Seeing the local Annie Jr production put on by Momentum Collective at the Lee rec center and they're delaying the start by ten minutes since Duke St and rt 1 are the worst they've been in months... 🙃 I assume bc feds back at work and multiple accidents on the Beltway.

I'm pretty sure it was actually on the *east* side of Quaker which makes this worse.

the simpsons should take the elon musk episode off of disney plus and replace it with the michael jackson episode

Dyes are the spice of life, really

All of you have such bright drinks there

Word is Mark Warner and Tim Kaine may be on Team Cave, which is completely unsurprising but still fucking stupid. Give them a call now.

Oh and sorry for the Warner staffer who has to listen to my sweary voicemail. I'm sure you've heard worse but you do work for a dumbass.

Trying to fly from Chi to NYC.
My first flight on AA at 6 was canceled. Along with every other AA flight.
Rebooked onto UA flight at 5:30. Delayed till 11.
I manage to grab the last seat on a 2:30 UA flight that had been delayed until 6:30.
Just got delayed another hour.
Sit down to have a drink…

FSA's are ways to allow rich people to reduce their taxes *and* scam other people. HSA's are only like an over complicated nanny state thing.

But were they smiling while they did so?

Yeah, that matches my memory and from searching some. Love to read all this from you.

My memory, and some Google searching mostly confirms, he lived at a fictitious Alexandria address that had a Richmond-area ZIP code.

No idea their interests but FTL could work if they have any sci-fi interest.

I think like another reply said Unpacking is good. Also maybe turn-based games? Something like Desktop Dungeons. On mobile Shattered Pixel Dungeons. Or many other ones.

I definitely need a wee telescope.

Picture of the moon at 99.6% full

It's weird to me that to get any sort of acceptable picture of the Moon you have to go like full manual on a pixel phone. It used to work pretty well? Sigh everything. (Happy 99.6% Beaver Moon.)

Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

Breaking news: The Trump administration is sending messages to federal staff suggesting only those who are working during the government shutdown will be paid when it ends, despite a 2019 law that guarantees pay to furloughed employees, too.

Store with a "Closed. Thank you." sign and a For Sale sign.

Huh, I had missed that Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory on Duke St closed and the building is for sale. I remember visiting their original(?) Georgetown location back in the 00s before thy opened the Duke St one and then closed the Gtown one? It stayed decent but not amazing. A bit sad.

Nighttime shot of a road looking down. There are shadows of a crowned creature and a horned creature.

Happy Halloween.

Yes!

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

"George Washington Impacted Here"

If it's on bsky it must be true.

I may be wrong but that's my memory from the last council elections talking to people.
