@ellencarmichael If you have sensitive skin, tretinoin a few times a week to start. You can cycle it with OTC retinol on off days to keep up the habit. I moisturize after the tret. And SPF during the daytime is a must.

@BrianBartlett @DoorDash I think DoorDash is down in the NoVA area. We just ordered something and the driver called asking for our address bc the app wasn’t working for them. Then they said they couldn’t deliver our order at all.

Easy, Campania.

You just won the strangest lottery: 8 weeks in Italy every year, for life, fully paid.

One condition. You pick a single region now and can never set foot in another.

Where are you spending forever?

One of the funniest parts about living in DC is all of the ads in the metro clearly targeted at one procurement officer in the Pentagon.

So just so we're clear on things. October 7, 2023 was the largest mass murder of Jews since the holocaust including execution of children and animals and innocent concerts goers. Innocent people were RPG rocket killed in their cars. They were executed in their homes.

Hamas and Hamas adjacent filmed and kidnapped several females and repeatedly sexually assaulted them over and over and over. And then executed them.

There were literal dead baby parades from Hamas. They did the whole foot clan soldier in green headband thing and everything.

And the only time that the New York Times or @NickKristof, a proven serial fabulist took any interest in all of this was so that he could write a story about how the IDF trained rape dogs. Dogs that rape. Rape dogs. Dogs. Dogs that do not give consent.

This was an idea that the New York Times actually said yes let's run with this.

@bethanyshondark Not in tunnels, and outside of tunnels it’s about 70 good/30 spotty in my experience.

Twitter sometimes can suck. But sometimes it helps people realize things like their grandfather liberated a concentration camp and someone else pipes in that *their* grandfather was liberated from that very camp.

There’s a crate and barrel outlet in Alexandria, it’s where I got my couch. My boyfriend is a flopper (he broke the wood frame on our last couch doing this) and 5 years later it’s still holding up great. My husky likes to do zoomies and dig, and the performance fabric is holding up thus far.

I wrote for the @dcexaminer about a fantastic HHS initiative to protect foster kids from states stealing their social security benefits.

For the first time (that I can recall), I wrote about when my benefits were stolen by a relative after my mother died: https://t.co/xvp49F3d2i

FINALLY IN THE WSJ

THIS WAS A CAREER BUCKET LIST

Wondering if @AlexandriaVAGov has a place I can report this activity? It looks like in VA if a person has a sign on their door it’s illegal to so much as knock, never mind repeatedly badgering a resident.

[Candice Greaux @cgreaux]

@Verizon just got a knock on my home door in Alexandria, VA from some sales guys during my work day. I pointed at the “No Soliciting” sign on my door frame and one of the young men said “I’m illiterate” and proceeded to start in on their sales pitch. I interrupted to say the sign was there for a reason, and he asked if I had a minute before I go, and kept on with his pitch. I had to walk in and close the door on them as my dog was barking. EXTREMELY annoying, very bad training for this employee, and much as I do often dislike my current Xfinity service, hearing your employees say they are illiterate while willfully ignoring my repeated requests does NOT inspire consumer confidence in your brand.

Earlier today while visiting my mom in NJ she asked how DC was. I remarked that it was mostly unremarkable. As I walked through Union Station after my train got in, I saw a tall, lean white guy in a Georgetown sweatshirt walk by the national guard troops - half of whom were not white - that were standing in the hall. This really brave young man, in the sweatshirt that his mommy and daddy likely bought him during Parents Weekend, was flipping off the troops.

It occurred to me that that captured the atmosphere in DC right now perfectly. Privileged kids, buoyed by a blanket of economic security provided by their parents, being total shitheads to people that are here to try to make people feel safe to take a train to Union Station again at night.
