“Jesse Jackson had a little bit of hope”

my “fav” genre of this type of guy online is somebody who doesn’t like (or who has never even watched) any woody allen or roman polanski movies, his alignment with them is solely based on their scandals. “separating the art from the artist”, but in an inversion of the usual form

"NV/WA/MD Residents: you must select Decline."

interesting: this website's home page "cookies" popup says since I'm in Maryland I'm not allowed to accept. i wonder what distinguishes MD, WA, and NV from everybody else there.

in the henrietta lacks book when she says that locals call it 'john hopkin'. they are just trying to get a better handle on it than it has for itself

the more headline grabbing stuff is when he's not getting along with council members etc and being chair and allied with cohen+scott in some ways he is better off not doing it / they are passing some of the things they want to without drawing attention to it (most of the media is hostile)

one of the USA’s mass delusions is that murderers are interesting. a lot of rhetoric and entertainment exists to help you imagine yourself as one of them. school shooters are mostly following a script, a lot of acts of vigilantism are driven by years of fantasies before springing at the opportunity

neither ferguson or moore have any kind of positive vision for the future of the state. it’s a managed decline, scarcity, defensive crouch.

cars and trucks and things that go. dingo dog is a terrible driver

going to start pulling this out when people say “i can’t possibly go 15 mph somewhere i couldn’t see someone dart out in front of me”

Mamdani simply being a successful municipal socialist mayor and orthogonal to that also a normalizer of the non-American perspective on Palestine in US liberalism is really just the ideal scenario for a guy who can't run for the national executive office

i would also venture to guess that they think (not without reason) that they have won a lasting victory that won’t be threatened by a democratic presidency in 2029

you can pass complete streets but you can’t make the city follow its own law

i do wonder if he’s hit his ceiling there and is checked out

the last i heard, ryan dorsey riding his bike was ableist

Birdland Summer Music Series | Baltimore Orioles The Official Site of Major League Baseball

i am already busy on may 9 but in case you are not there is a combined orioles game and nelly concert 🤔

Medical students in Gaza restore one of the oldest libraries after it was bombed by the Israeli occupation.

entire parking lots filled with seized jetskis and F-150s

yeah i mean to the extent that people value it or think about it today it is as popular storytelling not research or academic integrity.

Reagan thought "Roots" was too unfair to the whites

my doctor is based at a hospital so i am billed a $25 copay for the doctor and then a $200ish "facility charge" for where the appointment is held. whether i end up paying some or all of this depends on what the insurance deductible machine coughs out

🫡🇺🇸

i havent even figured out who this guy is yet since i kind of tapped out on following the O’s with anything more than a warm spirit of “good for them” ca. spring 24 when the twins were born. by the way they’re going to be 2 soon which is nuts

thomas is roughly two years away from passing douglas for longest serving justice. he could get to number one then retire in 2028 if he wanted to.

Thomas and Alito are having too much fun to leave, and Thomas in particular I think would rather be the longest serving justice in US history and have his successor appointed by AOC than step down earlier

FBI guys have to be saying to themselves, we should be killing this guy in a hail of bullets like Roy McGrath, not working for the motherfucker

it turns out the issue with these is that regular sized onions are too big. it’s delicious with tiny onions.

I Found It: The Best Free Restaurant Bread in America Thirteen thousand miles. Infinite contenders. One beautiful loaf.

Florida’s Billionaires Want More Private Schools. So They’re Building Their Own. New schools founded by the financial elite feature flight simulators and sailboats, while serving up organic Thai food.

fascinated by WSJ stories that take a cheerful tone to reporting what amounts to 'society is in a death spiral'

stop=end would that it were so simple

going back and deleting some old spam messages (right-wing ones are directed at my pennsylvanian alter egos who are named virginia or larry and have the same number as me). thats the last time charlie and i talked

it just seems like the only point of smashing a burger is to be able to cook them more lazily
