There’s a 4 minute Affleck cut of the Dunkin commercial
It’s glorious. Oscar-bait.

This song was immediately great when it came out and it’s still just as great all these years later. What a fantastic 5 minutes. teapawt.org/RealBrittain/status/17…

After years of concrete measures to improve cycling—and discourage driving—cyclists now outnumber motorists on London’s streets.
Since 1999, cycling has spiked 386% and driving fallen 64%; with cyclists representing 40% of surface traffic—including pedestrians—during peak hours. – at London, England

London’s cycleways now see an astonishing 1.3 million trips each day; a third of the Underground (for a fraction of the investment).
With half of its ten million residents regularly cycling or wanting to start, a long-term shift in policy has clearly induced a shift in behavior. – at London, England

Hey @MayorBowser and @DDOTDC - it's almost as if Conn Ave needs a safety plan. If only one was ready to go and had been worked on for 5 years? This is crash at least 307 north of Calvert since 12/15/21 when the Mayor announced her choice of Concept C.

On this day, 224 years ago, George Washington--having helped win American independence, set up a well- functioning government, and established the tradition of the peaceful transfer of presidential power--dies.
His last words: "'Tis well."
Yeah but bike lanes are the real problem, right?

Going through my inbox as I return from a brief vacation: can't say I had it on my bingo card to find a letter from the D.C. Police Union to @CMFrumin opposing the bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue arguing they "may inadvertently compromise public safety."

It is amazing to listen to @politicshour, because @ChmnMendelson, who is 2nd highest DC elected, says he has no power to do anything. It's infuriating, but then again, his supporters @FedCityCouncil, @AOBAMetro, @RAMWdc & @DFER_DC campaign against CMs who hold DC gov accountable.

Wonderful news that 4 yr old Avigail Idan, an American-Israeli, was part of today's hostage release. But even as she escapes captivity, it's heartbreaking to think of how this poor little girl ever escapes the trauma of watching her parents murdered & their loss.
