So if you have not moved your car since the storm (and a lot of people clearly have not), do you even actually *need* a car? Hopefully this has been a good learning experience for some folks

For the first time since January 23, DPW has picked up the trash in my alley. The private haulers who service the buildings on the alley were back on the case by Jan. 28. 👀

Y’all, my friend was 44k+ in the queue for Noah Kahan artist presale with two more pre-sales and general to go. The concert capacity at Nats Park is 41,373. Why do they even let than many people sign up for the presale? It’s rude.

It’s been the longest of weeks in the longest of winters but it’s finally Friday. Let your hair down. Get tipsy.

WE HAVE A BABY ELEPHANT 😍😍😍😍 “Nhi Linh gave birth to a healthy, female calf on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026! Both mother and baby are resting in the elephant barn. The Elephant Cam will remain offline until the calf’s public debut, which is dependent on how Nhi Linh and baby are doing.”

And, Jaime Alanis, Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, Jose Castro-Rivera, Isaias Sanches Barboza, and Keith Porter. Plus at least 20 people have died in ICE custody. Don’t look away.

Crosswalks are slightly better this evening although some of them have hit the “slurry” stage where they are deep icy puddles.

Following a brisk 3 miles through The Devil’s Playground and Columbia Heights, I will say this. Citizens have really stepped up. The sidewalks while not perfect are incredibly manageable. The crosswalks are a fucking nightmare unless some hero dug then out. Good luck heading to school today!

After a brisk 2.8 mile walk through MtP and The Devil’s Playground I will say the sidewalks are in better shape than the side streets and the intersections are awful. The people who shoveled crosswalks are heroes
