RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them

I commuted by bike today and I am grateful to have dodged a regional rail apocalypse today

I remember seeing over and over again young guys and random moms who claimed they were voting for Trump to "avoid WW3" and ... just ...

Orna what the hell

absolutely incredible.

Feeling the need to post this spot on @michaelhobbes.bsky.social idea again. Don’t even give them direction, just fund them.

SAVE THE DATE: Philly Comics Expo is 10/5/25 from 10-6 Old Pine Community Center in Philly! I’ll be there with Hellscape Americana, Pulp Bytes, and plenty of new stuff! See ya there! #pcx #phillycomicsexpo #comics #indiecomics #horrorcomics #convention

Took a rideshare tonight and the driver put on a playlist of bland covers of Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber and … was that for me? Was he already listening to it? Why stream that and not the regular songs? Did he know they were covers?

My latest for the Weavers Way Shuttle 🛸

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

NEW YORK (AP) — Anthropic agrees to pay authors $3,000 per book in landmark settlement over pirated chatbot training material.

A year ago, doctors told me I had neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. I’d probably been living with it for a decade. I will likely never be cured. But after a year of surgeries, radiation and monthly shots with a giant needle, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. defector.com/my-life-with...

My train into work and my train home were both cancelled and they aren’t even part of the cuts 🙁

Guide to tomatoes for The Weavers Way shuttle:

@septaphilly.bsky.social I’m begging you — if you’re going to cancel entire regional rail trains to have that reflected in the app

McGlinchey’s was my first happy hour bar and it set an impossible standard for what a bar should be

Angry about the septa cuts but the slight bright lining is the train now leaves a couple minutes after my kid’s school drop off so I won’t have to wait an hour at the coffee shop before going to work

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

I feel like there is some kind of sick and twisted logic or a terrible but somewhat coherent ideological thread behind a lot of what the Trump administration does, but shit like this is just baffling. Just the dumbest possible decisions for the worst possible outcomes.

Hey, if you have access to Kanopy, the FREE LIBRARY STREAMING service, you can watch Annihilation. Kanopy is one of the best services you can get! Usually for free through your local library - check it out

Everything I know about writing I learned from event blurbs

I have two parenting pro tips: 1. Watch lightly animated versions of children’s books on kanopy, which is free with a library card. They are animated so kids watch them but they are also chill and some of them are from the 80s.

The humblest of brags, the braggiest of embarassing stories

Professional cereal

given Superman's age and pop-punk predilection in the new film I argue it is not only entirely possible but highly likely that he chose his superhero name based on the song by Goldfinger

Evidence is mounting

Watching the X-Files. it’s always something with these two

Yes this is a good reminder plus for as little as $5/mo your station donation gets you PBS Passport with access to tons more episodes and films. 5x12=60.

Not sure why @septaphilly.bsky.social decided to run only two cars on the only train that leaves center city to all of Germantown, Mount Airy, and chestnut hill during rush hour but it’s pretty messed up.

The wildest thing about Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is how many strong opinions Peter has about New York City public policy

Did a deep clean of the house this weekend, I have to tell everyone because you can’t tell

I'm pretty anti AI ... but we've actually been using AI for decade(s) to do things to remove like remove power lines from movies.

It is hard to understand how @septaphilly.bsky.social added “rush hour trains” to CHW to accommodate CHE shutting down … and actually increased the wait time between the train that leaves Center City at 5 and the next train (44 minutes!!!)

A a new home team.

i think, unfortunately, that this may be my masterpiece

I was (a) patient

The real headline from NYC today: CARTOONIST'S HUSBAND WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY (h/t: @adamszym.bsky.social & @pang5.bsky.social)

The AI debate is complicated bc there is a subset of people – many of them very online and very vocal – who find the stuff people offload to AI pretty easy, so offloading it seems *harder* than just doing it yourself. (I am one of these people).

I saw Malcolm Gladwell walk down the street in Hudson NY, and then a couple minutes later he walked by again eating an ice cream cone.

I wish we could “switch 2” a functioning democracy.. Thank you

Man if Trump was wrong about Elon, what else might he be wrong about? Sheesh that's a lot to think about.

Still drawing all the books I read

my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies

Yum

Cheers is my favorite show of all time. RIP Norm

We’re doing it for him
