Relief for a D.C. food desert TRANSPORTATION There was a time, when she was just 77, when Florentine Jones could twirl and throw a shot put.

Now 78, and with a new pacemaker, Jones won’t be tossing a weight like she has in the past at the annual DC Senior Games.

But she sings in a choir, works on puzzles and belongs to a sewing group, so she needs her grapes and bananas to keep up her energy, she said last Thursday.

Easter was also coming, so she needed eggs to make Easter eggs for the grandchildren.

But one of the challenges of living in a low-income area is that it’s hard to find places to buy eggs, grapes or bananas.

The supermarket closest to her subsidized senior apartment complex in Ward 8 is a Giant, which she would have to walk a mile-and-a-half to reach, or take the bus with all of her groceries.

So, until recently, whenever she needed groceries, she’d pay another of the seniors in her complex $20 or $25 to drive her.

A 2017 study by the D.C. Policy Center found that 80 percent

of food deserts in the District — where residents do not have easy access to groceries — were in Wards 7 and 8 in Southeast.

The study defined food deserts as areas with no grocery stores in walking distance, where most people do not have cars, and the

median income is too low to be able to afford alternatives like Lyft or Uber. There are no such areas in wealthier Ward 3 in Northwest and only one in Ward 2.

“We’ve been left out of a lot of things,” said Jones. She’s lived in the area for all of a life that’s

seen changes. She grew up in a house with outdoor bathrooms. It was a time when colds were still treated with a drop of kerosene with a bit of sugar.

But last week she found herself calling up a Lyft with an app on her phone to go shopping.

It’s only temporary reprieve from life in a food desert. Since January, Lyft has been offering a discount to Jones and a limited number of seniors in the two Southeast wards on shared rides to shop for groceries. The fare: $1.50 each way.

The company has been offering a similar discount to families with children in Southeast elementary schools.

Jones used to work as a verifier for the U.S. Treasury, making sure the amount of money being made at the mint was correct. So when a car came, Jones checked the license plate. “Who are you picking up?” she asked, only getting in once the driver said her name. “$1.50. It’s a blessing,” Jones said later in the dairy aisle, making sure the eggs in her cart were the same brand as her coupons.

Soon, though, it will cost more again to buy her groceries. The discount ends at the end of June.

Soros cash shakes up races VIRGINIA A political action committee funded by Democratic megadonor and billionaire George Soros has made large contributions to two upstart progressive candidates attempting to unseat Democratic prosecutors in Northern Virginia primary races.

The generous support for Arlington County commonwealth’s attorney candidate Parisa Tafti and Fairfax County commonwealth’s attorney candidate Steve Descano could shake up contests that rarely receive such national attention.

Tafti and Descano welcomed the contributions. But incumbents Theo Stamos and Ray Morrogh denounced their opponents for taking the money, saying it made them beholden to the agenda of a political operative with no roots in Virginia.

The challengers received another high-profile push Monday, when a group of professional football stars who advocate for racial and social justice hosted a forum that featured Tafti and Descano.

Morrogh and Stamos were also invited by the Players Coalition but had scheduling conflicts.

Soros-aligned PACs have given heavily to local prosecutors’ races across the country in recent years, helping tip contests to reformist Democratic candidates in Philadelphia, Chicago,

Two challengers for top Virginia prosecutor jobs get a billionaire’s boost

Democratic megadonor George Soros is backing two upstart progressives attempting to unseat prosecutors in Northern Virginia primary races.

Tafti

Stamos

Houston and elsewhere.

Criminal justice reformers like Soros have targeted prosecutors’ races as one of the most direct routes to changing policy, since the local offices wield wide power over who gets charged, what charges they face and who goes free on bond.

Tafti and Descano each received more than $50,000 in in-kind contributions from the Virginia Justice and Public Safety PAC this year, according

Descano

Morrogh

to recently released campaign contribution figures. In-kind contributions pay for polling, mailers and other campaign services.

The PAC is now far and away both candidates’ largest donor, and the contributions represent sizable chunks of the $139,000 and $146,000 Tafti and Descano have raised, respectively. And thanks to the PAC’s donations, each candidate has now raised more than the incumbent in the

race — Morrogh and Stamos have each raised roughly $106,000.

Tafti and Descano have staked out positions to the left of the incumbents on a range of issues, promising to end marijuana possession prosecutions, do away with cash bonds and forgo death penalty prosecutions. In recent debates, both have highlighted racial disparities in prosecution, particularly for low-level drug and driving offenses.

Descano, a former federal prosecutor and Army helicopter pilot, said the donation from the Soros-funded PAC validates his push to remake the prosecutor’s office in Fairfax County.

“If we want real criminal justice reform where it matters most, then that change starts here at home,” Descano said in his statement. “That’s why I’m so encouraged by all of the support my vision for progressive criminal justice reform has received.”

State Sen. Chap Peterson, DFairfax City, who is backing Morrogh and has not endorsed anyone in Arlington, said he was leery of local races becoming referendums on national issues, even though he has supported criminal justice reform legislation.

“I’m aware there’s a lot of issues out there involving criminal justice reform, but I’m a little bit reticent to see people from a local constitutional office who would be running with national money and a national agenda,” Peterson said. “That’s not how we’ve done it in Virginia historically.”

local Sidwell Friends student was one of hundreds killed in terrorist attack THE DISTRICT Alex Arrow keeps expecting to see his son, Kieran Shafritz de Zoysa, walk around the corner.

He imagines his boy trailing behind him at the supermarket the way he would as a young child.

That he will never do those things again is like waking from a bad dream every single minute and praying it isn’t real, Arrow said Tuesday. Kieran, an

11-year-old who was on leave from D.C.’s Sidwell Friends School and was finishing 18 months of school in Sri Lanka, was killed in one of the bombings on Easter Sunday that left over 300 dead and more than 500 injured in Sri Lanka. He was supposed to return to Sidwell in the fall for sixth grade.

Arrow said Kieran was at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel in Colombo and had just sat down to brunch with his mother, Dhulsini de Zoysa of Northwest D.C., and his grandmother when the explosion tore through the restaurant.

His mother and grandmother

survived the attack, but Kieran was hit by three pieces of shrapnel, one of which pierced his heart, his father said.

What has been lost, Arrow said, is the life of a boy who would have done great things. He wants people to know his son was a dedicated student who for the past two years had wanted to be a neuroscientist and work on finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Now, that future has been extinguished.

“Since he’s not going to be famous as a neuroscientist as we thought, it turns out this is what he’s going to be famous for,” Arrow

said. “He only made it to age 111/2.

He’ll forever be known as the boy who was killed on Easter Sunday in the Sri Lankan bombings.”

Kieran would have turned 12 in August. More than anything, his father wants people to know his goodness and his heart.

“He was totally altruistic. He did everything he did because he wanted to help people,” Arrow said. “And that’s who the terrorists took away from us. … If they were trying to do the maximum damage, they don’t know how well they succeeded.”

WHO takes hard line on screen time for kids New guidelines suggest not letting kids under 1 use any mobile devices

Wash. may allow ‘human composting’

Children shouldn’t spend any time with screens in their first year of life, new WHO guidelines say.

GETTY IMAGES

TECHNOLOGY The World Health Organization issued strict new guidelines Wednesday on one of the most anxiety-producing issues of 21stcentury family life: How much should parents resort to videos and online games to entertain, educate or simply distract their young children?

The answer, according to the WHO, is never for children in their first year of life and rarely in their second. Those aged 2 to 4, the international health agency said, should spend no more than an hour a day in front of a screen.

The WHO drew on emerging — but as yet unsettled — science about the risks screens pose to the development of young minds at a time when surveys show children are spending increasing amounts of time watching mobile devices.

