Algae cleanup at the Reflecting Pool this morning. Interior Dept says it’s "residual algae from the supply lines which have been sitting dormant for 8 weeks. It’s part of the normal startup process. We are removing the algae, and the nanobubblers will maintain the pool and keep it algae free.”

Always happy to get the ‘all clear’ after being diagnosed w stage 4 #lungcancer in 11/2022. One pill a day targeted therapy, lobectomy and aggressive CT scans, brain MRIs, and liquid biopsies has kept me cancer-free since 5/2023. #lungcancer #lcsm

My favorite part of the @nbcwashington promo on @wtop is when @JummyNBC says she trusts @melissamollet more than her GPS and @TonyPerkinsFMTV says “oh, yeah.”

Do you just criticize everything a reporter says? Not sure there was anything in this pair of tweets that constitute bitching. I think most people know @WTOP as straight shooters.
These little media cucks find the most asinine things to bitch about.
