All of the cranks were right about Mike Elias and it brings me no joy to say so, even as an aforementioned crank

Me and the boys hooting and hollering when we see longtime mainstay Amanda Peet show up in the Sunday crossword

Took some crummy pictures and had a blast at the Kinetic Sculpture Race yesterday (not pictured: pictures)

Me, after I’ve had 2 Red Stripes and someone tells me not to say the word bitch:

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

David Rubinstein sell the team and buy more Magna Cartas

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

the better way of acting out how mad you are at your Beltway dad is to become David Berman, which worked out much better for everyone, although it didn't ultimately work out great for David Berman

This is not what I meant

It’s great that this era of the Orioles will be remembered as “we have the Moneyball A’s at home”

I also live in a place where we've lost half our population, many people are poor, and folks fix their own cars while the elites constantly look down their noses at us. It's called baltimore, and somehow we didn't go fash at all. I wonder why that could be mark

This isn't how you respond to bullies. Preemptively giving them your lunch today won't save your lunch tomorrow.

Orioles game postponed, Orioles cannot lose tonight

Charlie Morton? In my day we called ‘em a Steve Trachsel

Finding out that the 20% tariff on the EU includes Italy

Heartwarming: sunglasses were still at the bar five days later

It’s Opening Day (Orioles rotation made of cadavers and guys)! Maryland plays in the Sweet Sixteen (feel-good story of the week imploding around coach’s dastardly gambit for new job)! I love sports!

Interesting choice for opener by Oasis www.nme.com/news/music/r...

Saying this kind of shit should be disqualifying for any democrat from president all the way down to clerk of courts

The Darkness at Fletchers in what was I believe their second US show. Think it held 200 people

Not the point obviously but once you’re elected president, aren’t you basically never allowed to drive a car for the rest of your life? Wasn’t it a big deal that Obama drove around the White House grounds once for like five minutes?

Swing Lo Magellan is a tribute to Rubber Soul save to drafts

WHAT'S UP BALTIMORE!!!!!!! Say congratulations to the workers from the NEWEST union Starbucks in Maryland - The Rotunda location just WON THEIR UNION!!! 🎉🔥✊

Sure I could watch the speech tonight or I could climb in the composter and turn myself into a fine loam for the garden

finding a disease he believes in fighting, that it's antisemitism, and he's teaming up with a bunch of white supremacists to do it is, to be fair, epidemiologically consistent

They should keep making Conclave movies like it’s Knives Out

I brought one of my guitars up to my office to noodle around on during the day, and tuned it to open C(#?) to learn how to play Sunflower River Blues. 1.5 years later it’s still the only song in that tuning I know, and my wife gets to listen to me play portions of it 5/6x a day while she works

a good example of how the world is getting dumber. the new politico playbook writer didn't know who FDR was until a reader told him about that whole "new deal" thing. this newsletter is read by every important person in DC.

I would go back to Mass for this

Now that football season is finally over time to take a big swing of coffee and familiarize myself with what I’m sure was a very exciting and active offseason for the Baltimore Orioles

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually heard a Drake song but he always just kinda seemed like he sucked and sometimes you get lucky and don’t have to adjust your priors

you might feel moved when visiting the Betsy Ross museum, but don’t get carried away! They won’t even let museum employees do this activity

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Give me a break

I swear if the team pulls out the Ray Rice playbook again for this www.thebaltimorebanner.com/sports/raven...

Sure you’re still way more likely to die in a car crash but I think my travel the next few vacation cycles will stick to goin downee oshun

begging journalists to stop giving oxygen to trust fund children who think saying the r slur is a human right

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over
