And another thing... Ceedee Lamb is an all-world talent, but, my god, he's a shit. I didn't see Pickens taunting the Philly crowd, and he's arguably a better receiver. Saquon Barkley shows that you can be all-world and still embrace sportsmanship and be a total nice guy. #eagles

#Eagles #2 Woolen reminds me of when we used to call Izell Jenkins "Toast." He's not defending passes well, and he's not tackling, either. I said it.

I consider myself a mid-information voter. I wouldn't know anything about the Sunday talk shows without Aaron Rupar. Aside from the fact that Republicans routinely go on these shows and lie their asses off, who's watching? CNN, NBC, CBS... Not exactly MAGA audiences, I'm presuming.

I personally brokered a "ceasefire" and peace agreement between Hershey and Mars. This will be reflected in the candy I give out on Halloween.

Rosie the Runt loves our local West Goshen park. Only 31 acres, but two baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a newly improved basketball court, a soundstage for movies and live performances, a kiddy play center, and a paved perimeter walk of 0.8 miles. And the best dog poop bags available throughout.

Perfect. It's just perfect. We followed Joe Biden, the personification of empathy, with a crew that rejects empathy in all of its forms. Because, of course, we did. And you'd think the lesson was obvious.

Imagine watching the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" and wanting to be Jonathan Pryce. That's Elon Musk.

Could have said this years ago, when it was obvious. - - - - - One of the Republicans…told Kevin Landrigan of the New Hampshire Union Leader: “Donald Trump has turned the Republican Party into something I no longer recognize.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-15... - - - - -

Republicans control the Congress and federal government. Does anyone else smell an AI bubble about to burst?

The United States, the U.S. military, and U.S. intelligence agencies must have nothing to do with Elon Musk. Giving that man actual power over world events, including wars, is insanity. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com?utm_source=f...

Elon Musk proves that when you give a man too much money, they turn into a Bond villain.

Only if you've been in a coma for the past 11 years could you wake up today and tell a pollster that you're "undecided." I will never understand these people.

Right-wing conservatism prematurely ages you. Don't go MAGA. Save yourself. l. Russell Vought, age 50 c. Ken Paxton, age 63 r. some random libtard (me), age 72

Had Monday Night Football on while scrolling endlessly through Bluesky. Looked up to notice a whole bunch of betting lines on my screen. Oops, I still had NFL Network on. Quickly switched over to ESPN. Matthew Stafford is Elon Musk's younger, hairier brother.

2026 was the 40th anniversary of the first #LegendofZelda game from Nintendo. I bought access to the original Nintendo games, Super Nintendo games, and now Nintendo 64 games. New to me is Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time (also pre-ordered the Switch2 version of Ocarina, coming on 11/5).

No. No, no, and again no. "Please take a moment to share your feedback" emails keep coming from every business I ever have contact with. Stop it. (The latest came from CVS because I got a flu shot.)

There's a federal judge hearing a case involving trees on a golf course who is having the same problem I've had since 2016. Who the hell is Donald Trump that so many willingly give up careers and legacies in service of his obvious crimes?

'Tis the season. A very small black speck on the side of Rosie's nose turned out to be a tick. I HATE THOSE THINGS. I'm glad we have a white dog. Check your animals carefully if they've been outdoors. (Rosie at the park after the fringe of a hurricane went through. Volleyball pit was flooded.

As I watch Washington and New York heading into overtime today, I will always remember when Donovan McNabb was unaware that an NFL game could end in a tie. He was probably thinking of college rules, with double- or triple-overtime.

I've heard over the past couple of days that Trump is considering an attack on Iran before the midterm elections. The idea that he can just kill any number of people to sway American voters is revolting. But it fits Trump's brain to a T. Human life has no value. Anything to retain power.

Attending a big event next weekend, so I'm getting my COVID booster and flu shots tomorrow. I wear my face mask (still) when I go shopping, not because I'm out in public, but because you all are. As an aside, PA is the largest outbreak of measles in the country. The American public is pathetic.

The good news: Texas is now labeled "toss up." The better news: Trump is headed to Texas to campaign for Republicans.

Penn State dropped out of the AP Top 25. Phillies were one-and-done in the playoffs. Eagles lost their 2nd game today, showing major cracks. If the Republicans somehow manage to win in November and keep Congress, I don't know if I can take it. I'm begging you all - get out and VOTE Democratic.

How does the NFL fill a stadium in London to watch American football? I'm guessing the tickets are free, first of all... Or is it CGI?