Ninety-five percent of families with children under the age of 8 have smartphones, according to the nonprofit Common Sense Media, and 42 percent of children under 8 have access to their own tablet device.

Experts in child development say that acquiring language and social skills, typically by interacting with parents and others, are among the most important cognitive tasks of childhood.

ASHES TO ASHES …

“Achieving health for all means doing what is best for health right from the beginning of people’s lives,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. “Early childhood is a period of rapid development and a time when family lifestyle patterns can be adapted to boost health gains.”

Yet strict rules sometimes generate more guilt than useful corrections in parenting decisions, said pediatricians and researchers who have studied the issue.

“It induces a real conflict,” said University of Michigan pediatrician Jenny Radesky, author of screen-time guidelines for the

American Academy of Pediatrics in 2016. “The more guidelines we give, it just seems like there’s going to be more of a mismatch between what experts say … and what it feels like to be a parent in the real world every day.”

The rules from the WHO, the public health agency of the United Nations, track with those of other public health groups in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics’ guidelines make an exception to allow video chatting for children under 18 months and suggest that those closer to 2 might benefit from occasional viewing of educational videos.

Washington may become the first state to allow a burial alternative known as “natural organic reduction” — a decomposition process that turns bodies into soil within weeks. The bill legalizing the process, also known as “human composting,” is headed to Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee. Katrina Spade, below, the founder and CEO of Recompose, was a graduate student when she found that the use of wood chips, alfalfa and straw creates a mixture of nitrogen and carbon that accelerates natural decomposition when a body is in a temperature and moisture-controlled vessel and rotated.

‘Jeopardy!’ player/cyborg tops $1M mark TELEVISION There’s no truth to the rumor that James Holzhauer is a cyborg created to be the perfect “Jeopardy!” contestant.

But given how he’s made a level of excellence rarely seen on the television quiz show appear almost mundane, it seems that way. Holzhauer eclipsed the $1 million mark in winnings Tuesday on his 14th appearance.

Not only has he won $131,127 to shatter the program’s previous one-day record of $77,000, he already has the top five one-day scores in the history of a game that has aired regularly since 1984.

For the professional gambler from Las Vegas, the show’s most hallowed records, set in 2004 when Ken Jennings won 74 games in a row and earned more than $2.5 million, seem like a plausible goal.

His strategy is to begin games with the highest-value clues, hoping to quickly build winnings and land on the one “Daily Double” in the first round.

When he does, he usually bets everything. The two “Daily Doubles” in the game’s second round are also coveted.

With his style of play, Holzhauer considers Jennings’ earnings record a more achievable goal than the 74-game winning streak. Given the show’s schedule, which includes tournaments and reruns, fans wouldn’t know until September if he approaches the record of consecutive shows.

A MESSAGE FROM METRO GM/CEO

PAUL J. WIEDEFELD Thank you for your role in helping to save the planet by riding Metro.

Your choice to ride the train or bus reduces greenhouse gases and is one of the biggest ways you can help our region become more sustainable. In fact, each Metrorail trip generates 40 percent less CO2 than someone riding the same distance alone.

With nearly one million bus and rail trips each weekday, Metro riders help reduce the region’s carbon footprint by keeping cars off the road.

The CO2 saved by our riders each day – 1,110 metric tons – is the equivalent of: • Burning 125,000 gallons of gasoline • Energy to power 48,500 homes • Electricity to charge 140 million cellphones If you’re curious about the environmental benefit of choosing Metro for your own commute, you may want to check out the new sustainability calculator at wmata.com/TripPlanner. When you plan a trip, the results include information on how much that trip contributes to reducing the region’s carbon footprint.

Earlier this week as part of our Earth Day celebrations, we also introduced Metro’s first-ever Energy Action Plan. The bold five-year initiative provides a detailed roadmap to reduce energy usage, cut greenhouse gas emissions and generate up to $29 million annually in energy and operational savings. To read the full Energy Action Plan and learn more about Metro’s sustainability efforts, visit wmata.com/sustainability.

Together with you, our riders, we are committed to making the right choice for the environment by changing the way we do business and strengthening our role in fighting climate change. Thank you for joining us in the fight.

As part of our sustainability efforts, Metro and the Anacostia Watershed Society are partnering to plant 350 trees at several Metro stations. Last week, we planted the first few trees – Eastern Redbuds – at Anacostia Station. In the coming months, additional trees will be planted at Suitland, Prince George’s Plaza & West Hyattsville stations.

POLITICS | ANALYSIS

A constitutional collision President Trump declared Wednesday that he and his administration will battle House Democrats on all legal fronts after the special counsel’s Russia report, refusing to cooperate with subpoenas and appealing to the Supreme Court if Congress tries to impeach him. “I say it’s enough,” Trump said, adding that he “thought after two years we’d be finished with it.” As the two branches of government move closer to a constitutional collision, here are four battles to watch. (THE WASHINGTON POST/AP)

Financial details

Tax records

Security clearances

Impeachment proceedings

On Monday, Trump sued a member of Congress and Trump’s own accounting firm to try to prevent that firm from handing over a decade’s worth of his financial statements. A House oversight committee is investigating whether Trump inflated his assets or deflated them to get loans or avoid real estate taxes — which could constitute possible bank fraud.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he will decide by May 6 whether to let the IRS hand over Trump’s tax records to the House Ways and Means Committee, which is looking at how the IRS audits presidents.

Trump has refused to publicize his returns, as other presidents have, and is suing House democrats to try to block their release. The suit cited a Supreme Court case from 1880, but that ruling was overturned nearly a century ago.

The House oversight committee is also investigating whether the White House gave top-secret security clearances to people who may have had drug, criminal or financial problems. This investigation has the potential to catch Trump in a lie about whether he overrode security clearance experts to give his son-in-law Jared Kushner access to the nation’s biggest secrets.

The House committee that could launch impeachment proceedings wants to talk to one of the key players in the Mueller investigation, former White House counsel Donald McGahn. McGahn testified to Mueller that Trump tried to fire the special counsel, then told McGahn to lie about it.

Trump suggested Wednesday that he would ask the Supreme Court to intervene if Democrats move to impeach him.

How this could escalate even more: The accounting firm is willing to hand over the documents, but the ensuing court fight could take so long that Trump or key members of Congress are out of office by the time it’s settled.

What legal experts say: “Congress can and should win eventually in the lower court, but that’s not the end of the story,” said Lisa Kern Griffin, a law professor at Duke University.

“Some of this could go all the way up to the Supreme Court. It can move faster than ordinary cases, but it is not going to move with lightning speed. … And the clock favors one side of the equation here.” And that’s Trump’s.

How this could escalate: This is likely to turn into a court fight over the meaning of the law that says the IRS “shall” turn over tax records to Congress.

Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., thinks he is on solid footing here because the law is a century old.

Congress could also vote to hold Mnuchin in contempt and even try to put him in jail.

What legal experts say: The effort to block the returns’ release was described to The Post by legal experts as a delay tactic — one of many that’s again aimed at running out the clock.

How this could escalate: Congress is working with a whistleblower and wants to talk to her former boss at the White House, Carl Kline. It subpoenaed Kline, but the White House told him to ignore the subpoena and Kline has listened. Next, Congress could vote to hold Kline in contempt, which could eventually lead to daily fines or the threat of jail time until he talks to lawmakers.

What legal experts say: In the past, Griffin noted, both sides usually worked on a compromise, determining some limited points of testimony or to agree to provide certain information. The Trump administration, though, has shown little interest in that.

20 current or former inmates file suit alleging inhumane conditions at Cleveland county jail

How this could escalate: Trump is considering telling McGahn not to testify by exerting executive privilege over those conversations.

But McGahn is the former White House counsel — he does not work for the White House anymore.

