Usually the only time you get on like that is if you’re one of the last people and they’ve already vetoed a bunch of jurors.

I wasn’t thinking of race, I was thinking their beards are fucking awesome, as awesome as the bats the 1927 Yankees had. A murderer’s row of beards. It’s a metaphor.

As a high school teacher we’ve always had to encounter this from students. But you’d think the people who go into academia would have a love of knowledge. We’re so focused on knowledge as a means to an end rather than it being an end of itself and that attitude is permeating society more and more.

it’s 2026 and Google’s shitty search AI still does not understand “Delaware Valley” is a byname for the Philadelphia metro area and not a valley in Delaware nor just any area the Delaware River runs near. But yeah it’s conscious and gonna kill us.

People love to shit on grids for some reason but Philly’s grid + street/address numbering scheme is super intuitive and makes it easy as hell to navigate.

Kruk yelling run while Bryce sulks after striking out is kind of an apt way to end the series.

I’ve had a lot more fun watching worse Phillies teams With the exception of a few, this team has no heart, no drive, no fire, no chemistry. They are lifeless and unlikeable and have clear contempt for their roles Good riddance to this season, and sorry to the few who deserved better

all will turn to silver ass
the grey havens scene of return of the king but Bilbo is the Phillies, Elrond is the Astros, celeborn is the cubs, and Galadriel is the red sox. They are guiding the Phillies onto the ship departing the post-season, wherein they shall sail the straight road and leave the circles of this world. which I wish I could do right now being forced to root for this fucking team. I will say cry because this team sucks ass
