Wes Moore has wanted to be president forever and his envisioned path runs through the center. His response to a Nat’l Guard invasion will be a lot like Bowser’s, unfortunately.
My pets and taking it easy. Baltimore enjoyer. Join your union.

Apparently at least one person needs to hear this: if your car is on fire, stop driving.
2pm statement still hasn’t happened. If it’s really just to announce they’re moving Space Force I don’t know why it would be delayed this long.
This should give legal cover to any Guard member who wants to refuse orders to deploy to cities. Because we know Trump will ignore the ruling and give more orders.
My prediction is he got covid again.
The only problem with Bluesky is I don’t get 50 ads for missiles or Prager U shoved into my eyeballs every time I open it.
Spotted some bats in front of the house 🫶🏻🦇
This is my first September in 15 years to not be ruined by the end of the [gov] fiscal year and accompanying stress/long hours, and I’m so looking forward to it.
An important day today: the morning coffee switches from iced to hot.
If he’s sick I hope he has Mr. Kennedy Jr providing him all the medical advice and elixirs he needs.
I know a lasagna hates to see him comin
Agreed. And while I understand the sentiment behind not providing lids on to-go cups, it annoyed me. The veggie food options are good though.
Bike shops are going to be in big trouble too, I fear.
The Wednesday Night Massacre at #CDC. Key leaders depart after firing of Director. #RFKJr #Vought & #Trump have now destroyed the agency. Their acts will kill people. They have blood on their hands. www.statnews.com/2025/08/27/c...
Can we not interview kids on tv that were just in a school shooting? Feels extremely exploitative.
This weatherrrrrr 🎃🎃👍🏻👍🏻
I wonder what is happening with recruitment numbers for armed forces/nat’l guards. Feels like a story that could break through for some conservatives “Nation’s Military Readiness Facing Crisis” etc.
I love Baltimore, but it would be dramatically better if I could use a crosswalk without my blood pressure spiking. I just wanna get a little coffee or sandwich, not play high-stakes frogger.
Weather so nice it comes with allergies (can’t be TOO nice).
A lone cicada outside right now screaming where the fuck is everyone?? Sorry bud you overslept.
Oh no.

Former generals, admirals, etc. should be on every channel/platform warning of where this road ends if we keep going down it.
Friends/fam have asked me about law school and my answer is always that it’s only worth it if you can do it without taking loans.
As part of the transition from fossil fuels, in the near future our cars will be powered by dogs on treadmills. This is a cleverly disguised prototype.
What are those orange “C” things?
Every single crash attenuator and sand barrel in Baltimore is destroyed, which is the kind of thing the city should really fix but never will. And yes they’ll just be crashed into again, but that’s kind of the point.
Pritzker doesn’t seem like he’s testing the water (unlike Newsom) with all these good moves. I’m sure he is at least in part, but it also feels genuine.
A tv show I can go back to again and again: Jury Duty.
Not if you’re still catching your breath from putting on socks.
LMAO 18 minutes??? If you’re gonna get rid of the requirement you gotta do it at like 10 min/mile. Beyond that just admit you don’t care about fitness.
He does so much that I don’t think about things closely sometimes, like how WEIRD it is to wear a hat saying you were right about everything. Who would do that?!
This is extortion. Second paragraph from article: gov’t not providing any new consideration. “The investment will be funded by $5.7 billion in grants Intel was awarded under the 2022 CHIPS Act and $3.2 billion the company was awarded as part of the Secure Enclave program, the press release says.”
I’m convinced hospital/doctor apps and “patient portals” are deliberately designed to be confusing and useless.
Don’t let enjoying dead Dobson distract you from also enjoying potato chip bribe bag.
Catherine Pugh baby clothes press conference levels of chuckling.
I’m gonna randomly remember the potato chip journalist bribe and chuckle for YEARS.
64oz diet pop with diamonds instead of crushed ice.
The Eric Adams administration is gonna make for an excellent 8-part documentary series in a few years.
That’d be my guess too.
Me (to myself) watching the newest Mission Impossible: “that’s impossible, actually.”
Ask her for a cut!
The ‘DC restaurants stop selling boxes of cheeseburgers to fascists’ Challenge.
If I end a show with 3 minutes of credits left can my “smart” tv please go ahead and remove it from the “continue watching?” section.
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
The humiliation of Cuomo has been a rare win in 2025.
If I was gov of a southern/coastal state like Mississippi or SC, I wouldn’t send my guardsmen away on a stunt right when hurricane season really starts cranking. (Or ever, but 🤷🏼♂️)
ELITE
Rolls off the tongue
The last time I was in Dupont Circle I was running through a lingerie store and dropped my gameboy with a damning video cartridge from my trail cam into Will Smith’s bag (old friend) then I stole a messenger’s bike and sped away from some NSA goons before getting smashed by a truck, unfortunately.
My mail carrier looked so pissed delivering that book that’s going around to every house. I would be too!
Thinking about how the very people he told to “stand back, and stand by” are now being activated (with signing bonuses and a badge).
