Another f***ed up day in this f***ed up world.

But never lose sight of who's trying to make it better, and who's trying to make it worse.

The risk of that is that the insurance company will refuse to pay if you get in an accident. Insurance that you can't count on isn't very good insurance.

I'm not sure they could make a useful street closure map. They let cars thru on the cross streets as they can, so they're technically not closed, but in practice, they're completely gridlocked. Same when one lane on the course remains open to cars, they are generally stuck in traffic.

What "they" say is irrelevant. This is about getting Collins out. Whatever gives the maximum chance. We can't afford 6 more years.

Maximus 10/18 @themerciful.bsky.social · 1d

The most important thing is to dislodge Collins from that seat, so she's no longer the incumbent. Then a younger candidate can have a chance.

Appreciate it, but not doing the Vin Diesel thing, sorry

The thing I like most about Android is that Apple doesn't have control over my whole life. Google Messages works fine, and I don't usually video chat, but the few times I have, I've used Signal.

I guess I won't be taking the Green Route to Fells Point anymore. It would be nice tho if the Green Route came up Fallsway closer to Midtown, ideally close to the train station like the corner of Mt Royal and Saint Paul, but at minimum a quick jog up to E Chase then turn back south on Guilford.

That, too. Your original words may have been best tho, I should have just used them. The Upside Down Age.

oh, I call that delusion lol. It's a little ironic tho that it's kinda trying to mean the same thing as "woke" when in fact it's the opposite lol

idk, I honestly googled it and didn't come away more enlightened -- I think the meaning might be in the eye of the beholder, but idk!

Maximus 10/18 @themerciful.bsky.social · 1d

But thank you, that's a very kind thing to say to someone who doesn't know what red-pilled means rotfl
