Hey, YouTuber, don't make your whole personality explaining how anything anyone enjoys is actually bad. That's what Tumblr is for, and nobody goes there for a reason.

I love financial advice like, "by the time you're 30, you should own 3 or 4 rental properties." Bro. When I was 30, I was working 4 jobs, was surviving on ramen noodles & canned ravioli...and ran out of both. My parents weren't rich enough for me to be a "self-made" millionaire.

When the most insufferable person you know is 100% right, you agree with them completely & yet there's little you can do to remedy the situation. Apropos of nothing, trade wars are a stupid thing to get yourself into.

Don't mind me. Just a cool guy about town.

Movies you've watched more than six times, using only GIFs

Lesser scandals sank Alberto Gonzales 20 years ago, and the country has collectively forgotten.

So it is possible to stand up to DOGE. Hm. Don't want to hear any more garbage about letting teens with lanyards steal our data because Elon said so. This is the whole point. They know they don't have the cards and are hoping you'll fold before you find out.

Going For Broke — a fast-paced sitcom roleplaying game about a collective house scrambling to make rent, by yours truly — just launched its crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit! Check it out! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Tourist: Hi, I'm only interested in visiting the most touristy parts of your famously expensive city. So, where can I take a large family to eat for cheap in that area, that isn't touristy?

When you've been sounding the alarm about something for 20 years & folks have told you "nah, it isn't that bad/nah, it won't get that bad," but it keeps getting "that bad" and worse & you get louder & people still ignore you & say, "don't be such a downer," it doesn't feel great.

You asked, we made it: get the first anti-Cuomo merch of this election season. shop.dreamfornyc.com All proceeds fund the "Don't Rank Eric or Andrew for Mayor" campaign.

Don't rank Cuomo!

Folks, imma need you to be kind to TTRPG and board game producers trying to fulfill Kickstarters this year. Production inflation, shipping inflation, AND tariffs are perfect storming hell for their physical products. It's going to be a mess. People will have to ask for extra money. Be mindful.

I think I should start a real estate photography business. Because if there's one thing I've learned from window-shopping houses & apartments, it's that people are terrible at taking pictures of properties. Like, really, really bad.

"How's the book coming along?" ...

Reports of ICE raids, with at least one person detained, in Northern Virginia. Knowing your rights, and those of your neighbors, is crucial. Among them: check for a warrant signed by a judge and don't talk without a lawyer. Read more from experts on immigration law here:

"Cities are a collective project, requiring public investment to succeed, and that’s one reason why, historically, their citizenry hasn’t formed the base of the Republican Party."

Corrupt? Sure. But also directly dangerous? And how! FAA has done careful, long testing /study of new tower-communication system. Now a rush to switch to system that *just happens* to be owned by Mr. Efficiency himself, Elon. (Has he even been to an ATC facility? Probably like Vance re Ukraine)

Hmm. Is this something?

Post a picture of you that’s not actually a picture of you

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

In our latest Arts and Eats, contributor @bgexploredc.bsky.social visits Elmina, celebrity chef Eric Adjepong's new venture that brings Ghana's beachfront cuisine to D.C.

"Since 2020, Gottheimer has only gotten worse, becoming an obnoxious crusader against Manhattan’s congestion pricing program..."

Checked in on Andrew Fine, a litigant in the Manhattan residents' suit against congestion pricing. His argument is that traffic went down because it was cold this winter. Andrew is impervious to evidence, so I wonder how he'll explain away nearly a billion dollars in increased retail sales.

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

The best thing New Yorkers can do to say F you to Trump is ensure that neither Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo are mayor in Jan 2026.

The news media, including the times, will relentlessly cheerlead Cuomo as their last best hope to prevent another progressive from running New York City, after their previous choice Eric Adams has completely flamed out.

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.
Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks 
The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available." www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/...

Whenever a game company I like announces a big new product and I'm not really that interested...

Congestion pricing works.

Holy shit, Bernie. No. No you can't have one single f'ing cent from me.

The circle of life: "Hey, anyone interested in getting together for a TTRPG?" "I am." "Me." "Absolutely." "Cool. When are you free?" ... ... ... "Hello...?"

Having a tough time right now? Same. But for her latest Ask A D.C. Native, @christurdisani.bsky.social shares what she's hopeful for. It might inspire you to find some hope of your own.
