- Federal workers shouldn't expect raises anytime soon: President Obama announced Tuesday that he's extending a pay freeze for federal workers until at least next spring.
- One year later, we're still shaking over last year's East Coast earthquake: Watch this (literally) moving video from inside the Washington Monument during 2011's 5.8 magnitude earthquake. The monument hasn't reopened since the quake.
- Occupy DC, again, on film: Lest you forget about the huddled masses that protested in McPherson Square last year during Occupy DC, there's a documentary to help you remember and relive. American Autumn screened at Busboys and Poets earlier this week, but the entire doc's available online.
- For when you need to be smart and arty at parties: "Belief+Doubt" is 6,700 square feet of red, black and white typography by Barbara Kruger at the Hirshhorn Museum. Running now until sometime in 2014, its classic Kruger, combining "political and socially-aware slogans with photography."
