#nokings NYC!

However tonight’s game and this season go, I feel lucky getting to watch Lamar Jackson play. He's just so much fun to watch even if I can never rest easy watching the Ravens play.

"We can 'make America great again'‐if we only get rid of due process, or judicial review, or the separation of powers, or birthright citizenship, or the freedom of the press. We might be great if we got rid of some or all of those things. But we would no longer be America." - Louis Menand, the NYer

I knew this had to be an Alito opinion.

#NoKings Baltimore

Great turnout in Baltimore. #nokings

Rebellions are built on hope.

Another great book talk at the Hamilton Branch Library with @susanmd.bsky.social. I love how many interesting and talented authors live in the greater Baltimore area. If you haven't read her book, it's well worth checking out.

Glad to support this local news source - I highly recommend for anyone in the Baltimore area.

Feeling grateful to be able to walk to our favorite independent bookstore, @snugbooksbmore.bsky.social, for Independent Bookstore Day.

We supported our local indie this morning. We're so lucky to have @snugbooksbmore.bsky.social in our neighborhood!

Glad the Orioles got that safety but you just can't give up three touchdowns and a field goal to the Reds and expect to win.

Today's rally and march in Baltimore.

Saturday is for protesting. @podsaveamerica.crooked.com

In honor of anti-record store day, I picked up a used Tears for Fears album yesterday featuring the saddest visit to a duck pond you'll ever see.

So on point.

I got to attend a great concert today from the folk singer @crysmatthews.bsky.social in our neighborhood. Her music really speaks to the moment and deserves a wide audience on Bluesky.

The Onion has been killing it lately.

One of the reasons I particularly enjoy collecting used vinyl. It gives records new life and makes me feel connected to the history of the music.

Also on point.

This about sums it up.

Here's to all of the tournament underdogs - go Eagles!

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

If you had an employee who routinely told you that he'd saved your company millions, but had to constantly walk back his claims and downgrade those millions to hundreds, you'd probably not keep that person in their job very long.

Turns out democracy dies in the the bright light of billionaire ownership.

This is why we continue to need good journalism and why we should always be skeptical of people offering easy answers to complex issues.

For those in the D.C. area - happening today. The way these public servants have been treated is inexcusable.

My idea of the afterlife looks a lot like The Strand.

Catching Baltimore author @sarahpinsker.bsky.social at our local branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in conversation with M.L. Rio, in which I learned about "cozy horror" and "starter horror" as its own sub-genre.
