“Albania’s hard to rhyme.”

Just sent an email to my council person. Would be nice if people just did their jobs so I didn't have to contact my reps all the time. I'd be less annoyed if my requests were just left open and not done than the fact that they're closing them without fixing the problem.

Update: I'm working on legislation to ban corrupt and destabilizing prediction markets, where insiders who know the outcome (especially in government) can rig the game to favor certain bets.

“Increasing our temporal bandwidth helps us address the condition of frenetic standstill by slowing us down and at the same time giving us more freedom of movement. It is a balm for agitated souls.” I come back to this one a lot. harpers.org/archive/2020...

“A spokesman for Mayor Brandon Scott said Thursday that closing the office to the public one day a week is another step toward elevating the permitting process in Baltimore.”

Dear Lord. A pair of pretty ordinary strivers could take a shot at that price.

A few years ago a group of Bolton Hillers met with a city councilman and were told a raised crosswalk to make a park safer and more accessible for kids was cost prohibitive, because it could run $80k.

Maryland lawmakers Dels. Ryan Nawrocki (R-7A) & Vaughn Stewart have introduced legislation protecting independence of inspectors general, clarifying access to records needed for official investigations through subpoenas, not public information requests.

Still really, really good & affordable weeknight option👇🏼

What do we call what’s going on in the US? A Cold Civil War?

Posted about it earlier but an Altima with VA paper plates rode my ass on Walther Ave before eventually using the bike/parking lane to pass me. Because of course

Downtown Baltimore has precise boundaries. But what counts as downtown depends on how far away you are when you refer to it. If you’re in White Marsh and on your way to Harbor East it’s fair to say “I’m going downtown.”

Downtown is a state of mind. (So many good Duff quotes in this story.)

26 year-old who moved in to Roland Park has opinions about how Fells Point should be considered part of downtown. okay.
