I don’t understand why more lawyers don’t do this One Simple Trick™️. Just go up to the prosecutor and say, “So, what’s the price for you to make all this go away?”

We never needed to dial the area code to make a local phone call. Loosely related: My grandfather was rabidly anti-zip code and never used those either and his mail still got where it needed to every time.

Watch this video. We are the city of Brotherly Love but she’s making it clear: ICE is not family.

I do not know this term. With great trepidation, I asked Alexa. Her reply? “I’d prefer not to answer that.” Ok, then. I’m good with this hole in my knowledge.

The administration pathologically obsessed with “securing the border” couldn’t even find it?

I hate to do this, but if I had to see it, yada yada. The White House website has been updated with WH “Major Events Timeline. I don’t understand how any foreign nation takes us seriously at this point. https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/the-white-house/

New chant for ICE protests just dropped. Actually, I wonder if we could get the clip of Trump saying it & put it on repeat at max volume…

God forbid you do something wild and crazy like banning the specific accounts w/hate speech. Nah, let’s just delete an entire language. What a joke.

While I believe this is the most likely scenario, I also believe Trump will have a meltdown about people even *thinking* he did it.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

Very on brand. DARVO - the International Diplomacy Edition https://bsky.app/profile/bloomberg.com/post/3m3kgqhguyh2i

Not surprised. Not even a little. Not that they attacked a disabled fishing boat. Not that they lied about it and blamed the victims. And especially not that they’re incapable of taking responsibility OR successfully covering it up. Pathetic.

Looks like Disney+ wants to really REALLY discourage people from cancelling their subscription in the future…

The perfect synthesis of today’s timeline.

Now I hate to shock you all, but contrary to what the clown college drop outs currently pretending to be grown up, super-smart scientists are going to say, Tylenol does not cause autism. Hate to say it, but we’re gonna need to take any info coming out of CDC & FDA with a grain of salt for a bit.

Things you think go without saying: ✅ Schools getting kids actively involved in a project teaching about the history of slavery. ❌ Deliberately casting your Black middle school students as the slaves in your reenactment. https://share.inquirer.com/2RIDPd

Le sigh. I’m listening to an audiobook and the tough-as-nails veteran cop growled to the rookie who wants to go in without a warrant, “Maybe, but we’re the police. If we don’t obey the law, then who else will?” Who, indeed… (That the book is fiction goes without saying.)

Just went to cancel Disney+/Hulu/ESPN…and found out they come free with my internet plan. Looks like I’ll have to delete my account on each site. Annoying. #cancelDisney

Oh, please, please, please can someone create (or point me towards) a “Trump fail” gimmick account. I could read posts like this all day, lmao.

Omg I never even thought of this and now I have a new item on my bucket list.

THAT’S who will fix all the problems with copyright! Expecting the EO making IP illegal first thing in the morning.

Rep. Scott Perry's district

When the kindle algorithm hits *chef’s kiss* juuuussst right.

The MOVE bombing by Phila PD. (Also Challenger & 9/11 but everybody else picked them first.)

Never been so disappointed in any politician in my lifetime. It’d be easy to blame it on the stroke, but I just feel conned. https://share.inquirer.com/PeCcJA

Ruin a book’s title by replacing one word with butthole: Murder on the Butthole Express

Dammit. I know better than to check social media on a day SCOTUS rulings come out. *goes back into cave where I can pretend life is normal & things make sense*

I’m just so tired of finding out how many more truly horrible people there are in this country than I ever realized.

No spoilers, but that last episode of Doctor Who? Wowza. I have no idea how I feel about the last reveal, because WTAF? The ep itself was amazing all the way through; one of my new favorites. But maybe someone could explain what the denim blue pinstripe skirt/pant/suit thing was?

Reminds me of when I was a kid and the local police came to our school to provide the “safety service” of fingerprinting all the students “just in case they’re ever kidnapped.” And everybody actually believed them.

Just tried this new feature in iPadOS. It’s still pretty rough, imo, but has potential to be a game changer when it comes to accessibility.

We could have had substance instead of cronyism. https://afj.org/nominee/adeel-a-mangi/

Reposting this imported thread. This week marks 36 years since I made the biggest mistake of my life and I’m still grateful every day that I got the chance to fix it in time. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, help is available.

I’m looking for something to manage my home repair/reno plans like MS Project (which doesn’t appear to exist anymore?) Has anyone used Jira & would you recommend it for this type of thing? Can it handle things like ‘task C can’t start until task a & b are complete?

Just insane to think of this actually happening at Swathmore of all places. share.inquirer.com/RKyi1n (Gift link)

The top comment is a lawyer telling you not to assist the predators in their predation. Announcing this stuff is a gift to cops and prosecutors. If you have Anne Frank in a secret room, don’t put a sign on your lawn saying “We should conceal Jewish families in our homes.”

“A motorist allegedly involved in a roadway dispute in Delaware County Wednesday could not let it mellow and instead rear-ended the other driver — not with her car but with her bare buttocks — before dumping her frustrations onto the hood of the other vehicle.” https://share.inquirer.com/Apnbq0

🤦🏻‍♀️Only in Philly. “We got the venue for free because the mayor had just bombed the city,” says Geldof. This summer marks the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. (Gift link) share.inquirer.com/UuCsf7

I managed to sit through 10 whole minutes of the address to congress. Then he started talking and I had to bail. But, real talk, is there no one in MTG’s life who loves her enough to burn that idiotic hat?

Lmao. Got a message 20 mins ago from my oldest that he needs to uber home and will owe me ~$15. He just let me know he’s been picked up by a “swastikar” and would be home soon. Never heard the term before, but still managed to guess it right the first time.

We’re doing what now? wapo.st/416Gk38

Seeing some posts from people learning the only thing Philly sports fans handle worse than losing…is winning. The last time we were able to handle this kind of thing with any semblance of dignity was the 1980 World Series. Now, there’s nothing to do but wait for the alcohol to burn off.

As a life-long Philly-area resident, even though I don’t follow this sport, I’m still contractually obligated, so… Go birds.

Truth.

Oh ffs, someone warn ERs that a bunch of idiots are inbound. They’ll probably be blaming “the libs” for their pee turning blue.

The theme for the next four years is “We’re gonna do whatever the hell we want, whether it’s legal or even makes sense, then wait to see how loud the complaints are.” Which I guess makes sense from the twitter administration.
