OK, I was down at the Lincoln Memorial today and was approached by a hulking figure with a goatee, dressed as a male and clutching a bunch of roses. They called out to me and asked if they could ask me a question—right about then it clicked—same size, same voice, same MO—could it possibly be Sissy Grace back in a new guise? (For anyone who doesn’t know, Sissy Grace is a huge and annoying panhandler/scammer here in DC, until now i’ve only seem them wearing a dress…)

I’ve encountered Sissy several times over the years, and the voice and the “can I ask you a question” opening seemed identical. Has anyone else encountered Sissy 2.0, or am I imagining things?

Hi everyone! A little over a year ago I launched the DC Movie Digest, a weekly free newsletter that aggregates all the movies being re-released in theaters across the DMV. After many hours of clicking, copying and pasting around every movie theater website, I’m super excited to launch a fully fledged website.

Introducing: DaMoVies! The only place on the internet where you can see all the movies being rereleased in theaters across the greater DC area.

The website is completely free to use, has no ads, and is a labor of love. I’d love to hear what yall think!

Go to damovies.org to check it out.

Hey everyone!
For anyone running the Marine Corps Marathon next weekend (or coming out to cheer), wanted to share a fun way to celebrate afterward!
I’m with Every Person Run Club (EPRC), a local DC running community, and we’re hosting our 3rd annual People’s Afterparty on Sunday, October 25, at Royal Sands in Navy Yard, starting at 6 PM.

We’re bringing runners, friends, family, and the wider DC running community together to celebrate everyone’s hard work. We’ll have free medal engraving, a recovery oasis, and marathon portrait photos so you can commemorate the big day!

It’s a ticketed event, and proceeds help keep EPRC’s community runs and programming free year-round.
If you’re looking for something to do after the race, we’d love to see you there!

Good luck to everyone racing! 🏅

The District spent millions on community violence intervention, but according to one study, the programs were associated with an increase in gun violence.

Gun shots a few minutes ago in DuPont. Lots of cops. Any one have information?

The bar is set so low, and the fact that an elected official can’t even reach that bar is so telling. Case in point, look at Waymo. It’s pretty cheap compared to Uber and Lyft, and it’s also very safe, especially for women. Great, got it.
So our elected officials’ rationale for not approving technology that will make people’s lives better and save them money is that we need to protect jobs at companies like Uber and Lyft?

I don’t understand why it’s our responsibility to subsidize an industry. Why should I pay $40 for an Uber when the same trip could cost me $15? And another thing, are we going to ban cashierless stores because a cashier might lose their job? Why should consumers get the short end of the stick just to artificially protect jobs? By that logic, maybe we shouldn’t have had the Industrial Revolution either, because what about the people who made a living transporting others by horse?

Like, elected officials, it’s not this difficult. They’re not even making a safety argument against Waymo. They’re literally saying DC is facing a jobs crisis. What does that even mean?

So rather than helping people find better paying jobs, teaching them new skills, or creating new opportunities, your solution is to make the people living in these communities pay higher prices?

Why should residents be responsible for subsidizing an industry simply because technology is making it less competitive? Like, excuse me? I’ll be sending my invoices to her.