When I write about the Greedy Bastards, I don't think anyone exemplifies that more than the people profiting off of gambling apps and the ubiquitous advertising. Evil. Just plain evil. Pennsylvania is Ground Zero. www.inquirer.com/news/gamblin...

Trump didn't like the numbers coming out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so he fired the woman tasked with compiling them. I look at the numbers from July, August, September, and the constant revisions of previous months, and wonder why investors would trust this administration's numbers.

"Any Democrat is better than any Republican." I believe that. And it certainly holds true for Florida and Ohio.

Thanks to Will Bunch for reminding me that so much of what comes from right-wing voices only wants to take me off track. Their outrage shouldn't be mine. I have only one job: VOTE. Vote to silence the right and put them back under their rock. www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Gulf of America. Lake America. Super intelligence. My response to the last is my response to them all: KMA.

Here's what the AI chatbot Claude had to say about the AI security "deal" Trump and tech executives signed today. 😅

Again I have to ask. If Pumpkin Spice is so great, then why don't we have pumpkin spice this and that all year long? Like George Carlin said, if "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should," so how come there's no tobacco flavored ice cream?

WIRED article claims: "At a local level, over 500 candidates running for state legislator positions in November are members of far-right groups on Facebook." If you don't want to vote for a white nationalist, easy solution: vote straight Democratic ticket. www.wired.com/story/these-...

No more Monday Night games for the Eagles, please. Their nonexistent pass coverage just made a 61 year old 3rd-stringer who hasn't played in a football game since 1987 look like a sure Hall of Famer. Next up: LA Rams, who also have to figure out a few things.

>sigh< I just think football programs should be more about, y'know, football and less about non-entertainers trying to be entertaining. P.S.: I never could stand Michael Irvin, but every time we have to relive those glory days FROM 30 YEARS AGO. Get over it already.

Duran did good. Phillies are in the playoffs. They clinched their spot with the very last game of a 162 game season. Oh, but they have to face the Atlanta Braves first.

I canceled the NYT years ago, for not reporting on Trump without sanewashing or bothsidesing. The Phila Inquirer got my money because of Will Bunch. I rank him, Dan Froomkin, and Margaret Sullivan as tops, just behind @hcrichardson.bsky.social . (No offense.) www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

The good news (for Phillies fans) is that the Phillies are up 7-1 halfway through the 6th inning. The bad news is that Zach Wheeler has thrown 96 pitches and is likely done for the day.

Playing Final Fantasy III on my laptop while watching Commanders v. Seahawks. TV sound muted. (there are very few booth analysts that I can listen to)

Come to think of it, we were THIS CLOSE to having Bill Clinton or Doug Emhoff as First Gentleman. Instead, we got Melania Trump. Twice. The gods can be very cruel.

I tease my wife for taking dog out for a walk in a hurricane. (I know, I know, nor'easter.) Western suburbs of Philly, we get drizzle. Down the shore, they get flooded. But we have New Jersey to protect us from extreme weather. That's why PA is one of the best places to live. Thanks, Jersey.

I would pay one actual American dollar, backed up by the full faith and credit of the U.S. stinkin' A., for a good football program on Sunday mornings. One I could actually watch, anyway. ESPN, Fox, NFL Network... it's all insufferable garbage.

Okay, newspapers, this one really burns me. Reading an article, there's a link, I click, and it takes me to "X." I avoid X like the plague. I don't know why you maintain your account on X. But I WANT TO KNOW it's a link to X before I click on it. The link URL is always munged so I can't tell.

As expected, our new budget payments for heating oil in the coming year is up. Way up. Like, 70% up. Add this to our electric bill being up 33% over last year, and Donald John Trump is costing us real money. November 3.

My super-helpful electric company sends me email advice on cutting down on our electricity use. I guarantee, there is nothing that we are doing differently that would cause our electric bill to be 50% higher than it normally was. It's not us. I guess I would call this "gaslighting."

@joanwalsh.bsky.social in The Nation: "Is it too soon to say farewell to Speaker Mike Johnson? [If the Democrats win the House]…there might even be debate over whether he gets the title of GOP minority leader.” Goodbye, Little Mikey. We hardly knew ye. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I read @hcrichardson.bsky.social daily newsletter and the blatant criminality of this administration, that waves billions of taxpayer dollars around like it means nothing, and I know that all of the Congressional Republicans just turn a blind eye or actively defend their actions. November 3.

Every one of the Republicans in Congress (House or Senate) has the Trump Taint© on them. Try as they might, it doesn't wash off. November 3.