Maryland should gerrymander Hoyer out somehow (while still keeping it dem).
It’s hatching!
Getting an email from SSA about how much the president loves and is committed to protecting social security makes me immediately concerned some new terrible thing has happened.
Battlestar Galactica will never be the same.
I’m less anti-Seawall than a lot of Baltimore, but I think part of moving the Sisson site should be an acknowledgment by the city that the move is happening because Seawall wants that lot. And that Seawall has other props that could be considered for a new site if req’d by the terms of the deal.
Gonna form a joint ticket with Thiru.
The amount of “oh they’re closed but I don’t wanna come back tomorrow” illegal dumping would be so much higher than current (already bad) levels if the dump is moved down there where people would feel nobody is gonna see. And a lot of it will go straight into the water then harbor.
I know a vampire when I see one.
Finally watching that documentary about NXIVM and holeeeeey shit
Can’t believe I’m saying this about Politico, but this is really good. This is (was) my job in gov and all major media was making my head turn red-hot with steam shooting out when they reported on DOGE’s contract “savings” because they all had no clue what they were talking about.
Humidity coming back and I guess I’m ok with it this time because a lot of piggies in insecurity-signaling tactical gear are gonna struggle.
Spirit Airlines about to completely fail and I never even got the chance to wrestle for a seat on one.
Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.
Every one of those feds putting in for workers comp tomorrow after having to run over 30 yards at a moderate pace.
“There’s been no community input” is a sentence you can read and KNOW that there was community input. It’s as clear as hearing “I’m an avid cyclist too…” in signaling some bullshit is about to follow.
Journalist Anas al-Sharif with his daughter Sham and son Salah. Today's assassination of al-Sharif and four other Al Jazeera staff brings the number of journalists killed by Israel to 237. www.middleeasteye.net/news/al-jaze...
Trying so hard to straddle the poll-driven “middle,” even when it means you make no sense, is democrats’ favorite way of losing easy elections and Pete is working hard to be the next dem to lose a major election. What the hell is this nonsense??
Pleasant AF outside
“Political science experts”
If you don’t like the AI skepticism on bluesky there’s another app you can use 🤷🏼♂️. If you don’t like the AI skepticism you probably have an active account there already.
Saag paneer, a 10 out of 10 every time.
A horse OF COURSE
The groomer bejeweled my dog 💎
I feel like mosquitoes haven’t been as bad this year, but one of em got me right on the ankle bone which means peak itchiness.
Same, but for submitting [important] 311 tickets.
Falling off the White House roof would be a pretty funny way to go. Much funnier than Harrison refusing to wear a coat in winter.
Imagining a Musk Falcon Heavy exploding on lift-off and spraying the uranium fuel rods over multiple states.
But … why? If you need power on the moon beyond what you bring with you, couldn’t you theoretically set up solar? I don’t understand what this would accomplish.
A couple days ago I saw water seeping up through the asphalt on 33rd by the 7-11 in Hampden and thought “they better figure that out before we have a new sinkhole.” Went by today and it’s still seeping through. Uh oh.
Imagine telling the writers of the Declaration of Independence that one day the federal government will require you to financially/philosophically support a foreign nation in order to benefit from government programs your own taxes pay for.
Silly little hobbies are one of humanity’s best traits.
Boomers doing YouTube reviews of tech gadgets is my favorite art form of the last 20 years.
I miss the Orioles hype videos. Not sure if they just aren’t making them or if it’s that the team isn’t posting here. But even in a dog-shit season we can have a little hype, as a treat.
Are these universities that agree to pay 100’s of millions to the gov actually cutting checks or is it taken out of grants etc? Because if they’re sending funds, I would love to see an accounting of where that money actually gets deposited. Straight into Trump’s personal accounts maybe?
Taking my vitamins with a V8. Fuck you, Death!
Started a movie the other day and saw he has an Exec. Producer credit and turned that shit right off.
Dog Named Murph Lives Up To Name
I hold a conspiracy theory that Musk gets these rich idiots in government to agree to dig tunnels by saying they’ll be a form of bunker for the “elite.”
I’ve learned a little more about this and it makes what happened with today’s numbers much more ominous.
By this logic when his stooges give huge (fake) jobs numbers next month, the Fed should raise the interest rate.
I don’t know anything about labor statistics (other than it’s obviously bad to fire the head just because they gave numbers that make you look bad), but it does seem weird to me that they had to revise the previous two months so much lower. How does that happen?? Those were huge revisions.
In addition to all the other bad economic news, a lot of people’s student loans started adding interest again today. We need a Eugene Debs type candidate next, not a squishy compromise type.
wow Mike Elias you’ve made God cry. Wow
Baltimore city-wide crash out commence!
The “one thing he said” is literally him writing a group of people off because he disagrees with them. You’re defending him doing the thing you say we shouldn’t be doing.
It Happened To Me (again): I was confused by my CarPlay’s odd directions because turns out I was in bike mode in the map app.
