Dudamel???

No matter what, Mbappe.

I applaud the French player’s work life balance. If they make you come in on a weekend you half-ass it, that’s right

So, uh, how about transit?

I own enough Philly merch and shouldn't buy more, but I would make an exception for official I love my country, Philadelphia swag

Watching Mexico and that other "country" from a 1/3 full bad brother whips

C'mon folks, it's nearly 2am, we can't be censoring Meek Mills

This is an extraordinarily Jewish sentiment. Amen

International collaboration drives some of the world's biggest breakthroughs. Lindsay House explains how a proposed federal rule could make that collaboration more difficult — and what it could mean for scientific research. Submit a public comment: https://go.aps.org/4vUO0ST

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

You yutz, that wasn't an affirmation, it was a brief reprieve before the next horrible decision. If you're not ready to reform the court, you're not qualified to be a senator. Go hang out with the Bailey's or something

You may have heard about the OMB rule change that will put politics over federal grants. However bad you think it is? It's probably worse. Thanks to @theverge.com for letting me report this one out. There is still time to comment. bit.ly/4v2X4nQ

Great write-up from the national paper of record

Give Nikil Saval a Gundam

Poetic description of Kruk

We will never have any hope of moral progress until we declare that the republic is about more than luxury real estate and influencer culture. We must reject the opiate of domination for the purifying hardship of Commonwealth and liberty for all. Feel the bite of the morning wind. Live.

These numbers are enormous, well beyond the scale of normal project grants or even major multi-center initiatives. Capital is raiding the NSF. This is not a serious policy proposal, they're just taking money from public-interest research and funneling it to wealthy friends and donors.

I love my country, Philadelphia

Very bizarre to see a national story that's entirely centered around my very niche area of expertise Re: the reflecting pool

I still blame Nola

I once spent a warm September Sunday afternoon with a friend hanging at Ralph's and watching the fightins lose in Miami. We were joined by a friendly gentleman from Blackpool who had nothing nice to say about baseball but such sweet things to say about hanging at a bar and chatting with Americans

March 9: "We're now totally independent of the Middle East. We don't need their oil." April 1: "It doesn't really affect us. We have so much oil, much more than we need." June 17: If I didn't agree to the MOU, we "would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks..."

hardening on the view that a history book from 2167 will simply say "the invention of the internet decoupled 30-40% of the human population from any concept of a shared reality, and everyone suffered enormously because of it"

Phils win, heading home to WC on Telemundo, B"H

🇺🇦💔 Zelensky: As of now, 28 people are injured and four have died in the capital. Due to the Russian strike on Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Assumption Cathedral burned down - a church whose history began in the 11th century. 1/3

Russian attack leaves historic Kyiv cathedral in flames and kills five in Kharkiv

Now *that's* a city baybee

Vibe at Lemon Hill was real good. I was a doubter, but it's a fun space. Hell yeah

This Alexi Lalas fellow, don't care for him.

Each and every post about someone experiencing the US/Canada/Mexico for the first time brings such joy. I would pay good money for a thread of just that

Lmao, no.

Wait. Google maps can go into your house??

This is what the world cup is all about - cultural exchange, like between the great nations of France and Philadelphia

Really sweet article!

This puts all federal grants and contracts under the thumb of a commissar. It is profoundly anti-democratic and destructive. Political control will be instituted over science and every cent the USG disburses. Speak up now. This is really bad. It cannot stand. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/o...

European vlogger touring every World Cup city’s food scene absolutely falling in love with the great city of Philadelphia 😂 youtu.be/RHzk7k14foU?...

Immigrants make up 16% of Philly's population, and that in of itself is an achievement. Without immigrants and transplants we'd be shrinking rather than growing, and I'm sick of people complaining about it. Our greatest resource is people, and we should want more of them, and all of their brilliance

This is true, but also please calibrate your instruments

Happy pride to all the whalers out there

I guess the annual budget of $872 million for the Philadelphia Police Department in 2026 just isn’t enough.

Wow, look at that. A growing transit system. Maybe we could get some of that juice here in Philly

God bless Christopher Sanchez

(i) this user has no plan for when senate Republicans tell Philly to get bent, yet again.

NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

Listen, it's late and our boys are sleepy

I know we say this all the time, but could you imagine if a democratic politician openly bragged about immiserating red states?
