Almost every bus stop in Center City, and probably all of Philly, still looks like this 3 days after the snowstorm:

I think the First Amendment scares them more

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

"Slavery was real"

Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington.

Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Very true, along with Short Memory and a ton of others. #MidnightOil #RobHirst

Shocked that "People Watching" by Sam Fender was only at #41, and that "Magnetic" by Tunde was way down at #72.
(Not that anyone asked, but those would've been my Top Two of 2025)

So, Bari Weiss decided to shelve a planned "60 Minutes" story titled "Inside CECOT," but the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway. Blame Canada, or thank Canada. Here's what seems to have happened... www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/m...

"The American President" is the most underrated #RobReiner movie. #RIP

@wxpnfm.bsky.social 1. Great job with the #xpncountdown!
2. Wasn't Lana Del Rey's cover of "Doin Time" also a cover of Gershwin's "Summertime"? That would make Summertime tied with Satisfaction for the 4th most covered song.

Still shocked that "Llorando" (Crying) didn't make #xpncountdown, esp given that Rebekah del Rio died so recently...

Hi. What about:
There's No Way Out of Here- Gilmour

Please... Let Me Get What I Want - Dream Academy

Llorando - del Rio
?

Thanks Kallao! I enjoyed your (borderline snarky) remarks while hosting, especially when related to various cabals

To paraphrase Meat Loaf, 4 out of 5 ain't bad. #xpncountdown

2 - much less filler than on 1, which I eventually bought (but never liked nearly as much). And "14 Years" is so underrated

I wish it had been immediately followed by "Llorando" #xpncountdown

Happy about Trapped, my #3 but 97 seems about right objectively #xpncountdown

Because most people didn't realize Elvis' version also was a cover. Same problem with Marvin Gaye's "Grapevine" and many others. #xpncountdown

P.S.: I disagree that FYC's version is horrible, though I didn't vote for it either

I can't believe this beat out "Black Betty" by like 700 places #xpncountdown

Now checking off my ## 2, 4, 8 & 9
"Locks" for Top 100: #3, 5, 10
Not feeling so great about my #1, 6, 7.

Now that we're into the Top 120, beginning to wonder if 3 of my picks won't actually make the #xpncountdown:
-Llorando
-Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
-There's No Way Out of Here
Maybe an over/under of 2?

This Joan Osborne version was one of my Elevens - glad it made the Top 200 #xpncountdown

Definitely one of those two (see my pinned post)

And "Jack-Ass" probably is my favorite Beck song

Trapped?

Yep. In terms of covers by the Killers, swap its spot on #xpncountdown with their "Shadowplay"
