Jacque Patterson, running for DC Council at-large, to the Ward 1 Dems endorsement meeting, which is ranked-choice just like the actual election this June: "I hope you'll rank me number 1, but if not....I'll be your side piece." 🙀
yes, it's supposed to go in (occupy all of) the middle of Memorial Circle, across Memorial Bridge from the Lincoln Monument but probably chiefly known as the approach to Arlington National Cemetery...

"The burly bronze bison busts are a gift to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary" and, apparently, also a gift to poetical journalists...

It's not Vance (he's up at the Naval Observatory), it's Stephen Miller who lives at Ft McNair bc he _isn't_ VP but still needed to live in a walled compound protected by soldiers
This is so shitty and disrespectful. Marisa fought for MONTHS to get access to this information and NBC sliding in to try to scoop her is unprofessional and shameful. Seeing mainstream outlets consistently use her reporting, including her FOIA work, with no credit is galling.
he does have an account, but seems not to use it.

much more active on twitter, naturally, though post-only—doesn't look like he ever replies: twitter.com/SegravesNBC4
(I've long thought he was a slimy jackass, so I suppose it's "nice" to have that confirmed, at least.)
ok, clearly i need to acquire the Sabres pride jersey somehow

Keep an eye on www.rideofsilence.org/locations-do... just in case, but the #BikeDC #RideOfSilence 2026 details will likely be the same as in recent past years — on the Third Wednesday of #BikeMonth, meet at Pennsylvania & 13½ St NW, roll at 7pm.
Mark your calendars and plan to join us.
new yorkers seem to have a thing for shitting on Oberlin.
i don't know if it's because it's the only small liberal school they know or because so many Obies are *from* there (when I was there in the early 2000s, nearly 1 in 6 Oberlin students were from NYC, Westchester, or Long Island), but…
GET THE PRESIDENT OFF MY FUCKING TV SCREEN COME ON
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...
Bisnow headline: Yugo Acquires Student Housing Operator To Expand U.S. Operations To Nearly 40,000 Beds
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?

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.
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.
Even more than this — DC is great, it's the people the rest of you send to Washington you hate.
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 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.

The Mayor & Chief had at least six weeks to communicate!
They could even have chosen to communicate and even interact with the community _before_ making the request to NPS. But that would require believing residents are worth interacting with, instead of just speaking at…
ah, but, see, that enhanced lighting will also render everything in pastels, even in the depths of the underpass...
Fitbit screen says I had 69 "Zone Mins" of moderate activity — "Nice work!" — on my walk home from Georgetown
Nice night for a Nice walk. #Nice.
that presumes the Mayor's Office hadn't already decided what to do with that space 3.5 years ago....
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.......
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...

AP headline: "In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all Cybertrucks"
Bisnow headline: "DOGE Reverses Plan To Terminate 135 Leases, GSA Says More Could Be Spared" Subhead: "The impact of the White House’s push to shrink the federal government’s office footprint shrank significantly overnight."
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.
