"We got to see all the crushing [of] the electronics. They crushed the microwave, they crushed the fridge, they crushed the oven, they crushed the stove," Himmat described excitedly. Adorable 😆

tomorrow is a new day

The next neighborhood over from a certain walking tour tomorrow afternoon...... 👀

This is a rapidly developing situation so I strongly encourage you to call or email TODAY. #Maryland #MDpol #MDleg #Annapolis

Right to a speedy trial just one more law we’re going to ignore these days. Maybe jury selection will happen in 2027 for this 2024 arrest based upon literally no (admissible) evidence

people are asking, so YES, please feel free to use this! i mean don't SELL it, but feel free to use it as a reaction image if you want!

sorry have to add my favorite one

Redbud alert, 37th St

the redbuds are opening up

As a poor kid who went to a rich school let me say from the bottom of my heart fuck these people. It's so hard to figure out these day to day logistics as a 19 year old when everyone else just has it paid for by their parents!

i appear to have asked a question akin to "how do Rebel Alliance schoolteachers feel about Darth Vader?"

so i don't live there now but i am From Philly, it's meaningfully part of me even 20+ years out and i'm not into hockey but this guy has transcended mere hockey mascot, imo. i've been thinking about this kind of treatment for him basically since go & especially since they doubled down on the flag-

Ughghgghhhgggh when you’re tired of me but you are also me

Bradford pears are out there doing their stank ass thing

The way my life energy drains when it changes correctly spelled things to nonsensical garbage

Thought it was an especially slow Friday, but just forgot to open the email app.

Morning tulips… because SPRING!

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

The idea that bright, wild color is something you outgrow is a damaging lie society tells us. This unspoken rule, that enjoying intense, clashing colors makes you childish, is pure bullshit. The depression palette trend has only gotten worse because it saves corpos money. We gotta end it.

Happy baseball to all who celebrate.

Anybody know anything about paying ground rent for the first time? I have the name and address of this particular entity — if they didn’t send us a bill, I can still send them my $? Do I need to write anything more than my name and street address? Am I about to awaken a beast?

GOOD

Baltimore and beyond, join me in supporting one more visitor to the amazing Reginald F. Lewis museum by donating $91 if you can. Don't let Sinclair Broadcasting determine the value of our cultural heritage.

Is New Orelans a different city than New Orleans because you can't build a tunnel under New Orleans so I'm hoping this misspelling is intentional

On a related note, New Orleans restaurants are generally pretty shitty about gluten free options until you get to the Fancy Places and that is bullshit for a city that prides itself on amazing food. Do better, affordable and mid-tier food places.

the harry potter show being popular is gonna be deeply annoying but it will also be a great time to practice saying calmly and repeatedly “oh i don’t care much for harry potter since i learned rowling spends all her time and money attacking trans people”

🌸 this same tree looks so sweet coming up Remington

i have something to plug for once: please go see this incredible art exhibition at Waller Gallery- ICE Out of Baltimore! i have a piece in it ❤️🩷🖤💛

my partner taught me to do squats about my anxiety and it really does help

This was good: reddit.com/comments/1s1... All gallows humor aside, I think this incident is classically what scholar Charles Perrow would have classed a “Normal Accident.”

Been thinking about this Air Canada Jazz flight 8646, CRJ-900 + fire truck collision all day. This link has a transcript of the ATC radio. So many folks are out here just doing their best despite crushing circumstances while people in power try to make those circumstances worse.

Me becoming obnoxious when I’ve already been at the doctor for an hour with no progress yet because they told me to arrive 15 minutes early and my scheduled appt was 50 minutes ago

Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone

Before today, the number of wrongfully deported asylum seekers in the case was thought to be less than a dozen. But a USCIS asylum officer testified that in the past 3-4 weeks it had come to her attention that more than 100 asylum seekers covered by the settlement agreement have been removed.

Wait tomorrow, then why was there a guy with a tactical outfit and rifle patrolling the terminal at BWI on 3/5 when I was there

IMPORTANT UPDATE

My friend Jorn and I went to the BMA today and they happened to be giving tickets to the Amy Sherman exhibit to anyone who went up to the student art exhibit, so we got to go see it even though it’s been sold out for ages! What an amazing exhibit. Her work is absolutely stunning.

Daffodil report: not quite peak yet, though a fair amount in bloom. Perhaps a few days/next weekend if these temps continue?

🌸 ALERT 🌸 Forgot to mention this during all the squirrel hubbub but I saw my first pink tree of the season on 33rd St

Afroman is the hero Americans need right now, to remind us the Constitution is not enrirely dead and we, the people, can still win if we decide to fight back against tyranny.

!!!ALERT: THE CHONKY CENTRAL PARK RACCOONS ARE BACK!!!

Update: she seems to be satisfied now

I use this stretch of the 15th St bikelane every time I'm in D.C. for work. This is ridiculous and so unsafe. AND it will make the problem they claim to be trying to solve for (congestion) *worse.*

For anyone who hasn’t heard, Maillard Pastries are closing their 2 locations in early May, grab your treats now.

She has been evicted and would like that decision to be reconsidered

FREETAXUSA BESTIES every time someone on here tags me that they converted away from the capitalist demon TurboTax I think God should strike like 5 years in Purgatory off my running tab

They're offering to pay all of Bob's future vet bills cuz he's 12 years old and has Felv & FIV That's fucking insane, and geography is the only thing stopping me from adopting him muself
