Baltimore enjoyer.
My proposed ICE reform: all employees must wear Hot Dog on a Stick uniforms.

Just read this in an older article (The Hill) about Schumer’s chief of staff and guffawed: “Schumer’s allies describe Lynch’s calm approach to daily challenges as a good complement to Schumer’s famous intensity.”

Spent half of the time watching The Smashing Machine (very good, btw) trying to identify what exactly they changed about his face to do such a good job at making it so real. Oscar for make-up, IMO.

Doing a thing where I try to imagine what it would feel like to be a member of a political party that is going farther than I’d like. Like what goes through the mind of a “moderate” Republican? “wow, I like the policy in general but maybe not so much.” WTF is that like?

“raising the assumption of risk” is chatGPT legalese when you’ve got nothing.
Leavitt: Any gun owner knows when you are carrying a weapon and are confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you.

Matt Gaetz couldn’t be happier with the timing of the news about him.

Willing to take a commission-only job for the city, walking around and issuing citations to businesses and vacant house owners who still haven’t cleared sidewalks. Mr. Mayor, hit me up.

Interesting that the weekend threat of Canadian tariffs did basically nothing to the market. TACO is the near-universal expectation now.

Multiple houses on my block have taken unprompted turns shoveling as much as they can at the time, always more than just their own space. Who is funding this coordinated attack on ICE?!

Do republican Congress members still carry around those performative pocket constitutions or have they given up on that too?

Years ago I bought some thick neoprene farm boots that have always been overkill and sat in the closet, but they’re perfect for this storm. Feet staying so cozy!

I know people have strong (valid) opinions on Seawall, but for this storm they opened a Rem. Row parking garage to the neighborhood, and that’s a very nice thing to do.

A ‘community notes’ feature for ALT text, where the generic gifs can have ALT text verified and saved for future users, instead of “a man in a suit…etc etc”

Thinking about how one of Noem’s senior employees as SD Governor got a very senior appointment at my [former] job and held an all-staff virtual meeting & when she got called out for not knowing what appropriations were after being 100% wrong on something simple, she just quietly left the meeting.

My Mac doing some real funny things this AM. Hackers you have more important work to be doing right now.

The TikTok mess has a lot of shared blame with democrats who were pissed people were learning about Palestine from somewhere other than mainstream media.

“There is a kind of peace that only exists because it refuses to tell the truth.” YES

Hoping to see a play with like 4 fumbles and everyone falling down. Still time.

Cool Guy just now was driving his 2WD lifted truck so fast he lost control and spun a 180, not hitting parked cars purely out of luck and a snowbank redirecting his slide.

Using digital field markings makes the players seem like ghosts and I like it.

Broncos were the closest thing to a “home” team for me growing up, but I never rooted for them. That changes today (for one game only) due to Fuck the Patriots.

Not the point but it is so refreshing when he/anyone does a no-shame “I don’t know what that is.”
Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians.

Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!
