@beyonddc Philly shows out on the Broad Street Line for 76ers games. The Wizards are just horrible.

On the DC Metro you can always tell if there's an MLB, NHL, or NFL game starting soon, but never NBA. Is this lack of riders repping NBA gear universal or a DC thing?

Today marks 7 years since our last traffic fatality in Hoboken, 1 of the only US cities to reach this milestone. Although we’ve had success creating safer streets, we’ll continue to aggressively implement Vision Zero in all major infrastructure projects. jalopnik.com/traffic-fatali…

The most striking thing about my walk this morning was condo buildings with 100+ units that had not shoveled their sidewalks.

Everyone loves to hate on corporate landlords. Today, I'm going to show some love. Corporate landlords shovel their dang sidewalks! In DC and Philly, it appears that approximately no one else does. Thank you, corporate landlords, for doing your part.

Holy buried lede, batman! Norway, Finland, and Denmark, where college is FREE, have pretty similar student debt to the U.S. twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/s…

Oh, and a bonus chart that I think will fry a lot of people’s brains and break a lot of narratives: For all the talk of six figure costs of college in the States, here’s how much debt graduates leave university with in the UK and US vs other countries

BREAKING: The IRS is using funds from Biden's #IRA legislation to launch a free online tax filing service, Direct File, in 2024 for taxpayers. The program will be piloted in 13 states, saving working families money, time, and stress. This is progress. cnn.com/2023/10/17/pol…

Warning: the visual editor in @posit_pbc's RStudio will reformat your README.md so it no longer correctly renders on GitHub. I only touch the visual editor for the Zotero integration. Otherwise it's just pain.

Look no further for evidence of the consummate malfeasance of America’s road engineers. (Thanks @YIMBYLAND.)

My most deeply held belief is that Olivia Rodrigo is a conspiracy by the Big 3 auto companies to get youths who stopped caring about driving and licenses to care about driving and licenses. youtube.com/shorts/jmWhFGG…

RIP Robbie Robertson. Tough hearing the news of his death while visiting his birthplace of Toronto. The bitterness between Robbie and Levon Helm is so tragic. The band had as good of a decade of music making as anyone.

💛🐧yesterday, palmerpenguins reached 1 million CRAN downloads! The adoption & love this little data package has received over the past 3 years has been truly overwhelming. Here are some of my favorite (and maybe lesser known) moments from palmerpenguins’ history. 🧵1/11
