I like reactionary centrism to describe the more mercenary views that move around as the center moves as opposed to a more classically moderate view point that has some defined and grounded beliefs

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

My kitchen table is in DC. Many of my neighbors have empty chairs around their kitchen tables now

I agree. It's doing harm to everyone to call criticism of Israel antisemitic. This poster is doing the same by acting like most disingenuous accusations of antisemitism are coming from Jews. I don't expect to convince bigots, but reasonable people should remember many Jews are leading the fight

By using “a Jew” here, you’re not doing yourself any favors on the antisemitism rap. By the numbers, there are way more Christian defenders of Israel’s heinous actions. You’re equating all Jewish people with Israel, when a significant portion of diaspora Jews are against Israel’s actions

I’ve been joking all week about gamifying my dog walks by looking out for invasive species — red spotted bugs and black unmarked suvs

I hope it’s a rising tide lifts all boats situation for Trini Vybez since that location is rough

The young trampling over fallen elders in Rock Creek Park last weekend

One factor that Rhaina Cohen gets into in The Other Significant Others is that as the visibility of gay people increased, so did inward-facing homophobia with straight men becoming more self-conscious about being too close to each other.

A few times I'll spin around this track

It feels pretty major that X9, 79, S9 equivalents are going to be treated as express busses. Are they really going to charge nearly $5 a trip? That’s prohibitive and will drive wait times up on main corridors if you can’t afford it

Mortals in a clap hell

Least: Utz girl always brings killer snacks to the mutual aid meeting while back at her group house, Morton salt girl is researching how to make an IED for antifa and Coppertone kid is dreaming of a lesbian separatist community far from the male gaze

New 311 number in DC: (202) 224-6542. Call with any pothole, traffic light outage, trash issue, or rat's nest you find, and ask for Chuck. You steal our money to do boring local government stuff and you can hear about every boring issue

*forks in fists, impatiently pounding on table* Ides of March Ides of March Ides of March Ides of March

Definitely key lime pie. And tarragon chicken salad spread is great. And if you’re in the south, mayfield’s dairy and ice cream

It works. They’re 80% ancient vampire and 20% Stu, the weird neighbor down the block whose yard all the kids know to avoid

Brody’s mother’s back? Intact

New contender for scariest movie of the year

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

They also don’t understand the vast majority of users are readers, not posters. It stopped being fun and interesting to read when it became infested with blue check bots and chucklefucks

Green leaves unfurl amid pops of red and gold foliage as a rocky stream flows throw a fall forest in DC’s Rock Creek Park

Get you a city that can do both (this is a Rock Creek Park appreciation post)

Why would you when Captain Cookie is right there?

Happy birthday!

Screenshot says: From Google: "Nestled in the heart of Washington, D.C., Political Pattie's is a lively politically themed bar where debate flows as freely as the drinks. The walls are adorned with cheeky caricatures of past presidents and notable politicos, and every table comes with its own "gavel" to call order when conversations get heated. Whether you're a senator or just passionate about the latest headlines, Political Pattie's serves up craft cocktails like "Filibuster Fizz" and "Capitol Mule." With nightly trivia that puts your civic knowledge to the test, it's the place where politics and patties with a backdrop of curated musical selections come together in perfect, delicious harmony."

This is the Friday the 13th horror all my group chats are focused on this week

Why Have Garfield Phones Been Washing Ashore in France for 30 Years? The mystery has been solved, but environmental advocates aren't celebrating

Jar-Jar Binks Lollipop (1999-1999): A promotional item for "Star Wars: Episode I", this candy featured the plastic likeness of character Jar-Jar Binks, whose mouth opened to reveal a retractable strawberry-flavored sucker, shaped and textured like his tongue. Delightful.

The amount of time it took me to see that was the watch from a different angle and not a bong in the first pic. Circus fun indeed
