Amy Poehler, Mike Shur, *and* Antonia Thomas?! I'm in.

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

“Now we get chicken *and* possession of the basketball!” I love @katetscott.bsky.social. 😂 #Sixers

The playoff clinching scenarios for the weekend have landed. The Union clinch with a win over New England, or a tie plus one of: RBNY tie vs Miami RBNY lose to Miami Columbus tie vs Toronto (@markfishkin.bsky.social asks why RBNY is given the agency, and I answer it was the league's phrasing...)

Reuters: US SUPREME COURT DECLINES TO ALLOW TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO ENFORCE RESTRICTIONS ON GENDER-AFFIRMING MEDICAL CARE FOR TRANSGENDER FEDERAL PRISONERS

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Happy #Blindspotting on Netflix Day! This is one of my favorite shows of all time and I need everyone to go watch it.

Gender-Balanced Hiring On TV Shows “Backsliding,” New Report Finds - The Hollywood Reporter

I am not going to judge whether or not Jalen Hurts should have flown, or played in the game, because a statement is not the whole story and I'm also not a doctor. I'm just going to pray that he gets through this safely without any further complications.

And still some people in this town will insist he’s not manly enough. I worry about him ever playing football again, never mind whether WIP will win another Super Bowl.

I don't love that this focuses on the Browns, specifically because of their current QB, but it does look like a show that I will enjoy...

Everyone starts to boo the ref for making a bad call. Young girl behind me: “I don’t know why we’re booing, but I’m booing.” …and, just like that, a new Philly sports fan was born.

I think that this fight needs to keep going, until we all die. I get that. Many fights won't be over ...ever. But for this next stretch, how about those who benefit most from toxic, misogynist systems, those who have regrets about choices they made, how about those folks take the lead for a bit?

As seen on @lastweektonight.com 👀 The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so we did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations: https://projects.propublica.org/rx-inspector/

ha!! www.ms.now/news/a-gop-p...

The @philadelphiaunion.com continue to be the only team I can count on to not ruin my mood. 😔

FINALLY!!!

It's not so much that we need to be afraid of AI itself, it's that we are afraid of what most *men* want to do with it -- to us.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

Having trouble deciding which books to buy from Amazon during Prime Days? Try this: None, then go support an independent bookstore instead. 😌

ATX TV Festival Sets ‘Sweet 16’ Theme for 2027 Lineup With #Revenge Reunion, #FreaksAndGeeks Script Reading - Variety #ATXTVs16

Found the perfect screengrab to use the next time someone tries to tell me I’m missing out on important discourse by not using Elon Musk’s mircoblog site

The SPEAKER implies. The LISTENER infers. The DUDE abides.

RING. THE. DAMN. BELL. 🔔 LFG!!

My nerves are totally shot, but we live to fight another day!! Let’s go, Phillies!!

Kyle Schwarber has reclaimed sole possession of third place on MLB's all-time postseason home run list. He had been tied with George Springer, but now has 24. Only Manny Ramirez (29) and Jose Altuve (27) have hit more.

The Senate rejected the House-approved Stop Insider Trading Act that would have banned federal lawmakers from trading individual stocks. https://www.washingtonsun.com/congress/bill-banning-lawmakers-trading-stocks-senate

Today, Philadelphia Union midfielder Cavan Sullivan has been voted the MLS Player of the Month for September 2026, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to earn the honor (17 years and two days old). www.mlssoccer.com/news/philade...

Me, a mentally unstable Philly sports fan: The Eagles are making me sad, and the Phillies are making me sad, but maybe a new Flyers season will cheer me up.

Happy Wawa Gobbler Season to all who celebrate!

If anyone needs me this week, I'll be cheering on Jules and Ophelia (for the 100th time) as they protect the women of Darlington University from predators. #SweetVicious

The @philadelphiaunion.com are the only one of my teams that didn’t disappoint me today.

#nowplaying I'm So Happy by Ms. Rachel

In no particular order, my top 10 is: Deadwood, The Good Place, Orphan Black, Justified, Schitt's Creek, 12 Monkeys, Reservation Dogs, Blindspotting, Shrinking, and The Americans...

Happy 9-25 to those who observe. #9to5 #DollyPartonDay

As the genocide in Gaza continues, the Trump administration is preparing a $2.8 billion weapons sale to Israel, paid for largely with U.S. tax dollars. Contact your members of congress today and ask them to block the weapons sales to Israel here: www.votervoice.net/PCUSA/Campai... #PCUSA #Advocacy

I profiled Cavan Sullivan. The fables are endless, the talent obvious since age 2, but what makes him different? "He has a ‘f*** you’ mentality — excuse my French — that sometimes can be too much for his teammates. But he’s fearless.” And where does it come from? Family, and Northeast Philly:

Someone needs to explain to Trump that the worse Republicans do in the midterms, the better it looks for him. Just goes to show the party is utterly lost without him on the ballot! He’s literally the only Republican who has the juice. (Natalie, if you see this, please print and share.)

MLB says Phillies can clinch a postseason berth tonight with a win AND a loss by either Arizona or San Diego. Got it?

It's official: Starbucks is gutting DEI policies company-wide to curry favor with Florida politicians as our union's call for a boycott grows. Vote with your dollar. BOYCOTT STARBUCKS.
