@DCdotNerd How do you pronounce Vegz?

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@Klonick @Popehat There is (or was) a DC Indian restaurant that had toilets like that for years.

The Yelp photo for Masala Art restaurant in Friendship Heights is its infamous twin toilets.

@olieolie @jsmolenski @FreeStateKaren @KFILE Possibly, but if the additional qualifications were challenged in court they'd likely be found unconstitutional for the same reason state term limits on federal offices were. The Supreme Court has said new qualifications can't be added without amending the US Constitution.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@jsmolenski @FreeStateKaren @KFILE Kristof was running for governor, a state office. US senator is a federal office, so the requirements are set in the US Constitution and are the same for every state.

@PLKDC @marinastrez Aside from all the other idiocy, what does he think "prole" means (in the followup tweet)?

@jbhenchman @wmataGM When they change the name to Downtown Largo it'll make things unintentionally better there but much worse toward the other end of the line.

@owillis Except if their pension fund was invested in it.

@PirateQueenKate I wish the Ashburn breweries were closer to the station.

@ScottGoldstein It's bad right now, especially today because of the new influx of users, but so was Twitter in the early days. And Jesse's experience there is not typical. We'll see how things evolve. It's the closest thing available.

@jamisonfoser If this is true, which I doubt, he's trolling the media.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@timkrepp You have to be truly hardcore.

@LhasaCM @MrTinDC @infinitebuffalo @thisisbossi @gwh I guess the problem I was remembering is that to see all of someone's followers and followings you have to go to their server, and then when you click on one of those people to follow them it won't work. But I don't think the app really solves that either.

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

Interesting: Back in '92 then-Ward 1 councilmember Frank Smith introduced a bill to allow non-citizen legal residents vote in D.C. elections. The council recently passed a bill to that effect (and to let undocumented residents vote), but I didn't know the idea went that far back.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@MrTinDC @infinitebuffalo @thisisbossi @gwh It seems to be easier with an app. I'm using Tusky. I still have to search with their address and then click on them, but then there is a functional follow button regardless of what server they're on.

@jesserbnwtz I'm on https://t.co/xB1Jn0c6Hh, but I think other big ones are probably similar. And I don't know that being on a big one is better. It just sounds like maybe you hit on a bad one where whoever's running it may be overwhelmed or something.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

This is true, but I think it was harder for nonprofit things like Wikipedia to get started by the time Twitter came along, and it's even harder nowadays. Everything has to be about extracting as much profit as possible.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@jesserbnwtz I signed up on a big one. Still figuring things out.

[Keith Ivey @kcivey]

@jesserbnwtz It could be, depending on what the server is and what you're looking for. I don't have any experience with restricted servers like that though.
