@AmtrakNECAlerts I am trying to book travel from WAS to NHV and every train I select says I can’t book on the app and need to call. Phone message says no booking available at all. Is there any way to book a train trip?

@marthagimbel The corn was so high in Kansas that Curly could see it all the way from Oklahoma.

Wait so “oh what a beautiful morning” is a lie?!

@marthagimbel Just huddle in your icebound home and allow your trapped offspring and the winter sun’s glare to drive you mad like the rest of us.

DC parents: should I try to lock in temporary childcare for Thursday/Friday or do we think there’s any chance they’re going back to school? (I’ve written off Wednesday)

@foxaboxen I feel you and I don’t even live near my aging parent. Except around the holidays.

@marthagimbel You have targeted one of my niches extremely well

These tweets are for @celloshots

Sasheer Zamata asking who’s taking the harmony in “Agatha All Along” because “I’m an alto” is why representation matters

@marthagimbel Correct! And irrelevant!

@celloshots They’re not the same!

Me: “it’s a tax unit, not a family!” Comms:

@marthagimbel For example, The Cocoanuts

Please, please don’t post the Hamilton lyrics. There are other musicals.

@311DCgov @dcfireems The alarm is still going off. Is anyone going to come and inspect it?

@311DCgov the fire alarm at Roosevelt high school has been going off all day. Keeps repeating a message asking people to evacuate.

@marthagimbel Mazel Tov!

When you have a newborn everything feels very surreal...which is just to say that this is a very weird week to have welcomed a new human into the world

@ANCJonah I have wondered that every time I read this one. Extremely ominous.

Just reading my son books before bed and wondering what exactly this babysitter skunk is about to do.

@ckoppelman Oh no I am sorry. It’s why our dog is not allowed to chew sticks, just carry them.

@celloshots This was more prophetic than I expected.

i get why the dog eats every mulberry off the ground. But why the bird poop?

@ckoppelman It provides excellent raw material for future vomiting.

Also I totally understand your need to chew on and chase and carry sticks. But why do you want to eat the wood?

@chrisgeidner Please keep going to NYC

I go to New York City for 72 hours, and Audra announces Gypsy and Trump is found guilty. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

When WAMU laid off 16 people and closed DCist, the reasoning given was “content strategy word salad," per one staffer. @abeaujon cuts through the jargon and nonsense with a deeply reported, excellent look at what actually happened: washingtonian.com/2024/04/19/why…

@itsdlevy Yes specifically that song. I think she sounds gorgeous. It was a shock to me when I first listened that it was Eileen Brennan, whom I knew only as Mrs. Peacock at that point in my adolescence.

@celloshots Even that song? I feel like the album producer committed a crime against Eileen Brennan (and Jerry Herman) in the way that track came out.

I feel like your opinion of the song "Ribbons Down My Back" depends entirely whether you first encountered it on the original cast album (awful) or literally any other recording of the song (beautiful).

I somehow did not know until he died that his actual for real first name was Johann. One more wonderful dumb classical music joke for nerds like me. nytimes.com/2024/01/17/art…
