As someone who ran to the dance floor whenever "Planet Rock" came on, I want to be respectful. But as someone who would cheerfully kneecap anyone who sexually abuses kids, I don't know if I can. So, I'll say, Rest In Something... ew.com/afrika-bamba...

So, if I understand this right, you’re threatening to let people die unless Zambia lets you strip them of its resources. I would call you scumbags, but that would be insulting to scumbags… www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Describe the #ErikaKirk/#BariWeiss interview using a movie title…

I wish I could say I was surprised. But nothing Donald Trump has done has surprised me since 2016… www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

If you invade my home and take my Momma out in handcuffs, I don't care if you starve. I ain't feeding you and my neighbors ain't either... www.thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-m...

Somewhere, Edward R. Murrow is taking a bottle of bourbon to the head while mainlining heroin... deadline.com/2025/10/cbs-...

I really like reading foreign newspapers because their coverage of America isn’t hampered by market forces, advertisers, and a president who thinks the First Amendment was printed on a roll of toilet paper. So imagine if they weren’t there… www.spj.org/spj-opposes-...

When I turned 30, I decided I'd stop being angry when people I found disappointing did things I found disappointing. Because I cover politics, this attitude has been helpful. Here's an example... www.phillymag.com/news/2025/09...

This is your annual reminder that your company probably has a social media usage policy. Don’t let #CharlieKirk get you fired in this economy. He’s not worth it.

The Associated Press is reporting that Turning Point's Charlie Kirk has died after being shot in the neck in Orem, Utah. He was 31.

Rest In Peace, Florence Jean Castleberry... tvline.com/news/polly-h...

While I believe that this man is a total piece of shit, I hope he recovers from his injuries. That said, does this mean the National Guard will be deployed to Orem, Utah now? Asking for a friend... people.com/charlie-kirk...

So, I guess the only way you can use race as a criterion is when you’re snatching people off the street and deporting them to places they’re not even from, huh? #ThisIsAmerica www.bbc.com/news/article...

History is history. If it shocks your conscience, it probably should. America built an entire economy on the backs of a workforce that it could control by force through beatings, sexual assault, the selling of its relatives, and the threat of death. Truth hurts.

The fact that the #TrumpAdministration wants to take on the #AvengingTheAncestorsCoalition tells you just how badly they want this #Epstein stuff to go away. www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

This makes sense. Leaving dead bodies lying around decomposing is a bad idea and turns the situation into a sketch from “Monty Python and The Holy Grail”. But you know what also makes sense? Giving the folks who pick up the bodies a contract with a living wage. Just saying… 6abc.com/post/retriev...

Well, this is gonna be interesting... www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia...

Somewhere in Heaven, the late President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn are sitting on the front porch of their home, drinking sweet tea, and laughing their asses off at the level of arrogance… www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Shit. Rest In Peace… www.cnn.com/2025/06/09/e...

@apnews.com is reporting that @dalarrykrasner.bsky.social has won a third term as Philadelphia’s District Attorney.

All I want to know is, did anyone have marshmallows on hand? Would have been a great time to make some s'mores... abcnews.go.com/US/nottoway-...

You can. You really can...

Public comment here at #PhiladelphiaCityCouncil is being particularly public comment-y today, meaning that it's a combination of truly poignant and absolutely batshit nuts...

Before he was let go by @975thefanatic.bsky.social, Tyrone Johnson had the distinction of being the only Black sports talk radio host in Philly that hadn't taken a snap for the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social. @ojphilly.bsky.social wonders why that's the case... www.phillytrib.com/sports/spive...

The National Football League is made up of messy people. You know that Philly is gonna show its entire ass, right?

Are folks sure that this dude has isn’t still doing heroin?

My only hope here is that your karmic retribution involves scorpions and that the Ancestors beat the shit out of you so badly that your skin returns to it’s natural color and your toupee falls off at long last. www.blackenterprise.com/trump-starts...

Yet another example of how the 2000 Census, and its prediction that America would be a country where the majority of people spoke Spanish by 2048, broke people’s brains… www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

I try not to swear on social media. But I'm so tired of this foul motherfucker besmirching the legacies of his father, and his uncles with his bullshit I can't see straight. This is yet another one of his dumb assed ideas that's going to lead to people dying. Sorry if I offended anyone..

The state of Delaware doesn't tax anything...except weed... spotlightdelaware.org/2025/04/22/n...
