Marion Barry had just started his third term as mayor. The space shuttle Challenger disaster had shocked the nation. The Washington football team made it to the NFC championship game as a wild card. And, while seatbelts had been mandatory for 18 years, fewer than 60% of people used them regularly.
It was also the year DC’s current car insurance minimums were set.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”

When you leave in a car you’re thinking “what’s the fastest way to get there?”
When I leave on my bike I’m thinking “what’s the safest way to get there?”

It was a beautiful day to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Branch Trail from Fort Totten to Takoma!
The Metropolitan Branch Trail is more than just a bike path -- it connects us to each other, to schools and work and recreation, and to a vibrant alternative to sitting in traffic.

If you don't get why this is a scary opinion, it's because of the implications.
Do you know any MAGA Jews? No you don't! They are apostates. "Jews for Trump" are in the same category as "Jews for Jesus." Their kids are not mamzerim, but they are not part of the Jewish People.

Interesting!
There was once going to be a bike trail along NY Avenue built with this, using an old rail tunnel to get underneath of it, but I'm not sure if that is still the case. www.rtands.com/passenger/am...

25. Most of all, they hated that Joe Biden threatened to stem the tide of consolidation. Capital will concentrate if left alone. Biden didn’t leave it alone. He knew that the unchecked concentration of money and power spells doom for democracy.
He was right. We know it. Look what’s happening now.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”
First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.
With me so far? 1/x
