Apart from during the pandemic, I've been getting my hair cut at the same place for 30 years, which is across the street from the old WaPo building in NW DC. Turns out today was not the best day to visit an establishment that is 3 blocks from the White House, because there are a ton of a people streaming by with banners calling for a cease fire in Gaza.

Took 45 minutes to get 2 miles because police were everywhere and had blocked off vast areas of Northwest DC.

Incidentally, I'm not seeing anything about this on Washingtonpost.com, which is a little surprising just from a hey-did-you-know perspective, if not actually covering the protests.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange You moved back to DC? Haven’t been tracking the socials as closely as I use to so probably missed it. You around at #ShmooCon this weekend?

@grecs@infosec.exchange was totally planning to pop in but couldn't get over that direction. kept getting redirected away. when I circled back further around even more roads were blocked. I feel for the Shmoo attendees

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Having your errand foiled by a protest sounds very DC.

[-] briankrebs@infosec.exchange 1 points 9 months ago

@varx@infosec.exchange Maybe. I don't spend enough time in the city to know about that. But I do check Wapo anytime before I go into DC for this reason and while there was a story halfway down the homepage about the planned protest, there wasn't anything about the street closures

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange here I thought you were going to say it was super cold out

@sickmatter@babka.social
was actually a gorgeous day out. But i've been in dc enough to know when to get out because they were closing streets left and right as I was trying to leave.

I used to be able to walk that in ten minutes. 'Used to' is the key.
