I am impressed with your playing!

A kitten on a beach lounger during the Puppy Bowl XIX: Kitty Half Time Show. It's just staring. It does not care

Kendrick this and Kendrick that. Every year at halftime at the Puppy Bowl a bunch of kittens refuse to perform. They just hide or rest. In defiance of the puptriarchy. Our bravest performers and biggest haters.

"I hope they all lose."

I think it's a bad idea too.
But to play devil's advocate, if he plays great the first two weeks of spring and maybe even shows he can do a little first base, maybe the market opens? Or maybe a team has an injury. I can't blame Phillies for trying to save $5M

I wish there were a parallel universe where we could see the results of all the Bohm haters watching Suarez strike out 200 times, endlessly leave men on base and attempt to play third base in Philly in 2026. We have the receipts.

10 Movies to Stream for Black History Month

Not only is it Black History Month. It’s also its 100th anniversary!!

To commemorate its centennial, I wrote a list of 10 Black films, one from each of the last 10 decades, to stream.

ICE buys $87M warehouse in Berks County Deed records show the Trump administration purchased a 520,000-square-foot warehouse in Hamburg, PA, for $87.4 million on Feb. 2.

The Upper Bern Township warehouse, which was purchased with $87.4 million of U.S. taxpayer dollars, is about 4 miles from where Roadside America (the huge toy train layout) once existed. The ICE facility could house up to 1,500 beds, per Spotlight PA reporting. www.spotlightpa.org/berks/2026/0...

I have a new chapter in the 2026 edition of Policing Black Lives on how police reform has expanded police power to surveil, monitor and criminalize Black communities for 70+ years now. Did you know in Canada community policing (first in parkdale, in Toronto ) has been a “reform” since the 1960s?

Every other advertisement on my feeds is Gervais lecturing me about caged bears on another continent.

They gamble -- they always have -- that the lower-income folks most affected simply won't have the resources or fortitude to pull off a behemoth civil suit.

South African photographer Wim van den Heever is this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year, an annual contest run by the Natural History Museum in London. Van den Heever's photo beat out over 60,000 photos submitted from 113 countries. His photograph shows the elusive and endangered brown hyena prowling through an abandoned diamond mining ghost town in Kolmanskoppe, Namibia. WIM VAN DEN HEEVER, WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Winner of last year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year is a gothic masterpiece.

This is the establishing shot of every 1970s horror movie.

Gaiman launching his redemption campaign; be warned.

A sentence I did not expect to encounter:

"In 1947 and 1948, Agee wrote an untitled screenplay for Charlie Chaplin, in which the Tramp survives a nuclear holocaust; posthumously titled The Tramp's New World, the text was published in 2005."

Neither do most MLB front offices, it seems.
But don't tell that to the Bohm haters who are furious with Dombrowski right now.

Meanwhile Trump has moved on to a federal takeover of US elections. The head spins.

Yeah, I should have picked a better example but that one popped into my head for some reason

Which is just weird. Like an "Andre Dawson in 1987" approach to analytics.

It's bonkers how many usually rational online Phillies fans are losing their minds over the Eugenio Suarez news.

It's depressing how many people looked at him and thought "49 home run cleanup hitter who will finally give Harper some protection"

this is who runs this account

In case you ever needed proof that the mainstream media is a complicit arm of propaganda for a fascist regime and deserves no credibility or respect.

Not framing a reported $75m movie making $7m as a flop, but as a triumph and a record breaker. In a headline-over-article world, this matters.

Tonight on TCM #TCM
COOLEY HIGH (1975)
and
GREASED LIGHTNING (1977)
Two films by the great, underrated director Michael Schultz. Well worth watching! 🎥

I missed that too, each time. I dare say it's almost too subtle.

"You don't forget the best."

We've lost an icon and a legend. Thank you for giving us Cookie Fleck and so much more. Rest in peace.💙

Way, way back in the day The Love Boat (believe it or not) and St. Elsewhere were among the first series to handle such storylines, and have them as stories, not punchlines. I think there was a third show of that era late 1970s/early 1980s that did also, but it's not coming to me right now.

Kiki's Delivery Service
Carnival of Souls
Blood Simple

Honorable mention: Deathtrap (if you've never seen, it watch it blind. Don't read anything)

This remains one of my favorite One Battle After Another easter eggs that *probably* is just a coincidence, but sure as hell fits.

Trump, today: "highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrections"

OBAA: “To find dangerous lunatics, haters and punk trash and stop them. No more lunatics.”

I cannot believe how far she's fallen. Not built for this moment.
