This one guy at 17th and Market made a killing back in the day selling t shirts with Calvin peeing on Joe Buck. Same guy was able to move product with anti-Rich Kotite shit on it and he hadn't coached the Eagles for decades at that point. That guy really understood his audience

I’ll be reading an excerpt from a book I’m writing for @barrelhouse.bsky.social about shopping malls.

Come to @lukeoneil47.bsky.social’s book launch at the P&P tomorrow night! Great lineup featuring @sad13.horse and Cody Roggio. I’ll also be there.

Maybe one thing NYers can learn from Philly is how to pick and choose which outsiders' opinions of their city to ignore, which ones to mercilessly mock, and which to monetize via t-shirts

Not enough is being made of the fact that this was a *pitbull mix* basically a dog that grows on trees

“It’s hard for me to imagine a more heartwarming family moment than bringing home a new puppy while simultaneously leveraging M&A announcements via omnichannel synergies to pump your biotech investment. I think we can all relate.” defector.com/tom-brady-cl...

I made a typo here. Mayor Joe is 88! And so he will be in his nineties when his next term ends.

Made a classic Philadelphia fashion faux pas this morning (Kelly green Eagles sweatpants, midnight green Eagles sweatshirt)

“Oddly, Williams also used her victory speech to address a prolific poster on Facebook who apparently accused the mayor of over-imbibing alcohol.” www.pennlive.com/elections/20...

He doesn’t do this. He doesn’t “weigh options”. He doesn’t think.

I wrote about Boise State losing to Hawaii Pacific, and that’s not an understatement. defector.com/boise-state-...

It‘s election day, and all the political press is focused on one race. The big question: Will Joe DiGirolamo, the 78-year-old mayor of Bensalem, Pennsylvania, win his ninth straight election?

For those who can't watch Monday Night Football because of rights issues, call me up, I'll do play-by-play.

To me, the embarrassing thing about "Wood" is the fact that it references Travis's podcast

“The float depicted what appears to be a look-alike of one of the main gates at the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp… The elaborate float also featured ghosts on a swing set and a rock ‘n’ roll jukebox.” www.pennlive.com/news/2025/11...

The Pizza Hut diner now has a painting of a couple admiring the Pizza Hut diner

I forgot to make a spooky music playlist for Halloween so I just put on Pure Moods. The trick-or-treaters seemed happy to step into the unknown…

I only had to buy the headband

Kentucky’s greatest weakness is playing someone that peaked in 1984.

In The Princess Bride, when the young boy was home sick. He was clearly well enough to be at school. Can't watch it

“If you scroll your cursor to the browser tab for the website, you can see it has his name spelled ‘Belichickk,’ and the site’s splash image links out to the GIF-hosting website Giphy.” defector.com/the-rise-of-...

I dug through the paperwork for all 18 LLCs that Jordon Hudson has registered with Massachusetts since she started dating Bill Belichick. They tell the story a young woman with big plans for her and her boyfriend. Gift link!

Congrats! Little Bob is a lucky guy.

I know how Saquon Barkley feels, as I once pulled a hammy on the field at the Linc (still caught the winning touchdown in the media game)

I’d turn this guy in but I’m scared of his mom

I really enjoy the implication of caution tape spattered with blood. It’s like that the cops were called for an initial murder but in the time since they showed up, even more violent acts have occurred near the original crime scene.

The journey of all 1,091 U.S. roller coasters ends with a toot around the track: defector.com/the-journey-...

I took this photo at the thrift to make fun of the idea of anyone ever buying a Byron Maxwell Eagles jersey. Five minutes later a woman took it off the wall and threw it in her cart.

Philly friends! Our second reading—celebrating the launch of @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's new book of short stories, 'We Had it Coming'—is going down at the Pen & Pencil on Thursday, Nov 6 at 7pm. Feat readings from @dhm.bsky.social, @sad13.horse, & Cody Roggio & co-presented by Lot 49 Books! 21+

I interviewed Rick Mathews, who rode every single roller coaster in the U.S. that he could. His journey of 1,091 coasters ended Sunday on a kiddie coaster he described as “violent.” defector.com/the-journey-...

guys!

I was behind a baseball writer in the parking lot. Pretty cool!

I tracked the results of Philly's new "Wellness Court," a fast-track court which offers diversion to drug treatment or a same-day trial. The city loses touch with most (usually unhoused) people they arrest in Kensington, and two people have since died from overdoses. bit.ly/3J1kHvc

The Clippers are like one of those reality shows where the contestants are people from other reality shows

Since for many of us who are not in LA or Canada, it's now the offseason, here's a cartoon gem I found today in the 1922 Philadelphia Inquirer. "Ball Players Are Not The Only Ones Who Train For The Season."
