Flyers hit Crosby. Fans cheer. Crosby gets up, starts play that ends with Penguins goal. Tale as old as time.

Wow, the Flyers got swept? And they still haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1975? Damn. On the bright side, maybe Gritty will fall down a manhole, too.

The most indelible Bill Mazeroski moment to me, the one that epitomized who he was, was not the famous home run to win the 1960 Series, but this speech. After a 29-year wait, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Overcome with emotion, Maz cuts his speech short: #RIPMaz

It has taken Homer Simpson a very long time to realize that Philadelphia is his kind of town
From the Betsy Ross House to Gritty, the 800th episode of 'The Simpsons' is full of local references. Thanks to writer Christine Nangle who grew up in the city.

Top right corner. Can't help but wonder if The Simpsons paid subtle tribute to Dan McQuade in tonight's set-in-Philadelphia 800th episode.

I feel like there are two kinds of people. Those who look at his post seasom record and say “that’s what happens when you take teams who have no business making the playoffs into the playoffs so consistently” and those who look it at is a sign of his failure to win games that matter.

Really have to credit Mike Tomlin for winning a Super Bowl 17 years ago, getting to another two years later, and going 3-10 in the playoffs ever since.

The Steelers have by far the most expensive defensive roster but they are a bottom 10 unit in several metrics. It’s not just players playing poorly. They are predictable and it’s simply way easy to make them unravel.

Got a new story in The Ringer today. You have encountered Steelers exceptionalism a million times. It's the belief that the Pittsburgh NFL team is football's one indispensable franchise and somehow different from the other 31. It's also about to come crashing down www.theringer.com/2025/09/02/n...

The Last Gasp of Steelers Exceptionalism
Pittsburgh has long acted like it’s better than its NFL peers. As the Aaron Rodgers era begins, will Mike Tomlin’s team be anything more than average?

The Biden administration had wire and securities fraud charges in motion against Musk for doing this. Elon Musk bought the election for Donald Trump because doing this, lying about the current and future capabilities of the vehicles he sells, is the foundation of his entire fortune.

this week's newsletter: the soy right maxread.substack.com/p/soy-right-...
We’re now three weeks into the second Trump administration, and it seems clear that something has changed from the first go-round. The MAGA populist fraction of the Trumpist coalition has been relatively marginalized in favor of the austerian-accelerationist Silicon Valley right. The archetypal article about Trump voters in rural diners replaced with magazine stories about obnoxious arrivistes comparing Trump to Beyoncé and the inauguration to Comic-Con. Even Trump himself seems oddly sidelined, his threats about tariffs and treasuries effectively ignored by both heads of state and the stock market, his striking and creative Truth social postings left mostly unread--while Elon Musk attracts all resistance energy simply by tweeting “🤣” at some of the worst jokes on the planet.

The end beneficiaries of Trumpist upward redistribution haven’t changed much. But the affect of the second Trump administration is, so far, wholly different. Gone is the apocalyptic malevolence of “American carnage,” supplanted by the unctuous corniness of “DOGE.” Gone is the sense of a lasting political realignment, succeeded by an inescapable minoritarian whine. Gone are Steve Bannon, the alt-right, and the “forgotten man and woman” Trump celebrated in his 2016 victory speech. In their place: Elon Musk and the Soy Right.

To me the other key aspect of the Soy Right psychological profile, beyond its desperate need for approval and respect, is a childlike refusal of agency and responsibility, even while in power. A 20-something with access to Treasury Department systems is a “kid” whose racism shouldn’t be disqualifying. The South African billionaire throwing Nazi salutes is a enthusiastic neuroatyptical man who needs our sympathy. The Vice President of the United States would never have attracted the attention of the Pope if it weren’t for “hysteric progressives,” the real villains. Silicon Valley oligarchs were “driven into Trump’s arms” by the perfidy of Democrats. No one in the Soy Right makes affirmative choices; they’re smol beans who need protection and care.

This insistence on one’s own weakness a contemptible way to live in the world. But the style of the Soy Right is as important, and in some ways even more depressing, than its animating resentments. If the online right of the first Trump administration was an unstable blend of Facebook credulity and 4chan nihilism, the Soy Right is an unbearable mix of Reddit corniness and Twitter self-satisfaction. We can look at some examples. Renaming a government agency after a decade-old memecoin and making the website an A.I.-generated cartoon--that’s Soy Right
