Baltimore City
Pinned
This is the best day of my life.
This article is about Plank and not the harm done to the city. No mention of how much we're on the hook for, or for how long, where we'll have to pull funds from to compensate for the lost tax revenue, we dont identify who voted for the TIF, the harm to the city is irrelevant here.

I can't believe Joe Burrow's teammates would do this to him. You really should just retire bro. #Ravens

There's a grey girl cat with no collar whos been hanging out in the alley between St Paul and Calvert near centerstage. If I catch her I'm going to adopt her and she let me get way too close tonight. I already know what her name is going to be.

I know how humorless and boring this makes me but I see a big cat loose in the city and theres nothing funny about it. All I feel is pity for the animal who was probably kept indoors and abused by some fucking narcissist who wanted a pet whose only use was to reflect how his owner sees himself.

Happy Holidays yall.

My friend sent me this so apparently we saw MCR at the Ottobar 21 years ago, which is pretty neat and something I wish I had a single memory of.

I always said Oz was the worst good show and now I'm pretty comfortable saying stranger things is the best bad show.

My headlights are so bad and the cars behind me are so good that im constantly driving behind my own car's shadow.

This was the worst part of the half marathon. I thought it would be the hill from UB to Chase St but no this was worse for some reason. I think its bc when you get to the lake the turnaround looks like its 1000 miles away. Then once youve done it you have another turnaround thats all uphill.

Shutting down the streets rules everytime we do it but it sucks when they let cars come right up to the race route and go through bc now every car gets primed to fly through when theres a break in the runners but we still have walkers and bikers going the other way. Should be a hard no, turn around.

Ran the half marathon. Finished but the time wasnt great. Started seizing up on mile 12. We live on the marathon route and im so impressed by the people still running it after 6+ hours.

Happy 100th birthday Angela Lansbury.

If the team around him scores zero points and gets shut out at home (I'm rounding down, one field goal is meaningless) then the whole organization is failing Lamar.

Based on the smell from downtown to Mt Vernon im guessing the sewer is on fire again. #getinonit

Here's something to consider. The Governor of Illinois has an obligation to the people of his state and in fulfilling that obligation hes become a focal point of resistance to Trump with all of the direct threats to his life and the lives of the people around him that come with playing that role.

FBI agents arent fooled by a director who needs to get high as fuck to make it through a press conference and generals know what theyre seeing when two tv posers tell them to set their honor on fire.

We did a work retreat last week at the Richmond speedway where they let us drive fast cars around the track. Porsches, Lambos, Chargers. I drove a Ferrari 488. Every car at that track was quieter than the 200 muscle cars that explode around Mount Vernon on a daily basis.

Marc Marquez won his 7th Grand Prix title and 9th world championship in Japan last night. To understand why this is so significant you have to understand the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix, the greatest performance ever for a rider who didnt finish the race.

You need to understand how completely absurd it is to run WNYC and not understand the appeal of Brian Lehrer. Its disqualifying on a human level. Good luck, Baltimore Banner!
WNYC sought change. It got turmoil.

Another weeknight show. This time Tropical Fuck Storm at Metro Gallery. What a fun dirty ass rock show. Amazing band. Thank you for not making me go to DC again.
