In many ways WMATA is better run than most DC agencies (along with @dcwater.bsky.social ) and in other ways it's run in the same baffling manner, like you have to remember their transit app is called "smartrip" or you can't find it on your phone
We assassinated their head of state on day 0 of the war I am not sure how much room the war had to "expand" from there. As my partner says the problem isn't fuzzy writing, the problem is fuzzy thinking
A major problem in the travel hacking community is that a lot of people don't understand the concept of a community
Taco Bell has the best PR people on the planet. Any way to cross check them against the Epstein flight logs?

This doesn't do justice to how small Damian Lewis can make his mouth
I feel like this is a pretty important caveat(?). If Maine voters are really morally repulsive misogynistic reprobates why has Susan Collins, by all accounts both a woman and adulteress, been their senator for 30 years? There are worse things than being dragged, like losing an election!
Why would Iran undertake this senseless act of unprovoked violence?
The more times "Trump" appears in these communications the less valuable $1,000 appears to me
This is like being told a new character is available in Genji Impact every time I open the app store. It's not offensive it's just bewildering
It's crazy the apple podcast app navigation bar is now 2/3 shit I didn't ask for and 1/3 shit I explicitly asked for. Weird ratio!
