they did x on a y is one of the top ten echolalia of all time

😭 heartbroken, rest in peace

if you go you have to post things like "i'm going downy ocean" is that a burden you're willing to take on?

modified panel from the left behind graphical novel by an editor of the fandom wiki for the left behind series. a blond man (nicolas carpathia, the antichrist in left behind) says: "the word tribulation will not begin to describe what's in store from you! if the last three and a half years are your idea of a tribulation... wait until you endure the great tribulation!"

😭 left behind wasn't created for people on al gore's internet to forget about all of the numerous and weird ways american christians are weird about isreal. op truly putting us through a tribulation

😭 iso went through all the trouble to write up ISO 8601 for this to still happen

oh no, we regret to inform you that one of the substack rationalists that we have subskeeted in the past liked top post bsky.app/profile/bemo...

generic white person. will corner you at a party to talk to you about pronatalism and their latest gpt-level hallucination about metaethics

the problem with reading a substack is that at first you read it for the base Being Wrongness, and then after a few mentions of ssc and rationalism you're reading a pro-natalist bender wondering if the motherfucker is on a goddamn white supremacist arc

screenshot of a terrible substack, text reads: "I determined that the most significant difference between them is how they each manage the complexity of the world: Utilitarianism is about building a very complex and accurate model of the world, calculating the positive and negative consequences of everything, which works great in theory but is insanely hard to do. Deontology is about using a simplified model that captures something important in a small set of rules, at the risk of neglecting other concerns. Virtue ethics is about borrowing a complex model that already exists and is embodied in another person that is perceived as virtuous. Since then I’ve become obsessed with analyzing everything through this 3-way lens: making a complex model, making a simple model, and using a borrowed model. "

we have once again made the terrible mistake of reading things on a substack and people just can make up whatever bullshit they want as long as they're sv-adjacent enough, can't they.

we got nerd sniped trying to figure this out and the best answer we could come to is that frederick county has 2x the % vietnamese population compared to bmore, and roughly 2x the % of asian people more broadly (4.94% vs 2.8%)

our other thoughts about how dpw workers couldn't access water and gatorade but the mayors office got to have as many flowers, fruit plates, and expensive football parties as they pleased are redacted because they would clearly violate the terms of service

text from the p-card manual. text reads: "Other prohibited items include: flowers (not for any reason)"

gpt zero for the flowers section in the city's response (claimed to be authored by chief of staff John David Merrill) showing 91% likelihood of being AI generated.

one of the thing's that's quite galling about baltimore city's response to the OIG report about P-card abuse and failure to obtain waivers is that the p-card manual is clear that flowers are prohibited for any purpose and then john david merrill turned to ai generated slop to justify it.

Why are you, a Baltimore City “Democrat,” leaving the fate of Baltimore City children up to Justin fucking Ready.

these numbers are comparable to the great migration.

I know the bar is in hell, but come on.

thinking of the earnestness of any supposed person on an app that financially rewards engagement (and in turn intensification) reminds us of havel's greengrocer; the sign in the window reading "workers of the world unite" only says so much about their convictions.

on the topic at hand, we're legally obligated to cite Banks "The Disappearing Public Toilet" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

on the implicit topic: dunks on random "leftists" from x the nazi csam app get engagement but it's not good for one's wellbeing. poswid, hon. it's more pragmatic to leave

the year is 2075. the amoc collapsed, baja blast production ended 30 years ago. what remains of bmore still gathers at camden yards, a tattered jumbotron plays the clip of The Baja Blast Homerun, as the announcer's voice fills the air the crowd craves an iconic tropical lime flavor they can't have.

god willing, someone will hit a homerun onto the warehouse at camden yards and the announcer will dutifully have to say "He Baja BLASTED it over the fences, this home run replay brought to you by Mountain Dew Baja Blast" and the clip will be replayed in full for the next 30 years

A light pole on the sidewalk covered in stickers, including one that reads: end white Christian nationalism

Baltimore keeeping it real. End white Christian nationalism.

it's the same energy as bmore dot committing to improving bike infrastructure along roland park ave (which already has bike infra) because it happens to be in the bike master plan while simultaneously Not doing bike infrastructure on other resurfaced streets in the bike plan outside of the white L

point of contention: aluminum production requires massive amounts of electricity. to produce it for the war effort in ww2 the us put some of the largest dams in the world on the colombia river for it. isn't that more metal than just running some blast furnaces?

also deeply annoyed that they keep trumping up supposed ada violations committed by dorsey when so few parts of city hall or state government functions are Actually Accessible anyways.

for no reason at all, thinking about how the only signs we've seen for nix 66 were put up by one of the weird gutter racists in the neighborhood with four different security cameras pointed at public space

gptzero puts the copy on reverse canary mission at coinflip odds or better of being ai generated which poses some interesting questions!

if we take car insurance rates as a proxy measure for the driving like shit olympics, louisiana, florida, and dc can all look forward to big transit investments coming their way soon

conservatives being weird about shariah law is a tendency that's now at least old enough to drink, we wish they'd try some new stuff like trying to ban the law of excluded middle, newton's law, or canon law.

little known fact: mike elias was once let go from one of his early jobs at a car repair shop because he kept refusing to get new starters 😔

marc? bwi airport station to union station dc for 8usd

😭 "everyone" is an indefinite pronoun

after you win the duel, what 311 request would you they ask you to call in? illegal dumping investigation? missed mixed refuse pickup? bulk trash pickup? 🤔
