Brien @briench.bsky.social · 3hI won TM roulette and somehow had pit tickets, so that definitely helped color my experience! I was surprised they don't have an upper lawn are - there's a ton of nicely banked open space above the lawn. They might not be able to sell it for every show, but this was such a tough ticket 010
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 4hI drove down from MD and back same night for N2. 10/10 would do again. That's an amazing venue I hope to return to. 110

Brien @briench.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Age would not be the limiting factor for you in this scheme. 110
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yes, more of that! It should be way easier with modern sim technology. Have Cadillac say for any kid 14 and under who beats a certain time at F1 Arcade, you’ll fly them to the factory for a proper test. 110
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Whichever team can figure out how to tap in to kids who aren’t children of pro drivers or insanely rich - they’re going to win a lot of championships. It’s crazy how many drivers’ kids are in pro racing in this day and age. There has to be a better way to find talent. 110
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thank you! I felt like I was losing my mind seeing a “2M decline” headline on that graph, but I wasn’t interested enough to dig into it on my own. 190
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A resignation letter to DOJ seems like the most formal of writing situations, where I would be sure to apply all writing conventions. But that's just me. 121
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 25/09/2026"Me" is correct, but I was always taught that the personal pronoun comes last. Maybe that's just convention rather than correct/incorrect. 360
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The buzzword soup is bad, but it's the internal comma in the restaurant name that is distracting my eye. Italicize the name if you insist on internal punctuation! 021
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 19/09/2026It’s just the timing that’s funny - I didn’t think you actually stole it. Just a weird coincidence! 110
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You’ve had people on your team quit, right? No different. Happens all the time, and they should handle it professionally. If they don’t, well, that’s not your problem for much longer! 110
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 15/09/2026From a childhood vacation to Orlando, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe has lived rent-free in my head for decades. Mary Queen of the Universe sounds more like a superhero spinoff than a religious title, which was pretty cool when I was 10. 020

Brien @briench.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Oh, those look like awesome choices! It's always so tough to decide. And good call skipping the pasta. I feel like it's always good, but there are also always better options. What did you think? 110

Brien @briench.bsky.social · 17/08/2026There's so much on the menu, and it changes so frequently. I almost always ask the server if there are a few courses that I really need to try, then I build around that. The cornmeal fried oysters are another classic, but it looks like they aren't on the menu right now. 120
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It's a fancy environment, but it never feels stuffy to me. The service when I've been has ranged from pretty good to outstanding. Don't miss the lobster soup - it's the only thing that is ALWAYS on the menu. What else do you want to know? 120
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 17/08/20263 is a very small meal, 6 is too much even for me. I think Brady Anderson has the record for ordering the highest number of courses with like 9 or something. Dessert doesn't count as a course. The wine pairings are really great, I always end up doing that. 120
Brien @briench.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Seriously, though, Charleston is easily my favorite restaurant in Baltimore. It's pricey, but definitely worth it if you're into fine dining. The menu is a little unusual - they describe it as a "build your own tasting menu." You pick between 3 and 6 courses, and they sequence them for you. 120
