We can dream big again. @USDOT just announced a design challenge for citizens of all backgrounds to submit visionary proposals for transportation infrastructure projects. $650,000 in prizes. Deadline is May 13. transportation.gov/BeautifyTransp…

I’m 100 percent convinced the Art Deco design of Hoover Dam is America’s greatest ever public project and we’ll probably never come close again

It was a long, harsh winter in D.C. We can finally call it over. After a long and often harsh season — punctuated by persistent cold, stubborn snow and ice, and a late-season chill this week — the pattern ahead has shifted. Milder air is taking hold, and there are no meaningful signs of a return to sustained cold or accumulating snow. That means we can officially declare the winter of 2025-2026 behind us. We’ve made it a tradition to mark the onset of spring once the threat of prolonged cold and lasting snow has passed. The forecast now clearly favors warmer days, budding trees and a steady march toward spring — even if a few bumps remain along the way. The forecast ahead is promising for flowers — and for fans of warmer weather. Highs surge into the 60s on Friday and reach the 70s by Sunday. But a warning: Springlike weather doesn’t mean sustained warmth. Next week, for example, daily highs bounce between the low 50s and mid-60s — a reminder that spring is a season of swings. Still, there is little sign of any return to sustained wintry weather.

So how’d y’all meet? Over pints, live updates from the Strait of Hormuz, and the oil price ticker.

A great way to bring together the classical architecture of federal Washington and the city of Washington's eight wards—honoring both.

Mayor Muriel Bowser@MayorBowser

Notable detail: Each column will be made up of 8 flutes blended into one. A metaphor for 8 wards of Washington, DC. The economic activity and the civic pride of bringing home the Commanders home will benefit our entire city.

Millions of people around the world thought they were catching Pikachu. Turns out they were crowdsourcing one of the largest AI image datasets ever to train delivery robots. Wild.

POKÉMON GO PLAYERS TRAINED 30 BILLION IMAGE AI MAP Niantic says photos and scans collected through Pokémon Go and its AR apps have produced a massive dataset of more than 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation for delivery robots, letting them identify exact locations on city streets without relying on GPS. Source: NewsForce

The Atlantic@TheAtlantic·5d

Jollibee, the Filipino fast-food chain known for its fried chicken, burgers, and sweet spaghetti, was born out of a demand for American fast food in a postcolonial Philippines. To differentiate itself, the chain adjusted flavors to suit the local palate, influenced by a long history of Indigenous, Chinese, and Spanish settlement that “demands maximum levels of sour, sweet, salty, and umami.” theatln.tc/KU5DAg62 Now, the chain has more than 1,700 stores across the globe and is set on reshaping the American palate in a uniquely Filipino way. Yasmin Tayag talks with her colleague Ellen Cushing over a shared meal. (From February)

Very pro this idea. Lining up on 15th Street to go through security in double-wide trailers isn’t exactly White House-worthy. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

Typomaxxing is the new meta. You've got to be making grammatical errors, random extra spaces, at least 1 "teh" per email or else people will think you're an AI-using workslop slinger and ignore you

“If you’ve been a resident of D.C. you’ve walked past dozens of fountains that haven’t worked for decades,” says @SecretaryBurgum, saying the Trump administration is spending $120 million to fix federal fountains in the city as part of the country’s 250th anniversary.

It’s hard to overstate how much your quality of life improves when it gets dark at 7pm, or later, instead of 5pm.
