Oh that would be fun!

I'm gonna need that Gritty to come standard with the set.

UPDATE: I'm gonna need everyone to vote for this on LEGO's Ideas page. We hold these truths to be self-evident. Please and thank you.

I'm going to need LEGO to come out with an Independence Hall set for the nation's 250th next year.

Minifigure that out asap, LEGO masters. Thank you.

It took me a minute to get it (and at first I was like wow this got real personal real quick) but shout out to Go Hamm, a Philly merch company that showcases women's sports, for their brilliant and very Philly sign off.

Thank you. And thanks for getting a screen grab where I don't look like a doofus. Go Birds.

Ugh! That's heartbreaking.

A Delancey Street townhouse filled with 100,000 books is a bibliophile’s dream — and an epic estate sale The amazing athenaeum of a modern-day Renaissance man who lived in Rittenhouse Square will be part of an upcoming estate sale from Sales by Helen.

Want to know more about this house, collection and its former owner - and how you can get inside here too soon?

Find out in my column today:

Upper floors (there were four above ground). This house had a dang elevator, but alas, it did not work.

First floor. Those are schematics of lutes on the wall

The basement, which also had an itty bitty wine cellar

I bookwormed my way into the most incredible place last week. It was bibliophile’s fever dream, the fanciest Philly house I’ve ever seen, and the former home of a modern-day Renaissance man.

I’m going to lure you in with photos then hit you with a link to my column. Hold on to your butts. 🧵

Thank you!

Thank you! I'm not a native (though I've been here 18 years) so maybe the accent hasn't infiltrated my entire vocab yet. 😂

How ‘Task’ creator Brad Ingelsby became the bard of Delco The "Mare of Easttown" creator and Berwyn native lives less than a mile away from his childhood home. “There is value in shooting something where it’s set," he said.

Yes, it is unclear. From my colleague Rosa Cartagena:

"Fans of Mare might have expected to hear Ruffalo’s version of the Delco accent, but it didn’t fit Ingelsby’s vision of the character (and Uncle Ed doesn’t speak like that, either)."

I watched a documentary I'm in with my husband last night and he was most proud when I said "movement" with a thick Delco accent.

Also shout out to the woman who watched it, tracked me down & DMed me on Insta: "I noticed you have Amazing hair. That's all lol. Just thought you should know!" 😂

😂 DUDE!

This is definitely gonna give your tush a push.

Only the most deadicated punsters will survive.

Aw! Thanks so much. Now I'm following you too!

U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle calls John Fetterman ‘Trump’s favorite Democrat’ for breaking with party on shutdown vote “There is no question that the fight to save our healthcare is right here ...
