Do you have an off-the-wall idea for how to make Baltimore City and/or the surrounding area better, about any topic, feasibility be damned?

"If the dam ultimately breaks, months or even years of resentments could come spilling out at once. With a lifetime of hard feelings out in the open, is it even possible to salvage the relationship? Should you even want to?" www.vox.com/even-better/...

"A wedding is more than a celebration, it's a pledge to protect one another," said Barbo. "Creating an estate plan is one of the most meaningful expressions of love. It offers your partner peace of mind, security, and the clarity that comes from knowing your wishes are understood and honored."

Love working outside on a rainy day.

lol two of the longform podcast interviews in my feed this morning are with Fiverr and TaskRabbit.

Come on now. Stop guessing whether an apostrophe belongs.

I saw “Maybe Happy Ending” and “Oh, Mary” and thought they were both interesting but not great so I tuned into the entire Tonys to find out what I had missed in the record-breaking year for Broadway, and I watched the two weird plays I saw win a whole bunch on awards so I guess that’s about it?

'Mountainhead' should have kept the basic premise but dialed everything back about 80% and let the real world absurdity do the rest.

"Phelps says that the most helpful avenue for staying informed has been the smattering of groups on Facebook, where people answer questions, offer advice, and upload pictures of payouts: Venmo, Zelle, prepaid cards, and paper checks." www.wired.com/story/i-am-h...

This coming weekend in my newsletter I'll write about what I realized the people I bring with me have in common. You can subscribe here: dannygroner.substack.com.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

It’s obvious but worth drawing out what raids of Home Depot’s of all places is about. It’s rounding up people who are really eager for work and for whom there is work, peoples whose labor is in demand. We know this but shows just how far it is from rounding up just the bad guys.

Good interview. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

WSJ: Business owner John Starr “said he is hunkering down — no hiring, no more capital spending — until he has clarity on tariffs. “How am I supposed to pay this?” said Starr. “That could wipe out profits for a year.” @nicktimiraos.bsky.social www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

Sinner’s.

Alonso has the dumbest haircut but it works with his equally dumb personality.

I loved this story. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/n...

A friend was out of work for six months late last year. She took a job earlier this year just to get back in the game. It was never a great fit. She wasn't thrilled with the job, once started. She continued to look around. Now, she's found something better. We'll be seeing a lot of this in H2 2025.

"Washington veterans say that fallings-out in the political world, like the one between Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump, are not unusual — both in public and private — and are often easy to predict." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/s...

@sarahviren.bsky.social Good story this weekend. You do good work for NYTM.

Good listen. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/m...

"He’s hoping that his past fabrications, seen in the contemporary glare of the iPhone light, might not look quite as offensive as they once did. After all, the public has lately reconsidered former outcasts for far worse." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/s...

Now that it's been pointed out, I hear it as part of the plan. www.fastcompany.com/91345365/tru...

At my best, I used to look like Aaron Eckhart. At my best now, I look like Mike Johnson.

It's not the main issue, but the way that he permits masks and doesn't permit masks is really, really bizarre.

“For the mass majority of women, being told to take something that is basically like addressing the gym bros—when it comes to marketing, that’s just not gonna cut it,” said Haider. “We were really excited to kind of make this something that was palatable for women.” www.wsj.com/business/cre...
