Imagine seeing that video of James Madison celebrating and thinking: We need to fix this system so Notre Dame is never this upset again.

This is the traffic engineer equivalent of the developer "all unit tests pass" bit
Classic suburban office park pedestrian accommodation.

Once again reiterating that if you see someone saying "DC isn't a great/real city because it doesn't have ________" it's almost always a skill issue of that person, and that thing almost always already exists in a rich and meaningful way.

"I told the nurse I jog three days a week, play soccer, lift weights, and take spin classes. She just giggled. Honestly, I’m used to it. It was kind of annoying when she took my blood pressure four times, though."

People laugh at realizing they’re older than Murtaugh when he said he was “getting too old for this shit” but we never talk about how they weep when it hits them they’re older than Kirk was when he was complaining of age in Wrath of Kahn.

one thing that's always exciting, from a motorsport perspective, is remembering that our governing bodies could not even get close to being like a tenth as corrupt as FIFA

first shown at the Air and Space Museum on the Mall
40 years ago today, on December 6th, 1979, the basically unfinished Star Trek: The Motion Picture, in which Spock gets his heart, premiered in Washington D.C. I'm in the pro camp on this one, eschewing that silly odd/even thing with the Trek films.

I don't get why people don't just move on when a Nazi is profiting from your engagement. "We've always been at war on twitter" isn't a good look

The refusal to consider DC Statehood is largely a reluctance to give DC two Senators, which itself is a tacit admission that the United States Senate is an anti-democratic institution.
Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.
