Whenever I walk to the Aldi on Washington Ave, I go an extra block out of my way to see the Keith Haring mural. Never fails to amaze me and make me smile.

Im a longtime lover of cover songs and have a WIP (although fairly small) playlist of some of my favorites. The Big Boys were a punk/hardcore band with a love of funk, and their cover of Hollywood Swinging is full of love and respect while also being uniquely them. m.youtube.com/watch?v=EKQj...

we’re basically sending $900 for every single man woman and child in argentina when their gdp per capita is a third of ours lol

OH NO INKY WHAT IS YOU DOINGGGG

Yeah, things aren’t going so well here in PA either. Sure, rural areas don’t care about fucking over transit, but how are they letting this happen to schools? It’s not just inner-city schools that are hurting.

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements that's the cause of most of the mental health issues

The best part is going to be when they integrate sports betting into the sexts “Your throbbing manmountain makes me SOOOOOO wet, but you know what would make me even wetter? If you put a three team parlay on DraftKings using promo-code ‘SUCKER.’ Oh yeah, baby, let me suck you dry.”

Oof. I dug D'Angelo. Fuck cancer youtu.be/-7hbqxnhzU8?...

I wrote a human skeleton quiz -- filled with terrible puns -- for your Spooky Season enjoyment. 🧪🏺💀

My favorite punk/hardcore band, the band who saved my life. My first “real” punk show was seeing them at CBGB in February 1989. My last time seeing them was December 2023 in Philly.

I wore the “vintage” Flyers hat that I got from Forbidden Closet, and watched the game, and they won. Maybe that means something.

Tonight I have learned the nickname of a Flyers player, who has scored two goals tonight.

I remember someone once scolding me that advocating for cats to be indoor-only is “classist” because not everyone can afford toys to keep them entertained inside. I was like madam their favorite things are sticks, crinkly paper, and cardboard boxes. Literal garbage.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, it needs to go further than this. We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

From preseason number 2 to firing the head coach midway through the season! Amazing!

I'm reminded of those comments about how manosphere shit is basically just men subjecting themselves to the same body image problems that women have dealt with for generations and getting one-shotted by it

Zoom in on any of the hands and you’ll see that it absolutely *is* AI. Why are you doing this shit when there are so many legit photos and videos of ICE terrorizing communities?

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

I think they intentionally pronounce it “awn-tee-fah” to make it sound like it’s “foreign/exotic” because if they pronounced it with the “anti” more low info people might figure out what it actually means.

Dawn of the Dead and Halloween both came out in 1978. Arguably 2 of the top 10 horror movies of all time, and indisputably 2 of the most influential. The first big slasher movie and the first big zombie movie, setting the script for decades to come.

I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker But I am losing faith, rapidly. Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

Sure M Night Shyamalan has made much more successful movies financially but Pittsburgh wins the battle of the filmmakers with George Romero by a mile.

Couldn’t find the Romero Dawn of the Dead on streaming, fortunately I own the fancy DVD extended release. Not only a fantastic zombie movie and critique of capitalism, but also the mall outside Pittsburgh where it was filmed is going to close down soon.

Seeing the OU half of the Cotton Bowl mostly empty before the end of the game is always such a lovely sight. Give em hell, give em hell!

Abbott Elementary at a Phillies game! I’m excited but also too soon 😭😭😭

(forgetting the word for antibiotics) do i need cancel culture

The Texas offensive line is pure garbage, it’s honestly surprising every time they have a positive offensive play at this point.

It’s 3:20 pm in Philadelphia and OU still sucks! 🤘🤘 Hook ‘em!

Did a little record browsing at New World Syndicate before my haircut, ended up getting a super clean copy of Devo “Freedom of Choice” for $20, an import 7” of T-Rex “Telegram Sam” for $5, and a Sylvester 7” single for $2 (I like some disco and I don’t care who knows).

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Brian Beutler: "...my sense is that what costs people like us sleep at night isn’t that we aren’t doing enough. It’s that we’ve lost confidence in the people who are in positions to do more" Spot on

Listening to the Studio One Rockers compilation from Soul Jazz and this track made my stop what I was doing and listen. The bassline bubbles and grooves with just a little bit of menace, the beat is tinny with some pops of tom, then the horn riff bursts in to seal the deal. youtu.be/lnVgM0J0p0Y

Utility workers have been jackhammering in the street in front of my house since 10:30 and while I’m sure it’s an urgent situation it’s also Friday night after a long shitty week and I’m desperately needing to sleep

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage? 🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

Watching the Phillies and interacting with the Phillies fans on here (and sometimes in person with Phillies fans from here) has been a highlight of a truly shitty year.

Like I could feel understandably upset but deal with it if it was just a hit. But not that, just the dumbest way to end the season.

What an awful way to end an amazing game!

Hero time dipshits.

The Dodgers’ organist played the riff for “Jesus Christ Superstar” with Jesus Luzardo on the mound, who promptly strikes out Ohtani looking. Sleeper agent?

Phillies need 6 here.

I am really glad that I’ve mostly stopped biting my fingernails because if I still was I wouldn’t have any left after this game

Topper rolled the dice, let’s see if it pays off like it did yesterday.

If they lose, we are never going to shut up about this pitch. It was absolutely perfect

Duran might be rattled…

Gotta be honest I’m not sure about Duran coming in for possibly 2-2/3 innings, but I know we don’t really have a lot of high-leverage guys.

“Just hit the paint” = 6 inches inside the foul line…

That was a check swing and so was the one that was called a strike against Marsh.