What legal experts say: Some have argued that Trump lost his ability to exert executive privilege the day he decided not to use it when McGahn (and other aides) testified to Mueller. As for asking the Supreme Court to intervene, legal experts said Trump showed a misunderstanding of the Constitution. Laurence Tribe, a Harvard law professor, accused Trump of “idiocy.”

WASHINGTONPOST.COM MORNING MIX

Citing Trump, Iowa lawmaker leaves the GOP Iowa’s longest-serving Republican legislator, state Rep. Andy McKean, ditched the GOP on Tuesday as he offered a searing renunciation of President Trump, saying he could no longer support Trump as the party’s standard-bearer because of his “unacceptable behavior” and “reckless spending.”

McKean revealed that he would join the Democratic Party, a decision he described as “very difficult” after spending nearly a half-century as a registered Republican and 26 years in the legislature. But ultimately, he said, “I feel as a Republican that I need to be able to support the standard-bearer of our party.”

And “unfortunately,” he said, he could not bring himself to support Trump.

“Unacceptable behavior should be called out for what it is,” he said during a news conference at the Iowa Statehouse in Des Moines, “and Americans of all parties should insist on something far better in the leader of their country and the free world.”

From Kansas to New Jersey, a slow succession of state lawmakers and officials, largely in suburban districts that have become less red, has both startled and appeased constituents by crossing the aisle, oftentimes citing Trump’s rhetoric, policies and a disagreement with their party’s responses to his behavior.

nation+world As bombings’ toll rises, president ousts security officials over lapses COLOMBO, SRI LANKA Sri Lanka’s president shook up the country’s top security establishment after officials failed to act on intelligence reports warning of possible attacks before the Easter bombings that killed over 350 people, his office said Wednesday.

The capital of Colombo, meanwhile, remained rattled by reports that police were continuing to conduct controlled detonations of suspicious items three days after the attacks on churches and luxury hotels, and the U.S. ambassador said Washington believes “the terrorist plotting is ongoing.”

During a televised speech Tuesday night, President Maithripala Sirisena said he would change the head of the defense forces within 24 hours, and on Wednesday he asked for the resignations of the defense secretary and national police chief in a dramatic internal shake-up. He did not say who would replace them.

Sirisena said he had been kept in the dark on the intelligence about the planned attacks.

Government leaders have acknowledged that some intelligence units were aware of possible attacks weeks before the bombings that struck three churches and three luxury hotels.

The death toll rose Wednesday to 359, with 500 people wounded.

Sri Lanka turmoil deepens

Colombo, Sri Lanka, remains on high alert three days after bombings there killed at least 359 people.

Gunasekara also said 18 suspects were arrested overnight, raising the total detained to 58.

Sri Lankan authorities have

blamed a local extremist group, National Towheed Jamaat. On Wednesday, junior defense minister Ruwan Wijewardene said the attackers had broken away from National Towheed Jamaat and another group, which he identified only as “JMI.” The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Authorities remain unsure of the group’s involvement, though they are investigating whether foreign militants advised or aided the local bombers.

Wijewardene said many of the suicide bombers were highly educated and came from well-to-do families. “Their thinking is that Islam can be the only religion in this country,” he told reporters.

HEALTH The World Health Organization says Malawi has become the first country to begin immunizing children against malaria, using the only licensed vaccine to protect against the mosquitospread disease.

Although the vaccine only protects about one-third of children who are immunized, those who get the shots are likely to have less severe cases of malaria. The parasitic disease kills about 435,000 people every year, the majority of them children under 5 in Africa.

The vaccine, known as Mosquirix, was developed

by GlaxoSmithKline and was approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2015.

Pedro Alonso, director of the WHO’s malaria program, said similar vaccination programs would begin in the coming weeks in Kenya and Ghana, with the aim of reaching about 360,000 children per year.

Some experts warned the vaccination programs should not divert limited public health funds from inexpensive and proven tools to curb malaria, such as bed nets and insecticides.

“This is a bold thing to do, but it’s not a silver bullet,” said Thomas Churcher, a malaria expert at Imperial College London. “As long as using the vaccine doesn’t interfere with other efforts, like the urgent need for new insecticides, it is a good thing to do.”

France seeks to accelerate Notre Dame’s restoration

Government apologizes to forcibly sterilized victims

Boeing estimates 737 Max will cost company $1B

France’s government has presented a bill aimed at speeding up the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral and providing transparency on how donations for the restoration will be spent. The bill detailed Wednesday will allow the government to pass emergency orders regarding Notre Dame and to skip some ordinary renovation procedures. Still, the measure is sensitive, since some architects and heritage experts have expressed concerns about the quality of the work to be done on the cathedral.

French President Emmanuel Macron has set a goal of rebuilding the cathedral in just five years. (AP)

Japan’s government apologized Wednesday to tens of thousands of people who were forcibly sterilized under a now-defunct Eugenics Protection Law that was designed to “prevent the birth of poor-quality descendants.” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga offered “sincere remorse and a heartfelt apology” to the victims.

It came after the parliament earlier Wednesday enacted legislation to provide redress, including $28,600 in compensation for each victim.

An estimated 25,000 people were sterilized without consent under the 1948 Eugenics Protection Law, which remained in place until 1996. (AP)

Boeing is already estimating a $1 billion increase in costs related to its troubled 737 Max and has pulled its forecast of 2019 earnings because of uncertainty surrounding the jetliner, which remains grounded after two crashes that killed 346 people. The estimate was disclosed Wednesday in a presentation for investors as Boeing released first-quarter financial results, which missed Wall Street expectations.

CEO Dennis Muilenburg repeated that the company is making progress on updating key flight-control software in the Max with the goal of convincing regulators to let the plane fly again. (AP)

nation+world U.N.: U.S., Afghan forces responsible for more deaths than the Taliban KABUL, AFGHANISTAN Afghan and international forces were responsible for more civilian deaths in the first three months of 2019 than the Taliban and other militants, a new U.N. report said Wednesday. It marks the first time in recent years that civilian deaths attributed to government forces and their allies exceeded those blamed on their enemies.

The statistics reflects what

many say is a growing problem in Afghanistan’s brutal war, in which civilians die not only in suicide bombings and insurgent attacks but also in the crossfire.

The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan reported Wednesday that 581 civilians were killed between Jan. 1 and March 31, with Afghan forces and their allies responsible for 305 of those deaths. The insurgents were responsible for wounding more civilians than the coalition forces, the report said.

NFL DRAFT | FIRST ROUND: 8 TONIGHT, ESPN

A lot of options at No. 15 After a disappointing 7-9 season marred by injuries, the Redskins have plenty of gaps that need filling, from quarterback to edge rusher to wide receiver. But the team, which owns the 15th overall pick in tonight’s NFL draft, will be at the mercy of the teams selecting in front of it. That makes it difficult to predict which players will be available when Washington finally gets a turn in the

middle of the first round. But here are five prospects for Redskins fans to keep an eye on. KAREEM COPELAND (THE WASHINGTON POST)

It’s finally draft day and teams are ready to build their rosters. Ahead of tonight’s first round, here’s a prediction of each pick before the Redskins make their first selection at No. 15.

AP AND GETTY IMAGES

JOHN CLAYTON (TWP)

Dwayne Haskins

Jonah Williams

Brian Burns

Clelin Ferrell

Marquise Brown

QB, Ohio State; 6-foot-3, 231 pounds

OT, Alabama; 6-4, 302 pounds

Edge rusher, Florida State; 6-5, 249 pounds

Edge rusher, Clemson; 6-4, 264 pounds

WR, Oklahoma; 5-9, 166 pounds

Haskins would be a no-brainer if he’s still available at No. 15.

