@SpikeEskin Less than Jake - hello Rockview Jimmy eat world - clarity American football - lp1

On our podcast The Carl Landry Record Club, every other week we just listen to an album someone tells us they love and talk about it. Almost 200 episodes in, we could use some new suggestions. Do it at the link below. Thanks!

@jescross Man i miss sugar moms so much.

@megynkelly @SenAdamSchiff Oh just just fuck off megyn. You know he’s right

Omg you are so inappropriate. Shame on you @SenAdamSchiff

@JeffBezos @AndrewYang The problem is you can’t just zero out the bottom half. It would have to be progressive, or effectively make the first $40-$50k of every tax payer non taxable. And that is WAY more than 3%. Closer to 20-30%.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

@takeths2yrgrave I don’t think very many think this is the bands best work, come on now.

On this day in 2002, The Get Up Kids released On A Wire, their third album. The band departed from the typical fast, four-chord structure and, instead, built complex songs based on each member's songwriting ideas. Unfortunately, like many second-wave bands, the attempt to expand the genre resulted with mixed reviews, but since then has been reevaluated as some of the band's best work. "Overdue" was On A Wire's only single and music video

@GovSherrillNJ Calling bullshit. A) you’re not excited if you’re about to gouge riders. B) there are 8 games. So $48M/8 = $6M per game. Approximately 1,000 passengers per train, or 40 total trains each direction. That’s $75,000 per train in cost. It doesn’t cost that much. Get real.

New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final. Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently. In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT. This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup. As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.

@GovSherrillNJ Do the same trains run daily now? If there was no event, that train is going to its destination regardless. What additional cost? Let’s stop acting like this isn’t like any other NFL game or concert.

To Recap: Our Administration inherited an agreement where FIFA contributes $0 toward transportation for the World Cup – while also eliminating parking at MetLife Stadium. Except for premium parking, where FIFA is charging over $200 per spot. As a result, NJ TRANSIT must carry four times the usual ridership for events at the venue, at a cost of $48 million. New Jerseyans shouldn’t be stuck with that bill while FIFA makes $11 billion in profits.

@KyleNeubeck Vibes won’t be great until Embiid is off this team. We have zero chance this year and very little hope of anything changing until we’re free of that contract.

Time for a vibe check. Do you believe there’s any hope to be had at the end of this Sixers season, or are we on a death march together? Let’s talk about it

@AdamSchefter Cool story bro…it’s not your jurisdiction to even have a say in the matter.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday designed to limit how long athletes can play college sports and how often they can transfer between schools. More via ESPN’s Dan Murphy: espn.com/college-sports…

@SpikeEskin Fire sale this team and start over.

@SpikeEskin He’s played like 4 games since January 1. Small sample size bud.

@Weerd_Science @Shuttlecock The prequels altogether suffer from horrific casting. If you remove jar jar and Hayden Christensen, they would have been decent.

@Shuttlecock I went with about 15-20 friends. We all were in disbelief how bad it was.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

@SpikeEskin Literally everyone has Netflix. No one was signing up for Yankees/Giants. Come on now.

@patrickbetdavid Nick Shirley is a dipshit who does little to no research and screams fraud from the mountaintops without having a clue as to what he’s talking about.

Nick Shirley is the kind of young man we need more of. He’s Tough He’s Relentless He confronts respectfully He’s Fearless He’s Brave He Loves America He’s a Man of faith He’s Humble yet driven. We need to continue to encourage & support young brave men like him.

@SenFettermanPA You’re the Democrat outrage you dolt. This is your state. You know democrats do not support this…you may as well just join the R’s at this point.

Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling. These assholes chanting for the death of our servicemembers. Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?

@lsferguson People like you make seriously question allowing everyone to vote. Maybe we need a minimum IQ at the ballot box.

I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it

@therealmikekb At this point, we should all be actively rooting for him to get a medical retirement. Otherwise, it’s time to trade Maxey. This team will go nowhere while he’s on the roster, might as well start accumulating assets.

It would be cool if the #sixers provided some sort of update on Joel Embiid.

@dr_ericberg Literally none of that happens. Who gave you a degree?

Here’s what happens to your body when you quit coffee for 30 days: Day 1 to 2: Headaches begin… 🧵

@SpikeEskin Whooooooo cares. All of this is better for draft picks in the future anyway and is our only way out of this nightmare

@PhilsTailgate When do we need to start being concerned with Trea’s atrocious spring?
