Hey @DCPoliceDept @dcfireems @MayorBowser can you please tell us a little bit more about this bomb going off in our city?

As fun as they used to be, I often skipped them when coming up in search results. The forums seemed to be infested with people farming points to level up instead of focusing on providing actually useful information.

I'll miss them, but the version of them from years ago when real people were getting/providing real help.

Zachary Parker spammed DC residents on X this morning to explain why it's better to obstruct legislation by introducing unnecessary delays in order to kill the possibility of bringing autonomous vehicles to DC.

@ZacharyforWard5 doesn't care about what the people of DC want, which is clear as he parrots labor union talking points and helps them carry the goal posts further down the field so that they can find new things to feign concern about.

Why are we electing councilmembers that are condescending when challenged and are desperate to use the "McConnell Rule" to avoid doing the work of the people during a lame duck mayoral session?

Maybe we'll be able to replace councilmembers controlled by unions with autonomous robots, too, since they also only know how to follow someone else's set of instructions.

[Zachary Parker @ZacharyforWard5]

The pressure campaign to authorize autonomous vehicles in DC is in full swing.

Big Tech and its allies spammed Ward 5 neighbors yesterday to pressure me to vote yes.

There are still concerns that must be addressed, and we need time.

In this thread, CM Parker explains that everything he asked for is in DC’s Waymo bill, but he is still opposed—sounds like he’s hoping the firefighters union will give him a new excuse to vote no.

@ZacharyforWard5 @KevinPDonohue "That's a talking point."

As if you haven't been blabbing the talking points of the labor unions all morning.

@ZacharyforWard5 @KevinPDonohue Meanwhile, here's yet another example of human drivers interacting with first responders.

@LChenlz You’re only checking once every morning?!

[Michael @singletary]

@ZacharyforWard5 This feels like punting congressional confirmations because the next administration should have a say, which is a way to kill something without saying you want to kill it.

Be better.

[Michael @singletary]

this seems not great

@mikepat711 @SawyerMerritt It’s a bit ridiculous that you have to think about “what if they completely change my plan in the middle of my yearly agreement.”

[Michael @singletary]

@SawyerMerritt @mikepat711 Such a brutal nerfing. Hope nobody paid yearly before their usage was slashed.

Apple needs to bring this new “Adaptive Dark Mode” for websites in Safari on iOS 27.3 to the Mail app, like @gmail has done.

Most emails don’t have dark backgrounds, so they shine bright in Mail in the dark with the rest of the OS in dark mode. Not Gmail, though. They replace this blank white space with a slate-like black instead, making it much nicer to read at night.

Gmail’s implementation isn’t perfect. Some sections of HTML emails can be hard to read depending on the formatting, but this seems like an issue with the implementation that Apple can fix.
