I’d love to see the look on Chuck Schumer’s face right now

A promise of a future vote is nothing. Even if they actually have the vote, you’ll just lose. Make them extend the tax credits first and pass a budget afterwards.

Hell yeah

‘Speaking of legacy homeowners, Jones remarked that “they deserve more than just parking requirements to protect them, and if that’s the only thing we have to protect them, then shame on us.”’ Couldn’t have said it better myself

If you check the language presented to voters, it looks like garbage. For example, they asked about age verification for looking at porn. They told respondents that Dems support age verification and Reps are against it, but if you actually look up which states have those laws, they’re all red!

To summarize, we’ve got: * City agencies don’t have a problem with this and Floyd thinks they should * ADUs are a concept * No more density When exactly do we get to the “better way”?

You know what your neighbors could legally do now that would block your sun? Plant a tree.

You’d think after all these years being vegan I would stop feeling the need to specify soy milk on the grocery list that no one looks at besides me and yet

Legal liability aside the transcripts would be a gold mine for defense attorneys

Would you like to see the most dogs you’ve ever seen in your life? Come to BARCStoberfest

Blue cities get a lot of undeserved flack for having effectively one party (usually from angry republicans), but I think one real downside is that it leaves us unequipped to understand the actual conflicts that dominate city politics

I get that this is an op-ed, but there have to be higher standards than two people pretending to have a conversation without checking whether anything they say is true

Hey @baltimorebrew.bsky.social, why does this article only quote residents opposed to the bills?

Wanted to ask him some questions and noticed that instead of using a campaign website, his emails are from riceconsultingllc dot com Cmon dude, this is embarrassing

Disappointing campaign announcement email from Conway: “I’m running for office and I’ll figure out why my district wants me to run later”

Alsobrooks continuing to be an embarrassment

Just finished @swordsjew.bsky.social’s Wild Faith and feeling renewed anger at the evils that the Christian right are wreaking on our country and our communities

Hit a new deadlift pr tonight (325) Feels good to be lifting heavy again

David Smith really is hell-bent on making the Banner the paper of record in Baltimore, isn’t he

This becomes really obvious when they get to trans people. They argue it’s unnatural to have women’s sports be for “females or persons who identify as female” because that’s more words than “female”

Not only are these people incredibly transphobic, they’re also really bad at philosophy There are logical errors in this brief that would be obvious to a middle schooler

This is obviously disappointing but if you’re going to blame it on business woes it seems like you might want to mention the fact that you closed for over a year and pushed back your planned start date four months That tends to not help cash flow

It’s so funny that Middleton and Porter voted against an amendment clarifying that the bill doesn’t affect existing buildings Like what are we even doing here

The thing about all the major media companies capitulating is that I’m not sure it even makes business sense. So many people hate Trump that being the anti-Trump network would be a massive competitive advantage. They’re in it for the love of the game.

In some ways I think this Kirk backlash only works because he was a minor celebrity best known by political junkies You can cancel shows and fire people if <1% of the population knows the person who died. If half the country is celebrating, that stops working

One of my favorite parts about biking around the city is getting to compliment other people’s cool bikes You never get to do that in a car

So Trek is pulling a Walgreens (buying up the competition and then shutting them down)

Fun fact not mentioned in the article: if you walk, bike, or take the light rail, you don’t have to experience any additional traffic

Standing over the sink eating the flesh off a mango seed like

Dontae Melton’s police custody death ruled a homicide as body camera footage reveals numerous failures in city’s crisis response system baltimorebeat.com/dontae-melto...

Absolutely evil that this city has money to pay cops to stand around doing nothing and not to pay medics who actually help people.

If the NYT would spend even ten minutes on a state school campus they would see that their “solution” already exists

I’m no doctor but it looks like the over-the-counter nasal spray I take for allergies is a corticosteroid Seems like a pretty cheap and easy way to qualify for the vaccine

Hit 500 miles on my ebike today Obviously some of it would otherwise have been walking but it’s a nice round number of miles that weren’t in my car

On one hand I think Republicans in Congress will find that being surrounded by angry people with guns is actually terrifying On the other hand it seems that they’re doing their damnedest to manufacture a DC crime wave

Maybe it would be safer if we didn’t have an eight-lane highway running through downtown

Post traumatic sandwich disorder

Maybe we could just go without a dump and still make Falls Road a bike path?

Maybe it’s just me but the way the light rail announcer enunciates the names of the stops sounds exactly like Mr. Fischoeder

Mayor and city council: we are introducing several bills City workers: pay attention to these bills Local newspapers and nonprofits: there are going to be bills Neighborhood associations: how come no one told us about this?

I’ve done inktober for the past six? years and this is so right There’s no way of avoiding spending a bunch of time doing bad drawings and learning what things actually look like through trial and error but I’ve made so much improvement because of it

People will do anything other than eat a plant

Can’t wait to have a hot cup of coffee dropped on my head from 200 feet up

Yet more evidence for my “all entrepreneurship is either wage theft or dodging regulation” theory

Enoch Pratt Library union ratifies first-ever contract after two years of negotiations baltimorebeat.com/enoch-pratt-...

There are many problems with this sentence but one that sticks out to me is that “the mixed-race population is growing faster than other demographics” does not actually contradict “people of color no longer felt that social progress was inevitable” in any way

Spotted some excellent driving decisions

All of these are wrong but I don’t see how you could possibly think an LLM could handle customer service after spending even 30 seconds on the phone with a robot

The “stealing aid” thing really gets me because it doesn’t actually make any sense Like, if Hamas is stealing enough of the food to cause a famine, where is it going? Where do you hide two million people’s worth of food?

Too much of the gentrification discourse focuses on who moves where and not enough on the competing interests of owners vs renters