Considered the best pure passer in this year’s class, he threw for 4,831 yards, 50 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season, recording a Big Ten-high 70.0 completion percentage. A Maryland native, Haskins led the NCAA in passing yards and passing touchdowns. The biggest criticisms of him are his lack of experience after starting just one season for the Buckeyes, and a lack of mobility. “I feel like [pocket presence is] very important for a quarterback because that is where the play starts, fundamentally wise,” Haskins said.

Williams was a three-year starter with the Crimson Tide, holding down the right tackle position as a freshman and moving to the left side for his final two years. He was named an AP All-American as a junior, but some believe he’s better suited for the guard position in the NFL, given his relatively short arms at 33 ⅝ inches.

“Jonah has played a lot of ball at a very high level against elite players,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said. “I believe he can kick inside. That’s personally where I think he’s going to end up. I think he’s going to be a very good player in there. … To me, he’s the highfloor guy.”

Burns brings elite athleticism to the field, and lived in the backfield during his collegiate career.

He posted 23 sacks and 38.5 tackles for loss in three seasons with the Seminoles. His 10 sacks last season ranked second in the ACC. The concern is that Burns plays a little light and relies more on natural athletic ability rather than an array of pass-rush techniques. “I pretty much do a lot of my moves off of speed,” Burns said at the NFL combine. “So I mean, I’ve got a lot of ways to win. I feel like I win inside, outside. I feel like I’ve got a lot of counters. And then I really want to work on my speed to power, that’s a big thing I’m working on.”

Ferrell isn’t the flashiest prospect at edge rusher, but is steady, reliable and a winner. The Richmond native racked up 27 sacks in his final three seasons, including a career-high 11.5 in 2018. Ferrell also had 50.5 tackles for loss and 166 tackles in those three years. He was named 2018 ACC defensive player of the year and led the league in sacks. Experts say he’ll be productive in the NFL. “Clelin’s just a really good football player,” ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said. “You look at his numbers and he doesn’t have the elite explosiveness. But he got better every year.

His production was outstanding.”

Nicknamed Hollywood, Brown, the cousin of Raiders star wideout Antonio Brown, was one of the most explosive receivers in the nation last season while catching balls from Heisman winner and likely No. 1 pick Kyler Murray. He caught 75 passes for 1,318 yards with 10 touchdowns as a junior in 2018. Brown can work inside at the slot receiver position or on the outside, but a foot surgery from a Lisfranc injury kept him from the NFL combine and Oklahoma’s pro day.

McShay compared him to DeSean Jackson and said he’s one of the fastest, most explosive players he’s ever evaluated at the position.

Sanchez struggles in Colorado Fumbling Nats haven’t been able to win more than two straight games all season Anibal Sanchez allowed six runs in five innings in Wednesday’s loss.

DAVID ZALUBOWSKI (AP)

ROCKIES 9, NATIONALS 5 The Rockies bullied the Nationals every which way Wednesday in Colorado, with hard-hit doubles, hard-earned walks, blooped singles and, in the end, another loss to process on a long flight home.

The Nationals fell 9-5 at Coors Field on Wednesday afternoon, continuing their season-long habit of stumbling after succeeding, creating more questions where answers should be. Starter Anibal Sanchez was roughed up for six runs in five innings, and the Nationals’ defense didn’t help.

Their offense was quiet from the fourth inning to the ninth, and two late runs only slightly trimmed a deficit that had stretched against reliever Trevor Rosenthal an inning earlier.

Washington began this sixgame road trip staring down two beatable teams — the Marlins, who are in a rebuild, the Rockies, who are banged-up and struggling — but finished it 2-4 and with an 11-12 overall record.

The Nationals have been bad starters this season, falling to 1-7 in series openers after a loss to the Rockies on Monday. Yet they have mostly been good finishers — Wednesday not included — and are now 6-2 in the final game of

a series. Washington has been within one game of .500, either a game above or below, 95 times since the 2018 season began.

That is the most in the majors — 22 more than the next closest team — and the Nationals have already been 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 9-9, 10-10 and 11-11 this season.

They turned to Sanchez against Rockies ace German Marquez, a 24-year-old who

STICKING AROUND

Scherzer: ‘No setbacks’ Max Scherzer, recovering from a tweaked intercostal muscle in his rib cage, is confident he will make his next scheduled start Friday against the Padres. Washington’s 34-year-old ace suffered the injury while dodging a scorched foul ball in the dugout during the Nationals’ win at the Marlins on Sunday. “No setbacks,” Scherzer said before Tuesday’s game in Denver. (TWP)

entered with a 2.25 ERA in five starts. Marquez cracked first, giving up an RBI double to Jake Noll in the second inning and a two-run homer to Juan Soto in the third. That was Noll’s first career hit, and it came in his fourth plate appearance. He was recalled at the start of the week as Anthony Rendon continues to recover from a left elbow contusion suffered Saturday.

The Rockies’ offense bubbled in the third, starting with Trevor Story’s one-out triple into the leftcenter gap. Story nearly stopped at second until he saw Soto have trouble collecting the ball. That triggered two innings of nonstop hitting for Colorado, which only benefited from more defensive miscues.

These Nationals were built with a $196 million payroll and the goal of being much more than an average team. They still have a lot of time to become that, or more. But the early outlook, after 23 games, two road swings and this lopsided loss, is that there’s a lot to address. Washington is a game below .500, where it has so often rested in the past calendar year, and only consistency can separate the Nationals from what they have become.

Lynch retires again

The Steelers and the two-time Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger agreed to terms on a contract extension Wednesday that will keep the quarterback in Pittsburgh through the 2021 season. Financial terms were not disclosed, but Roethlisberger, 37, figures to get a significant pay bump over the $12 million he was due (with a $23 million cap hit) in 2019. (AP)

Marshawn Lynch retired from the NFL once already, only to return and play the past two seasons for the Raiders.

This time, however, he apparently means it. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported early Wednesday morning that Lynch, who turned 33 on Monday, “is not planning to play football again” after playing in only six games last season because of a groin injury. (TWP)

Ravens kicker Tucker signs 4-year extension Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has agreed to a four-year extension designed to keep him under contract through the 2023 season. Since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2012, Tucker has made 90.1% of his field goal tries — the highest career percentage in NFL history.

He made 35 of 39 tries in 2018, missing only from 53 and 65 yards and getting two blocked.

A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Tucker, 29, is the first kicker in NFL history to produce six seasons with at least 30 field goals. (AP) NFL

Chiefs’ Hill not charged in case of injured toddler A Kansas district attorney has declined to charge Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill with a crime in a domestic incident that involved his fiancee and their 3-year-old child. Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said Wednesday: “We believe a crime has occurred. However, the evidence in this case does not conclusively establish who committed this crime.” Police were called to the home of Hill and Crystal Espinal twice last month, and the investigators said their child had been injured.

Howe said the child was placed in protective care and that there will be “a continued involvement by state officials.” (AP)

A dance party on wheels erupts during recurring special events here: gospel night, adult night, the requisite birthday parties. Arcade games beep in the background as skaters of all ages and skill levels zoom by. Many come for “jam skating,” an entertaining blend of dance, gymnastics and rollerskating. Prices vary, but on family night, held several times a month, admission and skate rental total $10.

On Saturday nights, the line to get in snakes down the block, packed with teens who return weekly for Lit, a glow-in-the-dark skate party. Inside, the lights are dim, a DJ cranks out hip-hop and R&B tunes, and the cafe serves up cotton candy and snow cones. Admission to Lit is $11; skate rental, $4. Other popular events include Dollar Mondays, $2 Tuesday family night and, on the first Friday of every month, gospel night.

A rainbow of LED lights dances across the gleaming hardwood floor. Friday nights are popular with teens; adults tend to favor Saturday evenings.

