GET THE PRESIDENT OFF MY FUCKING TV SCREEN COME ON
November 9, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Was enjoying this Lions game, but then they had to go do an extended interview with some local schmuck and now I've had to mute the TV and might need to bleach my screen...

the radio show Dorm Talk will call it the "worst dormitory of the millennium"…

gee, it'd sure be nice if there were anybody running, wouldn't it?

The DC mayoral primary is in 287 days.

When Mayor Gray-era DC legislation is mentioned, it can be…fun…to look it up & see who voted how.

B19-585, the “Immigration Detainer Compliance Amndmt Act of 2011” (lims.dccouncil.us/Legislation/...): just another thing Councilmember Bowser supported that Mayor Bowser apparently wants to roll back.

Apparently Government Efficiency is when you fire 90% of Government Employees, then ship in ten times as many National Guard to do their jobs.
National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments.

Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers.

I hope this ends quickly, but that everybody remembers this in nine months when MMB's re-election campaign tries to beat us over the head with the stadium deal.

including the part where she has literally left town in the middle of all this.
MPD is violating the law. General checkpoints; assisting immigration enforcement. It's all pretty clear. The question is whether we'll see any action to hold them accountable.

Even more than this — DC is great, it's the people the rest of you send to Washington you hate.
DC is amazing, it’s “Washington” that you hate
August 12, 2025 at 1:32 PM
we are apparently once again be entering the 'bread and circuses' phase of the mayor's pre-re-election campaign, except we seem to be out of bread and i think i'd rather have actual circuses.
Just like with the stadium, Bowser's plan to anchor Poplar Point with the giant Therme Spa removes a ton of real estate once originally meant for housing.

Just noticed the copyright statement on DC's 311 system pages, and...

if DC has been turned into or is being run by an LLC, that could explain a *few* things, tbh.

FTFY, @usatoday.com.
Truck carrying tank after Army's 250th birthday parade kills pedestrian in DC
The accident happened on the evening of June 16 while a truck was moving the tank from the parade staging area to a Maryland railyard.

A bold vision to fix up this area under the cross Bronx expressway by replacing parking with... EV parking.

Nice night for a Nice walk. #Nice.

Apparently my partner's dad, who _rarely_ texts, just sent "Meeting JD Vance killed Pope"...

And then my phone tried to correct that to "JD Cancel", which.......
If he were more of a self aware person, JD Vance would always wonder if, in fact, he had killed the Pope.

Maybe we can develop that skill of self reflection for him.

Admittedly couldn't remember who Ken Paxton was.

State attorney general who just lost over $6M to whistleblowers in his own office—who reported him for taking bribes from his girlfriend's employer—is a hell of a look for today's GOP (ok, ok, it's right on brand). apnews.com/article/texa...

As "nearly all" Cybertrucks are recalled —at least the 8th recall of that model alone— apnews.com/article/cybe..., a bunch of the White House's office "terminations" have also been "walked back." www.bisnow.com/national/new...

which made me wonder, at what point will DOGE's recalls eclipse Tesla's…

Slotkin wins where others cannot? She's a Democratic senator from a state that has elected one Republican senator in her lifetime—Spencer Abraham, who served one term and lost re-election. Her predecessor, Debbie Stabenow, beat him and was re-elected three times before retiring last year.
This is so profoundly strange from @slotkin.senate.gov. The Harris campaign ran one of the most aggressive outreach efforts to moderates, independents, and soft Republicans in recent memory!
March 6, 2025 at 10:44 PM
lol. Bisnow looks into the federal office leases that the new administration claims to have 'canceled', and it turns out .... most either had already expired or were about to, and in some cases the space had even already been vacated.

DOGE Reveals New Information On 100 Federal Lease 'Cancellations'
The Department of Government Efficiency released a new list of leases it says it has terminated, though many of them were set to expire this year or next year.

“I didn't pay attention to lyrics...”

Lol tell us something we didn't know.
way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

Can't decide if 'executing' is a poor choice of words to describe what the woman who famously killed her own dog and goat and then bragged about it in her memoir (www.theguardian.com/books/2024/a...) will be doing in her new job, or if maybe it's just perhaps a bit, er, on the nose...

wow, apparently even DC's weather has taken a big step back in time this week....

Here are the predicted wind chills Wednesday morning! Tomorrow's temperatures could be the coldest since 2018.

Dear Greyhound: fuck you, it isn't over yet.

(If I had room to move I'd be rolling on the floor laughing at this email sent half an hour after my scheduled arrival asking if I liked my trip — which left an hour and a half late and is now running closer to two hours behind...)
