Only in Washington, after three awful and miserable years totaling 51 wins can this be considered an 'A' grade season.
For the love of humanity.

@Russellmania621 @TeamGaston3 @netflix @WashWizards @thomloverro @GregFinberg I think there is alot to be very optimistic about for this team and their direction. They did very well last season and most Wiz fans Ive encountered feel the same.

“Will truly plays like and believes that you can’t stop him and you really can’t."
With long limbs and a nimble pivot foot, Will Riley's game is unusual, even "weird" according to teammates. But it works.
More on a young player quickly ascending. @monsportsnet monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/New-ar…

Shout out to Jade at Columbia Heights, DC @cava! Jade continues to shine as someone who ensures you have a good experience--quick service, fair portions, and friendly greetings! Great work!

@mattyglesias Passing inflation, however, could prove beneficial (pg. 7). We need to be careful on where we are caring about the inflation. F's to D's keep opportunity open and support economic benefits immediately after high school.

@Russellmania621 I love that Rooster cares about the Wizards now. Back on the map!
English
Wait. .so the #Wizards who almost everyone (not me!), wants to lose, found a way to win back to back home games on consecutive nights against a team that somehow wants to lose more??
Greg Finberg@GregFinberg
FINAL | WAS 131, IND 118 Williams: 25 PTS Cooper: 18 PTS Johnson: 14 PTS The Pacers rested 3 of their 5 starters for the entire fourth quarter and blew a 15-point lead as the Wizards won for the second time in as many nights. Alondes Williams was fantastic. Wiz are now 16-39.

@Russellmania621 @team980 D.C. radio now cares about tanking, right before Wiz introduce a top pick, add two potential all-NBA talents, and take off with four rising stars. This moment is incredibly exciting, not infuriating. Winger and Dawkins are properly building. Same with Mystics. OKC of East...?
English
The #Wizards finished as the absolute worst in this ranking. I hope all the voices in the media and fans that have begged for this -- have a strong sense of pride & worth. @team980

NEW @YahooSports STORY: Adam Silver says this is the most tanking he's ever seen. So I power ranked the tanking teams based on a sophisticated five-factor system. sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nb…

@MayorBowser @DCDPR Yet, there are only *two* youth girls basketball teams and *zero* girls leagues listed in the DPR registration portal. We need to do better.

Washington, DC is proud to be a national leader in women’s sports—from our #1 parks and recreation system and youth opportunities to world-class arenas and every one of DC’s women’s professional teams playing within city limits.
On National Girls and Women in Sports Day and all year long, we recognize that women’s sports make DC the Sports Capital.

@maustermuhle @CMZParker5 No scrambling needed...just walk very casually and leisurely to your traditional neighborhood public school, say hello to the friendly registrar, and you're good to go. Day one!
English
Interesting: A new bill from @CMZParker5 would give a D.C. school lottery preference to kids at charter schools that close. (Usual preferences include for siblings, at-risk kids, etc.) Parker says charter schools can close suddenly and frequently, leaving families scrambling.
English
@maustermuhle @mattyglesias New My School DC campaign: “Choose your traditional DCPS neighborhood school and you’ll get to go to school more.”
English
@mattyglesias That's a fair point. But with D.C. schools you're talking about moving 90,000 kids, many of whom travel across neighborhoods or the city to attend school. (And if Metrobuses aren't running on their usual schedule it can throw things off further.)
English
Well, it’s also the reality that many teachers and staff live outside D.C., and every jurisdiction around the city has closed their schools tomorrow also. Deciding whether to open schools isn’t just about if students can get there, it’s also about teachers.
Rachel Cohen Booth@rcobooth
"weather conditions" is too vague and euphemistic when the storm is very over. the city's lack of plowing is the reason x.com/dcpublicschool…
English
@maustermuhle We should collectively consider this misallocation of funds, resources, and enrollment a tragedy when only 22ish% of students attend their traditional neighborhood public schools. Sustaining two systems rips through the togetherness and spirit of our neighborhoods and city.
English
Frumin was echoing concerns made in recent years that the D.C. charter school sector's growth wasn't coordinated with DCPS, leaving many unfilled seats in some schools while others are packed. The charter school board has of recent moved away from expanding just to expand.
English
Fascinating: A mid-December report from @dcpolicycenter shows how the number of births has been dropping in D.C. in recent years, which will have significant impacts for the city's child care, pre-K, and school systems. (Read the report here: dcpolicycenter.org/publications/c…)
English
@DCDPR where are your youth girls basketball offerings? Please post all sites/teams on the registration portal--many families are asking and needing info. If you build it, they will come...

@robathmer @NCTM You wanna lay a bet on that 3 14 record next year boy
English
Who uses a period between the month and day? Today is 3-14 or 3/14. The former is the Washington Commanders' record next season and the latter is a student's assessment score when using 3.14 for pi. I know the math teacher community can be more creative and relevant...@NCTM

@r0bbier0berts0n @TheBandOfficial Bummed to miss it. Any future/annual plans to do this in select theaters? Please keep it up. We want it!

We can see the cold front on radar. Still near 80 inside the District (for next 15-20 mins) but just 70 or so behind the front:

DC area warm spell has mere minutes left. At 140p, it was 81 degrees at Dulles Airport w/ a wind from southwest. At 152p, it dropped to 72 as winds switched to out of the north.

Gear up for a bone-chilling #Halloween. 40s in DC for trick-or-treating. Could be worse, though. 20s in northern Great Lakes, Upper Midwest & northern New England.
Here's the national Halloween forecast: washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/1…

@BulletsForever By design. Winger and Dawkins' plans: find enough good-to-great individual performances from Kuzma, Poole, Jones, and Gallinari, in particular, to then flip contracts for tons of picks a la OKC. This is stuff we knew would happen. No culture/team growth here. It's a showcase.
English
The Wizards were perfectly content playing to trade baskets, with a team that is better offensively then they are. This is just poor fundamental basketball.
Tony East@TonyREast
The Pacers fast play doesn't always mean transition buckets. Watch how fast Haliburton inbounds the ball here off of a made shot from Kuzma. Pacers push and get their own shot in 6 seconds. Camera operator couldn't get to the play, Wizards coaching staff trying to alert players:

@barrysvrluga I’m with @RealMikeWilbon on this one. I-95 bias. Life exists between the coasts…DBacks are a great story with tremendous players. They just don’t have a sub-.200 hitter batting leadoff 🤷♂️ . What will we ever talk about!?

Sorry, Dbacks. October needs the Phillies. Baseball needs the Phillies. washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/10…