Cavalier hosts a speed team that competes in in-line racing events across the country — the sport is how many Olympic speedskaters got their start, owner Emily Garner says. The public can drop in and practice with the team for $10 on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Chefs have a reputation for staying out late, but if Pinch & Plate co-founder Eric Adjepong is burning the midnight oil, it’s not because he’s partying — he’s probably up with his 7-month-old daughter. “I’m trying to catch up, since I missed a lot of the pregnancy,” says Adjepong, 31, who came to national attention with his third-place finish on the most recent season of “Top Chef.” “It’s been an interesting adjustment,” says Adjepong, who’s lived in Columbia, Md., for seven months and in the D.C. area for 2½ years. His business, which he created with his wife, Janelle Adjepong, specializes in private dinner parties, but that may change soon. “We’re looking at a brick-and-mortar [location] for sure,” he says. Unsurprisingly, Adjepong would spend a lot of his dream day eating — and there’s only one place that can satisfy any late-night hunger.

My wife has been here for some time, and when I first got here she gave me a proper “this is where you need to be, this is what you need to know” tour, but I’m still green around the ears when it comes to D.C. I’d love to see what The Wharf looked like before all the reconstruction. I used to hear stories of folks telling me about going out there and getting crabs and all the seafood. That’s a snapshot in D.C.’s time that I would like to be around.

I’m a creature of habit, so if I find a spot, I’m usually loyal to it. I head to Maketto a lot; I love the vibe out there, the food is always spot on and there’s always a good energy there.

I would probably go back to Rose’s Luxury — I’ve eaten there twice and was blown away by both experiences.

I have yet to go to Bad Saint; that’s a place I really want to head to.

If I’m out with my friends or my wife and we’re super hungry and it’s late at night, Yum’s Carry-Out on 14th Street always comes through. It’s not the healthiest, but it’s one of those places that’s a staple.

It’s dinnertime … unofficially

Comics will dish it out at their parody of a White House tradition Wolf Blitzer, “because he has a beard, and so do I,” he says.

The event won’t hew to the real dinner’s format, because Kardashian has no idea what actually happens at the dinner.

“It was too boring to watch, and we want to do something entertaining,” he says. The unofficial dinner will take the form of a roast with the comedians, in character, sitting together onstage and taking turns making fun of Trump and one another.

We talked to some of the participants to find out how they’re preparing for their roles.

dozen fellow comedians to put on their own event, the Unofficial Correspondents’ Dinner, at The Comedy Loft of DC on Sunday.

You don’t have to be member of the political elite to go to Kardashian’s show — anyone with a $20 ticket gets a seat at a table.

And while The Donald is skipping the real correspondents’ dinner, he will be at the unofficial one … sorta. Comedian Brock Snyder will be channeling the commander in chief. The rest of the impressive guest list includes Barack Obama (played by Haywood Turnipseed Jr.), Melania Trump (Elena Torres), Bernie Sanders (Chris Lawrence) and Kim Jong Un (Lisan Wood). As for Kardashian, he’ll be hosting the evening in the guise of CNN’s

Donald Trump (Brock Snyder) and Wolf Blitzer (Tim Kardashian) square off.

Haywood Turnipseed Jr. as Barack Obama

A telenovela actress and comedian, Torres has been obsessed with the first lady since the 2016 election. “I was very drawn to her because she’s probably angrier than we all about Trump winning,” she says. With a little help from Etsy, Torres has put together a convincing replica of the outfit Melania Trump wore to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

“She got so much s--- for wearing heels to help hurricane victims. But if you look closely, those were patent leather heels. Patent leather is water-resistant. That is her hurricanevictim-helping gear.”

Turnipseed came up with a version of Obama that would work with the comedian’s trademark dreadlocks and beard.

“He’s full-on back to Hawaii and we haven’t seen him for a while,” Turnipseed says. “It’s Clone Barack we’ve been seeing, in the mom jeans walking around. The real Barack is chilling in some socks and sandals and shorts, kicking it on the beach,” he says. Turnipseed’s Obama is also a big fan of marijuana legalization and may roll some (simulated) blunts onstage.

“You’re going to roll back Obamacare? Well, I’m going to roll back some weed,” he says. “Obama cares for himself now.”

ASHLEY MATHIEU

Elena Torres as Melania Trump

Brock Snyder as Donald Trump

Lisan Wood as Kim Jong Un

“I got married in October, so I’ve been working on my Trump physique for months now, pounding the Big Macs,” Snyder says. A high-energy host, Snyder has found it easy to channel the president’s bloviating speech and penchant for non sequiturs. “He just speaks whatever comes into his head,” Snyder says. “He’s the loudest, most obnoxious voice in the room, and if you know me, that’s not too much of a stretch.”

While he’s working hard on his impression, Snyder hopes it’s not too big of a hit. “God forbid people start saying, ‘Please do this at my birthday party,’ and now I’m playing Trump everywhere. I will jump off a bridge if that happens.”

Wood, who is Korean American, doesn’t look like the North Korean leader, and she’s not really going to try. “I’m not necessarily going to be doing an impression. My version of Kim Jong Un is going to really be about how people view Asians in society,” she says. By phoning in her Kim, Wood will play on the tendencies among white people “to think Asians look alike” and to “feminize Asian men,” she says. As far as her material goes, Wood’s Kim is going to be broadly supportive of Trump and save his sharpest barbs for Hillary Clinton (who will be played by Rose Vineshank). “He’s mad because Hillary Clinton copied his look,” Wood says.

COMEDY President Trump is right about one thing, according to Crofton, Md.-based comedian Tim Kardashian: The White House correspondents’ dinner is a real snoozefest. Kardashian tried to watch it on C-SPAN last year and fell asleep minutes in.

“The only good part is the comedian’s speech, and they are taking that away this year,” he says.

When Kardashian heard that the White House Correspondents’ Association had tapped historian Ron Chernow instead of an entertainer to deliver the keynote address at this year’s dinner on Saturday, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Kardashian drafted a

HUMANE RESCUE ALLIANCE

In love and war, what will you stand for?

Tosca

More than 100 adoptable cats will be on display in the Humane Rescue Alliance’s adoption vehicles at Meow DC.

That’s a lot of cats KAREN MCGILL

FESTIVALS From yappy hours to Chihuahua races, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some kind of dog-focused event in D.C. That’s why Emily Miller, director of special events for the Humane Rescue Alliance, decided to create Meow DC, an annual festival for feline fanatics — one where ticket proceeds will go toward the alliance’s mission of helping homeless pets.

“Meow DC is a place for cat people to get together and celebrate all things cat,” Miller says of the inaugural event, which will be held Saturday at Dock 5 at Union Market. “It’s also going to be the largest cat adoption event in the region.”

Vehicles are trucking in more than 100 adoptable cats to the Dock 5 parking lot because the venue doesn’t allow cats indoors.

The specialized RVs have big windows that allow people to see the cats from outside. If you want some one-on-one time with a particular cat, you’re welcome to step inside, Miller says.

entrance will house Meow DC’s two celebrity cats — Sunglass Cat and Coco the Couture Cat. An Instagram star with over half a million followers, Sunglass Cat will be taking pictures with fans for $15, which will go to the alliance. Coco, a Cornish Rex who gets around in a pink “Catillac,” will be paw-tographing copies of the book “The Adventures of Coco le Chat: The World’s Most Fashionable Feline.”

With all the felines relegated to the parking lot, what’s inside the event? A veritable meow-tain of activities, Miller says.

“Come walk the exhibit floor and learn all about things like kitten season and fostering, the D.C. cat count, and how to create an outdoor cat shelter,” she says.

“We’ve got a whole corner with activities dedicated to child cat enthusiasts, with a face-painting booth, two photo booths and a cat ear headband-making station.”

There’ll also be a vendor area featuring purr-veyors of cat art, cat books, cat zodiac keychains and other products for cats and their humans.

