I understand. I'm so outside it that I didn't even know that there was anything that had happened. I'm sorry that I brought it up, but I'm glad I know now so I can look it up.

I’m not positive but pretty certain 90% of Bluesky users live within 30 miles of Philadelphia. This feels demographically correct.

Helps bail out Trump from his own idiotic decisions, while reducing gov revenue and will earn no credit from voters in the process. Brilliant.

I don't know what to make of the claim that "vice officers often work undercover and so wear masks when harassing a popular lesbian bar". That doesn't seem like a sufficient explanation to me.

Get the schedule beforehand and plan pretty carefully what you want to do. Great con moments can happen spontaneously, but you can get a lot out of planning in advance.

Have you heard Laura Jane Grace and Catbite's live set covering Op Ivy? It's pretty amazing.

Checking out Upchuck tomorrow at work.

Hey, any of the Philly folks on here going to the Irreversible Entanglements show on the 27th at Solar Myth?

Philadelphia Orchestra has the opportunity to do the FUNNIEST thing.

I went to the doctor and he didn't do anything but bite my neck and suck out my blood. Don't ever go see Dr. Acula.

Also, It's a Wonderful Life having the same rating as Paul Blart Mall Cop is a spicy meatball.

I really enjoy Home Alone and Home Alone 3 being on here, but 2 is curiously absent.

Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke, Jean Luc Ponty - Renaissance
Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke, Jean Luc Ponty - Renaissance YouTube video by Piotr Gold

Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke, & Jean Luc Ponty did a fantastic album called the Rite Of Strings. They toured and did the album live in concert first.
This is one of the songs, called Renaissance.

Those sure sound like live drums and the whole thing isn't buffed to a high shine. I stopped following early in his solo career, but this might be a winner.

I'm sad that I already quit Magic when they started putting other properties in it; I would quit again over this if I could.

Richard Wagner, Tim from Rancid is pretty damn scuzzy and I can't quit Prince or Miles Davis, even though they treated the women in their lives horribly.

Wait, AI doesn't know what a butthole looks like? Seems like a big oversight

Why is their logo a picture of a butthole?

Hilariously, a full-priced pair of Florsheims is like a hundred bucks and they're often on sale. Not the kind of gift a billionaire boss buys someone he likes.

Not for nothing, but Florsheim are a middle-of-the-road to low end shoe brand that used to be really great (in like the 70s and 80s).

When your billionaire boss buys you Florsheims, he's not expressing that high an opinion of you.

Shit, let him cook: maybe he's found someone who's willing/able to subsidize housing for every non-wealthy person so that it can all be below market rate. Maybe.

09.03.2026 20:35 👍 8 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

The money for public housing and the money for market-rate housing comes from different sources. They don’t need to be in opposition. You can and should build both.

I hope he calls him "Stinger". Sounds like a dude who just belonged in a band with Les Claypool and Trey Anastacio.

Apparently, they still make them under the name Skip Ball.

I hope you eventually get one.

@listenbrainz.org for the week. My love for A Wilhelm Scream continues, along with a healthy rekindling of my stoner metal love (the latest High on Fire goes HARD). Other recs, as always, appreciated.

It is a systemic issue, but a lot of folks that are hurting because of the gas prices took an implicit bargain: you can have a big, new house in the sunbelt and live an air conditioned, cheap existence out of community with others. You just gotta accept that you just keep burning dino juice forever

Seems like if you're about to attempt to run 26 miles, it's reasonable to expect you to start by walking to the starting line.

That's a good lesson. JPJ also may be the MVP of REM's Automatic for the People, too.
