@mddirtlaw I think they tweet got cut off it should have read "the Human is cooing bacon for Mags" right?!?!?!

Good morning, peeps. Mags is having a lie in until the wind calms down a bit. And the Human is cooking bacon.

dear D's ...... when fighting against any future tax bills.....attach names of people/corps that will directly benefit from any line item....this is powerful messaging. Ask person on the street if they think Jeff Bezos should pay less is better than the "top 1%"

drive by management who drop in on 1/10 meetings and just cause chaos is SO FRUSTRATING! equally frustrating is management NOT stepping up and making actual decisions.....

Apparently just by being bases at Corp HQ and visiting one of the Corp data centers I scored some major good will

@jemillerbalt Ummm, NO...this is a gimmick and not serious. My property taxes are too high BUT a $1k check once is NOT the solution.

Baltimore mayor wants city residents to pay an 8% sales tax. 2% higher than the rest of the state. Then use proceeds to give $1000 property tax relief payment to property owners

Ummm, NO...this is a gimmick and not serious. My property taxes are too high BUT a $1k check once is NOT the solution.

if tariffs are all about fentanyl .... why the flip flop? why the delay? also just heard POTUS say tariffs are about jobs and getting manufacturing back to the US.... maybe the Secretary of the Treasury didn't get the updated talking points?

did everyone catch the coming spin.....when the economy tanks it is Biden's fault.....this will be true if it happens this year or in 2028......

@thebrokenplate sounds like one of the window people we had out....

Any recommendations for a siding company that doesn’t employee intense sales techniques? I have ptsd from the last sales pitch.

@BreakingNews4X smart states should be hiring them

Turns out most of the IRS agents fired were forensic auditors trained to audit corporations and billionaires.

Watch as air traffic clears the debris zones

@OliverStrawhat the risk is too long term for the grifters pushing this for short term gains and the fool who listens to them.....

This will expose the U.S. to undue risk . #Bitcoin is the currency of kleptocratic and other assorted scumbags .

@perlchyk @RapidResponse47 guessing the status quo will reign.

The rationale for having more light later is all about feelings and fun, but I would ask people to consider what months of going to work in the dark and cold would be like for people who start work early in the morning - like a lot of blue collar workers. 7am start times are quite common. Examine the lower left picture. Also, you people should get up early sometimes and see more sunrises. Maybe you'd learn to like mornings instead of being pissed off that you've survived the night. I still think MI, IN and 1/2 of OH and 1/2 of KY are in the wrong timezones, regardless of whether we let it ride or change it.

POTUS on Daylight Savings: "It's a 50/50 issue and if something is a 50/50 issue, it's hard to get excited about it. I assume people would like to have more light later, but some people want to have more light earlier because they don't want to take their kids to school in the dark... A lot of people like it one way. A lot of people like it the other way.

@eric_hontz Sure privatization can work BUT selling off Amtrak / USPS is going to end poorly. They will be sold on the cheap then milked for every last $ and then need to be bailed out / eliminated.

British Rail is privatized. Deutsche Post is privatized. Somehow “socialist” Europe can privatize these “essential government services”

@phriendlyphotog I though the ONLY advantage to fascism is that the trains would run on time? was I lied to? :-)

"they're slow!" "they're unreliable!" Yea, because they're quite literally MADE to be that way. Amtrak has its management issues, and can sometimes feel like it's run by morons, but to say trains are inherently ancient and not useful anymore is just comically wrong.

Imagine the feds sold the highways and interstates to freight trucking companies in the 70s and car travel became immensely restricted. The govt told them they had to yield to drivers and buses, but no trucker takes that seriously, and just chugs along slowly and deliberately...

@InfoSecSherpa No festival to celebrate our notable tree.... atlasobscura.com/places/al-capo…

Don't miss Philly's Cherry Blossom Festival!

@eric_hontz @MayorBMScott @Zeke_Cohen why hire local talent? they are suckers who choose to live in Baltimore....outside consultant are better!!!! </sarcasm> so much local talent in so many things!

More of this please ⁦@MayorBMScott⁩ ⁦@Zeke_Cohen⁩ - consolidate & move the process online. Next step integration permit process into 311 app along with DPW billing information. There’s a lot of tech talent right in Baltimore that could help thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-power…

How dumb and weak you must be to take an action that has obvious consequences then then flip flop on it the next day?

@davidmintecon @TonyPannWBAL and then cancel that project in 18 months b/c well it is google!

If NOAA shut down, Google would simply relaunch Loon and repurpose the balloons for weather data. Probably at a 10 to 20x improvement The point of shutting down government agencies isn't that they aren't important, it's that they are so important that the private sector will do them infinitely better and more efficiently

Ok. I guess I have to address this. The information on your phone app comes FROM data provided by NOAA for free. NOAA gathers weather data (daily balloon launches) and feeds it into the modeling so your phone can tell you it's going to rain tomorrow. Saying we don't need NOAA or the NWS because I can see the weather on my phone, is like saying we don't need farmers because I can just go to the grocery store. End of rant. You may continue scrolling....

Dear Google just because I search for something doesn't mean I want to buy it
