10/10 take. no notes

I snorted, then zoomed in and realized it’s alphabetized in columns from the bottom up. Interesting flex.

Yesss!

A photo of accumulating precipitation that one might argue is decidedly snow and not rain. I would certainly argue that.

My weather app insists it’s raining in Greenbelt, and I strongly disagree… @capitalweather.bsky.social

Jordan!

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

Screenshot of the “Endorsements” page for a local political candidate. Hard to tell if he’s serious, inept, or seriously inept…this page hasn’t been populated and is still in sample mode, with the placeholder text of “Jasper is a true leader. —Example Endorsement“

It’s too early for me to be laughing this much…

Wow, a mayor can just do that? IMAGINE

Oof.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the meritocracy they want you to believe Black people are violating

A C student coke fiend with no medical expertise runs our nation’s healthcare system.

Wild to me that we all - and Big Bear - have now circled the sun enough times to be able to "remember that time when..." this dumb deja vu.

ICE and assorted fed agents *continue* to traumatize and kidnap our neighbors. National Guard troops *still* occupy DC at the cost of $1M+/day. Repubs voted to control our tax law, further disenfranchising and harming DC residents. Where is the outrage and solidarity across the country?! #FreeDC

Had an old-fashioned Adams Morgan afternoon with @bogrosemary.bsky.social today. Lunch at Keren, an art exhibit at DCAC (www.dcartscenter.org/thingumabob), and book browsing and purchases at Lost City Books. The Devil’s Playground delivers, as always.

🎉 It’s officially time for #TranspoBINGO 2026! Let's play our way through the city! 🎉
We’re playing from Feb 5–12, rewarding non-car travel—buses, Metro, biking, walking, and rolling. Take different kinds of trips, explore our city (and region!), and support public and active transportation.

DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces

Truly awful—I’m so sorry.

Such a tough decision…the first one! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!! 🐦🐹

Instead of capitulating for…what?, DC government could simply just continue calling it the Kennedy Center.

The amount of money the US government spent on troops in DC in 2025 ($223m) would have been enough to give the city's ~5,100 homeless residents each $43,000. Instead, federal troops destroyed their meager encampments.

Received a poll via text today about Waymo regulation in DC…

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers.

A reminder that wheatpasting is super duper legal here in DC.

Screenshot of a NYT “breaking news” alert that states: “The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.”

Finally, a headline that captures the pathological ethos of this administration in a nutshell.

A perennial favorite is nearly getting hit by driver who simultaneously speeds towards me and gives me the combined WTF look and arm motion at a crosswalk *I planned and installed*.

I'm super lucky that my office is within a literal stone's throw to the Greenbelt branch library, and that's where I get about 99.7% of the books I check out for myself and the family. I still need to get cards in other neighborhing jurisdictions.

Move them back and forth across the country 🤦🏻‍♀️
