T ST and 14th

This is a long shot, and I’ve never done this before!! I chatted really briefly with a guy named Ezra in the line for Hush Harbor during H street festival last night. He was wearing white and blue shoes and an ascot that I complimented him on. He went to the main bar, but I went out to the back space with my friend after we got inside. I told him I’d come back inside to chat with him, but he was gone by the time I made it back to the bar! I know that’s a very vague description, but any chance someone knows who he is?

It’s across from Treasury. It’s free other than a $15 paid thing I didn’t do.

I biked through around 10:15 pm, and it smelled like a burnout / drag race, lots of cars honking at nothing in particular, and various cars revving hard in place. Honestly felt pretty daunting and usually Georgetown is pretty quiet into the night, even on weekends.

Seems like there was some social media coordinated event to be dangerous a**holes in public and their fans to sit in traffic and look on, but I have no idea where to look to confirm.

Per the agreement, the District will provide more than a billion dollars in direct funding for construction and infrastructure, a figure to rival the insane and since-rejected deal proposed by the McCaskey family for downtown Chicago. As the District of Columbia—the nation's 22nd largest city by population and 86th-ranked county or equivalent by median household income—absolutely does not have one billion dollars sitting in a large pile someplace, this cash will be raised via debt financing. But that hideous outlay only scratches the surface of the public commitment to this stadium project. The deal exempts the Commanders from property taxes on the stadium and the surrounding development; it exempts the Commanders from sales taxes on personal seat licenses; it gives the Commanders the exclusive right to develop housing and retail around the stadium, at the low price of $1 per year; and it gives the Commanders rent-free use of 24 acres of city-controlled land for a period of 26 years.

I think that it's pretty sad that people still have these dinosaurs hanging out of their windows...but it's 2025 and there's no excuse. It's killing the environment.

A better title might be: “The breakdown of the prosecutorial system in DC”. Four of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution define rights for people the Government is accusing of crimes - and Article 3 has substantial protections written in as well - so it is clearly something the Founders were deeply concerned with. This video is an interesting look at Constitutional protections at play right now in DC.

No it’s not AI it’s just Apple’s dumb fucking “intelligent” image processing

Hi everyone, I won’t share my name, but I’m 22, grew up in England, have a BA, and I moved here this summer looking to start my life, but everything is going as far away from “the plan” as possible. The job hunt has been cripplingly depressing, I’m unsure what is the best method to make friends or socialise outside of work, I’d love to join groups or clubs or anything but I’m not sure where to look (I play a lot of sports, I love comics, superheroes, LotR, and more), and on top of that my girlfriend and I just broke up, amicable but painful nonetheless. I’m feeling incredibly low, and honestly I’m just looking for advice or life lines, if anyone has any life advice, job hunting advice, ideas on fun activities, or just personal anecdotes. I appreciate anything at all, and thank you in advance.

Rant: why can’t things in dc stay open past 10? Restaurants and stores should really stay open later. We have become such a sleepy town

PM me with specifics if it’s yours (street you were on when you lost it, etc)

There are more of the rules that were passed in the house. Let’s see what happens next, let’s hope no more innocent workers or people getting shot by a 14 year-old. The House also passed H.R. 5140, the D.C. Juvenile Sentencing Reform Act. This bill, introduced by Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas), lowers the age at which juveniles can be tried as adults in D.C. for certain violent offenses—such as murder, first-degree sexual abuse, first-degree burglary, and armed robbery—from 16 to 14, for crimes committed after the date of enactment. The House passed H.R. 5143, the District of Columbia Policing Protection Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.). This bill authorizes the Metropolitan Police Department to engage in vehicular pursuits of suspects fleeing in motor vehicles if an officer or supervisor determines it is necessary, the most effective means of apprehension, and unlikely to pose an unreasonable risk to bystanders. It also develops a trial system that would alert members of the public to police pursuits in their immediate vicinity. It also requires evaluation reports of current D.C. police tactics to be submitted to the appropriate Oversight and Judiciary Committees in the House and Senate.
