As a straight guy who tries to be an ally, I think one of the reasons I'm so fervently supportive of gay people is that I grew up around a lot of openly gay people. So I see it as normal? I dunno, sex as trangression is kinda central to the whole thing here. Which I was aware of as a kid, nbd.

He's 7 years younger than I am. Am I Gen X now?

Was poking around maps of Operation Varsity, the airborne drop associated w/ crossing the Rhine at the end of WW2. As one does. The dropzones were around a little town called Hamminkeln. There's a restaurant there called the Thunderbike Roadhouse. Cultural victory:

No true Philadelphian would be smiling at a time like this. (Acting like tourists at the Liberty Bell is just a little way we have of dissociating our toubles away.)

I'm about 50 pages in, and my outstanding feeling is "this shit won the fucking PULITZER??"

Just take good at-bats!! (Bohm's was mostly good, until it wasn't.)

christ.

Norristown Represent!!! Thank you, Christian Walker.

Hooooo boy.

Phils????

Super.

Remembering Thierry Henri talking about how dudes smoked in the locker room when he was coming up in France. He was insisting he didn't think it was "unprofessional."

HELL of a play Sosa just made. Score please, Phils.

Have the Phils scored since Mamdani...

Especially a Dookie.

I feel like Maxey and VJ could be two peas in a pod? They're both really nice guys, play with gusto, with brightness snd optimism. Could be a fun partnership.

Trea, go to your room.

Seems like he's a nice kid. Really hopeful.

Phils, youse are not being fun.

Well then maybe you shouldn't have skipped your workout with the Sixers. ASSHOLE.

Yeah, it's totally inconsequential but I really like the vibe of the signage. It's cheerful, optimistic. Light. New, while feeling familiar. Like, if you wanted Wes Anderson to cook up some signage it might look like this.

He was no Antoine Walker.

LETS FUCKING GO BOYS THEY DIDNT FUCK IT UP

PLEASE!!

Okayyy, here we go. I'm really nervous. Don't fuck this up, Sixers.

We love the enthusiasm. Just oozing from them.

Offering up a prayer that the Phils and Sixers will behave themselves. Another Evan Turner/Shawn Bradley/Markelle and we're *really* fucked.

The pickup on a plinth reminds me of the time Madison Bumgarner won a pickup truck as World Series MVP, and it led to him, Erin Andrews, Bud Selig and Rikk Wilde creating the most wonderfully wwkward minute of television we'll ever see: youtu.be/vvxrWIKqdbo?...
