Amid resurfacing ‘blitz,’ not all Baltimore road projects comply with Complete Streets law
Amid resurfacing ‘blitz,’ not all road projects comply with Baltimore safety code
Some of this year’s road resurfacing projects in Baltimore won’t comply with all Complete Streets standards — a problem advocates say has persisted for years.

This is so fucking dumb. Because everyone wanted to see the shutdown end. But not without getting some concrete concessions. Like I stressed missing paychecks and now that was for nothing. I feel used and even more unappreciated
🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.
If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.

Baltimore City should be glad i had to work through the furlough. Because if I had all that time, I probably would have filed a suit because they keep breaking the law about complete streets.

Started my morning by calling my senators to tell them to call for and support a change in leadership. Suggested to @vanhollen.senate.gov that he should be leader.

Men: Women want a man who is 6', has a 6 pack, and makes 6 figures
Women: I want a man who will listen, make plans, and ideally carry snacks for when I have forgotten to eat and am about to be hangry.

At the heart of every woman she’s essentially a food… figure out the kind… figure out the order and you can live as a god forever
Get ya ears off the charger and listen:
“I don’t know what I want” doesn’t mean I’m not hungry. It means I’m about two inhales from being violently hangry & lack the executive function to navigate a menu. Know what I like to eat and FEED ME so no one gets hurt.

The price is so high because so many people want to take the train in the NE. And the NE is the only profitable region. And because we demand everything that charges a fee is profitable, the NE tickets are high.
Yo what in the fuck is wrong with Amtrak and their pricing? No wonder no one takes the fucking train.
I was buying an already overpriced ticket from Baltimore to NYC and WHILE I WAS CHECKING OUT the dynamic pricing increased the price by $155.
$155. For one ticket. In the span of 5 minutes.

Does Lena Waithe have some connection to Baltimore? Because she produces a Peculiar Patriot, which appears to have only been shown in prisons previously. And she is having the World Premier of her new play here in February. I mean, I know Baltimore is Black. But is there any other connection?

My coworker told me yesterday that some feds are being told they have to go work for ICE or get RIFed and I spent like 20 minutes daydreaming about all the chaos I could cause through petty incompetence before they fired me.

Call the White House and your members of Congress with this brilliant idea to protect the people's travel? Shut down the 12% of air travel that takes place in private jets--not the rest of our flights! Let them fly commercial so we can all reach our destinations!
