Hmm, this could be a problem: My kids' @dcpublicschools.bsky.social is closing off part of its sidewalk because chunks of snowcrete are falling off of the roof. This could be a serious concern for homes and buildings with slanted roofs.

See what most people who don’t have boobs misunderstand about them is that they are actually functional and serve a very important purpose.

Wife tried taking our garbage to the Fort Totten transfer station. The city hasn’t picked up trash on our street in almost two weeks. A person there said he was told to stand there and tell people they’re closed. No reason why.
The city won’t pick up our trash. And now we can’t even drop it off?

Listen parking in D.C. right now is like the Hunger Games. If you find a spot it’s yours. And if I spent days clearing a spot of snow and ice for my car in front of my house that spot is mine. These are the rules for operating in a civil society. I will not be taking questions.

I remember the last time the Seahawks and Patriots played in the Super Bowl. That's the game where Pete Carroll lost his damn mind and decided to PASS from the 2-yeard line on the last play of the game, when Marshawn Lynch was RIGHT THERE. The most baffling choice I've ever seen in football.

UPDATE: @wamu.org is also running an underwriting spot from "The Trump Kennedy Center." WAMU has had a long relationship of financial support with the center that predates the name change by many, many years. Again, WAMU does not have control over names of orgs and businesses.
WAMU is currently running an underwriting spot from the National Symphony Orchestra that says “The Trump Kennedy Center.” WAMU does not write these spots. They come to us from the organization that pays to air those spots. We have no authority over how NSO refers to its performance space.

My favorite Pink Floyd song.
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be

"All the U.S. is asking for is a place called Greenland."
No. All the U.S. is asking for is:
- Affordable groceries, healthcare, childcare, housing
- Communities that are not terrorized by masked men
- A continued relationship with our allies, who came to our rescue after 9/11
- Maybe a pet sloth

Sightings of Ted Cruz at airports should be used as an index for impending weather doom across Texas and the South.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.
