Honest to God: NBC once made me take the phrase "jerkin' off" out of an article I wrote. Glad to see they're loosening up over there. bsky.app/profile/base...

Yeah cause it’s the kind of thing you propose building to appease the ego of a narcissistic leader whose army just got its asked kicked by a Black military general (Touissant L’Overture) and Black enslaved people who ran your troops off their island. It’s a monument to ego and defeat. Perfect.

No local coverage on Hulu, so we're watching a college softball game on mute with Scott and Larry on audio and it's . . . wild.

Me trying to tune into Bluesky

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Three people you don't want to get into a public beef with are Kendrick, Isaac Chotiner, and The Pope

Are the Phillies pressing at the plate? “I think that’s a question for everybody else,“ said Harper, who hit a garbage-time homer in the ninth inning. ”I feel great, so I’m not sure." www.inquirer.com/phillies/phi...

Some wanted to change Trevor Zegras. The Flyers let him be himself. It's paying off — just in time for the playoffs. “It looks like he’s got his swagger back," said his former coach, Dallas Eakins. "And it’s important for him to play with swagger.” www.inquirer.com/flyers/trevo...

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about. Gift link:

April 15, 1972: Billy Joel plays a concert at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia which is broadcast by the local radio station WMMR. The station puts his performance of "Captain Jack" in rotation. This leads to a contract with Columbia Records, which leads to the album, Piano Man, in 1973.

Drop your crime fighting Catholics

Having lost in Iran, the Trump admin is picking a fight they think they can win: arguing with The Pope about Catholicism.

TIMELINE CLEANSE

If you don’t know about this, you need to read up. It’s the single bloodiest massacre in the history of Reconstruction, and it was perpetrated to overthrow the results of an election. It was emblematic of the sabotage of Reconstruction. And SCOTUS nullified the prosecution of those responsible.

That's right, it's a Philly, sports, PhillySports, dog app. (Follow Niall, such an inspiration)

Wisconsin men’s hockey continues the WCHA Revenge Tour against Denver in a few hours, this time it’s for a national title. The last time a men’s and women’s teams from the same school won a title in the same year was 20 years ago when…the Wisconsin Badgers did it. It’s a great day for hockey!

Well, this cleaning isn't going to do itself (this is a Phillies post)
