All right it took like four hours but I did finally see my first Tune Squad jersey so I suppose all is not completely lost

Can't believe I lived long enough to see throwback NBA jerseys no longer really be a thing at Coachella

I purposefully didn't tweet about this Sixers comeback so as not to jinx it but I guess I thought about tweeting about it too loudly

All this talk of Josh Hart hitting big threes reminds me there are indeed positives to the Sixers' predetermined postseason obsolescence

Well Maxey found his shot at least. In a theoretical world where basketball still matters I guess that'd be a good thing.

The Sixers are not exactly making it hard for the Rockets at the moment.

yeah but ESPECIALLY the Heat (and also all those other teams)

Amazing what doofuses the Heat turn into when they have to play a team that isn't the Sixers

Greatest Pop Stars of March 2026! -Harry Styles, passing himself in orbit -RAYE: Queen of the No. 11 hit -Kacey Musgraves making her ACMs debut (???) -What the hell was that "Elizabeth Taylor" video megaphone.link/PMC8704158637

Well at least appendicitis is the first one of Joel's myriad maladies that I have first-hand experience enough with to not need some obscure Twitter doctor's help with understanding. (And let me tell you, I was out for the summer.)

Also weighing the eligibility of 'The Lion and the Cobra'... but not sure it would be, like, SHOCKING if an all-time list went with that as the Sinéad rep over 'I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got'

Got very excited about this when I thought it was Blue Öyster Cult. Board of Canada pretty cool too I guess

feels like a hating basketball kind of night

Well. Feels like the Sixers better do whatever they can to win this one since I'm not sure we're seeing Embiid again after it this regular season.

Is 'Justified' an Album Before The Album? Feel like it might be.

Also talked 2006 Justin Timberlake last week with the peerless Katie Atkinson! -The three shit-talking saviors of 2006 pop -One of the worst music videos of all time (?) -'Alpha Dog': Yes -"Candle Guy": No megaphone.link/PMC5076285173

Appreciate @alinaisyou.bsky.social's summarizing of the Sabrina Carpenter music video experience as "Do Crimes, Kill Men"

have never been more wrong about a TV show than I was about 'DTF St. Louis' (complimentary)

DeMar DeRozan getting to 30k career points is the only non-Sixers basketball thing I care about

I can't see this RAYE album cover without assuming it to be about her desperation to be Safe and Secure With New York Life

Ranger Suarez fielding ground balls nonchalantly is back 😂 He stares at the ball and gets the out after snagging this 100.9-MPH comebacker from Nick Castellanos!

In 1961, I saw a raw-but-talented group of four sharp-looking young men play to 25 people at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, England. 22 years later, they would become famous as The Smiths.

Nothing makes you realize what a magical stuff cheese is until you have reason to try the ersatz versions of everything. There's fake meat that's pretty close, there's gluten-free bread where if you didn't know you wouldn't know. The best fake cheese is still a karaoke version of a karaoke version.

Today's interiew on stage with Thelma Houston was exceptional! People loed hearing her inside stories. Next, on May 2 at Vitello's in Studio City CA, Freda Payne & Scherrie Payne. www.eventbrite.com/e/fred-talks...

Three defensive rebounds total in that quarter for the Sixers. Feels like a problem!

It's wild how rock became about as big on streaming and the charts as rap and country again but because it didn't happen on the back of some recognizable wave of hyped new bands no one seems to know or care

We did it y'all

No not the best win of the season. But could've been the worst loss. So.

VJ is just happier on the rim. Would stay up there all day if refs would let him.

Seeing Embiid run the floor this hard, rebound, and buy into all the little things to try to get the Sixers this win with his shot off is more important than any 30-ball he has dropped this year. Everything else happening on defense has coalesced around his efforts

Joel appears to have gotten the water out at halftime

Just a staggeringly bad offensive half for the Sixers. Joel looks like he's got water stuck in both his ears. But hey at least the third quarter is coming up.

Sixers need to stop napping immediately before the game starts. And at quarter breaks. And at timeouts. And off makes. And in the middle of possessions.

i'm trying to stay out of pile-ons and don't really agree with the premise, but i'm happy to weigh in and admit "anti-bedtime leftists" is objectively a great own

As someone who thinks jokes about a baseball score looking more like a football score are the absolute pinnacle of sports humor, I am going to be *living* throughout this Nola vs Lorenzen matchup

Pretty sure if the Celtics lose tonight the Pistons will clinch top seed in the East, and thus have nothing to play for against the Sixers tomorrow night. (Unfortunately they're playing the Bucks, so maybe not too likely.)

We just had our 2006 Week on Billboard! My co-worker Eric came on Greatest Pop Stars to talk about this not being an especially great pop star year — and whether people are still checking for Gnarls Barkley, "Irreplaceable" or any number of White Guys With Pianos megaphone.link/PMC3059203395

Fantastic read.

bet you anything Miss Murder's response to AFI was a saucy "I don't know, *CAN* you?"

Sixers-Heat gonna give me the bends

Awwww baby's first foul grift, so proud of VJ

Well I guess I appreciate Taijuan Walker saving me the trouble of having to decide how much to prioritize flipping over to the Phils during Sixers-Heat

Fun is the one thing that money can't buy open.substack.com/pub/rightsto...

Gotta give Raye credit for being perhaps the only one of her current U.K. mega-singer class to understand that no matter what else she has going on musically, it's her responsibility to occasionally just fucking let it rip over a house beat www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOs_...

Spent three and a half episodes having no idea if I liked this show or not but I think this officially pushed me over (also "B out the B")

feels like it might've been the best win of the year

Spending a Friday night rooting for the Celtics and Cavs. Playoff races are some fucked-up shit.
