Charm City Dept. of Trainsportation

I was up with the baby and the city collected recycling on my block at like 345 am. I thought their super early runs were to beat the summer heat but apparently they stayed with it?

God damn STOP TEXTING ME MARK KELLY

I should watch Baltimorons

Fuck me for trying to spread human connection and cheer in the long dark months of scarcity and wolves I guess

Also Advent, boxing Day, epiphany... And that's just within Christianity!

"have a happy holiday" is a lyric in "rocking around the Christmas tree", it's just a nice thing to say and people need to calm TF down.

"Happy holidays" -->so you hate Christmas?

is the original "I like pancakes" --> oh so you hate waffles?

Dems will write letters whose sternness we've scarcely yet contemplated

But seriously this court needs to be reigned in

Not a criticism of this (excellent!) thread, or Casten in particular, but I do think Democrats need to start laying out clear, definitive and escalatory steps they plan to take in response if/when SCOTUS goes through with this.

When will any journalist follow up on these hollow excuses with "you're a senator/Congressmqn/the speaker of the house. It's your job to know and if you don't want to do the job, shouldn't the people be represented by someone who will?

Chat, can the Supreme Court rule part of the Constitution unconstitutional?

What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"

I wish every single article on gerrymandering would include this disclaimer:

“This is a unique aspect of the American political system. Most other countries don’t allow politicians to draw electoral maps. Many even go further with proportional representation to ensure outcomes match votes.”

Someone asked me today if we were only allowed to eat latkes during Hanukkah and my response was "try to stop me"

Yo fuck these bigoted trolls

My first was born in October and every shot I get for him feels like Indiana Jones snagging his hat from under the temple door.

Time to look at moving his MMR shots up from 1 year to 6 months.

People should have to tell you who they are and why they’re detaining or arresting you before they chuck you into a vehicle in America

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"

Bill Nye said "Evidence."

Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."

I think about that a lot.

We really do need a new FDR, but it would be great if we could do it without polio coming back.

😭😭😭

Important thread about the power of worker solidarity and the need for labor to be a fierce advocate for its own interests in academia and beyond.

30 Rock meme but with Counting Crows

This came to me in a dream

I seem to recall this same court calling the issue of political gerrymandering nonjusticiable.

But here they are, justishing all over the place when it suits them.

Inshallah

*fast

I read the post far and at first was like "Stevie would love this"

Absolutely! But "bring back rail based transit in a manner reminiscent of the former streetcar network but updated to modern standards" isn't nearly as catchy 😅

Many fine people on many sides
