The 49ers are never winning the Super Bowl again.

Autocorrect is interesting sometimes. It wanted to correct "counterstory" to "counterterrorism".

A tuxedo cat, sitting on a window sill and looking outside.

I think window cat season has arrived.

You should check out Dreamers and Make-Believers if you want to visit Baltimore.

Gin and tonics at the bar with live music among friends, with an view of the nearby harbor; folks, we are living the dream in Baltimore.

Oh, they've cleared $100 billion in profits already and are definitely not bleeding cash? Wasn't that the agreed-upon definition for AGI established last year?

What do you suppose the odds are someone used AI to search for Biblical quotes that they interpret as justifying violence and got that quote back in the return output?

“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

I bet this version of Zuck won't have any legs, either.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Rafael Devers, eyes closed in a brief moment alone before taking his position at first base, looking as if he feels deeply dissatisfied about his previous at-bat.

I think this picture says a lot about how the Giants must feel about the start to the season so far. Long season, though, gents.

Being in Fells Point today feels like being on the Embarcadero.

One specific reason why living in Baltimore is great because I know I can count upon being able to bring freshly made tamales to a Giants game at Camden Yards every other year.

I bet it's because Andy Harris and many of his most low-wattage constituents on the Eastern Shore are aspiring, gleeful fascists.

The Ominous Big Tech Takeover of Our Community College System A sketchy online school funded by Silicon Valley bros portends a bleak future for a critical sector of our education system.

When I discovered that tech fascists like Peter Thiel, Joe Lonsdale, and Sam Altman provided VC funding for an online "community college," I had to find out why. Thanks @newrepublic.com for publishing this.

New: The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation this week to give thousands of non-tenure track faculty the right to form recognized unions at public universities. The bill now goes to Gov. Wes Moore's desk. Everything you need to know:

I choose to believe it's because the Giants are in town this weekend.

This is 1,000% correct.

being a guy in a mostly woman office environment is the greatest gig in human history if they can just get over the "treat them like people" hurdle

I wrote about the end of
the U.S. Forest Service and the arrogance of trying to kill something like a forest: defector.com/the-trump-ad...

Related, a notice for all Baltimore small businesses: As best as I can, I do not spend money at establishments using AI slop as a marketing crutch, full stop.

Sorry, man, it seems like the world's most powerful person threatening to wipe out an entire civilization in no uncertain terms is not something that anyone should simply shrug off. Anything short of impeachment and conviction is a waste of our collective time at this point.

Alright, Maryland and Baltimore Bluesky folks, what do we think?

Another economic indicator update: Gas at this particular West Baltimore station is now $4.19.

Heads we win, tails you lose: AI detectors in education The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in student assessment has led to institutional reliance on detection tools. Unlike plagiarism detection, AI detection relies on unverif...

It's good to know that research is confirming the conclusion that I reached about AI detection in writing at least a year ago: "AI detection in education is not merely flawed; it is conceptually unsound."

The MLB schedule maker who put the Giants in Baltimore and DC on consecutive weekends this month deserves a raise, in my opinion.

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Yeaaaaaah lol

Dutch Bros is wildly popular in Fresno, and I've never understood the hype. Their drinks have more sugar than Dunkin, I swear!
