Saved a late season bee that had wandered into the house. Feels melancholy, man

I had no idea that Helen Branswell was ill. I'm deeply saddened to hear of her passing. When I became CDC director, a very astute member of the CDC press office told me that I wasn't ready for a briefing unless I was ready for questions from Helen Branswell.

10th place in our trivia league’s finals, worth the long wet drive out to Brunswick MD

@bikeshare.bsky.social constantly disappointed by the lack of ebikes at Braddock road

Here's the thing about statistics: there are statistics you do BEFORE you have information and statistics you do AFTER you have information.

The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.

Harpsichord music can be fun in short pieces, but when something starts pushing the 4m mark you and your ears begin to understand why people heard the piano and were like, "That's much better, I don't care how heavy it is."

40 years old 2 days ago. This may be my favourite record ever, it’s certainly in the conversation

In Bogotá, and surprised by the provincial English feel of some of the buildings around here. I think it’s the brick.

Do the Swiss say a little prayer or is it predestined

Now get another one, Norway

Every game I put out gets "1" ratings on BGG before it is for sale. For funsies I'm gonna track the 1s on WS Pocket in real time. What are these people up to, who feel so strongly about a game they haven't even played? Game details were announced yesterday, and the first "1" is up. LET'S GO! 🧵

I thought I was doing a small story on confusion over the sudden disappearance of water fountains on a popular South Mississippi biking and running trail. What I found was a bigger story about homelessness, the meaning people find in the things they love, public infrastructure and civic engagement.

2/3 one of the delights of larger Church of Scotland churches is that they so often have good collections of 20th Century glass (ironically, it's because stained glass was largely frowned upon until the late 19th Century). Douglas Strachan's war memorial window, 1922 in St Machar's, Aberdeen.

New Zealand should just have kept on doing what they were doing

As Irvine Welsh writes; "It's the hope that kills you". Doughty defence, but hee-haw in attack. Who have we got next? Oh, Jesus!

True elegance in the kill: blue heron vs. baby alligator. An incredible photograph by Matthew Blake.

I simply don't know what to do with how great the new Arab Strap single is. If it was a person, I'd want to stand near it and occasionally rest my head on its shoulder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VeB...

DC friends, they've started up checkpoints again. There's a checkpoint at Rhode Island Ave NE and South Dakota Ave NE. And fuck ICE.

Looks like my judgement last year that school board service was disqualifying for further office was the correct one.

Delighted to see this place still around, it was a regular haunt of mine more than 40 years ago

Great news!

Someone has parked a mid-nineties Honda Accord on my street and it has “classic car” plates. It seems premature

Flyering in Berkeley

Nice warm afternoon on Sunday as we try to save a vital transportation link

Readinge complex textes not for ynformacioun but for understandinge, writinge nuanced argumentes, reasoninge criticallye and also beinge critical of reasoninge when needid -- these are the vital technologyes taught by humanityes disciplines lyke literarye studyes, historye, and philosophye.

I kinda love how our induction cooker sounds like Star Trek (original series) sometimes

Forecast is decent for Friday afternoon, I encourage everyone to attend

It’s impossible to understate how important the 15th St bike lanes are to DC’s connected network, and they’re used by hundreds of people every day, commuters and tourists. This will be an enormous step back if it happens, and I encourage everyone affected to make a huge fuss

Olympic curling

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Ted Leonsis in not just a bad team owner shock

I don't have Washington Post money. But I do have a local news outlet and a belief that local sports journalism matters. If you're a WaPo sports writer looking at what's next, let's talk. Maybe we can figure something out together. DMs open.
