@KyleEganDC@eat_dc@WBJonline And roughly on the other side of the building Tap 99 just closed, and Chicken & Whiskey closed in January. Rough times for businesses near the stadium
@saiqumazaq@Boxy_FT Please correct me if wrong but didn’t Basileus later refer to the Byzantine emperors once Greek was the official language? So it either changed meanings over time or was just a catch-all term for ruler
@jrod_62@BrettKollmann wasn’t sure where to dump this story, kinda tangential, but a former big defensive cowboys player who coached me growing up in flag told me to stay in flag as long as possible because it develops the fundamentals, while tackle they just teach you how to tackle a person fwiw
@curs3li4ted@blockhim2026 on the contrary I live in Navy Yard and it’s absolutely fine. probably other places that are better, cooler, more “DC”, but it’s still been a cool place to live for some time!
@StatisticUrban I’m sure there are some but idk who would take an absolutist stance on cultural relativity
“They should knock it off” is exactly the issue: who is they? thanks to centuries of colonialism, interventions on cultural practices can just harden the stance, or drive it underground
