By setting the cost too high for DoorDash to even respond to its demands, Free DC is giving DoorDash license to ignore the boycott dc.citycast.fm/newsletters/...
"DoorDash can stop supporting a boneheaded bill pretty cheaply. Asking it to antagonize the president is going to cost more" dc.citycast.fm/newsletters/...
— "constantly drawing on previous translators. Fagles also modernizes and Americanizes." You got that from Emily Wilson, right? Do you have any thoughts of your own on the subject or were you just gonna plagiarize the whole book for me?
Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Fagles is constantly drawing on —
That'll last until some time in your second year, then you'll be in here regurgitating Robert Fagles about the cinematic potential of free verse
Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student. You just finished some prose translation, EV Rieu probably, and so naturally that's what you believe until next month when you get to Robert Fitzgerald and get convinced that The Odyssey should be translated in iambic rhythm
The same phone number for the personal injury lawyer in Alexandria is linked to scores of other sites, including the-99-names-of-allah.com and mitchdeathwatch.com
Does anybody know who started the Delete DoorDash campaign? The owner of the domain is redacted, but the address is registered to a personal injury attorney in Alexandria, Virginia... who also owns a site advocating for police surveillance tech in Fairfax County?
Credit to Taco Bell for having both the supply chain expertise and culture of integrity to release a statement on the danger immediately — before the FDA — while the White House was working to manage a PR disaster for Taylor Farms www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
This really makes it sound like if you give $1 million to support Trump you can fudge when your product is linked to an explosive diarrhea outbreak in 34 states www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Somebody rented out the bar at Jaleo for Spain vs Argentina, baller move
The homelessness count only declined in 2025 because cities closed all their emergency migrant shelters in 2024 after Biden shut down the asylum claims. The count was artificially high in 2024, see for example in Chicago www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Today @washingtonian.com asked me to write the questions for its super fun quiz! See if you can beat my score. I was slightly off on the easiest one which is literally shaped like a bullseye washingtonian.com/districted/
As recently as June you can see trucks on the Reflecting Pool, no sign of any damage from Trump's motorcade
Thanks to @paulcle.bsky.social for delivering: Here's a rendering of NCPC's solution to make Trump's triumphal arch "fit" under the Height Act. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I found this distressingly accurate (except for Italy which was MIA for the entire Nick Saban era)
One of the largest if not *the* largest office-residential conversion projects in the US (and likely the world) is at risk of collapsing in NYC: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Uncle Cody comes through with the only message that makes sense at a time like this
The best thing I saw was this fenced-off building-wrapper facade with a bunch of columns lying on the ground about halfway through the run of the fair. A park ranger told me that she leaned on one of these structures and fell through it because the buildings are just fabric wrappers.
MS NOW reporting that the Freedom 250 organizers are finally doing what they should have done from the start: they're putting up big tents www.ms.now/news/trump-j...
This was the last rental they had at Union Station. They ran out of liberal sedans and gave me a Murican pickup. Dog pictured for scale. When I started the ignition the truck registered me for a firearm
I can show you plenty of photos that make it *appear* to be crowded. But I didn't write that it looks crowded. It looks empty. I can't say for a fact how many people were there. But it looks empty! If you read the story — which you didn't — you'd know that "beauty" here isn't facially positive.
