well at least this was dragged out for as long as possible to make everything worse for everyone.

We'll always have this @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social blog. And the home runs. defector.com/is-the-phill...

i will miss my slutty king

The Phillies are releasing Nick Castellanos.

Jason Myers hoisting the MVP and running this iconic quote back but with the exact opposite tone.

I have always found this construction incredibly corny but yes, we, as a human race, ”do not deserve” Benito. tasteless piggies hurtling toward a world of pure slop, how is the ~biggest pop star alive still a talented, idiosyncratic, humane, stylish person

get rid of your fucking ring doorbell grow up!!!!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

i will die for benito

DID YOU KNOW: Last year, one team also entered halftime at the Super Bowl with zero points. (The other team was the Philadelphia Eagles.)

at least the onion dip i made is good

Every time they do that cruddy de-aging, it reminds me of this

at the end of the six months, only one of you will have written a book

Many readers have asked how they can help support Dan McQuade’s surviving wife and son after his death last week. Here’s a place for they can do so, as can you. everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

The Post killing its Books section (one of the best around) is so fucking bleak

Pivoting my national newspaper to fash opinion sludge and some AI-related handwaving, on account of economic headwinds and also because neither I nor anyone in my cohort of elites knows how to read.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

hating jeff bezos never goes out of style

many thanks to @brandyjensen.bsky.social and @defector.com for letting write about two passions: my love of 'The Traitors' and my hatred of Michael Rapaport

I AGREE defector.com/i-thoroughly...

for those of you who dm'd me for ways to help dan's family everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

It's been really lovely reading all the tributes to Dan. Many people have asked if they can contribute to support his wife and son. You can do so here: everloved.com/life-of/dan-...

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

RIP to Dan. His "A decade of Philly sports fans on the TV news" video from the other site is pure gold.

if you are unfamiliar with my personal most referenced dan mcquade piece i talk about it basically any time rocky is mentioned www.phillymag.com/news/2013/09...

case to be made that no one has done more philly twitter propaganda on a national level than dan mcquade

buying bootleg merch has the dual purpose of honoring dan and protesting Fanatics™

It's nice, in between how unfair this feels, to see everyone remember their favorite Dan bits and blogs. He was really one of one. It might be a chalk take, but here’s mine: defector.com/the-trump-pr...

king of the bloggers. king of philadelphia

Rest in peace to one of the great bloggers and the de facto mayor of Philadelphia. It was my honor and pleasure to work with him. defector.com/dan-mcquade-...

this sucks shit. i miss dan so much already

buongiorno!!

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Remember, if the Patriots lose, it's because they finally faced a real team, and if the Patriots win, it's because they haven't faced a real team yet.

time to do the next most American thing after protesting our damn government for it's slippery slide into violent fascism: yell at the football on my TV
