Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Look, I don’t watch sports talk shows (or listen to sports radio) so I can avoid blowhards like Stephen A. Smith, and there is no fucking way I’m giving him any of my time or precious mental health scraps in an election.

He had a joke in his stump speeches about how, if he were to walk on water, the headlines the next day would read “Jesse Jackson Can’t Swim”
How many of the media outlets eulogizing Rev. Jesse Jackson today spent decades trying to undermine his work & turn him into a punchline?

The 1991 SNL episode hosted by Michael Jordan, with Public Enemy as the musical guest, was one of the best in the shows history and featured this classic moment where Rev. Dr. Jesse Jackson reads “Green Eggs and Ham” in his trademark cadence.

People who post "all lives splatter" are apparently not welcome at Fergie's Pub. Philly conservative columnist Thom Nickels just learned this.

Reading To Kill a Mockingbird in school, I pictured Boo Radley as sort of a monstrous figure. The way Robert Duvall portrayed him in the movie, as someone inadvertently menacing and not fully able to overcome that impression, was really powerful (and why it’s one of my favorite movies).

The thawing out has left behind a Philly trash special, relics from a bygone era, before the city was buried under historic snowfall and its inhabitants were forced inside.

I hadn't heard this shit until now and finding out Platner was all in on "black people don't tip" makes way too much sense. And it's a huge red flag for anyone who works in hospitality because it's not true. Everyone who's worked behind the stick knows who undertips and it's not the black community

There was just a local commercial during the Olympic broadcast for the Catholic Church of Philadelphia that was a very clear (but not outright stated) repudiation of the current administration and the shithead adult converts like JD Vance.

Was feeling really drained yesterday, figured it was just the effects of a long week. But when I went up to bed (at 9:30), I realized that, nope, I was getting sick. Mostly just achy, weak, and chills, only a low-grade fever fever (not above 99.5), nothing respiratory. But it still sucks!

here’s my problem with the fintwitter account: all it does is repost word-for-word whatever this mumbai-based twitter account (which does not cite sources) posts. not necessarily trustworthy imo, even if it is correct more often than not!

This is the kind of thing that a lot of us were morbidly joking about during the early days of the pandemic, like “if you ever used/did blow in the (insert local dive bar/punk club) bathroom, you should be safe”.
