Also a victim of the no photos in DMs! Can you do this image of the Phils that we photoshopped our dog into because we briefly lost our minds during the postseason?

Mookie Betts and Muggsy Bogues are each other’s Adele Dazeem.

Every time I see Mookie Betts’ name, my brain tries to read it as Muggsy Bogues and then I get a little disappointed when the Dodger walking up to the plate is not the retired point guard and the shortest player in NBA history.

There are Junji Itos everywhere for those with eyes to see

Sometimes when people criticize Philly sports fans as mentally ill, I find myself explaining Kierkegaard’s Knight of Faith, who is exiled from the realm of human discourse by the inexpressibility of his mission but is great because of what he suffers in the trial. I do this because I am mentally ill

Wow I can’t believe the Eagles just solved Zeno’s Paradox

Oh but unfortunately I can believe the platform that allowed 1.8 million people to watch me make a stupid joke about Timothee Chalamet can be used as an instrument of political theatre

Still can’t believe the platform that allowed 1.8 million people to watch me make a stupid joke about Timothee Chalamet can just be gone like that

Still searching for the purpose of a Bluesky account tbh, especially with the impending TikTok ban. Which little pocket of my interests and identity ends up on this platform and why has it mostly been sports coverage?

AJ Brown: [reading House of Leaves on the sideline, his eyes turn jet black, the sky fills with ravens]

Tom Brady: wow

Gawrsh! They dont love you like I love you

Starting 2025 with a sudden regression to my teenage kpop stan era is a truly concerning sign of the times

New #1 on the list of Things Someone Should Create Just for Me is a 2nd gen kpop themed TTRPG campaign called Dungeons and GDragons

Honestly I can hear it perfectly in my mind:

“And then—it was a high holer, Jerry!”

“A high holer!!”

Notes app screenshot. Title is good ideas. Body text: Taco-Yaki: corn/masa batter, chunks of pork (al pastor, adobada?) instead of octopus, onion and cilantro, salsa and creme Span Musubi: saffron rice, Spanish tortilla egg, jamón or guanciale instead of spam Seinfeld scene where Jerry and George are complaining about a glory hole where the hole was too high

Whatever was going on when I wrote this note

Some sad news: the last of the California Raisins has been eaten alive. As with previous band members, the Raisin was served ortolan style and he went down singing. I think it was the sunglasses one

I feel like there’s no excuse not to replace all the Christopher Columbus statues now that we’ve got an Italian figure who’s less culturally divisive and more historically impactful

I just tried this and actually, yeah

Have you seen the video of a guy setting up a giant maze to move his hamster from a traditional cage to an enclosure with dirt and plants and worms to dig up and eat? Highly recommend

She’s holding space for the lyrics

“There is literally no difference” is not at all what this post said, and is not something I have personally seen anyone say. You are willfully misreading people discussing what functionally “counts” as reading a book

Yeah cool that’s once again not what anyone is asserting

“Listening to the audiobook is functionally equivalent to reading that book” is not the same as “Listening to audio is the exact same thing as the specific act of reading.” The metaphysical discussion isn’t invalid or uninteresting, but it feels pretty silly to the folks who were just engineering

This slippery slope response seemed almost willingly obtuse to me at first tbh, but I don’t think you intended that and it’s actually clarifying for me why this argument is so ongoing! The “it’s not reading” side seems to be fighting against larger assertions than what’s actually being made?

Of course you wouldn’t be able to discuss some aspects of the written book experience just like your friend wouldn’t be able to discuss some aspects of the audiobook experience, but most of what gets practically captured in “So we both read this—what did you think of it?” is still there

But the movie adaptation is different in both form and content, whereas the audiobook is the exact same content, consumed differently. If you’re talking about plot or character development or even imagery and rhetorical impact, the audiobook listener can engage in basically the same way

I can’t believe it’s taken so long, but I appreciate that the Overton window is finally shifting from politely accepting “When they go low, we go high” to asking, “Hey but why are we letting them go low? Surely going that low is like, illegal?? Shouldn’t we just stop them from going low???”

A baker’s dozen should be 12 cookies for the price of 13 with a little note from the baker like “Thank you for the little treat! I know you’re going to love these ❤️”
