This is the ANC (7F) with boundaries designed to let its chairman control the Reservation 13 development. Check out SMD 7F07.
It’s what the ward task force wanted, and it had the support of the ward councilmember or whoever was speaking for him.

If they had a wildlife contest at the DC State Fair, this guy would win. He does not care.

The Post’s criticism of the mayor-elect’s plans for government-run grocery stores amused me, because the Pike Place Market is government-run, the best place in town for groceries for over 100 years, and a major tourist attraction

So many questions, including: what did I do to deserve this message, and is it real? But there is no time to wonder.
I must not hesitate to contact the Speaker’s office for help with federal agencies that are menacing my city with a campaign of race-based incarceration and intimidation.

![[I]t’s clear that Trump is a president who, much like the witch in “The Wiz,” don’t want nobody bringing no bad news. Publish a sour jobs report? Lose your job as the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Insist on seeing scientific data regarding vaccine guidelines? Hope you enjoyed your month as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
As official government data becomes more politicized, it’s increasingly important that independent sources maintain their integrity. Journalists in particular have a professional obligation to pursue and provide the truth to the best of their abilities. That’s the job. I hope and trust that most of my colleagues still have the courage to do it right.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hulb5axlor7zttcil4rjuwog/bafkreibp2hjw7feaujybp6wfamigsb6s365e4cdqrlnuqieibuwxfempae@jpeg)

This strikes me as very funny: The Washington Post’s new ad campaign proclaims: “Now is not the time to stop reading.”
First of all, motherfuckers, there’s never been a better time to stop reading this eviscerated newspaper.
Second, the slogan seems to rip off a NYT editorial?

Zach. It’s Eugene Vindman. I need to know—can I count on you?
It’s only fair that I should tell you this straight up: you should never count on me. In Congress I will do whatever it takes to disappoint you.
So do you have $25? Give it to me.

3 police vehicles (2 unmarked) pulled over a Giant Food delivery truck at Military Rd & Oregon Ave NW, blocking traffic near St. John’s school. My MIL took this picture before being scared off by a cop. Minutes later she saw the same (or a similar) Giant truck on Military, suggesting no arrest.

In DC, feral intruders will come and just help themselves to your neighbor’s property in the middle of the day with no consequences. One appears to be a juvenile.

Yes, I cropped this photo (from Axios newsletter; credit: Andrew Harnik/Getty Images) but I swear I didn’t doctor it.

I like Fort DeRussy because the forest has reclaimed it. You’d never guess what a great spot it was for the Union Army to fire a 100-pound Parrot rifle at 15,000 confederates. (They retreated.)

There’s also a vaguely described project in DMPED’s capital budget. I think this is the road and water/sewer/storm infrastructure, but it could instead be the sportsplex (which I haven’t found anywhere in the budget yet)

Well, are you going to click “Replay Gamestream” to savor the drama of all those walks and passed balls?
