@BoopStats I have tickets for Thursday. Don't listen to him @RedSox

MLB should “prepone” the Phillies-Red Sox Thursday game (lots of rain) and play two today . . . Seriously, they move games up by hours to avoid weather, why not move it up by a day?!?!? . . .

@BasedMikeLee This is how you know gas prices aren’t coming down anytime soon.

The federal gasoline tax was introduced to build the interstate highway system That system is now built We should now repeal the federal gasoline tax and let each state maintain its portion of the interstate highway system—with its own revenue—as was the plan from the beginning

@whitecitycinema Paul Simon - Run That Body Down

Once more, I am asking for your help in compiling a playlist:

@Athletics I see a Chooch jersey, I give a like.

dream ➡ reality

@whitefeelimgs @somanyshrimp

@somanyshrimp Depeche Mode is basically the Killers of the 80s. You really only need the hits

Objectively false. Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, B-52s, Siouxsie, the Cure, those are singles-only bands. Take the hits to your Desert Island and you won’t miss the rest. But got to have the whole Smiths catalog

@MichaelAvenatti Karma for both of them for meddling in the Eagles locker room all of last season.

This is crazy!!!!! A pregnant lady having an affair. Allowed on a boat. In Tennessee. With a coach. Can we destroy both of their lives? Does Tennessee have the death penalty? How about their families, can we make them suffer more and humiliate them? GTFOH!

@CartoonsHateHer Completely blocking your arteries to own the libs.

I feel like there's this misconception that Muslims like, worship pigs and are offended by people eating them, when pigs are actually just seen as too filthy to eat.

@DannyDrinksWine Mom obviously wasn't vibing with Mallrats either.

Kevin Smith on how his mother reacted after watching "Clerks" (1994): "My mother watched 'Clerks' (1994) and when she was done she said, ‘You spent twenty-seven thousand dollars on that piece of garbage?’ And I was like, ‘Thanks, Mom!’ I was never mad at her. I was like, it is not her kind of movie. As soon as the movie got acknowledged, her tune didn’t change. She was just like, ‘Obviously there is something to it I am not seeing.’ And yet she wept when she saw 'Chasing Amy' (1997) and thought it was wonderful. I asked her, Why this movie?’ And she was just like, ‘I identify with this movie in ways you will never understand.’ And I was like, ‘What? The lesbian movie you identify with? You are my mother”" ("My First Movie", Edited by Stephen Lowenstein, 2000)

@BuckSexton Yeah, someone show the thieves to this dork.

Stealing. The main reason is people are stealing. McDonald's should release security camera footage and show us who the thieves are.

@luvtheunder @_piccone Maybe he was trying to trick Garcia into thinking he didn't need to tag up, pretending like the ball dropped. But Garcia was already back at the bag when he caught it.

@_piccone How does the CF catch the ball in that position? It was in the air forever

@schaeffer_phil @DefiyantlyFree

@DefiyantlyFree Hmm, so what should be done with someone who posted this?

James Comey did not stumble onto a beach and innocently photograph some seashells. He is the former Director of the FBI. He spent decades studying exactly how coded language is used to signal violence against public figures. He led the Bureau through the rise of stochastic terrorism as a national security category. Then he posted “86 47” arranged in sand to hundreds of thousands of followers, with eighty-six being slang for elimination and forty-seven being the sitting President of the United States, who had survived two assassination attempts in the previous twelve months. He took the post down within hours, which is the move of a man who knew exactly what he had communicated and realized he had said it too plainly. Innocent posts do not get deleted within hours. The defense, that he simply did not connect the numbers to violence, is laughable. He was on a national press tour promoting his novel FDR Drive, a thriller about a public figure using coded messaging to incite his followers to commit acts of violence against political enemies. He told NPR the book’s central themes were free speech and “what happens when someone’s words incite violence.” A man cannot be on national radio explaining how coded incitement operates while simultaneously claiming he failed to recognize coded incitement in his own Instagram feed. That is not a coincidence. That is a confession delivered by a defendant who spent eight years building a public career on personal opposition to Donald Trump. The First Amendment is not a magic word. The Supreme Court ruled in Counterman v. Colorado in 2023 that true threats lose protection when the speaker consciously disregards a substantial risk his communication will be read as threatening violence. Comey’s expertise, his audience, his timing, his take-down, and his eight years of documented hostility toward the President all answer that question. He knew. He of all people knew. And in the end, the country needs to face what this case actually is: a former Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation posting a coded call for the removal of a sitting President during an active assassination threat environment, then asking the same Bureau he once led to believe he meant nothing by it. Stop it.

@kylebradfordd @billybinion Did you ever notice what all the people featured on US currency have in common? Or US stamps, for the most part?

@billybinion Take it up with the treasury department and have them change all of our money bills then

Obama worship was real. His face was plastered on clothing. I hated it, as did many on the right. This stuff is *so* much worse. I find it viscerally disgusting. Worshiping a man like this—and forcing taxpayers to fund it—isn’t ~owning the libs.~ It’s a form of weakness.

Quick check in on Philly sports 😅 Phillies: Fire Rob Thomson after losing 11 of 12 Flyers: 2 losses away from a reverse sweep 76ers: Getting demolished by the Celtics in a playoff series once again Eagles: On the brink of trading AJ Brown after a disappointing season Rough times in the City of Brotherly Love 😬

@VariantDraft @TheAcademy The movie begins on September 9, 1999 at 9:09am.

If you could greenlight one music biopic tomorrow, who are you choosing?

@jjabbott Surely all of the steel being used to construct the ballroom is from PA, right?

John Fetterman and Dave McCormick want Pennsylvanians to foot the bill for Trump’s reckless war and his stupid ballroom. They get rich of stock trades and waste billions while Pennsylvanians can’t afford basic needs.

@TONYinCT @cwebbonline It's like how a slumlord operates. Why pay more to remove mold when you can just paint over it?

@cwebbonline Lol waste? You stupid man. 2m vs govt proposal of 300m? You smoking some nasty shit

More waste… I’m not sure who told Donald Trump painting the Reflecting Pool was a good idea, because it will need to be recoated every few years. As a pool owner, I can tell you paint doesn’t last like hard surfaces. The existing granite lasted a lifetime and should have just been repaired as needed, not coated over.
