The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

god, seriously. my favorite hate read these days is his bsky feed and the “how do you do fellow kids” of it all. also he’s still trying to force state employees to turn information over to ice against the two laws that he signed, so, you know, phil weiser for governor and dave seligman for AG
it’s been pretty funny to see Polis’ addiction to posting completely end any discussion of him as a potential 2028 candidate

This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

one could have used a delayed start to get another fifteen winks or so… instead we try to take a serene video to send to parents in more tropical climes and the cat darts out on the patio and the serenity is ruined by cussing and there isn’t enough coffee
I’m honestly very surprised most major metro school districts aren’t even delayed this morning

I have nothing against you or your regional culture but there is an unbreakable spiritual bond between anyone who has ever had to scrape ice off a windshield while hungover
the annual snowfall required for me to take your city seriously is like 11” minimum. nobody is using 300 days of sun to serve the lord

asked my father to teach me a couple of weeks before i started a ph.d. program at UNC where i was expected to teach. no regrets, except that the tin can target shooting that came after made the dogs go hide under the truck
and finally, if you want me to teach you how to clear a gun so you can make one safe (if, god forbid, you're in that situation, be it a shooting, a suicidal relative, etc) i am more than happy to teach you how to do so. it's a skill i think everyone should know.

Old buildings imitated rather than reflected other buildings: mass-produced moldings of ancient pillars, brick-hard materials, formidable facades. The reinforced seriality of capital. Now money reflects other reflections of money like a universe that appears as endless because it's made of mirrors.

![After the team "auditioned" a few players, they unanimously agreed that Gendron nailed it. Several other players and staff show up throughout the video, down to Chrin playing Gendo Ikari, as well as the people who clean off the ice with shovels during TV timeouts.
