DC Ward 4. Mostly here for the golf commentary. Save East Potomac.

[Jose @GuardsBurner_]

I will have more to say, but for now this is my prevailing thought:

For years, the Guardians have been carried by Jose Ramirez. He has been asked to do everything. To carry terrible rosters to the playoffs and then carry them even further.

It's poetic that in an injury-riddled down year, his teammates picked him up and got Cleveland to the playoffs while he struggled.

And with their backs against the wall, he returned the favor in three straight elimination games, capped off by his home run being the only score in a historic Game 5 victory.

An all-time moment for our GOAT.

José Ramírez is one of the best players of his generation. Not a lot of guys who can take a 100-mph top-rail fastball out of the yard. Guardians are ahead in a must-win game, 3-2.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Cutting parking fines as an anti-inflation policy is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard but it's in keeping with the Council left bloc's relentless prioritization of the interests of people who break rules over the interests of people who follow them.

@StacyCloyd @311DCgov @DC_OCA @DCDPW @charlesallen @BrianneKNadeau @Janeese4DC @DCAttorneyGen Blue plains is full? Easy solution - crush more cars

[Jordan Weissmann @JHWeissmann]

DC is entering a really bad cycle where regulations and a lack of law enforcement are killing nightlife and commercial corridors, and the city is responding by trying to throw some token subsidy money at the problem

Murder is legal as long as you use a car and don’t flee the scene

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@TheDMVLive “All 3 suspects were on a @limebike “. Shocker. @charlesallen

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@JHWeissmann Yes and her replacement is going to be so much worse on this stuff

[Tom Lee @tjl]

Do we really have to do this for everything the government does? Our taxes are progressive. We subsidize transit. We subsidize micromobility. We subsidize ebikes. The city does not owe anyone an illegal parking space

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@ajlamesa This is more or less the situation at CVS, Safeway, Target and any number of DC retail establishments.

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@wmata Appreciate the reply. Surely MTPD is aware. It’s a regular occurrence. It’s basically Hamsterdam over there.

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

Hit the Georgia Ave @wmata stop for first time in a while. It’s too bad that despite all the system improvements over the last few years, @wmataGM and team can’t figure out how to stop the group of regulars from pissing all over the ground and dealing drugs at the entrance.

[Arpit Gupta @arpitrage]

One interesting thing about DC is they still have scooters everywhere, which went away in other cities after the pandemic.

But they are a menace on sidewalks! Give them 15 mph on streets and eliminate next to pedestrians

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@GuillermoMena @maustermuhle @DDOTDC This right here. Hell, go to 20 mph on streets, but give us Singapore-style enforcement on sidewalks.

[Cabot Montana @AmanitaFugax]

Every car with a blacked out plate cover should get impounded without warning

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@oucmecalling311 @DDOTDC @limebike Perhaps a reasonable starting point would be for @limebike to actually carry out policy of not renting to children

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@RiniSampath Can’t imagine JLG takes this approach given her record on the council. Happy to be proven wrong.

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

The one and only East Potomac Golf Links

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@mnolangray @JHWeissmann Guarantee the e-scooters were @limebike

[Adam Tarr @Tarrradam]

@DCCarViolence Absolutely pathetic
