Local news coverage of coronavirus in all of Maryland's counties

I saw this Twitter thread and thought it might be interesting to do a similar compilation for the state of Maryland. There are 24 counties (including Baltimore City) in Maryland, which is small compared to Ohio or Minnesota which have upwards of 80 counties. I tried to focus on local news publications for each county.

A deep dive into the DC Metro challenge

On Saturday, Aaron Landry and I completed the Metro Challenge. It entails passing through every single station in the Metro system in a single trip. This is an extremely detailed explanation of what it's really like to attempt and finish the DC Metro Challenge. It's also probably more than you ever wanted to know about the Metro Challenge, but here goes. A Washingtonian writer did the challenge recently , which is how this idea got in my head.  Here's an earlier preview post with some of my thoughts about the challenge prior to attempting it . All in all, it was an adventure. Though some people may not find the concept appealing at all, doing the Metro challenge may be of interest to those who like transit. It's an interesting day trip idea and rather doable with the proper planning and execution. Here's a current map of the WMATA/Metrorail system  (PDF), for reference. At best, the challenge can be completed in around eight hours. Our final time was 7 hours,...

National Building Museum: underwhelming

On Saturday, I went to the National Building Museum for the first time. Although it's not directly on the Mall, it's still pretty conveniently located just outside of Judiciary Square station or a short walk from Gallery Place/Verizon Center.  So getting there was no problem, and in fact, I've walked past the building a number of times when arriving or departing DC from Judiciary Square. Only today did I finally pay the museum a visit, enticed by the prospect of a group discount on the ticket price (usually $10; $5 per person at the group rate if you have at least 10 people. Thanks to GGWash for organizing the outing so we could all get the group discount.)  Being interesting in urban planning and architecture now, I'd been meaning to visit the Building Museum at some point, since it seemed like a natural fit for those interests. Now that I've been there, I don't think I'd go back unless they got a new exhibit that seemed really interesting. The museum...

Interesting AI-generated words

 A bit of a detour from the usual after an unplanned hiatus. Brought to you by a new website I recently discovered, which generates new words based on AI. A good portion of the words themselves seem real enough, but the AI-generated definitions don't necessarily make much sense and are not etymologically accurate. Another feature of this website is producing AI-generated definitions of (real or fake) words you input. Here is a selection of words it generated:   eotrophy : the state of being subject to eotrophy; "these cells are in an eotrophy of differentiation" My definition:a fancy synonym for breakfast; eo meaning the first appearance of something (Greek) and -trophy referring to nourishment (or growth/development, as in atrophy) smashbox : a shop selling goods from a variety of manufacturers, typically on the basis of limited inventory; "a smashbox market" Note: this is actually the name of a makeup brand that does exist bozoism:  inability to resist conven...
