Driving, like life in general, is so much less stressful when you treat making room for others and being a safe person for others as a core part of the task, rather than jostling for every possible advantage and seeing yourself in opposition to or in competition with the people around you.

Good morning. A CSX train horn is stuck going off in our neighborhood
NEWS: A federal judge has saved the 15th Street protected bike lane (for now), saying the decision to remove the lane running from Constitution Avenue to the Tidal Basin was "arbitrary and capricious and not the result of reasoned decision-making." It was to be removed this week.

Is there a specific term or camera type that sport events have started using that gets that cinematic look better than a regular broadcast? I've noticed it at least on NBA/NCAA broadcasts as well as the Masters
Literally what my parents did
We'll hang Jeff Davis up a sour apple tree, We'll hang Jeff Davis up a sour apple tree, We'll hang Jeff Davis up a sour apple tree, As we go marching along, Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, hallelujah As we go marching along
Been singing "John Brown's Body" to my daughter as a lullaby recently, and this is my favorite verse, especially considering we live a half mile from his grave
Spotted this weekend, in case anyone had doubts about the intent of the Vote No campaign
Someone set off fireworks nearby, and I thought it happened

Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min
Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.
Thinking about the guy at work who was kneeling over a set of drawings and got really upset when someone said he was kneeling towards Mecca

My favorite detail is the bus barrelling down the sidewalk
Quote post from a guy who says "Exactly right. On-street parking is essential for the sidewalk to FEEL safe. Without it, moving cars will destroy the vibe- even with a bike lane buffer."
A screenshot of that guy's LinkedIn page indicating that he's a Principal Project Coordinator for the City of Los Angeles, and is involved in infrastructure and street safety improvements.
It's too early for me to be getting worked up like this
Hot take: Removing on-street parking can actually hurt your local businesses. Parallel parking is not just car storage. It is urban infrastructure. ✅ It acts as a steel barrier protecting pedestrians from moving traffic. ✅ It calms traffic by narrowing the visual corridor. ✅ It supports outdoor dining and vibrant street life. ✅ It eliminates the need for massive, dead-space parking lots. On-street parking isn't the enemy of walkability. When done right, it's the buffer that makes it possible. #UrbanEconomics #Placemaking #MainStreet #mobaraktomars

I can't tell if this makes me want to watch more or less Nats baseball bsky.app/profile/cjze...
Or should I pay for an Orioles subscription and lean into my Maryland ancestral roots?
Worst part of living in Richmond is not being able to turn on any local broadcast channels for Nats, Wizards or Caps games. Tempted to pay the $100 for the Nats subscription even though they stink
Seconding Saucony Peregrines. On my second pair at this point and they're great. Feel a lot lighter than they actually are
Vital journalism here. Read/repost please. We need to grapple with the entirely human decisions leading to the slaughter of children in Iran & beyond.Tempting to file it under “AI” but they would be inaccurate & deadly too. And, as a treat, this article may help put ppl in prison one day.🍬
It feels like most AI boosters are thinking "This LLM isn't smarter than me, but it IS smarter than what I imagine the median consumer is"
