Historic sites nerd & ne'er-do-well. Cereal aficionado. Dad-jokester. Passionately ambivalent. Living in the Midwest but a Marylander for life.

And yes I am also still thinking about the guy on Jeopardy! last night who buzzed into a question about what news service first announced the death of Abraham Lincoln with “what is the Huffington Post?”

And you wonder why fans hate umpires! 🤷‍♂️

What should've been a 4-1 lead now turned into a 5-4 deficit and a possible injury to your young star catcher!

Part of getting old is realizing that you’ve become a cliche.

Today for a pool hang, I made an Orange Crush in my Ravens tumbler & drank while wearing my Old Bay hat.

Cliche: You can take the boy out of Maryland, but you’ll never take the Maryland out of the boy.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck married in 2005 and split in 2018. The couple shares three children. https://t.co/IRdDfjhfw5

Why am I just seeing this now? This might be the greatest MLB X account interaction. A lot of screenshots but definitely worth your time. Follow along in the thread below because this might be the best thing you’ll see on here all week.

I wonder if these two are married or still together.

From the back of the plane: We are all watching and silently judging how efficiently you get your sh*t together and de-plane.

Didn’t see you out there with a chainsaw when a derecho leveled Cedar Rapids.

Since the Orioles refuse to give us life, I’m trying to keep mine going.

I’m currently searching for a kidney donor. Please share this post, and if you or someone you know may be interested in donating, contact me for more information.

As a Ravens fan from the 1996 season on, I’ll speak for all of us when I say that we love what Iowa football has given to our team.

[Notes on Iowa @notesoniowa]

Iowa Time Machine ⏰: On April 28, 2007, the Baltimore Ravens selected Marshal Yanda in the third round of the NFL draft. A standout lineman at Anamosa High School, North Iowa Area Community College, and the University of Iowa, Yanda went on to a Pro Bowl NFL career.

Known for his work ethic, the Cedar Rapids Gazette featured the 13-year-old Yanda for raising Cornish roosters to save money for a pickup truck. A standout athlete in Anamosa, Yanda excelled in football, basketball, and track. After high school Yanda enrolled at NIACC in Mason City and played right guard for the Trojans.

By the time the 6’6”, 310-pound Yanda signed with the Hawkeyes in 2004, he’d already collected 1st-Team All-Region and honorable mention NJCAA All-American honors while playing at NIACC. Continuing to bring his outstanding work ethic to the trenches in Iowa City, Yanda earned second-team All-Big 10 honors while gaining the attention of professional scouts.

Drafted with the 86th overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft, Yanda set about making an impression immediately. After appearing in all sixteen games his rookie season, the Anamosa product continued to develop into one of the league’s best linemen. With six consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 2011 to 2016 (the longest active streak amongst guards at the time), Yanda gained a reputation as one of the league’s best linemen while winning a Super Bowl (XLVII). Yanda spent his entire thirteen-year career with the Ravens. #Iowa #OTD #History #Football #NFL

Quick question: Does food safety include water quality? Because Iowa could use a little help in that department.

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

GR8 NEWS USDA has announced its relocating services to #1 ag state: IOWA Plans 2 establish new National Food Safety Center in Urbandale This comes after I kept pushing USDA 2 move positions + projects to Iowa This is expected to bring JOBS + significant investment 2 the region

.......thanks?

The secret of America is there really isn’t an ugly state. Even North Dakota & Iowa have breathtaking beauty in their own right.

[Nicola Burkinshaw @NABurkinshaw]

Nick Cave responding to a grieving mother who worries that she forsaw, or perhaps even willed, the death of her young child is one of the most beautiful things you will read today.

An incredible reflection on the value and meaning of the modern workplace. I feel this in my bones and wish I had written it myself….

[Greg Scaduto @GregoryScaduto]

A colleague once swiveled in his chair and said: "I cannot believe this is my life at this point. There was a moment, years ago, where I could have gone a different direction. And I didn't. And I think about it."

I wrote this for everyone who has ever had that thought.
