I'm a musician, artist, and photographer from the DC ‘burbs. The dayjob at the non-profit downtown is less exciting, but far more important. #resist

failing to lock Donald Trump up because you're afraid of the chaos that would happen if you did is LITERALLY how fascism works

@GuliKitDesign I've had my Edge for about two months, and my right stick is already drifting. Rather than starting what will clearly be an endless cycle of periodically buying replacement modules from Sony, I would much prefer to go Hall effect and never look back.

@GuliKitDesign, WHEN? :D

I’ve never gotten an Amber Alert on a crowded #Metro train car before.

Watching 40+ people on morning autopilot suddenly startle from balefully staring into the middle distance, and start a furious mad scramble to silence their contribution to the cacophony?

Very entertaining.

Pretty sure France has an extradition treaty with the U.S. He’s gonna have run a lot further than that…

@SnapStream Trump: "I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or the south of France, which I would prefer to being in this country frankly."

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

@wmata Having seen enough teens easily vault over the old style, I get why you went with the taller ones, but for those of us more on the giant side of humanity, it’s an awkward, very tight squeeze up top.

It also made a very angry beep at me when my right shoulder made contact! 😂

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

Okay, @wmata, can I just say I hate the new fare gates? Legs, hips, mid-section fit through just fine, but my chest and shoulders DO NOT. I had to turn sideways and do an awkward sidestep (after discovering the hard way I wasn’t going to just be able to make it). Not a fan.

@RockstarSupport having issue managing crews on social club...your branching tree ticketing system is useless, as there are no relevant options. We cannot manage crew ranks on Social Club. Need to demote a member to a lower tier of admin, and that option is not showing. Thanks

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

Seriously? We’re still doing catalytic converters thefts? FML. Ironically, I was on my way just now to get my emissions inspection done as required to renew my tags when I found some reprobate got under my car last night. Sigh.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

@oneclassycoder @Gerashchenko_en Plenty of polonium tea to go around, though.

THIS IS WHO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS!!!
This is what we're fighting against — a mob boss and is criminal empire.

To use the words of Adam Schiff:
"We must say enough — enough! He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again. He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again. You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What's right matters even less, and decency matters not at all."

@AlmightyCF1 @RockstarGames Seems to be the case. Was unable to load back in just now after finishing the last paper trail mission.

Buddy I was playing with had issues at first, but was just able to load in.

Probably some CDN nonsense…

I can scroll through several pages of these obvious bot account follows just from the last day.

Hello @[firstName][lastName][randomNumber], nice to make your acquaintance.

I really hope #advertisers aren’t basing their spending on Twitter’s reported numbers…

BREAKING: The April Jobs Report is out!

- The Unemployment rate is at 3.4%
- The Unemployment rate is the lowest in 50 years
- The Unemployment rate under Trump never reached this level.
- The Black Unemployment rate is 4.7%
- The Black Unemployment rate is the lowest EVER
- 253,000 Jobs were added last month.

The US economy is one of the STRONGEST on the planet right now.

Yes, inflation is still high.
Yes, some people are still struggling.
Yes, oil prices are too high.
Yes, our national debt is an embarrassment.

But overall we are doing pretty darn well compared to others.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

Just the first page of a list of 14 locations under 10 miles from me (with many, many more just beyond that).

It’s ridiculous to have both of us lose money to the criminal Doordash cartel when y’all already employ your own drivers!

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

Hey, @pizzahut please help! The closest store to me closed many years ago, but due to a glitch in the matrix, no other location (the nearest only 2.6 miles away) will deliver here, as I’ve been told your system shows my address still in the (non-existent) store’s delivery zone.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

This. RomComs have lied to you. Persistence doesn’t get the girl—it just makes you creepy.

[AskAubry 🦋 🐆🦝 @ask_aubry]

We need more of this.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

@bennettpeer @altNOAA There’s no tactical reason to take any of those out aside from DC, and plenty of strategic reasons to keep them intact should they want to pick over the pieces.

First strike would be long-range bomber air bases, all missile silos, naval bases, and our aircraft carriers.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

@wmata I forgot to add, it was headed toward Franconia.

[Jamie Rasmussen @JamieBloviates]

Blue line train just rolled through, only you wouldn’t know it, as front board was blank and sideboards said “no passengers”

Mentioned it to the driver when he stuck his head out and he said “I know, it’s stuck.”

Coworker just said the same train came through yesterday. #wmata
