So I’ve never watched a @Dodgers victory parade before…do the fans come in late and leave before the end like they do with the games or…?

Silk’s #Smackoff call reminds me of when I facetime my parents at the holidays and they just walk around hand the phone off to all the cousins…

Always good to see other museums and fellow historians joining the good fight. #SolidarityForever #UnionStrong
We congratulate the workers at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for forming a union through @AFSCMECouncil36.

Kind of disappointed that @PokemonTCG didn’t release a Trick or Trade set for Halloween this year. Luckily we have some extra packs from the last few years so we still get to be “the house with the full-size candy bars and pokemon cards” in the neighborhood.

My wife and I cancelled our season membership and went to Signature Theater in Shirington instead. The show selection there this year has honestly been better than Ken Cen’s.
Exclusive: Nearly nine months after President Trump took over the Kennedy Center, sales for orchestra, theater and dance performances are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

We got e-scooter dyno testing before we got GTA6…
A video from the Zurich city police shows a confiscated e-scooter being tested. An officer accelerates: first 44 km/h (27 mph), then 61 km/h (38 mph). Eventually it reaches a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph). So much for the idea of a ‘harmless city vehicle.’

Not since @cartoonnetwork interviewed @JoeMantegna for The Big Game thinking it was Joe Montana have I seen a mixup like this.

The head of the Assyrian Church of the East “accidentally” gave Pope Leo XIV a Cubs jersey, and he doesn’t look happy about it.

Shutdown day 25: Anyone checked on @OrianaBeLike? She hasn’t posted a shutdown update today and if this stretches into tomorrow we might need to send a search party out…

If you live/work in NoMa, you may have seen a new hot dog stand at 1st and M NE. The guy running it is Isaac Stein, an IRS lawyer who’s been furloughed since Oct 8. The government shutdown has unexpectedly given him time to pursue a passion project long in the works.

Day 24 of the shutdown: For the first time in my career I’ve missed a paycheck. It’s not all doom and gloom though. Friday means swim class with my daughter and I’ll take any excuse I can to get into a heated pool.

My phone keeps trying to type "shitdown" instead of "shutdown" and at Day 24 I am wondering if it is time to just let it ride.

ALERT; As shutdown and Congressional standoff persist … note this statement from head of Capitol Police union: “My officers are frustrated right now. This is the second pay period where they will not be paid, and they are really feeling the financial pressure. I have officers
