“Salt Lake City has a cycling problem,” Jason Lane writes in an op-ed. “Not with its cyclists, but with how it treats them.” sltrib.com/opinion/commentar…

Y’all, not to be a huge nerd but for the reflecting pool you would need a minimum of about 8,000 liters of 12% hydrogen peroxide to reach the 50 parts per million concentration to kill algae… Is this what happens when you have 0 scientists in your administration?
They're literally dumping hydrogen peroxide into the reflecting pool this morning... 😳

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. As you can see on our right side, a Virgin A340 is challenging us to a race. I've turned the fasten seat belt sign ON because it's about to get real! Buckle Up😁

I'm really tired of how much credit Chicago gets for dying the Chicago River green for Saint Patrick's Day, when President Trump has done the same thing for America's 250th Anniversary with zero fanfare.

It’s simple - for these operatives and others - DC is only a stage, or a phase, not a home.
Replying to @maustermuhle
And in a tragic irony, national Democratic types who make their living trying to inform voters across the country about what's happening in Washington are themselves self-admitted uninformed voters on D.C.'s local races. One big reason: the destruction of WaPo's Metro section.

Transportation advocates face a clear choice: a mayor who can be a partner in building safer streets, or one who may force us to fight for every inch of progress (Mcduffie). If you care about safer streets, reliable transit, and a more sustainable DC, vote for @Janeese4DC

As we head into Election Day, I leave you w/ some final thoughts. I ran to continue the work I left uncompleted 4 yrs ago, and I'm ready for what comes next. Tomorrow, I ask that you remember my track record and my passion for making lives better for all DC residents.

Algae--check. Mosquitos--check. Lightning and rain--check. All that's missing are the birthday locusts.

The safer a car feels to the operator, the safer the operator feels driving dangerously. People are killed every day in cars that have high safety ratings. The problem isn't the machine, it's the operator.

It's the least I can do. Which is what I've been doing.
UFC Freedom 250 is facing a chaotic weather setup on the White House South Lawn, with a 60% chance of thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and wind gusts up to 34 mph threatening to delay the outdoor fights. On top of the storm risk, brutal D.C. humidity is driving a triple-digit heat index alongside massive swarms of mosquitos and gnats that fighters will have to battle inside the cage. While the venue’s massive 92-foot overhang will keep the octagon dry, a single lightning strike within eight miles will trigger an automatic 30-minute freeze on the entire event.

Hitler killed himself and Germany surrendered. Japan got nuked. Do they teach history in Ohio?
JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

How far is FIFA going with its brand restrictions? The condiments at the Levi’s Stadium press box have all been taped over 😆