Meow DC has basically everything a cat person could ever want, but it’s not a suitable place for your pets.

“Please do not bring your cats,” Miller says. “You can tell them all about it when you get home.”

Pimlico Race Course, 5201 Park Heights Ave., Baltimore; May 18, $79.

Don’t miss: Worriers, a standout at last year’s festival, return to headline the final night. The Brooklyn-based band’s songs orbit around the storytelling of Lauren Denitzio, whose lyrics grapple with identity and belonging. H.C.

HAU CHU AND CHRIS RICHARDS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Fifth Street Beach Stage, Virginia Beach, Va.; Fri.-Sun., sold out.

One of the most omnipresent figures in 21st-century music, Pharrell Williams seems to be wondering, “What else can I do?” Maybe that’s why he’s throwing this new pop festival in his native Virginia Beach, where he has packed the lineup with Virginia-born acts, including Missy Elliott, Dave Matthews Band, Pusha T and Dram. On top of that, he’s headlining with a career-spanning set dotted with guest performances from Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Diddy and Usher.

Don’t miss: Some of the fest’s biggest names — Janelle Monáe, SZA — owe a debt to the music of Teddy Riley, the creator of new jack swing and the founder of Blackstreet and Guy. He doesn’t do a lot of festivals, so his set should be special. C.R.

FedEx Field, 1600 FedEx Way, Landover, Md.; Fri. & Sat., $55.50 (Friday only), $99.50 (Saturday only), $150.50-$375.50 (multiday pass).

As ever, the seventh annual Broccoli City Festival will celebrate wellness, social justice and community entrepreneurship with help from some of the biggest names in hiphop and R&B. It’s been heartening to see the festival grow so quickly, from its early years at St. Elizabeths East Gateway Pavilion, to last year’s bash outside RFK Stadium, to this year’s iteration at FedEx Field. This year’s headliners are proportionally big: Grammy winner Childish Gambino and rap legend Lil Wayne.

Don’t miss: Phil Ade, the determined young DMV rap journeyman, is back with a truncated stage name — ADÉ — a deal with Epic Records and the most stylish recording of his career, the sharp EP “Always Something.” C.R.

Druid Hill Park, 900 Druid Park Lake Drive, Baltimore; Fri. & Sat., $32 (Friday only), $52 (Saturday only), $72 (multiday pass).

Baltimore showcases its love for bluegrass at this homegrown festival, now in its seventh year.

The two-day, family-friendly event in Druid Hill Park features a pair of stages packed with bluegrass acts, including Friday’s headliners, Jeff Austin Band; Town Mountain; local legends The Seldom Scene; and Steve Martin’s backing band, Steep Canyon Rangers. Saturday’s closer, however, is a reunion of hometown jam band The Bridge, whose guitarist, Cris Jacobs, has frequently played the festival in the past.

Don’t miss: John McCauley’s often grunge-y band Deer Tick may seem like an odd fit for a bluegrass festival, but the alt rock group has been stripping things down of late, such as on 2017’s pair of self-titled albums and the song “Baltimore Blues No. 1,” one you’d hope will be on the Charm City setlist.

scene, with four stages of acts that lean folksy, such as 2019 headliners Dustbowl Revival and The Ballroom Thieves. Founded in 2010 to raise awareness about the park — and funds for Living Classrooms — the family-friendly event prides itself on nurturing regional talent, which this year includes D.C. soul band Oh He Dead, Virginia folk act Wild Common and Baltimore roots trio Wicked Sycamore. If you’ve never

been, you might discover your new favorite local band — or a side of Washington you’ve never seen.

Don’t miss: Singer-songwriter Odetta Hartman was a breakout performer last year, playing short sets between acts. This year, she’ll get a full set with drummer Alex Freedom, playing songs from last year’s “Old Rockhounds Never Die,” an album of odd but enchanting folk tunes. R.G.

Something in the Water

Wading through the chaotic mass of bodies crammed in the middle of Pimlico’s racetrack on Preakness Day is almost a rite of passage for a particular set of area youths, but the formal InfieldFest began only at the start of this decade. This festival draws some of the music world’s biggest names; previous years featured country act Zac Brown Band and Post Malone, rap’s lightning rod. This year’s lineup includes a DJ set from Diplo and a performance from Maryland’s own Logic.

Don’t miss: Juice WRLD has captivated young listeners with his hypnotic blending of emo and poppunk with rap and hip-hop. It sounds weird on paper, but when you see the teens losing their minds over the stunted, singsong hook of “Lucid Dreams,” it all makes sense. H.C.

KYLE GUSTAFSON (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

For outdoorsy music freaks, “festival season” and “summertime” used to be synonymous. But as the American touring circuit grows more and more crowded on a rapidly warming planet, the start of the music festival season has been bumped up to spring. This year, big concerts seem to be popping up like daffodils, with more than half of the region’s most promising festivals taking place before Memorial Day. The styles of music at these mega-shows run the gamut — there’s pop, punk, rap, bluegrass — but don’t get overwhelmed. We’ve compiled a list of the area’s best festivals of the spring (and summer) and the notable artists you shouldn’t miss. RUDI GREENBERG AND STEPHANIE WILLIAMS (EXPRESS);

On with the fests

JONATHAN NEWTON (THE WASHINGTON POST)

It’s hard to tell exactly where this upstart festival is headed, but the fact that it’s still around after three years makes it old by D.C. punk standards. Local quartet American Television created it to showcase some of the band’s overlooked, nationally touring pop-punk brethren alongside a mix of local acts. This year’s edition follows that same recipe with Chicago emorockers Kali Masi and hometown heroes Homosuperior but finds a new home at Pie Shop. The H Street bar has become a low-key hot spot to catch an eclectic selection of what the city has to offer.

Allegany County Fairgrounds, 11400 Moss Ave., Cumberland, Md.; May 23-26, $50-$70 (singleday pass), $145.50-$235.50 (multiday pass).

For many attendees, bluegrass legend Del McCoury’s annual DelFest is like a family reunion, a Memorial Day getaway full of banjos, mandolins and other string instruments. While the festival is a bluegrass lover’s dream, it’s also expanded in recent years with acts that are a bit more eclectic. The traditional side of this year’s lineup includes sets from McCoury’s sons, the Travelin’ McCourys; Billy Strings; and Sam Bush. The more eclectic side includes veteran jam band The String Cheese Incident, indie-folk trio I’m With Her and rising Southern rock act The Marcus King Band.

Don’t miss: Tyler Childers’ music sounds like country, with its clever lyrics, big hooks and noticeable twang. But there’s an electric edge on 2017’s “Purgatory” — courtesy of co-producer Sturgill Simpson — that puts the singer-songwriter in a class with Margo Price and Jason Isbell. R.G.

DC JazzFest It’s been two years since the closing of Bohemian Caverns, but D.C.’s jazz scene is still thriving, despite the loss of the hallmark venue.

The sheer scope of the 15th annual DC JazzFest is a testament to the community’s resilience, with more than 40 acts performing around the District over 11 days. Snarky Puppy, Jon Batiste and more big-name draws are in the lineup, but the cornerstones of the festival are the local acts, such as the Nag Champa Art Ensemble, Mark G. Meadows and Herb Scott.

Don’t miss: The June 7 show by trombonist Shannon Gunn & the Bullettes at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden is an opportunity to see some of the talented women of the city’s jazz community. S.W.

Firefly Dover International Speedway, 1131 N. Dupont Highway, Dover, Del.; June 21-23, $119 (single-day pass), $309 (multiday pass).

If you want a classic festival experience without being marooned in the woods of Tennessee or paying top dollar to venture into the California desert, point your car toward Delaware.

