I just invoked Jon Snow, Aragorn and Winston Churchill in a talk about beer in case you're wondering how I feel re: fall seasonals in August

This is such a poorly run program. The goal should be to build a fanbase, not fleece them after a decade of mediocrity (and that's being generous).

This is the thing. Washingtonians should be genuinely outraged by the refusal of our political leaders to distance themselves from this guy. The facts of his corruption trial are not in dispute. He took bags of cash and corrupted the programs they all support.
This is my exact position. Just say no to the clipboards!
I voted no on I-86 because I vote no on all ballot initiatives since it’s a terrible way to govern.
But I get sense from dumb comments that a lot of folks think DC government comes up with these - nope at least 5% of DC voters (24k) sign a petition to get it on ballot

The number of penalties this Cowboys team commits, especially on defense…how do you justify keeping this coaching staff intact?

The next time we're dealing with an ice storm or a streak of 95 heat/75 dew point, I'm just going to remember the time in October 2026 where DC had like 10 straight days of 60-70 and clear. Fall weather so beautiful I feel guilty every minute I'm not walking in Rock Creek Park

My most politically unpopular take is that we are nowhere near harsh enough on car crimes.
Making income-scalable fines for speeding treats it like a low-stakes, broken-windows issue, rather than what it is: Reckless operation of a one-ton piece of metal that can take lives.
There's been a flurry of talk this month in the D.C. Council about whether parking and traffic fines should be reduced. But the reality is that making tickets cheaper for drivers will be costly for the city, and that could complicate any real action: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc-r…

A plan to spruce up East Potomac while keeping it affordable had been in place for years; the contract was granted during Trump’s first term! He’s blown that up, and what he’s now doing is much more opaque. There’s no certainty that the end result will be affordable.
