We need to have a serious conversation about why En Vogue hasn’t been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The standard they set for pop and R&B groups in the ’90s was extraordinary. Their influence transcended genres, even crossing into rock. The catalog, the videos, the impact, the legacy — ALL undeniable. How are we still having this conversation? En Vogue deserves their flowers. @rockhall @questlove @EnVogueMusic

If the Popals can't make that space work then I don't know who else can.
Sneak Peek inside The Berliner. 🍺 🥨 🍻

I saw Prince there about a year before he passed so I'm probably never going to another show at Warner, cuz what could possibly top that? (And Stevie came out during the encore!)
Warner Theater is such a great transit-accessible venue. Same block as Metro Center - show ended at 11:30p last night and still got home on Metro to relieve babysitter with time to spare before her midnight curfew. D10, D5X, D34 busses right there too

Not to hype a big brand too much but @SierraNevada has some really tasty low-ABV beers. Their Mellow Little Thing Hazy IPA (4.5), Pils (4.7) and Go-Two IPA (2.8) have been among my go-to's this year, no pun intended, this year. The Pils especially has been my absolute favorite.

Wait, you didn't have Buffalo & Bergen or Bullfrog? Also, that's a ton of alliteration.
I ranked DC bagel shops earlier this year. Then I heard from readers taking me to task for some places I missed. So I took the top three suggestions - Brooklyn Bagel, Buffalo & Bergen, and Bullfrog Bagels - and added them to the survey. Link below! rickeatsdc.com/150757-2/

Quietly building an empire.
EXCLUSIVE: The Last Straw looking to open in the former Bar Pilar space at the end of the month. Read about their plans and prepare for a properly poured Guinness! - See which teams they'll be home to. Also they want to know which college team to support: popville.com/2026/10/the-las…

Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran. Because those were my dad's two favorite cereals and he'd mix them together.
When you think of your dad, what food pops into your mind first ?? 🤔

2nd food that comes to mind is smoked turkey. Because the moment my dad bought a smoker and perfected his recipe it was wrap. He'd be back there smoking turkeys for family members, for neighbors, for the community raffle! That man was the turkey master.

😂 CLASSIC! Laura Loomer interrupts a House hearing, and Congressman Billy Long responds with FAKE AUCTION CALLS to drown her out. ABSOLUTE GOLD. 🤣🤣

Not the biggest fan of the person you're referring to but I think his point was that because of Eebee's, other new bars are going to try to dub themselves as "neighborhood bars" from a marketing standpoint. I think. (Ugh, how am I defending him?)

Just say YOU don't like beer. It's okay.
Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.
