China Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Maryland teacher’s aide seen masturbating during Zoom lesson with kids A teacher’s aide in Maryland masturbated during a Zoom call with eighth-graders — but insists he thought the online lesson had ended. Marc Schack, an assistant for special education students at Shady Grove Middle School in Gaithersburg, told the Bethesda Magazine Wednesday he was unaware his self-love session had been captured on the virtual call until being interviewed. “I thought I was logged out when class was over,” Schack told the bimonthly mag. “I had no clue that Zoom was still on. Why would I do that? That’s my job. I had no clue that Zoom was on. I mean, that’s just crazy behavior.” A 13-second clip — later posted on social media – shows Schack gaze at his screen before standing up, taking a few steps away and beginning to pleasure himself, according to the report.

China Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Former police chief is facing charges over fires authorities say were linked to people he had disagreements with A former Maryland police chief is facing multiple arson and attempted murder charges in connection with 11 fires spanning from 2011 to 2020, according to a news release from the Prince George's County Fire/EMS Department. Authorities determined the homes, garages and vehicles that were set on fire were all connected to people with whom David M. Crawford had previous disagreements, according to the release. "The victims include a former City of Laurel official, three former law enforcement officials including a former City of Laurel Police Chief, two relatives, two of Crawford's former physicians, and a resident in his neighborhood," the release said. Crawford, 69, was arrested Wednesday, according to the release. He last served as a law enforcement official in 2010, when he resigned as the chief of the City of Laurel Police Department, the release said. Before that, Crawford was the chief of the District Heights Police Department and a major with Prince George's County police, it added. The 11 fires took place in several Maryland counties, including Prince George's County, Montgomery County, Howard County and Frederick County, and had previously been investigated separately. A 12th fire, in Charles County, is still under investigation and Crawford is a suspect in the case, the release said. No charges have so far been filed.

China Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 You'll soon be able to get drinks inside a refurbished DC Metro car A cool new hangout is about to roll into Brentwood at the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station. It’s called Metrobar, and it’s a bar built into an old Metro car. The bar itself will be inside a refurbished 5000-series Metro train car. The 5000 series was first brought into service in 2001 and trains began being retired in 2018, according to WMTA. Outside, Metrobar will have a huge outdoor space, so it's COVID-friendly. The outdoor patio space will be 11,000 Once restrictions are lifted, there will be indoor seating as well. "The venue will feature intimate and life-sized art installations, from the railcar itself to our tables, murals, stage, screens, and other programmable segments," Metrobar's website says. Metrobar says they'll be focused on local artists in and around the space. Click on the link for the full article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 With Cherry Blossoms Coming, Officials May Close Access To The Tidal Basin Again The weather is warming. The sun is shining. The trees are budding. Cherry blossom season is nearly here, D.C.’s rite of spring. But, like last year, it won’t be normal. As COVID-19 continues to ravage our region, this year’s Cherry Blossom Festival, kicking off March 20, will be a mix of in-person and virtual events. Like 2020, officials are again trying to dissuade people coming in mass to the Tidal Basin to see the blossoms. “This year it will not be safe for thousands of people to gather, as we have in years past,” John Falcicchio, D.C.’s deputy mayor for planning and economic development, said at a press conference earlier this month. But after a full year of the pandemic and a mentally draining winter, words don’t stand much of a chance against the reality that people will come to the Tidal Basin, particularly as the region’s vaccine rollout picks up steam. And, let’s be honest, the Bloom Cam is not a perfect substitute for the real thing. “I think what we learned from last year is that, at some point, it really gets hard to mitigate the crowds,” Falcicchio tells DCist/WAMU. “If a crowd gathering cannot be thinned out, then the potential is there for the area to be closed off [again].” Falcicchio isn’t the only decision-maker signaling that there’s a distinct possibility the entire Tidal Basin may end up being closed off. “We don’t want to have a repeat of last year,” National Park Service superintendent Jeff Reinbold said at a press conference on March 1. “Are there ways to let people in early in the morning or limiting access? Or is the prudent thing to do is just to close the entire site?” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This Thread About a Tinder Match Who Promised to Come Over and Make French Fries Will Thaw Your Cold Heart When Collier Fernekes tweeted a DM she had received from a Tinder match, she didn’t expect it to go viral. Like, almost 67,000 likes viral. The 26-year-old research analyst, who lives in Fort Totten, had swiped right on a guy named John earlier this month. She liked him because she thought he was cute and he had a funny PowerPoint in his bio outlining all the reasons why someone should date him (“We could meet for drinks and I’ll get anxious,” “Really great at responding to texts”). Fernekes swiped right, then forgot to check the app for a few days. But when she did, she realized she had a message from John, and John wanted to make Fernekes some French fries. Fernekes told John about the post blowing up online, and they laughed at the Twitter responses together. She continued to post updates to the thread, leading up to the duo’s first Zoom date last night. Click on the link for more 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Ugh, the end of an institution. I remember, and have also forgotten, so many nights at Whitlows. My friend literally has a dog named Whitlow. https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/03/25/a-bunch-of-classic-clarendon-bars-have-closed-whitlows-is-the-latest-loss/ Quote Mister Days closed in 2019. Clarendon Ballroom shuttered in early 2020. The Bracket Room (the sports bar co-founded by a Bachelorette contestant), shut down in March. And now, after more than a quarter century in business, Clarendon bar-crawl staple Whitlow’s on Wilson is saying goodbye, too. The place—home to countless happy hours, boozy brunches, St. Patrick’s Day parties, and home-for-the-holidays gatherings—will serve its final pint on June 26. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Incident averted: Neighbors evacuated for hours while Arlington police investigate explosive devices in nearby home Neighbors say the 1100 block of N. Stuart Street in Arlington is a safe community with lots of working professionals. When Arlington County police and a bomb squad arrived on Tuesday afternoon they were shocked. "What I saw was a line of police cars [and] lots of officers with their bulletproof vests on," said Jonah Smith who lives in on the block. Smith said Arlington County police knocked on his door and asked him to evacuate while they executed a search warrant in the house next door. "We left at about 4:00 and then we were able to come back around 7:30 or 8:00[pm]," Smith said. That's when police said they found bomb-making materials. Arlington County Fire Department’s Bomb Squad responded to the scene and assisted with the removal of the devices from the house next to Smith on the 1100 block of N Stuart street. After Smith was back in his home police found another suspicious item and asked neighbors to evacuate again. "We all needed to evacuate the house and we needed to do it pronto," said Smith. In total police say they removed three devices from the home: two pipe bombs and a sawed-off shotgun. "Given the nature of the incident...we received assistance yesterday from our federal partners including the Washington Field Office of the FBI," said Arlington County spokesperson, Ashley Savage. After a two-day investigation, Arlington Police arrested Ryan Bosnick.

China Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Goodbye to Gate 35X, cursed portal to the rest of America Let’s get right to it: It was a bus station. A bus station in an airport. It was two places you’d rather not be, melded into one place. There was no flourish to its badness. Gate 35X at Reagan National Airport did not have the utilitarian exotica of the Dulles people-movers, trundling across a tarmac Tatooine. It did not have the high-low smack of Union Station, where travelers are welcomed by the Roman arches of Constantine but digested through a boarding area that feels like the waiting room of an ER. Gate 35X wasn’t a vortex like the Springfield Interchange, or a labyrinth like the Metro station at L’Enfant Plaza. Gate 35X didn’t qualify as a municipal quirk, like Washington’s lack of a J Street. Gate 35X was just a bus station. In an airport. Except, somehow, it was more than that. It was a funnel, a choke point, a cattle call. One gate, as many as 6,000 travelers per day. The ceilings were lower. The seats were all taken, as were the electrical outlets. There was no bathroom down there, no vending machine, no water fountain. Dante’s circles were over-invoked. The complaining was olympic. Queues kinked in our slow sprint to somewhere else, through a bay of four doors, via shuttle rides that were short distances but long journeys, onto small regional jets bound for second-tier American cities. GREENVILLE. KNOXVILLE. HUNTSVILLE. LOUISVILLE. At DOOR 1. No, DOOR 2. Sorry, DOOR 3. CHARLESTON, W. Va., is at DOOR 4. Sorry, CHARLESTON, South Carolina. Gate 35X was a logistical necessity arranged as an obstacle course. A convenience composed of inconveniences. A land mine for unprepared tourists. Gate 35X was the clunky magic trick that got members of Congress from last-minute votes at the Capitol to family dinners in small-town Ohio or Alabama. Gate 35X was the great equalizer. It made big shots small. In the span of five hours, a corporate lobbyist could go from Grey Goose at Cafe Milano to meat sweats on a sardined bus — “Next time, Cynthia, get me out of a real gate” — along with a troop of Boy Scouts that was entirely too punchy for the predawn hour. Gate 35X was "the purgatory they sent you to as a passenger," according to Jeremiah McBride, "and the hell they sent you to as a pilot." After passengers were bused to a plane, they waited on a boarding ramp exposed to the heat or wind or sleet, at eye level with the pilot. “As a captain you’re sitting right there, and they’re all staring at you,” McBride says. “You’re hiding behind your sun shade.” Hardly anyone is traveling through Gate 35X anymore because of the pandemic, but soon no one will travel through it ever again. On April 20, DCA is retiring 35X with the soft opening of a new regional terminal, a normal terminal, with 14 gates and 14 jet bridges instead of one gate and zero jet bridges.
