that

More infrastructure wouldn’t just be nice but it is the thing to solve the problem. Riders feel far safer riding on the sidewalks than they do on the streets in the city - if they felt safe on the streets, they’d be riding on them instead. Bike infrastructure is the only way to actually change it for the better.

> Please just don't go with the DC route, where you have to lock them up to specified areas, it's incredibly dumb.

The title of the post literally says they’re testing out no parking zones.

Eh - it’s missing the context of where the stations are too. The map as-is makes it look like Federal Hill, Pigtown, et al have convenient rail transit access

IANAL but I watch wrestling and people trademark a lot of things there. For example, Chris Jericho this year trademarked “The Ocho.”

Now you may be thinking, “Wait, surely ESPN has a trademark on that, right?”

Here’s the thing: Jericho trademarked it within the context of pro wrestling. Look at the trademark documents for “Charm City” and you’ll see similar qualifiers about it being in relation to football.

Essentially, they were looking to cease people from making purple “Charm City football” shirts which make profits while trying to circumvent the Ravens name. This wouldn’t give them the right to send a cease-and-desist to say Charm City Cakes or Charm City Meadworks. However, note that they got rejected because it was just “geographically descriptive” - essentially, the Patent Office said you can’t trademark a place’s name or existing nickname.

Yes yes, a “chemical” leak

This isn’t a Sun article

I didn’t realize Ceremony was so polarizing

I still use Alien Blue partially due to this

Because Baltimore doesn’t have a recall process. This is like when Fox45 put out a poll about recalling Brandon Scott despite it not being a thing.

Alaska System would be my preferred: open primary, top x proceed to ranked choice general.

Eh, it’s called a sweater still in hockey. Like how in soccer it’s the top of a kit. The aggression is unwarranted but calling it a sweater isn’t wrong.

No, I’m just reading the article. The bill reduces years served from 12 years to 8 to align with the new term limits.

It is partially the will of the people - it’s in reaction to the term limits referendum

It’s reducing the years served from 12 to 8 years, which aligns with the term limits that that group endorsed. How is that “brazen greed, corruption, and self-serving”?

Also it should be noted that’s it’s reducing the years served from 12 to 8.

I would still argue it’s better than giving former officer holders absolutely no pension. It also might not be legal for them to amend the size of their own pensions - I know for Congress, when they change their pay rates, it takes effect for the next Congress not the current.

Plus, what’s being missing in all the analysis here on Reddit is it’s changing it from 12 years to 8 years. It’s a reduction of a single term, and aligns with the new term limits.

Overall, it’s people freaking out over something that’s logical and not super corrupt, and that freak out only plays into the hands of those trying to further fuck up our government.

It really isn’t corrupt, it’s simple logic. Voters passed term limits, the consequence of that is that virtually nobody will then qualify for pensions per the current formula.

They should either (1) get rid of the term limits or (2) amend the pension to kick in after 8 years but be either lower paying or proportional in some manner.

What is corrupt, though, is the Sinclair scheme behind all of these changes to City government and the impact it’ll have.

Yuuuuup - welcome to the actual truth to term limits and limiting office pensions! People get won over by “oh term limits are good, gets rid of the bad ones quicker!” and “this is so corrupt!” but then they forget about what the actual macro impact is.

Similarly why you should never take at face value folks who push for Congress to not get pay during a government shutdown: it just puts pressure on lower income & lower wealth Congresspeople to break while those who are independently wealthy can afford to wait it out.

No, it's pretty obvious that the thing is an Instagram Story with a link to a list of things to do and that those are shopping bags. The above commenter even edited their comment to say "shopping" when it originally only said "plain paper bags." If you think it takes the CEO who themselves definitely didn't make that social media post to figure that out, that's on you.

It’s obviously representing shopping. The post seems to have a link to presumably a list of things to do.

They’re just speaking the truth. If there’s an 8 year term limit, then this is what was going to happen.

Quoting the first two paragraphs for synopsis of the soft-paywalled article:

> Work is wrapping up on a $55 million, yearslong upgrade of a major downtown roadway serving Baltimore’s developing waterfront neighborhoods. But the revitalization of Central Avenue’s streetscape has surprised some business operators and residents.

> Many expected a four-lane road, with two northbound and two southbound lanes, plus turning lanes, to ease congestion into Harbor East and Harbor Point. Instead, two lanes will be eliminated, and a protected bicycle path will run between sidewalks and parking lanes.

The article goes on with quotes from businesses aghast at bike lanes. I’m quite happy that the plan is the dieting of Central Ave - it was obviously an old transit street from its width so this is returning it to some part of that usage, and the wide lanes that existed previously made people speed ridiculously in such an area.
