Mamdani is going to start an arms race of elected officials actually doing good things for their constituents. It's going to infuriate most Democrats who prefer to tell their voters to fuck off while texting for dollars.

We have spent so much time, money, energy, and brain space on artificial intelligence, and apparently just gave up on Smell-O-Vision.

“Don’t tread on me,” except when it’s about giving benefits to low income people living in food deserts surrounded by ultra-processed food options, with limited public transportation options and ever-increasing inflation. Then they want you to tread all over and shame them for eating a doughnut.

No big deal, just me casually running into my favorite and Baltimore’s best first grade teacher, MRS. NONA PORTER! I look terrible and she hasn’t aged a day.

The worst thing about this form of censorship and public erasure is that it exposes institutional priorities that are wholly anathema to their stated missions and ethics. This would have been an amazing exhibition, and this is a pathetic concession to tyranny. hyperallergic.com/992061/show-...

Jury duty movie: Avatar 2, which took me about 15 minutes to figure out because the screen wasn’t on (but the sound was) for the first 10 minutes.

Jasmine Vaughn-Hall *did* mention Neopol (✅), but *didn’t* mention Sal & Sons (also ✅ because that place is a local treasure with some of the best, most affordable seafood in Baltimore and it must remain a unpublicized not-so-secret spot) www.thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/thin...

As a seafood city, it’s only right that Baltimore has some fish sandwich gems.

It's really dystopian to see how digitizing everything, which was supposed to keep records safe, is instead being used to quickly purge information. We should have known I guess, but cripes.

Too many people are excited about Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk's rumored consideration of ending Daylight Saving Time because they have lived their whole lives not knowing whether "sad, short days" or "long, sunny, happy days" is Daylight Saving Time. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/...
washingtonpost.com
No more daylight saving time? Musk, Ramaswamy muse on ending clock changes.
The “Department of Government Efficiency” may target the century-old practice, the men suggested on social media. It was not immediately clear whether they were serious.

Baltimore tried to "borrow" The Philadelphia Portal, but we accidentally turned it on and livestreamed the whole thing, so we just ditched The Portal and took the cones. SUCK IT, PHILLY* *I'm just playing, I love Philly

Bluesky is the new Twitter. Twitter is the new Facebook. Facebook is the new MySpace. MySpace is a litmus test for millennials and Gen X to gauge whether the youth will understand your references to Little Scotty Mouthbreather.

I hear of someone supporting the impending tariff plans, and I simply start shouting, "THE 👏🏾 HAWLEY-SMOOT 👏🏾 TARIFF 👏🏾 ACT 👏🏾 Which. Anyone? Raised or lowered? RAISED tariffs. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? IT DID NOT WORK, AND THE UNITED STATES SANK DEEPER INTO THE GREAT DEPRESSION."

Libraries are literally one of the most wonderfully, equitably, inherently intellectually socialist public services that one could possibly imagine and I'm honestly amazed that those on the Far Right have, to this point, focused mainly on banning books and not tried to fully ban public libraries.
