As always, Popehat's Law of Goats applies

At least my teaching career hasn't been entirely for naught

Between the Super Bowl, the start of spring training, and the All-Star break, I had a good time pretending the Sixers didn't exist. Planning on keeping that up. Hopefully I can ignore them until the draft and then I'll notice that, miraculously, they have a top-6 pick.

Dude was at the January 6 rally, clearly doesn't see Trump's speech that day as rising to the level of incitement, and then sends this horseshit letter. Oh, yeah, Garcia's language totally satisfies the Brandenburg test, sure thing, buddy. Martin's clearly a dick, as well.

Well at least there's lots of Trea Turner content today to distract me www.philliesnation.com/2025/02/phil...

"Getting toxins out of food" is a tell.

RIP Jamie Muir

our annual Presidents’ Day lesson remembering the 3 US presidents who died of a waterborne illness.

I was bummed when my kid didn't want to apply to Penn. My dad went there and worked there, and I was born on and played on that campus as a little kid. Between how PA went in the Pres election and Penn's move, however, I'm glad my kid is at a MA SLAC with a President who seems to want to fight.

I see a lot of Philly folks saying that this Eagles team is the best Philly sports team of all time and, as great as they were this season, there seems to be a real lack of awareness of how wire-to-wire dominant both the 66-67 and 82-83 Sixers were.

Should have shut Embiid down for surgery much earlier in the season. It was inevitable.

It's a shame I'm 5 hours away

E-A-G-L-E-S...EAGLES!!!

A fine day for Jake Elliott's redemption

Pretty ok first half by the Eagles 🦅🦅🦅

I am all in on Reconstruction 2: The Ultimate Boogaloo

I don't think I will ever stop being amazed at just how successful this is

The de-Martining of the Sixers roster is complete

That's gotta be a bummer for all of those old Rochester Royals fans who'd been hoping the Kings would hang on to Fox.

1. You don't have to match dollar for dollar to win. 2. You of all people have the cash, Hal. Quit crying. 3. MLB needs a spending floor to force teams like the Pirates to at least try to be a little more competitive.

Donald Trump's proclamation for #BlackHistoryMonth is a stark reminder of why Carter G. Woodson first started Negro History Week back in 1926.

Jersey-grown coffee is unimaginably bitter

Based on EPA per drive, that's the best Eagles offensive performance since... their Super Bowl win over the Patriots. The 11th-best offensive performance by any team in a game this season.

Housing is not expensive because of economic inequality or concentrated corporate power. Housing is expensive because we do not have enough homes in the places people want to live; and we do not have enough homes because 50 years ago we decided that it should be harder to build dense housing there.

Gotta get those humours back in balance

Quinyon finally got a pick!

Here's an elite "back in my day" quote, the time in 1970 when an elderly man appears to call Literally Tom Seaver At The Peak Of His Powers lazy, at least compared to the 1925 Giants www.nytimes.com/1970/04/05/a...

You know what, NYTimes, you've sucked enough already recently, and now you're giving AJ Weberman oxygen? Fuck off.

Happy 80th to Rod. I know a lot of rock n roll fans aren't in love with much of his post-'75 output but I appreciate that, in 1980, he provided me with the all-time-greatest chorus to sing to teenaged couples making out in high school hallways. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ41...

KAT will always have a place in my heart despite the fact that he went to St. Joe's (and is now on the Knicks)

1941 was a banner year, for sure

One of the biggest problems with AI is that, unlike with one of those stupid autonomous robots, we can’t rely on the noble citizens of Philadelphia to beat it to a pulp.

My favorite
