“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if the fine people of PoPville can help me out, I donked up pretty good with my partner about two months ago. Donated her high school copy of The Handmaid’s Tale to one of the little libraries in Mount Pleasant – any chance one of your readers reading this found and read it?? Her initials are JW and I’d be happy to replace her copy with one from Lost City Books ;-)”

NBC News reported:
“President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday to have the federal government take control of Washington, D.C., after an assault on a well-known original staffer for the Department of Government Efficiency in the nation’s capital over the weekend.
Edward Coristine, also known by his online name, “Big Balls,” and a woman characterized in a police report as his significant other were the victims of an unarmed attempted carjacking early Sunday.”
From MPD:
“The Metropolitan Police Department announces the arrests of two suspects in an attempted unarmed carjacking that occurred in Northwest.
On Sunday, August 3, 2025, at approximately 3:00 a.m., the suspects approached the victims, who were standing next to their vehicle, in the 1400 block of Swann Street, Northwest. The suspects demanded the victim’s vehicle and then assaulted one of the victims. During the assault, an MPD cruiser pulled into the block causing the suspects to flee. Two of the suspects were apprehended by the on-scene officers. One of the victims was treated on scene by DC Fire and EMS for injuries sustained in the assault.
A 15-year-old juvenile male and a 15-year-old juvenile female, of Hyattsville, MD, were arrested and charged with Unarmed Carjacking. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
FYI something super weird going on at Parker & Ace on H St. My pet goes there and we’ve only seen these cryptic instagram posts. I can’t get a refund for the credits. I have on my account. Seems like they are owned by a VC company and who knows something like the funding may have dried up. There are people commenting that their dogs are in the middle of antibiotic regimens and they can’t go for their follow ups. It’s really fucked up. The team there is always so nice but VC ruins everything. I have like $500 in credit there…”
