I just looked at the Penn State score.

And then figured out the game is actually IN HAPPY VALLEY!

Northwestern is going to go to Beaver Stadium and beat PSU.

Holy. Crap.

Man, @defector.com is ALL ABOUT Philadelphia sports …

Until the Phillies are in the playoffs, it seems.

Never heard of Beli before. I’m finding three mentions on the entirety of BlueSky spread over the past seven months.

Yet it’s crowned by @nytimes.com as having unseated Yelp. Strange.

VACCINATED!

Now it’s your turn.

I feel like a t-shirt that says

VACCINATED

would be a good thing about now.

For the past three years, the city has been giving cash to some struggling renters, no strings attached.

The first-in-the-nation experiment has been even more successful than researchers studying its impact expected.
Philly’s first-in-the-nation experiment giving cash to struggling renters is working, researchers say
Families that got cash rental assistance were less likely to be evicted, experience homelessness, and report having serious problems with their homes, according to a study of the PHLHousing+ program.

what does an AI priest get demoted to?

why can an AI be a priest but a woman can’t?

does the Church believe that AI gender is real?

what is the theological reasoning for not using gatorade?

is the holy spirit counteracted by electrolytes (i assume this is how christianity works)?

Look. Seriously. @defector.com is one of the really good websites in the world these days. They do excellent work. They're sharp and fun and employee owned!

And they have a deal right now to try it out for three months for $5.

They're worth supporting, if you can.

SO many reasons that he is The King.
It's the King's birthday.

Jack Kirby.

The Avengers. Fantastic Four. The New Gods. More. Infinite worlds.

And remember, he was a Nazi killer. He beat them senseless in NY, and later shot them in Europe.

Here's a sketch from Jack of his gal on some stationary he pulled from a dead Nazi.

All hail.

I’m pleased on “Alien: Earth” the guy more accurately paraphrases Asimov’s quote about technology past a point being *indistinguishable* from magic.

For too long, I’ve seen idiots say that Asimov said such technology *is* magic.

That’s a big and very important difference.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a liar and sex criminal. But MAGA is using her gender to lull people into thinking she's trustworthy.

Notably, this is the same scam she ran on her and Epstein's victims: Make them think she's "safe" because she's a woman.

One of the little pleasures of each morning was the minute or so it took to do the @nytimes.com Mini Crossword.

Shared nonsense. Low stakes.

So, of course, it MUST BE MONETIZED!

No thanks.

I guess they’re playing into the “old gray lady” nickname by being as boring as possible.

I wonder how many new subscribers the NYT will haul in after paywalling the mini crossword? What riches will they reap? 🙄

Weird how @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social is utterly silent about PATCO cutting off late-night transit from Philadelphia to NJ, which has a massive negative impact on late-shift workers from South Jersey (mostly in Camden County).

I guess they’re too busy destroying public media in the state.

Hey PATCO, it smells like someone was smoking in car 1059.

And they’re playing the Rockies, so the game might be competitive!
