You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

I can't imagine earning $25 million a year and not absolutely excelling at my job. All of Philly today:

All for October. #RedOctober

Because it's Friday, and my brain has stopped working for the week, this took me one more guess than it should have... #Schwardle #1 3/6 💣⬜⬜⚾⚾ 💣💣⬜💣💣 💣💣💣💣💣

UPDATE: I'm gonna need everyone to vote for this on LEGO's Ideas page. We hold these truths to be self-evident. Please and thank you. beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Well, now I have to marry Harrison Bader...

SHUTDOWN STAKES: Democrats want to renew ACA Marketplace tax credits to keep health insurance costs from skyrocketing for 24 million Americans. Trump & Republicans refuse to negotiate because “iLlEgaL iMmigRaNts.” Who’s gonna tell them the truth? www.cnbc.com/2025/06/10/g...

Happy Birthday, @queenkandis.bsky.social!!

Hey remember when the CDC dropped 6 of the 8 foodborne illnesses from the nationwide monitoring system in July and one of them was listeria? Mentioning for no particular reason www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

How is it October already?!

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com. I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team. Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.

Colin Kaepernick is funding an independent second autopsy for Trey Reed, the Black student found hanging from a tree at Delta State University, after the Mississippi State Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide.

girls be like “I needed this” and it’s literally just the Epstein files and an Elizabeth Warren-type sixty-five point plan for how Democrats are going to make sure the 2026 elections are free and fair

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

it's HAPPENING! I've revealed the subject of my next book and it's YES of course, it's a deep dive into #BattlestarGalactica! For that news and a few thoughts on the #BSG convention that just took place, read this! 💚🔥 www.moryan.com/its-official...

look not to go all Wheelchair Guy about it but if the powerful people who spend all day whining about how people are mean to them ever faced a single droplet of actual adversity I truly believe they would crumble into a pile of dust and blow away in the next soft breeze

I think an underappreciated motivation on the right is how much they just don't like people not liking them. Like an absolutely massive grudge right wingers have about social media is that they very quickly realise they're unpopular on every site except the ones specifically for them.

EXCLUSIVE: ATX TV Festival was supposed to expand under Penske Media. Instead, founders Emily Gipson and Caitlin McFarland tell @snoodit.bsky.social the backing they needed never came. Now, with Noah Hawley and others investing, they’ve reclaimed the fest’s indie roots theankler.com/p/jay-penske...

This is a delightful story (and it includes a Kiddie City mention!). I think Phil and Phillis need to be at next year's All Star Game. #Phillies

Eleven Phillies have hit 35+ home run seasons. How many can you name? I scored 8 out of 11. ✅✅✅✅❓✅✅✅✅❓❓ Try yourself:

“We have a sacred assignment to remind the world of its dreams, its failures, its laughter, its courage, and most especially, its hope.” -Mary Steenburgen #Emmys

Yes, Jeff Hiller!!!! #Emmys

Not to brag, but Emmy award winner Katherine LaNasa told me she loved my “Fuck the Patriarchy” necklace earlier this year. 💁🏼‍♀️

Yes, that famously celebrated group in America: women. What I wouldn't do to be celebrated the way women are celebrated in this country. Just falling all over themselves to applaud and venerate women!

“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

How it started How it’s going @SenJoniErnst edition

Breaking: According to Minneapolis police, two children — ages 8 and 10 — have been killed in the church shooting. 14 children and three adults injured. Minneapolis mayor Frey: "Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying."

It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief. Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen. My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.

Phillies announce roster moves: - Joe Ross released. - Jordan Romano to IL with “with right middle finger inflammation.” - Daniel Robert recalled from Triple-A. - Lou Trivino had his contract selected from Triple-A.

Strap in for a longer-than-usual #MadePossibleByPopCulture because Nick Wechsler & I talk about the making of his new war-dinosaur film #PrimitiveWar, growing up listening to Mike Patton via multiple bands, and some tangents about the entertainment industry itself: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eFa...

#ThePitt Season 2 Teaser

I love that Cal Raleigh just had to sit there and watch Kyle Schwarber inch closer to his home run total for the season. #Phillies

If your Wednesday needs a boost, maybe @guster.bsky.social can help...

Maybe it’s because I’m a state legislator, but I’m worried about the under reaction here. She didn’t spend the night on the House floor. She’s being DETAINED AGAINST HER WILL BY REPUBLICANS UNTIL SHE FOLLOWS THEIR ORDERS. This is 🦇 💩

And he wonders why he's considered the worst Chris 🙄

Just to be clear, states have constitutional authority over their elections, not the federal government. Trump's attacks on mail-in voting are illegal and purely designed to sow distrust in the 2026 midterm election results. Your reps should be saying that. 👉 5calls.org/issue/electi...

She doesn’t need a hero, she is the hero we need. 🤩

#Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 Trailer

Philly sports is being represented well on podcasts today. Howie Roseman on @thephilliesshow.bsky.social, Governor Shapiro on The 6-1-1 Podcast, Dawn Staley on @imopodcasts.bsky.social, and that one football podcast also has a pretty big guest. Now I just have to find the time to listen to them all!

This is the content that I needed today. 😂

I was sort of half watching the trailer and then I heard "KYW NewsRadio" and remembered that this was filmed in the Philly area, so I immediately restarted it to pay better attention...

Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth. Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth. Pennsylvania has the money to fund mass transit across the commonwealth.

This is a really important corrective to a lot of reporting today. Trump did not—and cannot—federalize MPD. The police force remains under the ultimate control of the mayor.
