sixers win

Do Doomsday preppers get LASIK?

i loved the 2025 philadelphia phillies. no playoffs can make me hate them. defector.com/what-ill-rem...

Not like that

@epeemike81.bsky.social One of my most prized possessions from the 2008 Campaign/2008 World Series crossover moment. Plus Boston and Philly share a love of the Flyin' Hawaiian.

EAGLES BLOCK THE FIELD GOAL [AGAIN] TO WIN THE GAME JORDAN DAVIS! MERRILL REESE AND MIKE QUICK ON THE CALL! #FlyEaglesFly

The Phillies are playing fantastic baseball and I have never been more terrified about what they have planned for me.

Wait WHAT happened in the Phillies game????

Woke up thinking about Trea Turner's hamstring.

Husband book alert

Yessss. Three games in Boston.

Husband alert @dygottlieb.bsky.social

Thank you!

Additional fun fact that pairs well with today's @stabert.bsky.social episode on Charles Sumner: Edward Everett was the featured speaker at the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, speaking for over two hours before the president gave a much better remembered two minute speech.

there’s an election for Cat Mayor currently happening in Somerville, Mass. and every cat deserves to win

This week, talking about Martha's Vineyard and the time guest Shayla Martin saw Eric Holder eating an ice cream cone:

Jesus Luzardo from the wind-up --- Jesus Luzardo from the stretch

I'll never be happy again (baseball)

It seems the Phillies are never scoring a run ever again...

Amazing lol

I am vibrating with anxiety after that ninth inning. Yay we won?

lmao

Love this! I still need to listen to "Divine Intervention"

The Red Sox are successfully getting me to pay attention to them the old fashioned way: DRAMA. #rafaeldevers

the new pope went to Villanova which means he has definitely had someone look him in the eye and say “Go Birds” at least once in his life

My neighbor Jacinda Ardern, former PM of New Zealand, was kind enough to come on Explain Boston to Me to chat about her time in Cambridge. She'll be talking about her new memoir at The Chevalier in Medford on 6/1. (Grateful to @epeemike81.bsky.social for pointing out a title typo for the ages.)

Nothing better than talking transit. Thanks to Seth Kaplan from @transitmatters.bsky.social for enlightening me on Boston's challenges and strengths. bleav.com/shows/explai...

The American Revolution rides on Dunkin'

Slay, neighbor

I asked my brother what the craziest thing that ever happened to him was and he said "Mike Dukakis watched me drink a cold can of Beefaroni during a poli sci lecture at Northeastern" and that's pretty good

Can someone make me a GIF of Nick Sirianni from the Super Bowl mic’d up saying “that’s one!”Would be much appreciated. #gophils

As referenced on the pod this week!

I spoke about BORGs on a podcast I recorded today. This was something I didn't know existed a few days ago, and now I can't get away. "Resistance is futile," as they say.

With the current state of the world/my headspace, I fear my relationship with/reliance on the Philadelphia Phillies playing well has the potential to become incredibly toxic.

want to inform everyone outside of Philadelphia that this man not only dislikes the way tariffs are affecting his business, he also once fell asleep courtside at a Sixers playoff game.

I was at this game. Will never forget it.

RIP The Rat. Long live the “Rathskeller Suite” 😭😭😭 #bostonculture

Listening to today's ep. of Explain Boston to Me and the guest just told @stabert.bsky.social "People know the Pixies, but a lot of them don't know they're a Boston band." Ahem: they're an AMHERST band. 😂 (I kid... but had to get the UMass plug in) www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_tb...

50 hr season incoming

Apparently this is in North Dakota — but honestly feels like a normal Tuesday in Cambridge.

I need your help! I want to fill out my episode on Kowloon with your stories. What makes the Saugus restaurant so special? What is your favorite Kowloon memory? Your most beloved dish? Send a voice note (preferred) or a written ode to [email protected].

Ha! I was thrilled.

@briancgrubb.bsky.social never fails to bring a smile to my face in these dark times.

somewhere, harrison butker is crying about jalen hurts' all-women management team