This 7-year-old event brings topflight acts to Dover International Speedway. This year’s headlining sets include Super Bowl halftime show-stealer Travis Scott and the most interesting band in rock, Vampire Weekend. Firefly has some quirky attractions, but the annual standout is its collaboration with Dogfish Head Brewery (from nearby town Milton), which crafts Firefly Ale for the occasion.

Don’t miss: Two buzzy acts with Baltimore connections get a spotlight: indie rock darling Snail Mail and underground hip-hop artist JPEGMAFIA. Known as “Peggy” by his fans, the rapper, now based in L.A., made his bones in Charm City with his raw, politically punchy rhymes. H.C.

Immigrant & Refugee Music Festival Echostage, 2135 Queens Chapel Road NE; July 6, $39.99.

Scheduled a few days after the Fourth of July, this inaugural afternoon-into-evening festival is sending a patriotic message by celebrating “musicians of immigrant descent,” with a portion of the ticket proceeds going to the International Rescue Committee. At the top of the bill is Washington’s own Tabi Bonney, a rapper whose musical roots cross generations and oceans: Tabi’s late father, Itadi Bonney, was one of the biggest music stars of his native Togo.

Don’t miss: To say that Layla Khepri’s music spans the gap between rap and R&B isn’t quite right. It’s more that her rhymed sneers and lullabies push in various directions. Here’s a chance to see where Khepri — a proud Filipino who was raised here in Prince George’s County — might be headed next. C.R.

Moonrise Pimlico Race Course, 5201 Park Heights Ave., Baltimore; Aug. 10 & 11, $149.50-$239.50 (two-day pass).

The rise and spread of EDM over the past decade has been matched only by the rise of festivals/clubs/ carnivals aimed at overstimulating the dance-crazed. Take Moonrise, another music festival that calls Pimlico home. While InfieldFest tries

to deliver a sort of party mayhem, attendees of Moonrise are more fixated on the booming bass drops and the torrent of strobe lights in all colors of the neon rainbow.

Past festivals have featured a deep who’s who of the electronic scene, including Tiesto and Zedd, along with some of rap’s biggest names, such as Vince Staples and Migos.

Don’t miss: As of press time, Moonrise had not released this year’s full lineup. H.C.

Lockn’ Festival Infinity Downs and Oak Ridge Farm, 1510 Diggs Mountain Road, Arrington, Va.; Aug. 22-25, $259 (three-day pass), $289 (four-day pass).

Step onto the grounds of Lockn’ and you’ll feel like you’re at a Grateful Dead concert: Tie-dye, skulls and the music of the iconic jam band are everywhere. This year, guitarist Bob Weir’s newest group, Wolf Bros, will fly the Dead’s freak flag along with sets from his Dead & Company bandmate Oteil Burbridge’s Oteil & Friends and high-octane tribute act Joe Russo’s Almost Dead.

Collaborations are another hallmark of this annual four-day camping fest: Guitarists Trey Anastasio and Derek Trucks plan to swap sit-ins for their headlining sets with Trey Anastasio Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Don’t miss: When Khruangbin first played Lockn’ in 2016, the band was a little-known curiosity. The trio has since toured the world, opened for Leon Bridges and released last year’s “Con Todo el Mundo,” which expanded the band’s laid-back, groove-based funk-rock sound. R.G.

A convention that’s bigger on the inside Awesome Con is back with wall-to-wall celebrities, gaming and comic book fun ETC… Around 80,000 comic book and sci-fi nerds are expected to show up at Awesome Con, the local version of Comic-Con, this weekend.

At least three distinguished office employees will be there, too.

Oscar Nuñez, Kate Flannery and Creed Bratton — who played Oscar, Meredith and Creed, respectively, on NBC’s longrunning series “The Office” — are among the 100-plus celebrity

guests participating in this year’s convention. “We keep telling everyone the accountants are coming down from Scranton to do an audit of the show,” says Ron Brister, vice president of events at LeftField Media, the company behind Awesome Con. Jokes aside, the annual convention, which kicks off its seventh iteration on Friday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, has cultivated a diverse

lineup that will appeal to almost anyone who’s interested in pop culture. So if you don’t know what a TARDIS is, or the difference between “Star Wars” and “Star Trek,” Awesome Con could still be, well, an awesome experience.

“We’ve got the lowbrow to the highbrow, and everything in between: high-level science and tech to your traditional comic publishers, like DC Comics,” Brister says.

The three-day convention includes dozens of panels, cosplay workshops, celebrity autograph and photo-op sessions (which come at an additional cost), and gaming tournaments. “Weird Al” Yankovic and Milo Ventimiglia RSVP’d “yes”; there’s a short film festival; and a live art competition is being heralded as “the greatest in the known universe.”

Fandoms rule at Awesome Con, and Friday’s programming includes a panel that examines being a fan in the digital age — this weird, unique time when our relationships with our favorite

stars are no longer one-sided.

Other opening-day panels explore politics in “Doctor Who,” what it takes to relaunch a beloved TV show, and the biblical background and plot devices used in the fantasy novel “Good Omens.”

Saturday sessions include a primer on writing with purpose and an examination of how Latinx, Asian and other often marginalized communities are (or aren’t) depicted in pop culture. And on Sunday, the Harry Potter Alliance’s D.C. chapter will discuss how fandom can fuel activism, while another panel will examine how TV and film are growing beyond tropes like the manic pixie dream girl.

Brister highlights the weekend’s Future Con programming, a collaboration with Smithsonian magazine, as further evidence of the convention’s broad appeal.

“If you’re a tech-y person but not necessarily a scientist, you can go down on the show floor and meet people from NASA, from the CIA, and have conversations

about things that maybe you care about more than comics,” he says. Future Con exhibitors include National Geographic and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum; NASA engineers will discuss how robots are used in space, and another panel will explore how pop culture can be infused into STEM education.

Awesome Con attracts an international audience and guests of all ages: Brister muses that his parents would be interested in seeing Lou Ferrigno, who portrayed the Hulk in a 1977-82 TV series, while the toy-heavy Awesome Con Jr. is geared toward kids and families. There, cartoonist John Gallagher will instruct on the fine art of drawing Lego versions of popular characters, and designer Carolyn Belefski will guide kids on how to design their own superhero symbol.

Many attendees are expected to don elaborate costumes, as the convention tends to be a cosplay bonanza. But no pressure; Brister doesn’t dress up, and observing

Fri. STAGE

‘Jubilee’ Fisk University’s African American a cappella group, Fisk Jubilee Singers, initially formed in the late 1800s to tour and raise money for the Nashville school. But the first leg of the singers’ trek around America blossomed into more than just a fundraiser — it was an event that broke down racial barriers.

Now playwright and director Tazewell Thompson is bringing the ensemble’s story to the stage with this world-premiere musical.

Arena Stage, 1101 Sixth St. SW; Fri. through June 2, $92-$125.

Sat. MUSIC

Cassadee Pope Cassadee Pope was quickly thrust into the spotlight after she was crowned “The Voice’s” first female winner in 2012, but she slowly became a blip in the world of country music following her majorlabel debut the next year. “Stages,” Pope’s first full-length album in

SUNDAY

Kali Uchis and Jorja Smith The Anthem, 901 Wharf St. SW; Sun., 8 p.m., $45.

Kali Uchis, above left, and Jorja Smith, above right, have seemingly been on the same upward career trajectory since they released their joint single “Tyrant” in 2017. Each of them released a solid debut album the following year that straddled the line between future-forward R&B grooves and infectious pop. Their visibility grew even more with their appearances at Coachella last year. Now, the duo have come full circle, teaming up for a full-scale joint tour that features Uchis and Smith each performing their biggest D.C. show yet.

Last year, D.C. got a rosé of its own from District Winery — the first wine legally fermented in the city since Prohibition. The second vintage is about to be released, which calls for a party. Tickets include samples of rosé and two yet-to-be-bottled selections, plus hors d’oeuvres and live music. District Winery, 385 Water St. SE; Sun., noon-3 p.m., 5-8 p.m., $69.

