This is the first time i have ever been sexually attracted to a man in a golf shirt.

This is the apothesis of American architecture and design. Zero notes. #Baltimore

Its been two days since the Turnstile pit and I can barely move but hot damn was it worth it.

Excited to announce I've finally started Baywatch: Hawaii and as expected it is thusfar IMPECIBLE. (I am 15 minutes in)

It has been three days since my idiot 44 year old ass went in the Poison the Well pit and everything hurts. Still, I regret nothing.

Just found a review of the first concert I ever went to and can't believe it was only ten bucks. Told my parents I was going to a birthday sleepover for a friend whose family swapped Brooklyn for Jersey after 8th grade. Didn't tell them about the concert, or that her birthday was in May.

Devin Allen said that Gray’s death and the Uprising that followed instilled in the people around him an increased resolution to change the world around them for the better. baltimorebeat.com/photostory-i...

I love this fucking city. #Baltimore

Baltimore Beat is the newsroom of the future (and also this very moment)

Guys, if you love anything in the world, love it NOW. Go out and enjoy every fucking second of all of this while we still have it. Fight like hell to keep it as long as we can. Show up. Do the thing. Don't let yourself forget what we have to live for.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I feel like I've said this to myself every week for a nearly decade and Democrats have let me down 472 times in a row. But maybe this time it'll be different!

Worried about our nation’s descent into fascism? This one pot cacio e pepe will make you feel like you’re in 1920s Italy.

It's becoming a volunteer one. There's no longer any money in journalism. We defunded a critical public utility because it wasn't profitable, created a massive vacuum, and now here we are. Even if we strike out on our own, there's no way to survive unless you have someone covering our bills.

Been screaming this from the rooftops for years, and hope people are finally ready to listen: media as we once knew it is dead and gone, and it's future is FUCKED. The biggest war we've been (yes, BEEN) fighting hasn't been for the control of oil, but for information.

If you're from Maryland and would like your brand new senator Angela Alsobrooks to stop voting for Trump's nominees, give her office a call and leave her a voicemail. I've been told it moves the needle, since everyone hates phone calls now. 202-224-4524

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

If you go over to @baltimorebeat.bsky.social’s Instagram, you’ll see all the boxes we just put out over the city

YES YES YES! This is how Twitter felt til about 2015, then it all went to hell. The youths are getting a fleeting taste of hope and promise and I love it. We need more moments of this. It's not dead yet, goddamnit!

I was raised to believe that a fellow like Elon Musk would have been taken out by some James Bond-esque org by now so what's the hold up on this

My new senator Angela Alsobrooks has voted Yes on several Trump nominations. If you're in Maryland she's your senator, too, so you might want to give her a call and let her know how you're feeling about her job performance thusfar: 202-224-4524

Another beautiful Baltimore day.

My sons are starting college, and this is the world they're being handed. It's the future your kids are getting, too. And it's going to look nothing like the past.

If longevity mattered, Dumb & Dumber would have a Best Picture Oscar. Yet it didn't even get a nomination! The greatest movie of the 20th century, snubbed entirely!

I ate an entire one of those Hormel salami and cheese platters for dinner last night, in the event you've been wondering how I'm holding up.

Baltimore bathroom wall wisdom. Seems like it checks out.

Everything is a Reddit joke come to life. Haven't you people been paying attention.

It was neither sweet nor savory. It just... was, I guess.

Want everyone to know that I just tasted these for the greater good and I hate you all. Society deserves to collapse.

A highly niche message: if you're a man that's posted about the recent death of a certain NYHC promoter, check in on your female friends from back in the day. We were already having a very triggering week. Hopefully this can lead to some healing conversations that are long overdue.

It's only going to get stupider. Never forget that.

as I was saying

There are people who are hardened racists and they are gonna be that way until they leave here. There are also people who can be organized as opposed to dunked on for a quick dopamine hit. Because of how decimated the news ecosystem is, there literally are low-information voters.

When I meet someone else who loves David Lynch, I instantaneously know they're my people. He's shorthand for weirdos. If you "get" him, I know you'll "get" me. We can skip the small talk (which we both hate) and go straight to being best friends. We see each other. That's the true beauty of Lynch.

DUDE I WILL TOTALLY WRITE FOR PORNHUB TELL ALITO TO CALL ME

Didn't expect this to be the first thing to pop up when I opened my WaPo app to check on the cabinet hearings. Then again, this is very much on brand for our Brave New World, isn't it.

Out of curiosity, how many of you are freelance/remote workers in the Baltimore area? I'm thinking of planning a co-working day to help us all meet new, interesting people, which will hopefully lead to new, interesting projects that will put more good into the world than we take from it.

It is literally insane that I'm beating myself up for not being productive when we're all living through multiple ultra-traumatic events that not long ago would have brought this country to a standstill. Now we juggle them, and life goes on. It's like 9/11 in slow motion, every single day.

One of my dearest friends since childhood lost everything in the LA fires in a matter of seconds... EXCEPT his cedar patio furniture. Maybe it's because it was on a concrete pad, but could have just as easily been divine intervention? The Good Lord does love alfresco dining. gofund.me/06802c2f

Another day where I need to text dozens of friends to see if they're safe in the face of mass layoffs, rampaging wildfires, and a host of other rampaging tragedies. That being said, I AM single, so if you're a hot guy with neck tattoos in a country with health care and a stable democracy, hit me up!

Nostalgia is a chance to disassociate from our present reality and transport ourselves back to saner times which is why I'm only watching Baywatch and old Price is Rights til Doomsday.

Yesterday after work I sat down to play a quick game of Balatro, and next thing I knew, it was 1 am. Whoever created this game is a monster, and I think I'm in love with them.

201 too many, but still, this is incredible. I ditched NYC (my hometown) for this city because of its fighting spirit, and no matter how many setbacks, it never quits. Baltimore will have my whole heart for my whole life.

Balatro is ruining my life and I might be okay with it.

Last nights Baywatch was a cliffhanger! About to start part two. Where we left off: a sexy underwater photographer saw a sea monster kill her partner in an underwater cave near an offshore drilling site, and now its taking down a fishing boat. Also: a subplot about the Crips and Bloods.

If you're a PR person who has sent me an email in the last five weeks, note there's a 95% chance I'm not opening it, because goshdarnit it there are simply too damn many of them. It's only the 3rd, and already I've got enough to keep me busy through February.

Just discovered the inauguration is on MLK Day and in hindsight we really should have known 2025 was going to end up being this stupid.

Second workday of 2025 and I gotta tell ya, morale remains low. Hard to get any real sentences together when there's still this much chocolate in my bloodstream.
