Living next to KDCA. Nice neighbors though sometimes loud.
I don't own a car. I do own a bike. Does that make me an avid bicyclist? Beats me.
Cat in picture isn't mine. He was just inspecting my bike.

Does Halligan know that, even if she has proof of her all-around incompetence, the protection can't claim ineffective counsel and get a new trial?
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

So my dad messaged me and said he went to get his COVID shot and apparently Medicare isn’t covering them anymore. I hadn’t heard this before, and if that’s broadly true, a bunch of elderly people are gonna opt out of shots on account of cost and subsequently, you know, die.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Scrutiny, it's like Death. An impersonal force of nature. Or, a primal being. Or, both.
1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today
(I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.)
What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing."
Really bad.

The Trump administration is building a national citizenship data system
The Department of Homeland Security, with help from DOGE, has rolled out a tool that purports to be able to check the citizenship status of almost all Americans.

Putting this (last post of a series of replies) directly into my feed.
Just walked along there and saw: car parked by a no stopping, standing, parking sign; bikes needing sidewalk; bus blocking bikes; three cars parked in north travel lane. As pictured.
I could rant more, but I shan't.

I hope Musk remembers what happened to that other favorite, George Villiers, the duke of Buckingham.
Reading through this article on Musk/China War plan ends up being a list of the almost unimaginable level of corruption spinning around Musk combined with the fact that he's been giving carte blanche to decide on which weapons systems live or die. Insanity. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...
Musk Set to Get Access to Top-Secret U.S. Plan for Potential War With China (Gift Article)
Giving Elon Musk access to some of the nation’s most closely guarded military secrets is a major expansion of his role as an adviser to President Trump and highlights his conflicts of interest.

A smart examination of the "suit" thing.
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
