Found a #NYTSpellingBee WannaBee today: CHORIC. Posting with a @nytimes.com example.

Bike Lane Projects The Bike Lane Program plans to build an additional 50 miles of bicycle lanes across the District over the next 5 years.

A graphic in the style of a Mamdani campaign sign that says "bike lanes for Connecticut Ave"

bezos somehow made an editorial page worse than the one at the wall street journal

@nytimes.com should add ALLEMANDE to the #NYTSpellingBee 🐝 word list.

25. Most of all, they hated that Joe Biden threatened to stem the tide of consolidation. Capital will concentrate if left alone. Biden didn’t leave it alone. He knew that the unchecked concentration of money and power spells doom for democracy.

He was right. We know it. Look what’s happening now.

Apostate is more apt and current than epicurean.

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

The Jolly Roger flag

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

Nee Nee Taylor:

We need DC statehood now!

Our entire national democracy will always be at risk until we actually protect the capital of this country.

Everyone across this country needs a free DC. - Kaya Chatterjee

I'm with WMATA on this one. "Station cut" could be interpreted as uninterrupted rides with no stop at Station X.

State law imposes responsibility for state-road sidewalk maintenance on the local jurisdiction. There have been attempts to change that. Unsuccessful so far.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ...

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It. A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

Three newly published books argue that cars are destroying society as well as the planet.

Is the world finally ready to rein in the automobile?

My essay, in @bloomberg.com (gift link below)

Trump can't deliver the lower costs he promised. All he has is cruelty and revenge.

Cuomo is unable to confront him because they share the same billionaire donors. Just look at his statement last night.

I will stand up for this city and with our Attorney General.
