Ok some of the words on this list are annoying when ppl say them and there is value in simple communication. But also all these words make communicating in English so much more richer and interesting. It’s boring if we’re scratching synonyms and all using the exact same words.

The only thing that could have made this better is some screenshots of what the mayor and DDOT said about concept C in 2021. We’re set up for my favorite occurrence in politics: scorn from DC council directed at the shitty mayor. Would love to see council exert real leverage

Bilbo Baggins is 111. Yet his epigenetic age is only 50. He’s aging at an annual rate of 0.00, like butter scraped over too much bread, outpacing Dave Pascoe. Here’s a breakdown of his biohacking protocol (it costs WAY less than you think):

@CorpCnclAfrica AGOA also catalyzes input opportunities that SMEs can exploit. In combination with the AfCFTA, AGOA can help SMEs across Africa tap into supply chains and shift production of complex goods onto the continent
@CorpCnclAfrica Lars Benson: "We need to look at AGOA not just in terms of trade, but as an ecosystem". AGOA eligibility criteria of democracy and human rights improve governance and create a more competitive environment for SMEs, as well as create export opportunities
CIPE Africa is at the 9th Annual AGOA CSO Network Spring Conference at the Rayburn House Office Building! Regional Director Lars Benson will be speaking about AGOA's benefits for African small- and medium-sized enterprises
It's sad that little neighborhood libraries have this reputation of being for affluent white people, because let me tell you, my little library is very popular over here in majority black Fairlawn

The Founders were so concerned about bribery, it’s forbidden in three separate parts of the Constitution (impeachment and the two emoluments clauses). They did not say if a foreign govt sends money to a US president’s private account marked “business,” that magically makes it OK.

As a now Ward 3 resident who lives off Connecticut Ave, I have been holding off buying an e-bike because I don't feel it's particularly safe to bike to other stuff in Ward 3. I was waiting for these bike lanes!

Hopefully by the time Calvin is this age and he has ridden with me many times, he will already be in full agreement with my traffic safety slogan. Also, mom has the same traffic safety slogan as dad. 😆 #bikedc

The “deadly fixed objects” advocates want to see installed on urban streets to slow drivers (bollards, trees, planters, etc.) might’ve saved this family from being mowed down while they waited at a bus stop.

In Sudan, when Haggar Group joined our @cipe_ethics1st initiative, they were asked why a company in Sudan cares about compliance & integrity. They responded that Haggar had over 100 years of experience in Sudan and their business relies on trust. Ethics 1st strengthens that trust

I find that even when I have to step outside to get service (e.g. to ask my wife a question while I'm shopping) I don't even have service directly OUTSIDE Safeway. I have to walk far away. It's like they are jamming the signal or something.

Not dunking on @ShawnChittle here, if you’re a white collar downtown worker who moved here during the pandemic there’s a whole downtown after work HH scene that you may have missed or now just focused at like 1 bar in each for 4 block radius
Kinda wild that hybrid work has really changed the downtown work happy hour scene so much so that for the first time in history Elephant and Castle has been described as an “awesome” “energy and vibe”
First time at Elephant and Castle. Packed. Slammed. This might be the first 5:00pm Happy Hour where I feel like a true DC resident. This is why I moved here. The energy and vibe here is awesome. Drinks from bartender Tatiana pouring quickly. Met amazing folks from State, NASA,…
@RobertaLipp Dylan. Working title is "A Complete Unknown." Is that Timothee Chalamet dressed up as Bob? There's been a lot of buzz out on the street about it. The music will be sung by the star. No dubbing. people.com/timothee-chala…
Safe biking infrastructure supports independence & freedom of movement for all ages… including 10-12 year olds stopping at the corner store. Since the Bryant bikeway went in last fall I’ve noticed more kids & teenagers riding independently & with friends. 🚲 ❤️
Bank: Can you get us account statements of all of your bank accounts to underwrite the mortgage? Me: *sigh* And this is why collecting checking accounts is eventually a painful hobby. Bank: What. Me: What. Bank: How many are we talking about? Me: I have cut down recently. Only 40
The good news is you don't have to do anything weird here. Just follow the Constitution and return property rights to property owners and let these people complain about private decisions they can't control.
My most elitist position is that there are a lot of things like this where basically the general public is actually just incapable of understanding pretty obvious findings in economics and they should not be consulted
Before you max out your 401(k) ask yourself this one question: "Is 0.5% per year worth locking up my capital until old age?" Sometimes having more options is worth more than having more money.
We don’t even consider the sublime beauty that’s possible with hill towns. In the city where I was born, development on land over a 20% grade was illegal. Italian hill towns regularly exceed 100%.
Hills were built on for many reasons, aesthetics were low down on the list. For protection, out of necessity due to limited transportation technologies, etc. And yet, places of sublime beauty were created out of utility. In the US, we diminish sublime beauty despite all of our…
@gaganbiyani The thing is, you can't do any one thing and learn a language. It's a long and slow process for most people to truly get close to fluency (I've learned 2 languages apart from English). Duolingo does an awesome job at being a consistent base of learning and prevents you from…
@gaganbiyani “The app is fairly useless for language learning” Disagree. Learning is what you make of it. Duolingo is a great starting point for grokking initial conversation + dialogue, which can very well lead to further language learning.
