The Eagles season this year is the "Not great, Bob!" line from Mad Men except it's essentially every week.

Can anyone confirm???

I have always loved my Sixers, why do you ask?

My one point on the USMNT debacle: if you are representing your country in international competition (which I have done) you should leave it all on the field, because not everyone gets those opportunities. They looked like they weren't up for it, and as an athlete I'm frustrated.

I sincerely hope that the upcoming shows are *not* the last-ever @titus-andronicus.bsky.social shows (as they so implied on Facebook) but I will be there no matter what, just in case.

Don't give me hope, now.

Doing an Eagles only run of this and running for office in South Jersey and naming only dual sport athletes like Jeremy Bloom and Devon Allen.

God, supporting this team can be bleak.

Remember, BlueSky is the Philadelphia app.

This is a massive crossover of my interests! Also before any of you say anything, Rebecca Black made some pretty good albums recently!

I'm going to try and sponsor this show to advertise my forthcoming worst EP of music. I think it fits the theme, really.

I think I was singlehandedly keeping this product alive in my late undergrad / MA program years. Memories.

"They've never disappointed me before!" says person present for all three Open Cup final losses and a dust storm. That's me, I'm person.

Read (reread? Does high school count?) Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead over the weekend; still holds up I'm happy to report. Also good to know I can still read literature for fun after reading academic articles all week.

I am trying not to be mad about the Eagles. I shouldn't be overly mad about the Eagles. I am mad about the Eagles.

THANK GOD Criterion version next ok thx

Musicians need to bring back transistor organs and string machines into songwriting. And no, I don't mean VST emulations, give me a faithful physical recreation of those divide down boards powering the Vox Continental or Solina String Ensemble.

RIP Uni Watch. One of my favorite internet spaces is gone.

Do legislators write their own email newsletters? How do they determine what content to include? I had the opportunity to chat with former MEP @richardcorbett.bsky.social and learn from a politician's perspective on communicating with constituents. adamlozer.github.io/blog/posts/2...

Listening to doom metal and getting work done, my personal iconic duo.

Hmm, neutral good usually.

This is where I ask for an NWSL team in Philly. Again. Doesn't even have to be at that particular location!

Playing through the Mastodon discography with Brent Hinds passing away. The band is integral to a few of my friendships and my relationship to music itself. Learned a few of the riffs, even. Just devastating.

I just...it was a movie!!! He's not real!!!

Worth every penny, people. Go buy it.

Happy New Jersey Day, long may we reign.

Master of Reality is one of the best albums ever and no I'm not just saying that because I enjoy doom metal.

Invested in a real office chair for at-home dissertation writing and I have seriously been missing out.

Queens of the Stone Age, SftD Them Crooked Vultures, s/t Arctic Monkeys, Humbug Titus Andronicus, The Monitor Mastodon, Remission Church of the Cosmic Skull, Everybody's Going To Die High on Fire, Surrounded By Thieves Taylor Swift, evermore Chappell Roan, TRAFOAMP Alain Johannes, Spark

Nice! Can't wait. NWSL next though, too.

Go birds.

I need to live more biblically (angrily argue with my friends about the nature of suffering while covered in boils in the ashes of my house)

In college my friends and I would have "bad jersey" exchanges. I received the jersey in this image once.

I found the receipt in my email for the stream from the Sutton game in 2019. Fun to think about. @leytonorientear.com

Okay, now I'm actually looking. @orientoutlook.bsky.social Am I insane for this? No, of course not.

This may surprise you but trying to record an EP in one day requires a little bit of recovery time. Ten hours in the studio on Friday and I'm still exhausted.

re: Orient; not booking, just looking...just in case... @leytonorientear.com

Every new monthly Criterion release without Walk Hard makes me a tad bit more insane.

Another year, another complaint that the combined fencing format blocks schools that only field women's teams from winning a championship. Boo!!

Being an American O's fan reading this:

Queens of the Stone Age at Vintage Vinyl (RIP) in Fords, NJ. A life highlight, all because they were warming up for Letterman. Dropped everything I was doing to get access to that show and drove from South Jersey.

Quite enjoyed @titus-andronicus.bsky.social last night in Philly. Always fun when a band pulls out a personal favorite that might count as a "deep cut" so I left pretty happy.

I processed by sleeping 3 hours and buying an Inquirer to frame. Good morning. Go birds forever.
