Per John Waters:

"I would never want to live anywhere but Baltimore. You can look far and wide, but you'll never discover a stranger city with such extreme style. It's as if every eccentric in the South decided to move north, ran out of gas in Baltimore, and decided to stay."

I agree. The building was beautiful but it's falling apart and dangerous and no one will invest the money to try to make it usable. The time for saving it was before that numbnuts bought the building and demolished part of it without following through on the project, and then left it to rot for a decade.

Meh I should have Googled Monarque because I am unfamiliar with it. Never mind then, kill the AI.

You'd think NASA would have learned after their shitty internal communication ended in the Challenger explosion and traumatized an entire generation of schoolchildren 😒

At least there's only one Atlas restaurant.

They are in storage. They aren't on display any more.

The judge issued a warrant for his arrest. Do you want her patrolling the streets for him?

This is like the fourth story I've read on Reddit in the past week that involved a grown man not wiping his ass properly. Do parents not teach their kids??

Those are US government dollars. It's in federal court.

Fair, statements to the media would not be protected, although I'd have to read the articles. I've read some and the majority seem to be quoting the complaint, which would still be covered by the court protection. They also included the opinions of the homeowners; opinions are not defamation. Calling someone racist is generally held to be an opinion. If they made a statement of fact in the media that is false, then the counterclaim may have legs.

I've been a lawyer for 20 years and regardless of what the pleadings say, there is absolute privilege against defamation in court proceedings.

No, this doesn't appear to be a legitimate countersuit. Statements made in pleadings or court are usually exempt from defamation claims because then literally everyone sued or charged with a crime would sue for defamation. It's not even a useful tactic for mediation because the counterclaim will immediately get thrown out.

Counterclaims make sense sometimes but this isn't it.

Hamilton is up and coming with families. It has a nice Main Street and a lot of the houses have yards.

I think there was arrogance, too. Like they are above petty laws and they can do what they want without consequences. It's common with corruption. Pugh and Dixon (and for example Trump on a national level) had the same attitude, like they did what they wanted and how dare you question my actions.

They are absolutely darling ❤️❤️❤️

Oh yay. What a beautiful kitty!

I'm up to like 20. Just submit to the takeover lol.

Aw. r/curledfeetsies would approve.

Second R House

Oh yea...I misread it and thought they walked through OP's home, not the neighbors'.

Contact your councilperson and tell then your neighborappears to be cooking meth and the police aren'tdoing anything. If you have a halfway decent one, their office will rattle some cages with BPD.

Omg a brewery with a void. I must go there post haste.

Ok...yea that's what I thought. That it would be vested and then calculated based on time in, not the full pension. Because one of the articles seemed to suggest that they could supplement their time in by getting a job in city government, which wouldn't be necessary if they got the full pension after 8 years.

I think that's about right. Does the bill provide for them to get a full pension? I haven't seen it and all the articles say they are "eligible" for a pension, which I guess I assumed meant that they are vested and would get something based on their years of service. If they get a full pension after 8 years, that is definitely bull.

Most government jobs come with a pension that vests after 10 years. The state and city do this I believe. The federal government does after 5. The amount is based on years of service so you get more if you work longer. I don't disagree about people not being able to vote on things that benefit themselves but in just pointing out that pensions for government employees are incredibly common.
