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