@AladinKumar1 @conorsen @mattyglesias I literally work in the private sector as do most of my friends. This is exactly the issue - The outside perception of DC is that it’s just a shredder for your tax dollars. There’s a real city here as well.

@jawickham @conorsen @mattyglesias If DC wants to develop its own *private* economy, ok, sure, but it largely hasn’t.
English
Somewhat surprising that the only person I see consistently talk about the dire situation of the DC economy is @mattyglesias.

@BarredinDC People do this all the time in DC and I’ve never seen someone do it anywhere else

It’s Friday so I was super excited to get my GDP direct deposit this morning

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.

You just created a million Charlie Kirks but literally

Legislation has been filed in Congress to put Charlie Kirk on U.S. coinage.

It’s funny that for a while, the only guys who knew this were Obama and the Blink-182 guy
CSPAN@cspan
.@pdoocy: "Obama said that aliens are real. Have you seen any evidence of non-human visitors to Earth?" President Trump: "He gave classified information. He's not supposed to be doing that."

@leylaaa31 I’ve never heard it described this way but this is exactly it

It’s not looking so good for the chancery.

Would corporate law cases be decided better by Grok or the Delaware Court of Chancery?

Zuck shared a playlist of songs he played on repeat while building Facebook in 2004. It's so funny that these are the five songs are the part of Facebook's dna

@maustermuhle This man with weights around his ankles can’t swim! Think about that next time he asks you to take the weights off.

Fair, but that poop river is originating in Maryland (with sewage from Virginia and Maryland), and both Maryland and Virginia counties also have their schools closed also!
D.C. isn't perfect, but neither are many states.
Joey Brown@JBinDC
DC has an actual poop river, six inches of ice on the sidewalks, and schools closed for 3+ days after a storm everyone knew was coming. Kindly keep this in mind the next time you hear a lecture about statehood.

@BarredinDC Georgetown Law School Civil Justice Clinic is a wild call out

Johnny’s All-American has closed after 3 years. Selling everything today and moving out tomorrow. Long and passionate message from owner Branden Givand.
Closing message calls out specifically one bar (Buddy’s) and others who he feels led to closure

@migold I heard someone say that DC’s snow removal force is entirely solar powered and it took a second to land with me

new-ish DC resident asking … are the sidewalks and streets always like this after it snows or
English
Something profoundly funny to me about a big snow storm coming in and like 6,000 people’s reaction being “Damn what am I gonna do about the Gregory Alan Isakov show?”
The Anthem@TheAnthemDC
The Gregory Alan Isakov show at The Anthem will proceed as planned. The performance will start promptly at 8:00 PM, with Gregory hitting the stage at that time. We hope to see you all there safely. Please continue to monitor our social media and check your email for any updates.

@conorsen I don’t think the analogy holds. Caps are artificial constraints imposed because the product of American sports is competition itself. The rules are in place to keep the game competitive and entertaining. Viewing media through that lens is missing the point of what it’s for.
English
Sports fans understand that player salaries, the salary cap, second apron, media rights deals are part of the discourse, this is just the Hollywood version.
Derek Thompson@DKThomp
This is a really interesting point. There’s no question that movie discourse these days is a blur between “is the movie good?” and “can we turn its P&L into a discourse?” and I have to imagine that’s frustrating for folks who care a lot about question 1 and DGAF about 2. On the other hand, movies really aren’t like “books or other art forms.” It costs a handful of FTE salaries to produce a typical book. It costs tens of millions of dollars just to *market* a film like Sinners or OBAA and ~$100 or more to make it. Entertainment economics isn’t always fun to talk about but things like production budget inflation and the globalization (and de-globalization) of Hollywood shape the movies that are made and how they’re made. I love film critics who don’t try to be “number crunching accountants” but I would claim film is more shaped by broad economic forces than books
