For now, perhaps. But the technology will improve to the point that the those issues will go away. In the same period time I’m fairly confident we won’t improve the behavior of human drivers markedly for multiple reasons.

It’s a both/and for me. I love me an automated camera but they come with a lot of baggage, too, and aren’t going to solve all of our problems. Having a handful of cars on the road that have to obey the laws can have beneficial effects on everyone else.

Northern lights-esque clouds in DC.

Not a great photo (for the same reason northern lights photos are lying to you), but the clouds in DC are doing a halfway decent northern lights impression right now.

Not arguing your point, even though I’m replying to it, but I’ve been thinking about the ways AVs could make roads safer in positive spillover ways. More cars on the road forces other drivers to break fewer rules. A driver can’t run a red light if the Waymo in front of them doesn’t run it.

There a lot of worse kids songs, just saying.

First I’ve seen the outside set up, and I was there on Thursday. Looks great!

Wondering how many weeks of missed DPW recycling collection need to pile up in my kitchen before we start looking into the economics of opening a recycling facility.

Is it possible there are actually infinity democratic text message campaigns trying to extract money from me?

Also if I ever figure out who I gave money to that sold my phone number, so help me…

@homedepotofficial.bsky.social this driver parked across a crosswalk to unload at 6th and East Capitol in DC. This is not safe for everyone else. @ddotdc.bsky.social

SARAH HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!

Donated! Details in DM. Thank you!

9:52pm. The contestants have entered the maze of the Triwizard Cup.

Stoplights are out at 11th and Pennsylvania Ave., Southeast. @ddotdc.bsky.social @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social

Surface temps after the overnight radiative cooling may be below freezing even if ambient temp isn’t.

Well, I grew up there, so easy guess :)

Fairbanks, AK is a bit worse.

Thank you!!

Thanks. I don’t recall seeing that but I’ll look again.

Blocked sidewalk at 412 3rd St NE

@ddotdc.bsky.social I can’t find a safe passage category on the 311 app but can you look into this site at 412 3rd St NE? Surely this site could provide an option for pedestrians. @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social

Civic logo

I realize I’m late to this party, but if you haven’t tried Civic on 8th St SE you really should. Such a lovely welcoming vibe created by the space and people.

Honest question, if bowling were done on an ice lane would it be meaningfully different?

Much better choreography from Belgium’s Pinzarrone. And Send in the Clowns with subtle clown outfit was a solid move.

Now the German pairs team takes on Meatloaf and really drops the ball. So many tempo changes to work with and they’re doing nothing with them. So much overwrought emotion yet so many missed opportunities.

In contrast, Kevin Aymoz takes on Bolero, another great piece of music, and shows how it’s done. Great choreography (though the ending in front of the judges was a bit much).

I’m just gonna say, the choreography for Sato Shun’s long program was a crime. You don’t skate to Firebird lightly, it’s a great piece of music that demands great choreography.

What struck me is that there’s really a lot of commonality across their responses, but the differences spoke volumes.

Snow plowed from the road blocks an already-cleared sidewalk

Snow plowed into the bike lane instead of being plowed onto the median

Now that the snow is melting, I hope that the city can learn lessons for future snowfalls. For example: snowplowing doesn’t have to be a zero sum game. Here, snow plowed off the street blocks a sidewalk. And snow on Penn Ave SE could have been plowed onto the median instead of the bike lane.

The new WaPo is wrong, wrong, wrong in so many ways. Let's count:
