The Eagles went into this game pretty screwed and so I wasn't gonna be crabby if they lost and they managed to lose in a way that is gonna have me crabby all day.

I'm not gonna say "it makes sense," but I will say when I realized that the Reactionary Conservative Brain views the primary function of civilization as Punishment First, I feel like I gained a lot of understanding into how these people think. Go ahead and apply this theory to everything they do.

Philly's always been over-reliant on vibes for its sports culture, and I'm trying to think of a moment in my lifetime when the vibes have been worse than they are right now. Cam Jurgens might be lucky to have gotten traded.

Honestly, good for Lane Johnson for bailing out before he's wheelchair bound.

Or it might have been this. She went from kinda silly kooky cartoon villain with a proposterous scheme to oh shit, this is just about vengeful death now, and a weaponized car is horrifying.

The beauty of it is it instantly connected in the most human way to everyone watching. Like my dad watching the news sees this and extends his arm out to the TV like "Right? THIS guy rescuing babies from a fire GETS it." Unlike Agholor Guy shared a beer in spirit, through the screen, with my dad.

Please add these three guys, plus this arena.

Eagles fan about to decleat himself on a pillar in the subway (he was fine).

Eagles fan shirtless with an eagle mask during the Get Weird phase of the celebration.

Eagles fan leaning back as a Vikings fan leans into his space with her hands reaching to cup his face or something, he holds his ground but is leaning away from her, convulsing like he had a stroke, and just hollers "go birds" over whatever she is trying to monologue at him.

Maybe this shouldn't count because I have no idea what it was called but I remember some animated movie or show where a teen puts on a ring and turns into a monster, and I fled to another room sobbing and, like, convulsing in fear at this. I was a pretty fearful little kid with a big imagination.

Absolute horseshit embarrassing take. A cat did not introduce you to The Chronic, that was your buddy's rescue mutt who always was stoked to see you when you came over.

I sincerely want the USMNT to embrace the Goofy Vibes. I suspect we might be a Vibes Team who can find success in weirdness.

Castellanos's unbuttoned top button turns out to have been load-bearing.

Right now it's to convince myself that the Eagles Super Bowl wins have turned the volume down on how much emotional investment I have in sports and so I'm not gonna get too angry and sad about Aaron Nola being washed and the championship window for this core of Phillies being firmly closed.

I had turned the game off and booted up BG3. This is how I found out they won.

Denny's post here is how I learned about "Choosin' Texas" which tells me it's a Discourse Phenomenon. I've now looked up what it is. I'm not a country music guy but I have for sure at least heard of other popular artists and songs before. Not so for this one or Ella Langley. Now I have, I guess

It's an oblique pander, but it checks out. I was about to applaud it.

Reacher striving for Philly authenticity leads to Lehigh Valley Mentioned.

The Eagles are fucking dogshit, they are 2 - 0.

I'm on vacation and it's one of the shirts I packed. I will never give this away. A reminder of What They Took From Us.

"Go easy on her, Daddy Figures are common in her culture" is the sort of understanding that the left is always, always asked to extend to the right, while the right is never asked to extend any understanding at all to the left. Instead, their sense of superiority is constantly encouraged.

Good news! It's not a 16-game season anymore.

Really gorgeous evening to be back Minneapolis.

It's very funny for me personally that the Get Right series for my favorite baseball team seems to be kicking the shit out of my second favorite team, who are in the other league. Classic runners-on Duran save, too.

I didn't know The Babadook was based on anything, this is interesting.

When I was a little kid reading the intro to MegaMan 2, that is what I told my parents his name was because I didn't know the word "wily" yet. I was so validated to see it decades later in 7.

Imagine cruising the city streets in these wheels with the window down on your way to pregame with your boys, blasting Raise Up by Petey Pablo.

The Best Gundam show mentioned, so this post gets love from me. This is the best analysis of robot design for this preposterous, jaw-clenchingly problematic show. I wish all Americans could be the America Bot Japan thinks we are.

I had gym class in school but that is just dabbling in athletic stuff, similar to art and music class. Schools generally don't force anyone to join a sports team unless it's some kind of dedicated private academy or whatever.

Here's a real high-class bout!

I am absolutely all for people having fun blasting through Souls games with cheeses and exploits and helpers, especially if they wouldn't play them at all otherwise, but I'm concerned the discourse is tipping over into dismissiveness toward the idea of wanting to duel a boss raw.

Saw this post while scrolling and I wanted to make sure it received the Go Birdses it warrants and it did. Good work, everyone.

This remains my favorite ever controller because I have large-ish hands and PlayStation and Nintendo controllers have always been made for tiny elves. My hands aren't even THAT huge! Modern Xbox and Switch Pro Controllers are acceptable but even them I would like bigger.

Inspired choice using a gif of this guy for Haters Week. Go Birds.

I'm curious how anyone is able to convince them to play ball with journalism when what they want is just PR. If you tell them you can't do PR for them, what keeps them from just shrugging and scrapping an interview all together?

Watching Exit 8 by myself and it's an extremely gamey kinda movie, which is clever - it presents a challenge and the protagonist immediately gets after it in a very game-systematic manner - but the biggest jump scare I've had was when there was a smash cut to a commercial for Betterhelp.

LeBron signing with the Sixers is fun and all, but I am really not wanting to declare this the culmination and grand payoff of The Process.

Matt Eddy @matteddy.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

In honor of LeBron, I typed out a list of all of Embiid's injuries to a group chat and it is very long and I of course got a bunch of "I ain't readin all that," but my god how is he still alive.

Little kid me was emotionally baffled by this, it was like all of a sudden out of nowhere at the very end there was this wistful longing to the character with zero direction, so you were left with this sense that there was so much more going on in this world but no idea what it could all be.
