The John Oliver video was epic and this follow up of kids singing the song advocating for DC Statehood is pretty damn great too:

I keep forgetting to post this awesome new sculpture at City Market at O – “Symphony in DC Major”:
“Symphony in DC Major” is a newly commissioned landmark public artwork honoring three historic figures that have made an enormous impact on the Shaw neighborhood, Washington, D.C., and beyond.
Duke Ellington
Colonel Shaw
ALMA THOMAS”
More on the artist here.
hahaha this makes me so happy:
“I have no idea who left it. It was only this weekend that I realized under the five dolls on top, there were 10 more under the cloth. All Barbies are doing well in their new foster home, and are looking forward to find places in a forever home after a future display in the pond.”
“Dear PoPville,
Our street might be ranked 49th for “state avenue gravitas” but Hawaii Ave does manage to produce some serious corn stalks. Attached are pictures of our two 12-foot tall stalks with easily 10 cobs on each.”
