@DCShawTea This made me LOL Brian 💙

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

Here’s my full statement: https://t.co/Bs2ZumFXxe

@NickBrownCO @WashProbs @councilofdc Reciprocal *

[Rachel Shank @sunrayshank]

After the terrible accident on Rock Creek Parkway, I have gotten into the habit of taking pictures of drivers that are a menace to society. This one just nearly hit me on North Cap going about 55 in a 25. @WashProbs Not surprised.
@councilofdc can we please do st about this?

[Rachel Shank @sunrayshank]

@NickBrownCO @WashProbs @councilofdc The car is registered and licensed in VA, these tickets are DC moving violations. VA and MD don’t have a receptacle agreement with DC, so this joker can rack up hundreds of thousands of DC tickets and VA doesn’t even know/care to know. So absurd.

Resident opposition isn’t the reason why there’s no Metro station in Georgetown

[Rachel Shank @sunrayshank]

@the_transit_guy Yellow in Georgetown! Their “not” pizza is wonderful!

[Rachel Shank @sunrayshank]

T-Shirt idea for next year: “If we had a dollar for every time someone complained about no metro in Georgetown, we could fund a metro in Georgetown”

In 2010, Lancaster, CA transformed Lancaster Blvd. from a 5 lane road into a tree lined, 2 lane street.

The positive impact was immediate with 50+ new businesses opening and $273mm in new economic activity and w/ reduced speeds, traffic related injuries plummeted.

@alexbpiano @MarkHarrisNYC It’s about a physicist, sure. But it’s also one of the best actors paired with one of the best directors that’s really driving me! (Plus I love the New Mexico setting, but that’s niche)

@GeorgetownMet As a MD resident I’m more than happy to lobby state legislators to un-stall the discussions on reciprocities. Dangerous MD drivers are dangerous in MD and DC. The state boundaries don’t matter.

[Rachel Shank @sunrayshank]

@GeorgetownMet I am fortunate I wasn’t added to the toll of traffic fatalities in 2023. The driver who hit me Jan 18 fled the scene after driving through a red light.

Not only is the city losing revenue, it’s a war zone on the roads right now. It’s terrifying to drive on 25mph streets.

New Mexico could become the first state to have its own official aroma, thanks to a new bill moving through the state legislature https://t.co/9b0fEumyiD

@carlsenlaw @eat_dc @wmata @Metrorailinfo I got them for a Halloween costume in 2019 🤣 (it was for “construction on the redline” w hard hat & DLY sign) they’re surprisingly comfortable.

Literally tried to order from @DoorDash at three different restaurants only to find out at check out that “delivery is currently unavailable for this location” . So frustrating.

@StarleeKine You have my attention! Just added it. Btw I miss Mystery Show. ☀️

Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard is giving away the company. He and his family have transferred all the company’s voting stock into a trust, with the rest of the shares going to a nonprofit.

Here's the letter from Yvon:

A nonprofit called RIP Medical Debt, founded by two ex-debt collectors who used to chase down patients who couldn't afford their bills, buys up unpaid hospital bills from low-income patients — and then clears it

It has wiped out billions in debt so far https://t.co/GoWGQmbF88
