occasionally I'll take a spin back through the classics and try to close a gap with a book I missed along the way and I guess this is how I'm becoming middlemarchpilled

Frederick Douglass Statue The statue of noted abolitionist Frederick Douglass features him standing beside a lectern and an inkwell with quill pen sits in reference to his work as an author.

we can scale this one even. so you're flying into national and look over to the left and there would be, 500 feet tall

I would also settle for fiery fred steadfastly staring out into the horizon, warning our enemies. still 500 ft tall though. that's non-negotiable

I'm a single issue voter and that single issue a 500 foot tall statue of the greatest american casting his gaze upon us from cedar hill

DC couldn't toll most Potomac River bridges directly. The Teddy Roosevelt (I-66) and 14th Street (I-395) bridges are federal interstates, and with a few exceptions, states (and DC) can't put tolls on existing interstate lanes. The Trump and Obama administrations floated proposals to end that ban, but they would require the money to go for road maintenance or construction.

stupid question, but does DC have the legal authority to toll the bridges?

NEWS: @mayorbowser.dc.gov has very unexpectedly released a report @ddotdc.bsky.social finished five years ago on what implementing congestion pricing in D.C. would look like. She had refused to make it public since it was done, but now calls congestion pricing "the wrong policy at the wrong time."

Dog Daze Social Club Dog Daze is a social club for dog lovers in the heart of downtown Washington, DC. We offer a full bar, brick oven pizza, and an interactive dog park where you can meet other pet parents and their furr...

let's split the difference: is Dog Daze a dive bar?

market spoke on this one. ebikes are normie, on their way to being boring. complaining about them is like complaining about fancy coffee at starbucks. (something that out-of-touch cranks do)

I did get a point when I docked, so maybe the big guy upstairs (CaBi Ops) was looking down on me
