Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Crystal city metro passageways looking more permanent. Can see the entrance facility on the far side. not looking forward to weekend closures resuming…but I do want the new entrance. do ballston next. @wmata.com @nationallanding.bsky.social but really its Crystal City

@wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social I love these Station Exit labels so much

New holes at Crystal City metro!

My friend just said "Shorter Sotomayor: 'Daniel Webster called you a fucking idiot. Thoughts?'" That's the best description available for what's happening here. :)

wow ok richmond can eat glass next time they don’t want to kick in for metro and nova infrastructure

Another week, a little more stairsy at Crystal City metro station @wmata.com

Crystal city metro closure updates…more stairs appearing.

Lotta folks seem to be all for safety, but not when inconvenience is a possibility

@wdncnu.bsky.social very nice comments at the TPB hearing 👏

Mmm the source of the metro closure. No new-entrance-holes spotted yet.

@wmata.com for the crystal city closures, are the trains running through the station with passengers, not stopping and continuing south of the station, or are they offloading passengers and turning around before Crystal city when it’s closed?

@kirkmcpike.bsky.social @sarahbagley.bsky.social Kirk, good luck in Richmond! If you can, I think y’all should continue the podcast, focus on Alx issues from city and state perspectives. Might be a great pairing!

@barackobama.bsky.social why aren’t you out there making rallies happen? this moment desperately needs leaders to rally action and public opinion

@nytimes.com in the Daily episode about the dismissed Comey/James indictment, y’all presented the arguments that Jack Smith was improperly appointed and Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed as roughly equivalent in their strength and correctness. That true? That the intent?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

@wmata.com idk who the operator is for southbound yellow line rn, but im in car 3155 and i love him.

the confidence of old men to walk barefoot around the gym locker room. what a mindset.

@wmata.com just want to say returning to ATO and autodoors seems like it’s going really well. trains are smooth, doors are quick and trains are speedy leaving the stations. frequencies are great—y’all are crushing it. cc: @wmatagm.bsky.social

this kind of bicycle infrastructure does stuff to me 🤤

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.bsky.social

The fundamental limitation to putting LLMs in charge of everything, and why knowledge-generating centers like universities need to proceed cautiously.

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be. There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/u...

Crystal City underground gives big liminal vibes. @liminalplaces.bsky.social

At least Metro knows what it’s called. Also accepted: her drag name, Monica Lewinsky Intergalactic Spaceport.

I couldn't have said this better.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.
