I was a little less critical of this hire than some bc I wanted to be open-minded about a reset but man….this does not inspire much confidence.
Reporter: "In your best-case scenario, do you want Aaron Rodgers back as your quarterback next year?"

Mike McCarthy: "Definitely. I mean, I don't see why you wouldn't... I watched most of the Pittsburgh games on TV, and I thought he was a great asset for the team." 🏈🎙️ #NFL

Update: I did a Peloton peace meditation *while* baking muffins and watching the snow, and I know that’s not how meditations are supposed to work but it’s what I needed and next I’ll have chocolate banana muffins in approximately 17 minutes.

My brain is bouncing between feeling deeply sad & enraged, and trying to disassociate by focusing on little things that bring joy.

So to the latter point: We better not wind up with the traditional 2-4 in of snow letdown in Baltimore, because the ❄️ was where I was focusing my disassociation.

These people say they want a Christian America.

Hard to get more American than a lawful gun carrier working at the VA.

Hard to act more Christian than risking your own safety to help someone in trouble.

It simply does not matter who you are to these animals.

@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social I honestly don't remember which of my friends or outlets recommended Cup of Coffee to me but reading the free weekly has become such therapy (on both the I-miss-baseball front AND the world-is-burning front) and I'm sorry it took me THIS long to become a $ subscriber.

I love this piece (and Trinity) SO much.

We are spoiled to live in a part of Baltimore that gets a wide variety of birds, and right now, said birds are all chirping as if spring is upon us.

Did I mention how enraged I am that the forecast includes 22 degrees and FREEZING RAIN? A thing that shouldn't be possible?

The video team has spoiled themselves: Trinity Rodman is staying at the Washington Spirit through 2028. Financial details still under wraps but a huge, huge deal for the Spirit to get done.

A pitcher the Yankees were never going to give up the prospects to acquire goes to a team that isn't the Yankees.

I also just want to add that freezing drizzle when the air temperature is forecast to be SEVENTEEN DEGREES sounds like my version of hell.

Ah yes, the joys of reading local weather forecasts in winter, when every media outlet is like "50% chance we get snow within the amount of this 12-inch range, but also, 50% chance our totals fall either below or above this range."

Shout-out to @thebaltimorebanner.com for leading with this story (at least for a bit) today because it was so refreshing to read something delightful (and VERY Baltimore) to start the day: www.thebanner.com/baltimore/cr...
Crows bring gifts to some Marylanders, but murders leave their marks
Perhaps crows capture our imaginations because we have so much in common. Like other members of the corvid family — jays, ravens and magpies — crows possess a singular intelligence.

I enjoy that this post was relevant no matter when you tuned into the game, but the tone of it changed wildly.

In happier thoughts, THIS. @atom7895.bsky.social has both said to me & heard me rant about how Baltimore's CFG is beyond perfect for a PWHL team, a WNBA team, or (meh) a G League team. I'd argue it's way nicer than Capital One, and ours is a city that would immediately embrace said team as our own.

Getting this news alert while cueing up an MLK Day email nearly broke my brain...

Truly, any time I try to process this kind of puerility, my thoughts flash to that old blue "Fatal Exception" error screen.

Eventually when you only win in comebacks, your luck has to run out, right?
