A six pack of local DC beer costs like $18 nowadays and they're saying a 60 cent can pollution tax would cause local brewers to "not exist"?? 🤔

Right Proper brewery co-founder Thor Cheston knows that advocating against D.C.'s proposed bottle bill might put him on the wrong side of environmentally conscious customers: "We have to take that risk to be judged in the court of public opinion because if we do not fight this, we do not exist.”

D.C. breweries worry about effects of a bottle-deposit bill

Lawmakers are considering the measure to help clean up the Anacostia River.

Week 2 of the government shutdown will see #MBTpubroll starting at DC9 at 5:30pm today for their $4 HH for federal employees ($5 for the rest of us), then we'll bike down the 9th St bike lanes to warm up at Rocket Bar on this first cold day of the Fall and maybe play a little shuffle board 🚲🍻

Any idea what the deal is between "old piedmont" and "new piedmont"? I don't get that distinction.

Progressives hate her and normies don't mind her historically, so it depends on how much normies blame her for working with trump. If she does get blamed, she's done. If she squirms out of blame, then she's probably the favorite to win but not guaranteed (she won last election by 9%).

People do not want to admit how dangerous driving is because it undermines their entire reality. So they pretend speed limits are about money.

Brigid Howe @bnhowe.bsky.social · 2d

And when we try to make changes, neighbors organize with rhetoric like this. Kemp Mill Civic Association is riling up fear of having to pay tickets (avoidable by not speeding) while people are killed on these roads. It’s disgusting.

But Mississippi Delta is already on there, I don't get why Piedmont gets broken up into old and new, that doesn't make sense to me. My best guess is there's some high tech/finance pockets in "new" piedmont (research triangle to huntsville), but "old" piedmont has Charlottesville/Blacksburg so...

Goseg Train Thread @wvistheduck.bsky.social · 2d

What's the deal with "old piedmont" and "new piedmont"? Never heard of these terms before, not sure about this distinction.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Yeah for sure, Jawando turned heel immediately after Question A passed and he saw Elrich's nimby voting bloc was up for grabs. Glass says all the right things but always backs out of actually doing anything substantive ime, all talk no action.
