Hard to understand why the Browns are sticking with Joe Flacco today. He looks terrible. If you are going to throw checkdowns every time, let a rookie do that.

Have been watching T. Sheridan’s 1923. And can’t get over how none of the cattle or sheep ranchers use dogs. As the owner of a cattle dog, you notice these things. #1923

I am not a cop, but I believe it is a harder job than the president gives them credit for. Does he believe that National Guard is adept at reading suspects their rights, securing chain of custody for evidence, filling out accurate arrest reports. That they will show up to court in 6 mos. to testify?

Maryland is struggling to land clean energy batteries
Ultility-size clean energy storage batteries could save Maryland ratepayers big money, but projects have stalled partly because the region’s grid operator has been overwhelmed with project requests.

Perhaps an unpopular take, but this does not sound unreasonable.
Australia wants to remove more than a million young teens from social media, under a groundbreaking law that sets a minimum age of 16 to use the platforms. But with fewer than six months before the new regulation goes into effect, much about its implementation remains unclear or undecided.

Watching and enjoying Andor on Hulu, but seriously how many commercial breaks do they have. It feels like we have come full circle from free over the air TV to paying for streaming, and getting even more commercials.

I do not understand the distinction America often makes that there is a difference between putting “boots on the ground” and firing missles into, driving drones over, and bombing from thousands of feet another country. One seems a red line the other a permissible use of American Strength.

In January President Trump fired 17 Inspector Generals. To date no replacements have been appointed, or even nominated. One would think they would be a help with all that waste, fraud, and abuse.