MUSIC

Girlpool Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad’s 2015 debut as Girlpool, “Before the World Was Big,” and this year’s “What Chaos Is Imaginary” sound worlds apart. One big change: Tucker’s vocals, which have deepened since Tucker came out as transgender in 2017. This is the band’s first record since Tucker’s transition, presenting a sharp contrast in the duo’s harmonies that adds a new layer to Girlpool’s shoegaze-meets-dream pop sound. Black Cat, 1811 14th St. NW; Sun., 7:30 p.m., $18-$20.

One of the highlights of this year’s Filmfest DC is the local premiere of “DC Noir,” which screenwriter (and novelist) George Pelecanos calls an “all-D.C. production.” Pelecanos, known for his work on HBO’s “The Wire,” adapted the 2006 crime anthology “D.C. Noir” — which he edited — for the screen, and the movie was filmed entirely in the District. The international film fest will also feature movies devoted to the arts and to social justice, and Foodflix, a selection of films about chefs around the globe. Various

Smithsonian Craft Show National Building Museum, 401 F St. NW; Thu.-Sun., various times, $20.

Don’t let “craft” trip you up — the stuff on display at the Smithsonian’s annual show isn’t amateur pieces you’d find at a flea market. This is a juried showcase of fine contemporary artworks — ceramics, decorative fiber, furniture, glass, leather, wearable art, jewelry and more — from 120 artists.

Visitors can view and purchase all pieces on-site.

The 2011 Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan inspired British playwright Lucy Kirkwood’s thriller of a play. In the aftermath of a similar catastrophe, a pair of retired nuclear physicists tend to their isolated seaside cottage in England while awaiting clearance from the government to return to their lives. The arrival of an unexpected visitor throws a wrench in their plans. Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; Wed. through June 2, $20-$97.

entertainment CHRIS RICHARDS | THE WASHINGTON POST

Singing a different tune: Why I’m so against podcasts happening. While radio continues to blast out across the world, podcasts deliver warm human voices through our little AirPods, creating a highly intimate listening experience.

We often engage with recorded music the very same way.

Is that why my revulsion with most podcasts feels so personal? Why does an experience so inherently intimate feel so alienating to me?

Podcasts are bad because podcasts sound bad — and podcasts sound bad because podcasters aren’t thinking hard enough about what their talk sounds like. Forget the lousy microphones and the dinky interstitial stock music — the thing that derails most podcasts is the blab. There are two kinds, more or less. The first is that soft, inquisitive staccato popularized by Ira Glass on “This American Life.” The second mode is performative in a different way — a tone that people use at parties when they want to be heard by people that they aren’t necessarily talking to. And it’s pretty much one or the other. Be podcasted to in a cozy, overly considered way, or be podcasted at in a hastier, less-considered way.

We should be listening to

Lincoln gets a revised love life in new novel

IGOR BASTIDAS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

I’m about to kick a hornet’s nest — and if this were a podcast, you would now hear the crunch of a boot perforating a hive, followed by the intensifying hum of inconvenienced hornets. But, fortunately, this isn’t a podcast, so my punt shall remain silent, and here it is: I’m against podcasts.

I think they’re tedious and samey and sedative, and when I’m feeling especially cranky, I consider them an enemy of music. Most podcasts are conversations for people to eavesdrop on — recorded talk that precludes real-life talk. Also, I like music. With all of the world’s unheard songs beckoning us with their endless mystery, why would anyone choose to waste their precious listening hours on a podcast?

Asking that question makes me feel very alone. In a March cover story, New York Magazine called the podcast “the most significant and exciting cultural innovation of the new century.” I’m anxious about music ceding time and turf to the rise of “big podcast,” but I think I understand why it’s

podcasts with the same discerning, variety-craving ears that we apply to music. Is that so outrageous of a demand?

It might be. I recently found myself at an impromptu dinner with some strange friends and some friendly strangers, and when I told the group that I was “against podcasts,” it was as if I had taken up against babies, ice cream or low humidity.

One person wondered why the sound of a podcast matters in the first place. He said that he enjoys listening to news podcasts on his commute, and, sonically, he really only needed these things to be intelligible.

I guess we don’t need podcasts to be anything more than that, but we should want them to be. I keep coming back to the lessons that animate Krukowski’s “Ways of Hearing.” Experience is information. Noise is signal. Sounds have meaning.

If the greatest days of podcasting are still ahead of us — and they must be — I think they’ll be ruled by the pod-people who understand that.

Or maybe just this: Whatever asks for our most attentive listening should aspire to be the most worthy of it.

“Big screen, small screen — what really matters to me is a great story and everyone should have access to great stories.”

STEVEN SPIELBERG, in an interview with The New York Times. The director has previously said that he thinks films from streaming platforms should not be eligible to win Academy Awards. “I want to see the survival of movie theaters,” he added.

Variety: Leonardo DiCaprio in talks for Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley”

Ben Affleck to direct, star in WWII film “Ghost Army”

BOOK REVIEW There’s pillow talk in “Courting Mr. Lincoln,” Louis Bayard’s speculative-history novel released Tuesday, but it doesn’t take place between the man who would become a U.S. president and his wife, Mary Todd. These imagined tete-atetes are between Lincoln and Joshua Speed, the man long rumored to be his lover.

Bayard has written eight other novels, and he’s extraordinarily gifted at blending provocative fiction with history. The idea that Lincoln was gay has never been substantiated, and the evidence is weak. But in “Courting Mr. Lincoln,” Bayard imagines a sensitive story about two men who were the best of friends and maybe more.

The novel begins in 1839 and takes place mostly before Lincoln was president. It’s told from Mary and Speed’s perspectives, and both paint Lincoln as a socially inept but kind man of few words.

In one scene, Lincoln and Speed are taking a walk when Lincoln throws his arm around his friend and says: “I do not lie, Speed. Meeting you was the greatest fortune that ever befell me.” Later that night, while they are lying in bed, Speed asks, “Did you mean what you said?”

Lincoln replies, “Did I mean what, Speed?” It’s these ambiguous scenes that make this book so arresting, even if it never teeters toward debunking or proving anything. CAROL MEMMOTT (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are eager to make a good first impression, but take care that you don’t overdo it where charm is concerned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may have to compromise today, but that doesn’t mean you have to abandon your principles altogether.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may find yourself in a situation that challenges you in a way you’ve not been challenged before. You may have to break your own rules.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

Forecast

By Capital Weather Gang

POOCH CAFE | PAUL GILLIGAN

70 | 55 TODAY: Skies turn partly to mostly cloudy with a warm front nearby, and we could see a few showers.

Temperatures trend a bit cooler with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Scattered showers seem likely tonight, possibly with a thunderstorm, as low pressure lumbers through the area. Lows settle in the 50s to near 60.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You

know just where your sweet spot is, and you can arrange to have every ball come to you so you can hit it out of the park.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone may be speaking to you in a way that is vaguely familiar but difficult to decipher. By day’s end you’ll know what the message is.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You know more about what’s going on than most, but they’re not likely to listen to you when you offer your opinions until it’s almost too late.

Diddy said that after her death, “My kids come before anything else in my life.”

Jennifer Garner graces the front of this year’s “Beautiful Issue” of People magazine. The Texas-born, West Virginiaraised Garner, 47, said that when she arrives home from a fancy photo shoot, her kids object to her glam get-up and want their mother back. “They’ll look at me and say, ‘Can you wash your face? Can you put your hair in a ponytail and put your glasses and sweats on?’ ” Garner said. “And I see the compliment in that. They just want me to look like mom.” Last year the magazine rebranded its “Most Beautiful” issue as “The Beautiful Issue.” (AP)
