The key is to hold your phone 2” above the reader. Once I learned that, I stopped getting read errors.

Unfortunately, I had to get a new SmarTrip card in October, so my 2024 is split in two…

The new Osgemeos exhibit at the Hirshhorn is one of the deepest and most enjoyable I’ve ever seen. Get to it!
A painting of an Osgemeos graffiti artist peacefully sleeping on top of some subway railcars with one hand hugging the side of the railcar and the other holding a spray can. A painting of several Osgemeos graffiti artists who have snuck into a NYC subway train tunnel. A sculpture of an Osgemeos character surrounded by a rainbow light beaming down around him from a flying saucer. A painting of a person standing on top of a lighthouse, with birds perched on his arms outstretched like plane wings, from a dizzying perspective looking down on his face and toward the ground.

Are either of these numbers correct? Are there only 1600 intersections in the whole city? And if so, it sure doesn’t feel to me like there are “no right on red” signs at 2/3 of all intersections.
In the meantime, Kershbaum says DDOT is continuing a gradual expansion of right-on-red bans throughout the city that began in 2018 and has nearly reached its goal of placing signs at 1,000 of the District’s 1,600 intersections by the end of this year. All 55 active red-light cameras are at intersections where rights on red are banned and are already giving out tickets. But, Kershbaum said, whether to place signs at the remaining intersections will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

This is where I’m at right now.
I still cannot get over the fact that basic human decency didn’t count for anything. I still cannot get over the fact that the American electorate didn’t simply refuse to punish literal criminality, abject cruelty, and unequivocal immorality but, rather, happily rewarded it. Rewarded it with its eyes wide open and with full knowledge of who and what it was voting for. It’s anathema to everything I was taught to believe. It runs counter to everything I thought I understood about how politics work. It runs counter to everything I thought I understood how people work. At least most of them. But it’s real. It happened. And it has really thrown me for a loop. I feel like I don’t know my own country anymore. I feel like I’m not welcome in vast swaths of it and that a hell of a lot of people are in actual danger in vast swaths of it in a way people haven’t been in danger for some time.
