Walkable cities, academia, and hot parenting takes with statistics, mostly in NW DC/Ward 2+3. Occasionally in real urban centers like Bethesda or Arlington.

It is funny for sure. The reason for the difference is that the closer analogy here is between Columbia's board and ABC's executives, who responded similarly. Kimmel is more like Columbia faculty who have resisted their bosses' capitulation. The recurring pattern is: management cowers, labor fights.

NEW: We won our first court judgment against a dangerous out-of-state driver under the STEER Act.

The Court ordered Ayanna Khalya Wilson to pay $77,100 for over 200 dangerous driving violations.

We also filed 12 new lawsuits against Maryland and Virginia drivers with nearly 2,000 traffic offenses.

At an R1, dropoff post covid. Strong recovery since. School is not SAT/ACT optional though. so strong selection on basic math/reading abilities.

Just to be clear, the Left doing "cancel culture" means they exercise Free Speech by stop inviting you to happy hour bc you won't stop saying the n-word; the Right doing "cancel culture" means they illegally use the Government to punish you. Left is pro-1A, Right is anti-1A, always has been.

DC council okays record-shattering $6.6B+ stadium subsidy for Commanders in exchange for local hiring promise The D.C. city council voted on Mayor Muriel Bowser'sΒ Washington Commanders stadium plan on Friday, and it went as expected, approving the revised agreement 9-3. Needing five votes to block a two-third...

β€œCommanders owner Josh Harris is now set to get $1.058 billion in city cash plus at least $5.6 billion in free rent and tax breaks, which will be the biggest public sports subsidy in U.S. history by a mile.”

The only way for a retail business to secure their future in DC is by owning their building/land.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Always look at major injuries, not just deaths. (left-YTD2025) (right-YTD2024). Pedestrian and cyclist injuries are up in DC. Drivers/passengers are down.

Zohran Mamdani Has Some Good Ideas for NYC Transit. His Biggest Promise Isn’t One of Them. Riders don't want buses to be free. They want something else.

In @slate.com , I explained why Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for fare-free buses is a bad idea for NYC.

The cost would be enormous, the benefits meh, and the downsides real.

If Mamdani can find $1 billion/year to improve transportation, there are many better ways to spend it.

I don’t think there is a single kid over 3 at my daycare who still rides in a backwards car seat. And in the prime demographic for helicopter parenting.

I didn't see this coming, DC car deaths are significantly down YTD. Last year, we were at 25 deaths and 167 major injuries. This year, 9 deaths and 134 major injuries.

Glass half empty part, major injuries are up for pedestrians and cyclists.
