Glad that the Hiraya space on H St isn't staying dark: "...he plans to transform Hiraya’s downstairs cafe into a dual destination for wagyu smash burgers, loaded fries, and chopped cheese (Double Up) and bubble teas (Auntea Boba). Look for breakfast burritos and coffee drinks in the morning."

“CarPlay Ultra… feels more like applying an iOS-styled WinAmp skin to the speedometer.” Maybe my opinion will change if/when I see it IRL, but right, I totally share this first impression of the “new” CarPlay.

This is an excellent explainer of why "just lower the rent" isn't always possible for filling vacancies in commercial real estate: postsuburban.substack.com/p/why-do-com...

Mentioned in passing in this article about Alero opening at The 202 in NoMa is that they're also, allegedly, taking over Kitchen Cray space on H Street. (Deep link for DCPL card holders: www-bizjournals-com.dclibrary.idm.oclc.org/washington/n...) @popville.bsky.social

"But Instagram [has] effectively become three different Twitters: Instagram Stories for the people you know, the grid for people you used to know (and their weddings and babies), and Reels for probing the profoundly upsetting psychic void at the heart of our country." @garbageday.email is the best.

My kiddo has been regularly asking to watch cat videos on Instagram lately. I think Instagram has noticed. …Not mad at it.

Indigo has added a 15% service charge… but it replaces all expectation of tip (“additional tipping is not expected or encouraged”). If you’re going to do a service fee, this is the way to do it! @popville.bsky.social

Enraging. Infuriating. If Senate Dems don't block this—and I doubt they will—this is going to fuck over the 700,000 of us who live in the nation's capital for no reason at all. It doesn't even save any federal dollars!

Ah, this this this! Search in Settings is probably the most obnoxiously frustrating piece of iOS, mainly because it could easily be made so much better.

Can someone explain to me how the former Union Station leaseholder—who lost their lease to their lender through foreclosure—has any standing to stop the eminent domain settlement between the lender and Amtrak? Is this just throwing spaghetti at the wall or is there something to this?

"You know what? At least he is doing something. It may kill a lot of people. It may leave others without homes or jobs. But I respect a man of action, regardless of what that action is and whether or not it’s going to make things better or worse."

Why don’t the Democrats designate a primary spokesperson (not necessarily a current politician) to be front and center in responding to the current admin’s actions? Musk has proven that giving off main character energy can hijack every media cycle… where’s the main character for the opposition?

Barnes & Noble is coming back to downtown DC! I love my local independent bookstores, but the resurgence of B&N points to a future of a growing book market—hopefully a rising tide lifts all ships.
