Austin Riley just dragged the Phillies into the shadow realm. Appropriate, too, given the way the light is hitting White Flight Park on this late September afternoon

Just remembering my day started with the chimney-repair guy calling me to reschedule because he was on his way "to the detective's" because his teenage daughter was "being groomed by her mother's husband." I think a "hey a family emergency came up, I'll reach back out soon" would've been fine

the thing about the "you're out of touch if you haven't heard this song" discourse is that radio has been dead for well over a decade. it's extremely normal to listen to a lot of music but still never hear the songs at the top of the charts.

You can also just hear Taylor sing about it herself in her new hit song “Wyomissing!” Sample lyric: “He took me to the Reading Mall / Boscov’s discounts, and that ain’t all!”

Re-reading "Common Sense" and it struck me that England's pretty damn tiny. It's the size of New Jersey and Pennsylvania stuck together, and without any of the hoagie sensibilities.

It brings me so much peace knowing that every old person I see with tons of tattoos looks extremely cool. That was always the rub when I was young, people saying “they’re going to look bad when you’re old” and it is seeming more and more that the exact opposite is true and I’m gonna look wicked

Love to see the love for I May Destroy You's single season cracking the top 20. An otherworldly journey and one of the best finales ever. I feel the complete opposite about the OA even sniffing the end of this list. Absolute diaper pail of a show

The Skook arresting 1% of its population in exchange for new cop cars and guns should be a statewide, historically damaging scandal

I like that my commute goes directly under the local airport’s flight path. I periodically get chances to imagine someone reenacting the end of Executive Decision or Air Force One or Turbulence or damn we had a lot of those movies all at the same time

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

Fig. A is how I talk now, where Fig. B was trying to approximate how I talked as a kid. I've tried to elocute more as I grew up and traveled beyond PA. (The positive "anymore" is something I've never said but plenty of family do; I say "crayon," "cauliflower," and "syrup" differently than family.)

Hard to undersell how much Dolly Parton meant to Nashville. You can’t walk two blocks here without seeing some sign or tribute. My favorite was the incomparable Dino’s Bar & Grill temporarily “changing” their name to Dolly’s with a handmade sign out front
A handmade sign that says Dolly’s hangs over Dino’s Bar & Grill in E. Nashville

As always, my desire to sleep late wins out when I roll up to the trendy brunch spot and immediately get a counter spot because all the groups of 12 have already eaten and gone by 11:45

Every once in a while, I wonder what it'd be like to be completely unplugged from the political spheres. Like my BIL, who has an ice-blue Porsche 911 with the vanity plate ICE911, and probably hasn't thought twice about that particular combination of letters and numbers

I simply do not believe you all when you say going to the gym helps you relieve stress and anxiety. I am never at my most negative than when I’m at the gym, exhausted and annoyed and rather be doing anything else. The best part of working out is the minute it’s over

Guy sitting aisle seat across from me refused to get up to let his partner, sitting middle, out to use the bathroom. Sat there, motionless, sipping his Jack & Coke, while she climbed over him. Now he’s watching Joe Rogan while he eats his kid’s Apple Jacks. Anyway he’ll probably run as a state rep.

Me: The Kobayashi Maru test is revered as a narrative device to show James T. Kirk's unique blend of lateral thinking and maverick personality, but it's subtly an allegory for the nihilism of the entrenched rent-seekers of post-liberal governance The Hamburglar: Robble Robble!
