I tried to ride the bus today because it's 28° outside but @mta.maryland.gov decided that 40 minutes until the next bus at 7am was good enough™ so I just rode my bike instead

🥱🫡 Looking forward to seeing that they won in the AM.

Is Ron on Bob’s Burgers just Beavis all grown up?

I never much cared for the U.S. Congress when it existed, but now I miss it.

Baltimore folks: the Savers in Parkville got a dump of high end shoes either brand new or very lightly used. Johnstone and Murphy, Clarks, Born, Sorel, etc. Mostly smaller sizes but some 8-9-10s. Sadly, the most lovely pair of La Canadienne boots in forest green were a 5.5.

Rocket Money but for automatically identifying all of last year’s charitable donations.

“The legal authority for the attack…was not immediately clear.”

What's the line from Citizen Kane? "It's no trick to make a lot of money, if all you want to do is make a lot of money"

Some words of wisdom from T.S. Eliot to start the new year.

"Then a decade ago, a state-funded $1 billion program called 21st Century School allowed the city to renovate and construct about 27 schools.

Well the modern world is not so bad Not like the students say In fact I'd be in heaven If you'd share the modern world with me Put down the cigarette And share the modern world with me

I’m just looking forward to watching the Pritzker show.

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”

Hop everyone had a great Boxing Day

When I came out of church Xmas eve on Park Ave. in Bolton Hill, a DOT person was writing a ticket for a car parked across the street.

"Full as a fat lad's sock" - I think it was F1’s Natalie Pinkham I heard that from on tv. (Added pecan & cinnamon to the graham cracker crust.)

Julia Child voice: “roll with the punches!” 10+lb rib roast ready to go in the oven on Xmas day, preheating and waiting waiting waiting & realize oven’s broken. It’s at a relative’s house roasting now. 😬🤬😤🤨🙃😃
