DC DPW won't ticket cars in the bike lane because there's snow in the parking spots. There's snow in the parking spots because DPW can't clear it when cars park next to it. Catch 22 until warmer weather, and drivers still scream / honk for not using the (non-existent) bike lane #bikedc

Had a strange brain-blank earlier where I was thinking of "Chipotle" but the only name I could recall in the moment was "Boloco", ie the Boston-based burrito chain that left DC in 2014. Side note: just looked them up and they're back to a single location in Boston, down from a peak of 22 in 2014.

New crane going up over WH east wing, looks quite a bit taller than the first. Spotted an (intrepid) group casually hanging out at the edge after I got back to my desk

Whether it's Jeremiah Wright saying "God damn America" during a 2003 church service that Barack Obama did not attend or Donald Trump using federal forces to terrorize Americans while exploding the cost of living, both sides have shown malice toward America.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

Construction ramping up on Pennsylvania Ave NW in front of the Treasury. Don't think we'll be seeing street hockey games there again anytime soon.

Might be an unpopular opinion with #bikedc folks but I don't think these "bikes" have any business in an office building's crowded bike room. eBikes? Sure, but not this monstrosity. The cranks are tiny!

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

I never understand why this one residential stretch of VT Ave NW- just south of Logan Circle- always has so many cars in bike lanes #bikedc

Glad to hear that E* lives on! This news reminded me that the LNE v1.0 spec + test procedure was published 10 years ago this month. It was the first major "start to finish" project of my consulting career and features arguably my most effective PowerPoint diagram designs

Thanks to @popville.bsky.social for the flyover warning this morning. Still very distracting during a client call, but at least not cause for (slight) concern

Today Virginia resident Sophia Maltas was sentenced to 45 days in jail for hitting and killing 24-year-old Nina Larson as she was crossing Columbia Road NW in a crosswalk in November 2021. The sentencing hearing was emotionally wrenching and difficult.

I've watched each morning as the White House destruction progressed. Truly heartbreaking to witness.
