Hey @CareFirst, any plans to improve your website’s performance? Logging on has been an ordeal for a while. Multiple devices, multiple times of day/days of week.

@CareFirst following up, is this a planned service improvement or is the site allowed to be borderline non-functional?

Pretty wild way for today’s @nytimes #TheDaily episode to end: @nickconfessore editorializing on the campus free speech debate, explicitly saying that we should tolerate identity-based, explicit bigotry on campus because “it’s okay to be offended sometimes”

For me, its the condescending lectures from Mendo about how small orgs need not be dependent on the government. Next breath, its “I am making CAH fund these capital projects…but only for the rich property owners.”
Who’s gonna tell him? I tried.
Part of a storied history of the CAH being used by city gov’t as a tool to allocate $$ to the city’s largest arts orgs for capital projects.
Good morning to everyone except folks on @councilofdc who want Home Rule for DC, but don't respect the autonomy of the @TheDCArts to set policy. Instead, they do back room deals to take $ from small arts orgs to fund infrastructure to large (mostly white) orgs. @MotenSpeaks

This week, the Washington Post added “political jet fuel” (in their words) to Republican efforts to restrict trans rights - but why?

Criminalizing poverty never has and never will create community safety... It's really not that complicated.
Instead of spending more $ on MPD/MTPD... why don't we just give it to the people who need it to afford public transit?
"'Decriminalizing fare evasion is a blunt instrument that has not only hurt Metro’s revenue, but has hampered law enforcement’s ability to keep all of us safe on public transportation,' Pinto said."

lots of 'centrists' at legacy news organizations that really can't grasp that they're now right of center, because when they came of age they were left of center, and they've just decided to refuse to accept reality, and keep talking like they're still the median voter
Oh god, blue check accounts replies ALL get shown at the top. I now understand the practicality in blocking anyone with one

Can @IwriteOK @coolzonemedia do an ep of @HappenHerePod where you just go through a bunch of media clips of gen x reporters trying to explain Discord to other gen x reporters
Suggestion: play a drinking game for every time someone says “popular with gamers” ominously
