Surreal, embarrassing, and incredibly disturbing.

@baltimoreravens.bsky.social Keep your chins up, Ravens! It’s a long season. Ignore the drama and distractions. Work hard! Prepare like an All-Pro. Play/Coach smart! Let’s Go!! 🏈

I’m truly looking forward to next season. There’s reason to be optimistic and excited for this squad. Go Os!! ⚾️ 🧡🖤

Brilliant!! 😆

If I’m Kenvue (parent company of Tylenol), I’m suing the government for the Universe. Unreal! 🤦‍♂️

I live in the DC/Baltimore region. Great tourism opportunities, but guess what… Sightseeing and touring is less fun with combat-ready sentries lining streets, even if “safer”. I’ve tried it, both domestically and internationally. You? #safety #dcCrime #federalpolice #tourism

I love this joke! TC only serves his own interests. His recent remarks about #freeSpeech were not an expression of his belief in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Texans would do well to remember that TC is a flight-risk when his state and Country need him. #buttofalljokes #trumphateshim2

It’s not a free USA 🇺🇸 without free speech. Americans should be outraged that in only a short time, the government has placed our right of free speech, granted under the 1st amendment to the Constitution, on the chopping block. Americans and the media must fight back. WTF! #freespeech #fightback

The death of free speech.

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month? She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.

I’m convinced the @baltimoreravens.bsky.social need to bring Ed Reed out of retirement to help our secondary. Thankfully, it’s a long season and we won’t have to play against the Bills anytime soon. 🫤

4 sho! 😝 🎸

Ever lived/worked/vacationed somewhere during a military takeover of the Government?🤚 Cutting to the chase, we now have a large military force (now fully-armed)in DC, controlled by one political party with impunity. Oh, and yeah, they will be given the order to shoot. Just wait. #notmyfav #coup

The MLB trade deadline usually doesn’t yield much for my Charm City O’s. Sad to see Cedric Mullins traded to NY Mets for ??? 😑 I had hopes Mullins and Bmore could turn it around and pull off a miracle Wild Card spot. No more. 😔 There’s always next year/decade/lifetime. @doug-j.bsky.social

I’ve played strings made by these guys my whole life. Tariffs or no, they’re gonna continue making great stuff for a very long time! 🎸

Let’s just take a moment to thank Donald Jr for his clear eyed, and steadfast determination to get answers with Epstein. He says to ask ourselves DAILY what SCUM would be against disclosure and truth? Hmmm….

TikTok is killing us with these 😬

One sure fire way to keep your scandal in the news for a longer time is to sue someone over it. I’m pretty certain RM and the WSJ have themselves ready. 🧐 www.cnn.com/2025/07/17/m...

Okay, this was different, we had a HR Derby the night before. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Can we try something else next time (maybe just okay baseball)? Or, at least call this by something other than “swing off”?

This may now be my favorite dracula-like film of the past 10yrs. Still doesn’t top the Gary Oldman/Keanu/Anthony Hopkins joint, but still REALLY good! www.imdb.com/title/tt5040...

There’s much in the news I find simply unbelievable. This takes the “biscuit!” 😝

😔

Remember that legendary tail of bunker busting bombs ✈️ 💣 completely obliterating Iran’s nuclear facilities? Nah, me neither 🤦‍♂️. C’mon #potus You taco’d this story, too?!

As a music educator, I have always been aware that one day, jobs in music education could go away… for me, friends, all. Just moments after some awesome testimony by students and community members, the Board of Ed in my area cut music jobs. They’re planning to cut more down the line. Boo!!

Yo, yo, yo!!! Did Hasbro release its Meme Coin edition of “MONOPOLY” yet?? I bet ‘dat joint be off-da-CHAIN!!! 😝 💰 💻 🕵🏻‍♂️ #monopoly #memecoin #globalMobjob

Man! I must admit that POTUS and our recently inaugurated White House keeps the hits comin’ like no other. 🤦‍♂️ Why in all that is American would POTUS accept the Quatar gift of a plane as new AF1? 😬 #securityRisk #Bribe #govAbuseandFraudspentToRetrofitPlane

How much is it going to cost to rename the Gulf of Mexico in EVERY federal map and document? The actual amount is not the point. 🤦‍♂️

It’s been a zero-sum game since the inauguration. Cuts will continue without remorse. #UrVoteMatters #FAFO www.npr.org/2025/05/05/n... @spmarini.bsky.social

At my age, Cinco de Mayo means that May 6th is officially “What did I just eat/drink?” Day. 😝

NBA playoff hoop is WAY better than regular season ball. 🏀 The Celtics/Knicks game 1 has been fun!

Proud of the @orioles.com for another W against the Yanks. Go Os!! ⚾️

Tonight I watched @wshcapitals.bsky.social hockey for the first time in a LOOOOOONG while. Glad I did 😀. What a finish!! #ovechkin #caps #nhl 🏒

I own a high-mileage car. I always keep my cars beyond 100k miles. Under current conditions, I’m thinking I may end up holding on up to 200k. I really don’t want to 😑.

If you’ve seen the early scenes from the movie, Red Dawn, with Patrick Swayze, you may recall the sights and sounds of Russian and Cuban paratroopers dropping down in the schoolyard while classes are in session (to kill and imprison Americans). Yesterday’s headlines and USA’s war-plans?? 😬

My gut tells me, if you need an unauthorized text message app to communicate about government stuff, then you are up to something shady. Additionally, if you buy and sell crypto… you’re shady. 😑

Admittedly, it’s been a while since I’ve thought about the JKF assassination, much less whether the release of more documents will reveal new information. Today’s news DID remind me of an outstanding moment in television comedy: “The Magic Loogie.” youtu.be/tBz3PqA2Fmc?...

This hits home! ❤️ Proud of the student musicians, world-class military bands people (retired), @60minutes.bsky.social , and the entire staff of the Music Center at Strathmore. Seen with student performers were some of my colleagues, college classmates, mentors, and idols. #DEI #payForward #band

Brilliant post! @doug-j.bsky.social @spmarini.bsky.social @lisavbythesea.bsky.social

Took the family on a tour of the www.strathmore.org today. It was AWESOME! Great institution full of the BEST people. They even let me use my best sweet baritone on the mic in the concert hall. I am no @georgetakei.bsky.social but I tried my best. 😆 #iLoveMusiciansandArtists

It would make my day, every day! 😆

Good things truly come to an end. 😔

I’m a life-long musician and career music educator. Very little of my own musical gear (instruments, sound equipment, etc.) was 100% U.S.A. made/sourced. I worry that my (and my students’) future access to the musical arts will be severely limited as participation becomes more cost-prohibitive. 😑

Brilliant!

I was thinking something similar 🫤

So right 😆

I remember the Buggles, the original MTV format, and baseball when a $1million contract seemed absurd. I’m not saying we should go back to the way things were necessarily, but thankfully , @theathletic.bsky.social reminded me of a time in my life that I truly enjoy thinking about. #thegoodoledays

DOGE and the Social Security Administration are battling. The acting commissioner resigned today. These are facts. If you depend on benefits or are contributing (by working) to Social Security, call your Congressperson and Senators. #yourMoneyisInThere #OversightNeeded

The iPhone weather app is TRASH. That is all. #MarylandWeatherIsStrange @nws.noaa.gov

SNL’s commercial parodies over the years. Always loved these. #SNL50 youtu.be/xmaS4fyGo2c?...
