A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

Lot of folks (self included) expressing despair that despite aggressive prosecuting fascists ("doing everything right") Brazil was still going to get Bolsonaro-ed and the fact this guy gtfo-ed as quickly as he did should be a big signal for the AOC DOJ to go *hard* in 2029.

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

Reminder to #Maryland voters, #EarlyVoting runs through Thursday evening. Check the link in my quoted post to find a polling place in your county!

Been reading about a lot of very bad but entirely ordinary people throughout history for the next season of Past Lives (Everyday Villains). This guy is utterly typical. 1) Doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. 2) Permission structure in a system of hierarchical authority. 3) Benefits materially.

What are you afraid of? Sharks🦈, lions🦁,bears🐻? Terrifying. Car traffic kills way more people than animals ever could. Even when excluding indirect harm. Watch out for the real predators🚗!

PSA BALTIMORE: TOMORROW (SATURDAY) www.doorsopenbaltimore.org/sites/

I do feel like one of the biggest underappreciated crime victories we've had is that since its peak in 1991, total official property crime has fallen by 60%. Not the rate. The total amount. As populations grew. The rate of property crime is down over 70% from 1991 to 2025.

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Early voting starts today in Maryland! Polls are open 7am to 8pm daily thru 10/29! Find your county’s early voting centers here - voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/PollingPlace...

THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

The men’s winner of the Baltimore Marathon today was a horse who decided to run the race in a human disguise but didn’t think of a fake name in advance.

This is what I want in a leader, i wish I could like this post twice. This guy is clearly an inspirational leader, the people talking about him running for president have a point, I’d be happy voting for someone who says this.

People are confusing measles with… chicken pox? 🤯.

This is straight up, plain and simple authoritarianism. This is the canonical impeachable offense

I was unaware of sideguards, we need this law in Maryland!

To celebrate pub day for paperback of my book UNABRIDGED, here’s an outtake about one really weird definition

The driver of that ICE vehicle should be arrested for attempted murder based on that video!

When this portable, window-mount, heat pump came out it was $4,000-$5,000 to purchase and install. Now it is down to ~$3,000. It's a cold-climate heat pump that operates to -22°F, runs on 120V and you can still see out the window! 🧪💡🔌☀️💨💧🔋

What a select club Hegseth has us joining.

Just a reminder that these Haitian immigrants in Springfield -- who came here legally, did everything they were asked to do and more -- became a target of federal crackdowns because the white nationalist vice president shamelessly spread racist lies about them.

If you have $100 million to spend on ads saying you shouldn’t be taxed you’re not being taxed enough Google cofounder Sergey Brin has spent $102 million to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax—he could owe $13 billion if he loses fortune.com/article/how-...

But ice cream shops can’t give a free cone to someone with an “I voted” sticker

Noooo!!! This is going to be very disruptive to BWI area workers who need happy hours. But very good for Heavy Seas taproom! Bright side is definitely more business for the local shop.

Hey #Baltimore folks, #CharmCity #cyclocross is this weekend in Druid Hill Park! Weather looks beautiful for Saturday, I recommend coming out to check out the races! www.charmcitycross.com

This is a big reason I became a potter, every mug I make is stamped with hieroglyphics praising me for inventing the airplane. With luck, I will be immortal and future archaeologists will be totally fucked.

To recap: three GOP-led states that wanted the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade in order to "send abortion back to the states" are now asking the Court to strike down abortion protections in blue states

Justice Kavanaugh, please explain to me — and Christa Pike— how this is an “interim” decision? Justice Barrett, please explain to us how this is merely a “preliminary” ruling?

You’re going to see more of this, and it’s going to be a lot better to say “welcome to the party” than holding onto old grudges and saying “I told you so”. You get to feel the win inside.

like I hope it's obvious by now that all the "MeToo went too far!" bleating is because it got rapists in trouble and they don't think rapists should get in trouble.

NYC’s congestion pricing program cut ambulance travel times by over a minute

damn that's crazy. so was he totally free of emotions when he missed back-to-back-to-back game winning field goals against the Seahawks in 2005, just pure Being Bad At Kicking with no mental factors at all

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

hi i'm Greydon Grey IV, chief marketing exec at Grey Uniforms Inc. Here's why we think your NFL team could use some grey uniforms: —gets away from your team's iconic color sets —does not look good —extremely forgettable —looks bad —could easily be confused with any other team —looks like crap
