Chuck Mangione - Feels So Good (Nana's Journey Into Song, March 8th, 1979) YouTube video by Chuck Mangione

Just because we haven’t talked about Chuck Mangione in a while, here’s a good break: youtu.be/ZOtxTyJmxVI

We can just sit around and talk about how we’ve both never seen any of those shows, and then talk about other stuff! :)

Curious to know why you make western and central lower Michigan different than the rest of the lower peninsula. (Like, what makes Kalamazoo better than Bay City?)

His name is Chris Newman, his farm is here blackbirdcoop.com
They deliver to DC, NoVa, Richmond, and parts of MD.

I never want to be a killjoy so I won't get in the way of people dancing in the streets when he drops dead but I think one reason everyone is so thirsty for it is we tacitly understand that to be the only consequence he'll ever face. Which sucks! There should be way more consequences

I know I am just good at killing a joke, but it’s not a guy we have to thank for a lot of modern acceptance of Wegener’s hypothesized continental drift, but a woman. Don’t sleep on Marie Tharp and her sea floor maps!

If you are a Led Zeppelin fan, what was the song that did it for you?

For me, it was hearing Kashmir for the first time when I was about 14.

The way those roots and tiles interact! 😍

That thing where New York’s mayor calls out DC’s mayor—and frankly, almost every other mayor in the United States. But especially DC’s outgoing, soon-to-be-former (oh thankfully!) mayor.

Across an expanse of 5 lanes a young woman carting groceries waits in a turning lane to cross the street to her apartment complex.

Bad road design is putting this woman in danger. It’s a third of a mile to the nearest crosswalk and 2/3 mile to the nearest ped signal. A student was hit in this same location a few yrs ago & the police said to the newspaper: “I hope he learned his lesson.”

What’s the address on this?

Got a picture of it!

Vance has chihuahua energy. He’s got no rizz, weird eyes, and everyone who meets him treats him with a mixture of pity and disgust. And so his response is to try and fight everyone, shitty little attacks that are impotent and mostly just kinda funny. Chihuahua energy.

The Board of Zoning Adjustment Hasn’t Had a Quorum For More Than a Month, Snarling Housing Renovation and Development A series of recent departures and a yearlong vacancy have effectively halted crucial zoning decisions. Cases have been pushed back to June—at the earliest.

A series of departures and a yearlong vacancy have effectively shut down D.C.'s Board of Zoning Adjustment.

Meanwhile, one couple’s home sits half-built while they live in a temporary apartment, waiting for a hearing that could be delayed indefinitely. Contributor Suzie Amanuel has the story:

Picture of me, Jaime, and Dave.

Seven years ago today. Still cannot make sense of that. Miss ya, Dave.

Picture of an ad in a WMATA bus shelter at 7th and H streets in DC. Not going to quote what it says as those fascist racist pigs don’t need me to help push their message any further. Fuck those bastards.

What the hell is this Nazi shit at a @wmata.com bus stop in Chinatown, DC?

Days behind on the discourse here, but man, “urbanists” who extensively bitch and moan about unions have really internalized the messages that capitalism wanted you to consider foundational and unchangable. Those whiners shouldn’t be considered “thought leaders,” unless you want to led into a pit.

The heat wave is dead. Hallelujah!

Pictures of the Magnolia Branches LEGO set. Costs $50. It's six open magnolia blooms and many more smaller buds on a series of small branches.

@chelseydc.bsky.social relevant to your interests ;)

Picture of a LEGO set box for the USS Enterprise 1701-D. It has 3600 pieces and costs $400.

Sign in a Kid to Kid store.

It’s kiddo consignment shopping time!

If we can’t have good reporting, we might as well have all possible types of bad reporting!

"Don't Rank Pinto: Leave Brooke Pinto off your ballot. June 16."

As Councilmember, Brooke Pinto has consistently advanced policies that endanger Black and Brown families. Yesterday she did it again for her own political gain.

We encourage DC voters: #DontRankPinto.

AI slop. How many labels can be added to an image? And where's the joke?

This should be a no-brainer. For Christ's sake STOP Posting obvious AI-generated political cartoons! Bluesky is awash in this shit these days. There are tons of real live human political cartoonists here, posting terrific work. Repost those.

If you're unclear, here's how to spot AI slop:

the twitter fail whale but it's ALF being hoisted by red butterflies

Yeah, if I had more room in the box I would have ranted about that, believe me. ;)
