This is a monster track

A real Dad Rock dad dilemma in Philly tonight between Flaming Lips/Modest Mouse and Wilco, but I think I was in the right by picking the latter.

Philadelphia's Jan. 6!

Close it out Phils so my Tuesday night tickets will sell

Rich Ruth delivers a little Planet Caravan. Fantastic.

Pennsylvania’s unregulated weed stores are booming — but tests show products are rife with toxic and illicit chemicals Almost every sample The Inquirer had tested was over the legal potency or contained mold or pesticides.

Too old for skinny jeans?

Not young at all. I'm '77, but I identify more strongly with that Xennial microgeneration ('77-'85) than the broader Gen X label

For the record, this Xennial never strayed from skinny jeans

Let’s worry about keeping the buses and trains running, ok, Josh?

My favorite was Robert’s Person—just one dude sitting by himself with the banner.

Glad you’re safe! Next time in Philly for sure

Huge bummer, was looking forward to tonight!

Learned about “Power Point parties” from a Zoomer and a young Millennial at the office today. Whatever happened to a bag of weed and a case of beer and just yammering about what’s in your mind? [old man yells at cloud]

Pa. needs to stop subsidizing horse racing and put that money toward transit | Opinion Every year, casino slot machine revenue is diverted into a Race Horse Development Fund, subsidizing an expensive hobby for wealthy horse owners and breeders. It should be used to fund transit instead.

I sold the hat for $20 and the trading card for $100, and I probably could have gotten double if the joint on the way in hadn’t sapped my negotiating powers

Raise your hand if, in the event the Philadelphia Phillies held a “One Piece” hat giveaway, you would have any idea what they were talking about.

Update: the monk did not raw dog the flight

If anyone’s prepared to raw dog a 5+ hour flight, it’s the Tibetan monk seated next to us.

Sheed can primary Fetterman

Phillies is back

Led Zep

Someone around the corner from me in W. Mt. Airy has a car (Pa. plates) with a George Santos sticker on it. We've been speculating about what the deal is. My conjecture: lost a bet.

And I thought this Fox broadcast of the Phillies couldn’t get any worse

Good night for doomscrolling, with a side of Phillies

As good as this one? www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XXL...

Put John Morrison on the radio for multiple hours every weekday afternoon, @wxpnfm.bsky.social

With 110 correct! I don’t miss it up there

Marshall has been in this business for 9 decades, he’s dealt with worse (still sucks big time)
