Orioles beat Blue Jays with franchise record 6 homers in opening day slugfest
An Orioles fan can dare to dream big after watching Tyler O’Neill, Jordan Westburg, Adley Rutschman (twice) and Cedric Mullins (twice) all launch homers in a 12-2 win.

Frank taught me how to typeset posters himself. I knew it at the time: It was an incredible honor. He was gentle, patient, and hardworking. And we had a ton of fun in the cavernous rooms at Globe. This is a big loss for Baltimore and beyond. Buon viaggio, Frank!

This was my all-time favorite #museum when I was a kid, which I thought was named for a guy called Aaron Space. I always wanted the astronaut ice cream as a souvenir. #washingtondc #bluesky #spaceage #airandspace #urban #architecture #smithsonian #photography

Did you know that the Height of Buildings Act of 1910 restricts buildings in #WashingtonDC to no more than 130 feet (other than the Capitol and the Monument)? Why? Because of the reach of firefighting equipment at the time. Still in effect. #capitol #bluesky #photography #urban #architecture

Playing hooky in D.C. on this gorgeous #bluesky (if breezy) spring morning and reminded of just how much I love this city and especially the #Smithsonian, where I spent so many childhood hours.

My third time seeing #Kraftwerk and I always wonder if it’ll be the last when Hütter (now 78) takes his bow. I cannot imagine touring at 78. Maybe when he can’t do it anymore they’ll just build a … Man Machine. #autobahn #worldtour

Always appreciate commitment to a theme, CitizenM, but the “Citizen Giordana” is a tad Orwellian. Still, impressed with their use of space, and the rooftop bar is super fun. #citizenM #washingtondc #datenight

So it’s not just my nostalgia … “The 1990s saw some of the most significant activity of democracy’s third wave, including across nearly all of Eastern Europe. Former communist states and Soviet republics — like Czechia, Hungary, and Estonia—democratized with remarkable speed.” @vox.com #democracy

I’ve been making #ricotta at home since the pandemic. It always comes out amazingly. I’ve tried 3 different gallons of whole milk over the past 10 days, and not a single one worked. I’m getting barely any curds. Can anyone out there help troubleshoot? #cheesemaking

The first platform I ever used to voip call to Italy … the end of an era.
Microsoft is finally hanging up Skype, which it acquired 14 years ago. It will replace the longtime calling and messaging app with a free version of Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Will Shut Down Skype in Favor of a Free Version of Teams
