The #Phillies once blew a 6½-game lead in 1964. This year, they had a 6½-game cushion again. Sunday isn’t just about making the playoffs. It’s about avoiding a collapse that could stand alongside the most infamous in Philadelphia sports history. www.philadelphiabaseballreview.com/2026/09/phil...

Phillies are one loss from making 1964 look less lonely in Philadelphia sports history
The Phillies once blew a 6½-game lead in 1964. Now, 62 years later, another 6½-game cushion has brought them to the brink again.

For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession. Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/

Holy crap: The Saudi pipeline that the Iranians bombed is responsible for 4% of the world's oil supply. The pipeline could be off line to repair for weeks. Wait until you see gas prices this week! www.businessday.co.za/world/2026-0...

Trump is openly committing war crimes in Iran by bombing civilian infrastructure such as bridges and water desalination plants. But international law is meaningless when not enforced. Trump has watched Netanyahu engage in a genocide with no personal consequences. That has embolden Trump.

Just because corporate media has stopped talking about the people thrown in concentration camps doesn't mean their struggle is over. They're dying, carrying out hunger strikes, begging you to fight for them. Fighting fascism is fighting so many battles at once. They deserve our solidarity.

The black-and-white photo A Great Day in Harlem shows 57 musicians gathered around the steps of a Harlem brownstone, while some kids sit on the curb. The photo was originally shot for an August 1958 issue of Esquire Magazine.
