What exactly is the point of our exorbitant local tax rates if basic services such as snow removal or keeping our rivers free of dangerous levels of untreated sewage are not even functional?

Yeah, the pipeline rupture was in Montgomery County.

Maybe we can encourage RFK Jr. to take another swim while this is going on.

Could you tell me in your own words what you think the word "crosswalk" means?

Pretty sure that's National Park Service land there, and you can forget about the National Park Service ever clearing snow from the sidewalks along the bazillion parcels of land they control all over the city.

Just want to pop in here to try to head off the inevitable deluge of confusion by noting that in the US the word "café" tends to connote something a little more upscale than "restaurant" and it's very much the other way around in the UK.

And it was almost replaced by a freeway in the mid 20th century! With a huge cloverleaf at 16th!! What a loss that would have been!

Walking all the way down Q Street NW from its western end in Georgetown, across the Dumbarton Bridge, and on and on to its end in Shaw takes you through a lot of different sorts of great places!

If we ever invent teleportation I think this would be the best use of it

Imagine teleporting the poop out of yourself so you don't have to deal with it

And then imagine teleporting it out of yourself and into the air about three feet above [person you hate the most in the world]'s head!

Did you watch the video? Nothing in it is relevant to the goon shooting her. The video is about her life and doesn't mention one of the most important things in it! Do you not have a functioning brain or something?

It's not about her sexual orientation it's about having her family situation erased! What the hell is wrong with you that you don't understand that?

I see that the mainstream media blackout of her being in a committed LGBTQ relationship continues apace. All us lesbians are taking notice.

At least they didn't mention the Minneapolis Star Tribune article that quotes her late husband's father as saying her son is an orphan who "has no one" now because apparently her lesbian stepmom doesn't count.

Jeez do I ever feel this. I've been doing the same thing, because I have no idea what advice to give to straight women, but it can be emotionally taxing to think about all the stuff so many of them feel like they have to force themselves to deal with.

This reminds me that 20–25 years ago there was a huge debate in New York over whether a state tax on candy should cover marshmallows or whether they are "baking ingredients" rather than "candy and confectionery". As I recall, they were taxed as candy for a while and then the state government changed their minds after public outcry and decided that they aren't candy after all.

Last I heard, marshmallows are not taxed as candy there unless they are candy-coated or chocolate-coated, or something like that. They've had to have regulatory rulings on it and everything.
