One thing I love about living in DC is I'm entering into my fifth year of not having to think about gas prices. I spend $30-40 a month on metro.

Gas $3? $4? Not my problem!

I hate to say it's gotten to this point but my interest in this team and the World Cup has absolutely cratered.

I'll watch, but I just don't give a fuck anymore. The sycophants and idiots at every level have ruined any excitement I had for this competition.

Seeing a lot of Iranian people going through the Cuban/Venezuelan experience this week, i.e. having to explain to braindead leftists why a dictator is actually a bad thing and why it's fun to celebrate their deaths, even if you don't support the people doing the bombing.

On what has been a very newsy weekend, this place feels completely dead compared to twitter and even Threads.

Even if I disagree with the methods and politics behind it, I will always enjoy seeing people celebrate the death of their repressive dictator.

The amount of times I've had to wonder about DC's air defenses under Trump is way more than I ever had to under Biden, which was zero times

I got on what I was certain was a Green Line train only to shoot out over the Potomac, get off at Pentagon, and see I was on a Yellow Line train labeled... U Street. What?

Every single person in the National Capital Region is going to be outside tomorrow

However bad the Netflix deal was, this is almost certainly worse.

I love the Spirit but the kit designs during my time in DC have been so bad

Legitimately one of the only times I have seen Zohran not smiling lol

They released the soundtrack for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with the updated main theme from the episode 4 credits and it is so good

I can't believe I only just discovered I'm a few blocks from a Jamaican restaurant that serves a Cuban pork plate with two sides for $12. And $4 homemade desserts.

Completely unheard of Hialeah style pricing for DC.

Definitely a lot easier to ignore when the games are on after midnight and you can only watch them on those shitty illegal streams lol

I spent 2016-2018 abroad in Spain during Trump's first term and coming back was one of my worst mistakes.

I would move abroad again tomorrow if I had the right visa and professional setup to stay in my career.

Not sure if something is afoot, but I've had The Rains of Castamere stuck in my head all day

Socializing with coworkers is great, but using your (often unpaid) lunch time to talk about work for an hour is a bummer.

And in my experience that's what most social lunchers want to do.

and despite this list I am in fact a Miami sports fan, but with a soft spot for DC soccer teams

Some of my DC/DMV interests if that helps me find other locals on here:

SW DC
DC United
Washington Spirit
The Anthem
AFI Silver
DC's theatre scene
Dupont Farmers Market
Amtrak's Northeast Regional
WMATA

Find me, DC and Miami friends!

I've now migrated from Twitter to Threads to Bsky. Who else in DC is active here?

Need to replace my DC Threads community, which is the only thing that place had going for it anymore.
