folks, it’s friday

I don't think the first sentence is even true?

everyone keeps saying "this has to be AI" and man I WISH

well well well look who doesn't like ill rhyme-spitters

some of the worst sentences I’ve ever read in my life, from this morning’s Axios Philadelphia newsletter “A disciple of Dr. Dre, the 53-year-old tells Axios that despite his hiatus, he's still kickin' the high-minded, pop culture-infused bars he'd mollywop emcees with during his Philly come-up — and later, on The Lyricist Lounge, a New York incubator for the industry's illest rhyme-spitters, from Mos Def to Eminem.”

It should be illegal for Axios to write about rap

Correct! You have to go to Cherry Hill or KOP.

on Christmas!

we are so back

Movie theater at South Philly's Riverview Plaza to reopen in 2026 with a new IMAX screen Apple Cinemas plans to renovate the former Regal multiplex on Columbus Boulevard. It will have the only IMAX screen in the city.

can't stress enough how much this news is buoying my mental health

editing a city magazine is great because you can spend your morning reading this for work and then your afternoon editing a story about a guy jerking off in a convenience store parking lot. That’s journalism kids!

you better believe I've been workshopping these

Philly Today: Pleasuring Yourself at Wawa Is a Bad Idea But for one Delco resident, it turned out to be a worse idea than normal.

Incredible things are happening in Delco

Giordano's Owner Says Goodbye as Italian Market Icon Closes Owner Wally Giordano reflects on his years spent growing up (and growing old) working in the family business.

I know cities change and things die but when the guy who sells you your tomatoes closes his family's 105-year-old business you can't help but be a little sad.

A great obituary for an iconic stall

misspelling Israeli on the chyron pretty neatly sums up this whole debate!

I can’t even begin to explain how many different ways this guy is wrong but if you’re interested in learning more might I suggest the 2021 book “The Eagles of Heart Mountain” by Bradford Pearson.

Every professor and teacher should do this.

I've resigned myself to that as well. Good luck paying for your roads and schools without the Philly region, though!

I don't have any special insight into this, but if I was, say, one of the multiple billionaire stadium owners dependent on SEPTA and SEPTA was forced to shut down at 9 pm, stranding fans in deep South Philly, I would probably make a few calls to Harrisburg.

Philly Today: SEPTA Releases Its Service Cuts. It's Not Pretty. Drastic cuts and changes finally revealed.

This is such a crippling, self-inflicted wound for the whole state. We're going to be the laughing stock of the world if we can't get fans to and from the World Cup next year. Just mind-bogglingly dumb.

I might need that Sanchez jersey just so I can wear it and say "you know, this was Larry King's"
