Huge Shoutout to Capital Bikeshare for Making 2020 Manageable

As 2020 comes to a close, there is little to be thankful for. But it is important to look at this last year and find some good in it. While looking back I realized how thankful I am for Capital Bikeshare. Before COVID hit, I mainly traveled around the city via metro, bus, or Uber. …

The 10pm Drinking Rule in DC is Silliness, and Should Actually be Reversed

I was thinking about this today while DC got a little snow. Drinking by a fire while the snow falls or under a patio is amazing. It is peaceful, the city is quieter and we won’t have many snow days per winter with the climate warming. Taking advantage of days like this is important. Obviously …

It was a good week, I didn’t stress about Trump once.

Sitting in my house wrapping up work on a Friday evening thinking of weekend plans, and it hit me. I didn’t really stress about Trump or his administration once this week.

Joe resoundly won the election, but Trump and his Republican sycophants don’t see it that way. Trump seeks to delegitimize Biden’s win. He is filling suit in almost every battle ground …

One Week Until the Election

We made it! Four years under Donald Trump’s presidency yet here we are. The country is certainly worse off because of it, but America endures. Trump has disrupted so much. Partisanship is at an all time high while faith in institutions at an all time low. Irreparable damage continues to be done to the environment. …

Why the Hell has no Police Reform Happened Yet

This week another act of police brutality happened. Jacob Blake was shot seven times in the back as he got into his own vehicle. The shooting has once again sparked outrage across the country. Once again, people have taken to the streets in cities across America. Once again, you see acts of amazing kindness and …

Update on Police: Might need a Full Rebuild

Its amazing to see the difference arising on a city to city basis. Not sure how much you guys are paying attention to local news, or how the national media is portraying it, but how cities have been responding has a direct correlation on the protests and riots. Camden compared to Philadelphia has been a great example. Just a …
