So I wrote about the Baltimore potholes, because yikes. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

A Complimentary Profile Of Jason Lee That Was Surprisingly Difficult To Publish Via Defector

Hilary Duff spoke out about Ashley Tisdale's mom group essay. Remember when I wrote about such groups in @thebaltimorebanner.com ? Good times. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

As a Baltimorean I am excited by all of the art, theater and music that’s coming here after canceling in DC. But I was struck by a @thebaltimorebanner.com reader who said “Baltimore can be the new DC.” But I want Baltimore to be the new Baltimore. We are special. Local artists so much…what say you?

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

A reminder that white nationalism isn't just abhorrent, it's stupid.

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”

Are you a BGE customer who has budgeted to be gobsmacked at your current bill? Asking for a @thebaltimorebanner.com columnist who is me.

Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo went to work function and got slurred at the job. And this discourse because there is an underlying belief that they should be happy to be there. And we know this because people are creating an atmosphere to manage their emotions before they’ve expressed them.

In today's @thebaltimorebanner.com I explain why I won't be dating an AI. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Quite apart from politics, which is how so many blinkered people see this issue, no reporter at your local school committee board or town council meeting means no one is watching when someone’s brother-in-law gets a no-bid contract. The increase in penny ante corruption must be breathtaking.

That’s gonna be a no from us, dawg.

Wrote about hidden Black History in Baltimore with a local historian about how much more you are connected with a story if you can breathe the air where it happened. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Veggie update: it might be a white sweet potato so I roasted it with olive oil and rosemary with marinara. Real good.

Writing a @thebaltimorebanner.com column about dating and emotional involvement with AIs, based on a colleague's story about a Baltimore-based company's offering. Looking for people who use such AI or therapists who can tell me why these are attractive. www.thebanner.com/economy/nomi...

I got this root vegetable in my CSA box today. Anyone know what this is?

@lesliegraystreeter.bsky.social: Sotto Sopra’s dress code causes chatter but makes sense to me

I’ll be on @wypr.bsky.social at noon as your guest Midday host talking about Valentines Day and modern love!

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

This photo won’t go away quickly.

Here's my take on the now-infamous Governor's meeting. Why was Wes Moore uninvited? You know why.

How much could one nanny cost to employ, Michael? A million dollars?

I went for a run this morning in the icy cold because I have a race next month and the Snowmaggedon slowed my training down somewhat. It’s relatively warm today! 😂

And I bet the songs aren’t in English! And they will be just fine.

I posted one photo of me in a Morticia Addams wig on Hinge and am now deleting every man who likes that photo and none of me in my short natural hair because they want someone who isn’t me. And I don’t have time to explain it.

My @thebaltimorebanner.com column about mom groups, inspired by the Ashley Tisdale Hollywood mom drama! They seem to be a good thing, with some cautions. Humans in groups can be weird. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Baltimore: Where should I order Puerto Rican food from for the #SuperBowl?

So far it seems like the mainstream media is mostly ignoring Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes

I watched @markhamillofficial.bsky.social whistle Gershwin with a stinking gargoyle as a kid on #themuppetshow so it was not a kid show. It was to funny adults and their kids they hoped didn’t understand the suggestive stuff but asked “Who is Gershwin? Who is Arlo Guthrie? What is Prohibition?”

I wrote about how the closure of #thebrewersart reminds you to visit your local iconic businesses before you can't anymore. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

My guitar teacher is so pleased that my videos prove I’m actually practicing!!! Thanks for your encouragement.

So here is my attempt at my top 5 favorite song by my creative muse and favorite band. I’m trying y’all. Guitar journey keeps journeying. @crowdedhouse.com

That is the stance Hannity always has - hands up in belligerent anger, mouth open to talk over you incessantly until you shut up. Doesn’t matter what you say - he means to shut you up.

straight up Gestapo shit

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

My pal Josh Cohen sent me this photo today that he took 11 years ago tomorrow. It’s my husband Scott and our baby at South Florida Fair. Scott died 6th months later and Brooks has no organic memories of him. Photos like this make it real. Thank you.

Good night

DHS & ICE must stop terrorizing communities and trampling on the Constitution. I voted NO on ICE funding. The Senate must do the same.

They won’t. But we remember.

Watching the Disney “Robin Hood” and reminded that he was the resistance.

Have them on the broadcast! Let them say it with their full chest and put their name and face on it.

So overwhelmed by the kindness of everyone who liked my guitar video yesterday. That song, Kacey Musgrave’s “Rainbow,” became a favorite during COVID lockdown but I was too overwhelmed emotionally to sing the chorus without tears. I needed to learn it now because we have much to survive. Thanks.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Anti-Somali smear artist Nick Shirley has been sniffing around Baltimore. Starve his lie machine.

I don’t want to have deep analysis Everybody stop being mean Feed everyone Make sure they are loved Solve problems Good talk

Don't let them.

AOC: "In directing this around Mayor Wray and Gov. Walz, claiming they are 'inciting,' Noem is equating disagreement with incitement ... she is laying the groundwork for the Insurrection Act ... they are taking issue with the people of Minnesota who have duly elected their own elected officials"
