why didn't Bush just tell the markets he was seeking a ceasefire every weekend to save the stock market? he looks pretty silly now doesn't he.

This was a surprise to see on my timeline. Apparently, there's a new NeoGeo coming out And not just some "mini" console with built-in games, but an actual console that's also compatible with original #NeoGeo cartridges! The NeoGeo+ plaionreplai.com/products/neo... @neogeo.bsky.social #retrogaming

Rygar on the NES was the first game I ever beat. So quirky and weird and awesome!

It's Rygar's birthday! That's right, 'twas this time back in 1987 when Rygar reached the Famicom. To celebrate, we are giving away a free copy of The Complete History of Rygar. To enter: 1️⃣ Follow 2️⃣ Repost Winner to be announced April 19th, 2026. 💌 retrogamebooks.com

More new jazz?!! Well, this one is more jazz-y than straight up jazz (though it is surprisingly on the Concord label). The track Something New About You caught my ear but the rest of the album isn’t like that at all. Reminds me of the trance-like stuff DJ Shadow made in the 90s. Me likey. #jazzsky

While this app is up, question for #Phillysky How’s the Seaport Museum for kids 6 & under? My sisters & I loved it but we were a little older when we used to go. Got the niece & nephew visiting & looking for an activity. They love museums & we’ve done the Ben Franklin & Please Touch many times.

This is adorable! Funko have officially released a DC Heroes Pride Jonathan Kent Pop! It has been released to celebrate the character and the spirit of Pride and honestly, I’m surprised it has taken this long for him to get his own Pop! More here: theaspiringkryptonian.com/2026/03/30/f...

I'm sure Adams thought his late style was better but he was wrong

Metallica's time of being a good band (1983-1988).

I would never rewear a pair of socks. I'd get a brand new pair every day, throw them away at night and never have to match socks from the laundry.

This Friday brings the release of "Immanuel Wilkins Quartet: Live At The Village Vanguard, Vol. 2," the second installment of a searing 3-volume document of the saxophonist's quartet in action at the hallowed NYC jazz shrine. Check out "Vol. 1": immanuelwilkins.lnk.to/LiveAtTheVil...

Jimmy Smith's 1963 band is really straining my "you can't have a great band without a great bass player" theory. I have to sit with that discomfort for a while. #jazzsky #jazz #philasongs tidal.com/album/132632...

Greg Norman and Bruce Springsteen both came damn close to running me over with their cars. Oddly, I hold it against Greg Norman, but was never mad at Springsteen.

ah yes. 3:05pm. the worst time of day to post anything *SEND*

I was super happy to find a store in Philly selling new CDs (Long in the Tooth at 20th and Sansom). Sadly, the first disc I got (Brandee Younger's new jazz harp album) just isn't for me. I feel like someone needs to teach me how to listen to music this chill. #jazzsky #jazz #philly

When I was on Jeopardy, one of the questions was basically "Who wrote The Russia House?". I buzzed in quick as can be and blurted out "John LeClair", which obviously wasn't right and lost me $1000, but no one can question my fan bonafides ever again.

Spice up your marriage by doing a Skeletor voice while making love to your spouse. Spice up somebody else’s marriage by doing a Skeletor voice while making love to their spouse. Spice up your job by doing a Skeletor voice while making love to your boss.

can someone who is a cultural expert and/or was an adult in the 80s clear up whether the Charles in Charge theme song was intentionally or unintentionally horny?

Teaching my kids to do a jigsaw puzzle is an incredible feeling of achievement. They did a 50 piece almost with no help at all, and Anson counted the pieces by 8 instead of 1 x 1. Real sharp for a five year old. #thepartsthatdontsuck

Commitment were definitely a find this week; Philly hardcore with passion and, well, commitment. The rest is pretty typical for me, but I need to point out: Weasels Ripped My Flesh is a damned peculiar record and time hasn't really softened that. @listenbrainz.org #listenbrainzmonday

Bully me into going to the game tonight cuz my brain is being a jerk and wants to do fuck all instead.

Sid Kroft died and it's just been lost in Trump's chaos

I'm conflicted: sad that I've never been as rd of this before now, but related that I now have. This is a ludicrous, but awesome idea.

samuel beckett was born on this day 120 years ago. astonishing to think that if he had survived, and could run 100m in 9.57 seconds, he would be not only the oldest but also the fastest man in the world - together with his nobel prize for literature, an astonishing trifecta

Today, as we celebrate the defeat of Viktor Orbán in the Hungarian election, let’s pay tribute to Seb Vettel, who famously wore this #SameLove T-shirt during the 2021 #F1 #HungarianGP weekend, to protest the anti-#LGBTQ+ laws introduced by Orbán’s government at that time. 🌈

Seems like this was the same impulse that led to "Heil Honey, I'm Home". Insane stuff going on in England at the turn of the 90's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Ho...!

Like where I am in my forty-second year of life and nearly as long as a storyteller in one form is another is that I would vastly prefer big swings and spectacular failures than tepid nothing-in-particular

"Being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead." -- Kurt Vonnegut, who died #OTD 2007

I do kinda wish more people would post about how their mid houses are often trashed, they operate with minimal motivation or energy, and they feel like they're failing their kids, but they still manage to eke out a decent life because God knows that's what it feels like a lot of the time.

Seems like the opposite of "opening the Strait".

I have an essay in here about Jungle Action and Billy Graham! Just in case you forgot I used to write things.

The title of this, of course, references BR's little-loved prog rock album 'Into the Unknown'. While I'd love Into the Unknown to be some unfairly maligned odd child, it's actually pretty bad. Seek it out if you ever want to hear a band as relentlessly consistent as Bad Religion sound lost.

What is "something Phil from Hercules might say"?

Great American Experience about all these points (which are absolutely true). Disco also bled into Philly Soul and P-Funk, so there's even more great disco-adjacent tracks. www.pbs.org/video/the-wa...

People seem to struggle to grasp that part of building a worthwhile society is refusing to let rapists take the levers of power, even if they promise you things in exchange.

I'm frustrated that I seem to be the only one on my block stealing cones. The Mrs. Had to drive around 20 minutes today looking for a spot because she won't take a cone spot. Then this dude had the nerve to yell at me about taking his. I'd love more people city-wide to step up on taking them.

Jazz OTD: John Coltrane recorded his legendary version of "The Inch Worm" on April 11, 1962 with his great quartet: McCoy Tyner (p), Jimmy Garrison (b), and Elvin Jones (d). Still a marvel decades later. #jazzsky

i’m in dc and just saw the weirdest thing, there were a bunch of people on the train wearing washington wizards gear and they got off at the station where the arena is, just mindboggling stuff

This is absolutely incredible news. Behind the Mask is a terrifically underrated film. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I'm happy to find the one person on Earth who likes Us more than I do.

These guys talking about their wives' rights are really raising a lot of questions already answered by their talking about their wives' rights.

Today on The Metal Show: Tati Salazar and Pierce Jordan from Philadelphia hardcore scorchers Commitment join the show to talk about the band's debut LP. Listen on Bandcamp Radio.

Western Addiction are amazing. If you haven't checked out their last record "Frail Bray", you should. westernaddiction.bandcamp.com/album/frail-...
