To have statehood so Congress stops playing in our business (DC)

Ice out

Now just imagine being the public works staffer that has worked 4, 14 hour shifts who had to read that and respond rationally

I'm just trying to imagine the ad breaks 🤣 "this episode of FILLABLE FORM is brought to you by THE DMV"

If you offer it, could it also be continuing education for practitioners?! I would sign up in a heartbeat. I try to apply some behavioral psych aspects to the safe system approach "people make mistakes" in street design and Dr. Tice's research on driver cognition. But we need more!

Same here. We cleared our walkway and driveway and the car and then the sleet and freezing rain came and it was like 2 solid inches of very slippery ice over everything. Then a plow came by during the freezing rain and created a berm 18" high across our driveway that refroze overnight

a cartoon of a dog with the words 99 bottles of thing on the wall above it Alt: a cartoon show Bluey of a dad dog exhausted rocking his baby dog singing the words "99 bottles of thing on the wall"

Some days I feel like Bandit in the sleep episode when he's in the bathroom with Bluey but this Gif works too

Was listening to Paul Simon's Graceland album and when "you can call me Al" came on, my 10 year old looked at the display and said incredulously, "why is this called 'You can call me A.I.'??!" 🤣

RIP this just like the Amazon HQ2 poopmoji building for National landing.

three men are playing a game of jeopardy with turd ferguson and sean Alt: three men on SNL are playing a game of jeopardy with one character acting as Burt Reynolds writing his name as "turd Ferguson" on the podium

A real Turd Ferguson, eh?

I mean it could also be that for outsiders, this area is basically the upsidedown right now and as much as we try to stop it the little joy & vitality we have is being squeezed out by the dipshits who claim to understand & support strong economies. Why would anyone possibly want to move here now?

I think it's just a puppy thing and I'm forgetting. Otherwise she's the best! Jolene! What a great name!

I have a 6 month old golden! I love her so so so much but please tell me it gets easier. She will chew just about everything she can find including bringing a full 3' long 2"wide stick into the house and just leaves wood shavings

The tooth fairy can't fly around with all of those teeth! She/they need a collection site for freight delivery and sorting. (Btw Flats like incisors, if properly cared for, could also fetch a premium for roofing and paving materials)

What about transit for a magical being that loses flight (Santa & elves, tooth fairy, etc.) my oldest asked about the tooth fairy at 5 so I had to world-build around dental commerce(eg molars are most valuable & get more $ b/c of their compression strength & can be used for structural projects)

Dark ’n’ Stormy Cookies

I have made 10 batches of cookies so far this season but my favorite is this one. It's so damn good. Please talk me out of making a 3rd batch, my friends are all out of town and I will eat them all myself.

Nothing would make me feel like I belong in the archives more than that 😂 We're in that sweet spot of seeing the beginning of wide scale computing & now, so we have the privilege/burden of being the glue. And tech changes so fast even the format of archived material needs to be constantly updated

Paging @dcdutchiedude.bsky.social 😁

Please do!! I thoroughly enjoyed working there and would happily talk more about it.

This!! I worked in the archives of my university library through college & loved it. l learned a ton about the town! But to digitize all that was in even that small school's library would have taken years and lots of funding for high quality scanners & photos. No one ever dedicates funds for it.

Yiiiikes

Dammit!!! @wamu.org.web.brid.gy why'd you have to blow up my one good soul food spot in DC?

Would love an SNL sketch on Big Dumb Truck to shift some of the derogatory focus onto dumb things toxic masculinity places value. "Do you need a personality that you can drive around everywhere? Try Big dumb truck. It's the vehicle that tells everyone 'NO, I'M A BIG BOY! Big dumb truck."

TW: driver hits person crossing. So many notable things here- Big dumb truck, windshield barely cleared of snow, permissive left turn, narrow crosswalk w/ perpendicular traffic very close to pedestrians (forward blind spots), access management of all gas stations, lack of building setback (far side)

I also found this disappointing yet we were in the map! It didn't even get into High injury networks they did more of the hex area that geospatial analysts use, not helpful for transportation safety work, that's why we all use HINs.

I am once again begging @citycastdc.bsky.social Michael Schaffer for the love of all things holy stop asking journalists engineering questions. Also the numbers for DC that Weiner mentioned are ALL MODES not just pedestrians. Link for those interested. dc.citycast.fm?utm_source=g...

Christmas tree posted in usdot plaza in Navy Yard with crowds of people around it

Christmas tree and very loud Christmas music playing in USDOT plaza. Separation of church and state where?

Same as Becky, it thinks I'm Gen Z but I'm squarely in elder millennial.
