@BarredinDC Quite telling that Bowser’s DDOT rolling over on bike lanes and its hand being forced are so indistinguishable from one another that the corollary was necessary in the first place.

Another source on removal of 15th st PBL “that stretch of the 15th St PBL is all NPS-owned land; they don't need DDOT permission to remove it. And whoever is saying that DDOT rolled over without a fight is simply lying.”

Very sorry to hear of António Lobo Antunes’s passing. A genuine literary giant who refused to be silent about Portugal’s fascist and colonial history, and a novelist who pushed the boundaries of the form. Que descanse em paz.

Have never reached a settled opinion on Bloomsbury. Only one actual A grade genius (Keynes). Woolf close but valued for all the wrong things. Clive Bell and Roger Fry are more unreadable than Thomas Carlyle. Cult around the holy sites (Charleston!) and paintings is off-putting and misguided. Their morality is somewhat admirable. Paul Johnson basically blames them for everything that went wrong in the entire 20th century: seems a bit much. Lytton Strachey as good an essayist as Britain has produced. Enormous blind spots on race and class waved away. But would rather bask in Woolf’s diaries than read dull contemporaries like Orwell. Always think about the fact that when Hermione Lee was asked if she had fantasies of meeting Virginia Woolf she said she would have been too afraid to have tea with her.

Indian novelist and art critic Mulk Raj Anand - TS Eliot's assistant at the Criterion - offers the most withering critique of Woolf of all. Overlooked by literary scholars, his account of being bullied in Woolf's drawing-room can be found in Conversations in Bloomsbury (1981).

Phenomenal news for those of us tired of Johnny Mac waxing nostalgic about the Oasis concert he saw last week, the current state of the Knicks, or the disintegration of his marriage to Tatum O’Neal in the middle of a thirty-ball rally.

@willmenaker My favorite of the unlikely roomie genre is Clarence Thomas and Edward P. Jones at Holy Cross.

@Franklin_Graham @NFL @TPUSA You’ll never be the towering charlatan your father was, but it’s still inspiring to see you try to put as many points on the board as possible before the buzzer!

Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform. The @NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, @TPUSA and @MrsErikaKirk for providing an alternative—“The All-American Halftime Show” with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom! tpusa.com/live/tpusa-s-a…

@DanEggenDC @NickRiccardi There are other publications offering all of the above who have not decided to commit to a business model of harakiri, so why not reward them with my business?

@DanEggenDC @NickRiccardi I understand the point of not punishing the skeleton crew still manning the pumps in the hull, but what’s the point of supporting a publication no longer offering any meaningful cultural, sports, international, or local coverage when my finite income can be best spent elsewhere?
