Wait, 9.8 points out of the proposed 12.9% increase in Kaiser health insurance premiums in DC is from increased profit margin?

This is not a polo shirt (though it does seem like maybe he's becoming DC Sandwich Guy rather than Pink Polo Shirt Guy now).

In the year 2025 companies are still managing to send out notices demanding payment of $0.00 balances. The question is whether they're using AI to do it.

The Washington Post continues to make me feel good about not renewing my subscription last year. It's using AI to highlight comments, and this is what it identifies as something worth seeing. Rather than moderating trolls, it's featuring them.

In the Ward 8 special election, the votes that aren't for Trayon White's comeback are close to evenly split between the other 3 candidates. There couldn't be a better demonstration of why we need ranked choice voting. I'm glad the funding for it passed its […]

The spotted lanternfly nymphs are turning red now. They can really jump when you try to step on them. Seen on Klingle Bridge in Cleveland Park, DC.

The spotted lanternflies have hatched in DC. I saw this nymph on the Ellington Bridge along with several others.

A cop from Mayor Adams' security detail brought the victim to be tortured by the crypto bros? Is the next step a call from the White House saying to wind down the investigation?

Found this garbage installed on my mother's phone, popping up ads and prompting her to update things—though it was showing up as "Android System Update" rather than "System Update for Android". I don't understand why Google would allow an app with either of […]

The Trump administration has apparently backed down on (some of?) its demands to Harvard, but no one knows for sure because of the usual Trump chaos and incompetence […]

Looking up medical test results from a few years ago for no particular reason.

A jury in North Dakota full of people connected to the fossil fuel industry has decided that Greenpeace must pay a pipeline company hundreds of millions of dollars for Standing Rock protests. Greenpeace's total assets are about $50 million […]

The destruction of Black Lives Matter Plaza has begun. Jackhammers are at work on the "Matter" block. It might take a day or two to get to "Black Lives".

Free DC on Mayor Bowser's decision to remove the name of Black Lives Matter Plaza.

This is an absurd headline. The phrase "Armored Tesla" was changed to "Armored Electric Vehicles" in a procurement forecast. Tesla was not removed from any contract.
