I just invoked Jon Snow, Aragorn and Winston Churchill in a talk about beer in case you're wondering how I feel re: fall seasonals in August

Making a playlist called “Dudes Will Hear this and say hell yeah” and it’s supposed to sound like XBOX and mtn dew code red. Maybe a Transformers movie. What should I add

Let's be clear about what this is - a pro-displacement, pro-gentrification map. For the next 24 years, the landscape of the city will barely change, prices will go up, and wealthy residents will push out poorer ones.

👋 DC housing policy Twitter 🏘️🏗️ The Office of Planning released their *draft* Future Land Use Map earlier today. 🗺️: dc2050.dc.gov/pages/draft-fu… The map will be a big part of the city's next Comprehensive Plan rewrite, "DC 2050." What are your thoughts?

@PoPville Is this replacing Mai Thai or going into another space in the same building? If the former: - Same ownership? Odd for the article/announcement to not include anything about Mai Thai closing. - Will they continue the free entree on your birthday deal??

Dave Barry used to write columns about his plan to run for president on a "two-prong tax plan." The prongs were (1) everyone will pay less, and (2) you, personally, will pay nothing. Now, this is just politics.
Rotimi Adeoye@_rotimia

So close to a Democrat running and saying “no taxes for anyone” and then immediately arguing the government should spend thousands and thousands of more dollars on xyz program. The Democrats are in a policy creativity race to the bottom.

There’s a number of beers I have where I decide I want to try reading Ulysses, and I fear it does not match up well with the number of beers you should have while actually trying to read Ulysses

Once witnessed the following order: - Vodka martini - Extra extra dry - “Not shaken or stirred” - Olives on the side Took the bartender a minute but eventually put together that she was asking for a large glass of room temperature vodka with some olives as a snack
brecht apologist@madisontayt_

last night i had a man order, verbatim, “vodka martini with no vermouth AND extra dry, with olives” i assumed i had misheard so i clarified if he said extra dry or extra dirty. he repeated “vodka martini with no vermouth AND extra dry” oh my fucking god

This season hasn’t had much to be proud of (at least after November) but Mulready is an absolute dog and should be remembered as such

Ultra rare flip from record warmth to cold and snow! ❄️🔥 Falling to 33 degrees with snow, temperatures in D.C. were at least 53 degrees colder this afternoon compared with the record high of 86 degrees Wednesday. It’s the largest 24-hour dip since Reagan National Airport became the official observation location in 1945. It was probably the biggest drop in D.C. over a day or less since 54 degrees Jan. 28-29, 1934, when it fell from 65 to 11 degrees, from 3 p.m. to 7 a.m., per data from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. The rare occurrence is made even more so by the snow that fell. For D.C., where 0.1 inch was reported: -A high of at least 77 degrees was observed in the predawn, which is the warmest it has been on the same day as accumulating snow. Before this, the top mark was 67 degrees on Nov. 11, 1995, when 0.2 inches accumulated the same day. -Wednesday’s 86 degrees was also the warmest on the day prior to snow accumulation. Before this round, the warmest it has been the day before accumulation is 78 degrees on March 18, 1934, when 0.1 inches fell the next day. For Dulles International Airport, where 0.6 inches fell: -The 74-degree high in the predawn was the warmest it has been the same day as accumulating snow. The prior record there was 68 degrees and 0.2 inches on March 3, 1972. -It was 86 degrees at Dulles on Wednesday. Before this, the warmest followed by accumulating snow was 77 degrees on March 15, 2007. A total of 1.2 inches of snow fell the next day with a high of 39 degrees.

Too much debate over whether it's "ethical" to intentionally foul for the ball back or shoot 43 free throws or whatever Not enough debate over whether it's "ethical" to score 83 points against the Washington Wizards

I get the impetus for policy action here but I would very much prefer a labeling/warning solution for the idiots who flush wipes. - Every baby/toddler parent in DC
Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle

WAR ON WIPES? @chenderson has introduced a bill that would impose a *15% sales tax* on disposable wipes. (The standard sales tax is 6%.) The revenue would go to help @dcwater pay for sewer upgrades. Her bill would also make exempt bidets from the city's sales tax.
