this is one of those songs I think about once a year and it is I think an ultimate 1990s "you had to be there" track...I could explain the context of Michael Stipe's rap but that only goes so far youtu.be/CzxeqD6_dCw?...

that Bluestockings announcement is a real bummer. Making sure to blame your own members for not reaching a consensus on the way out is certainly a choice bluestockings.com

back in the old Tits and Sass blog days we had a whole category for strip club tax evasion stories, but this one is in a class of its own, involving the execs of a publicly traded company and a NY state auditor www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/n...

this guy is going to single-handedly depress turnout in Philadelphia so much that PA gets a Republican governor next year. One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen a governor do, and I'm from Texas. www.pa.gov/governor/new...

A screenshot of a post by The Alamo that reads "We at the Alamo are saddened to hear of the passing of legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne. His relationship with the Alamo was marked initially by a deeply disrespectful incident in 1982.
This act profoundly and rightfully upset many who hold this site sacred."

Clone and back up your current hard drive for the archives, and move things over on an as-needed basis.

Congrats to Don's Auto, the most honest inspection you can get in Philly. When other shops told me they "couldn't" inspect my 1992 car, Don told me they were just being lazy and he got me fixed right up!! Great place to get your brakes done, too.

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?

Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.

Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

Philly, we're showing a Texas dirtbag classic to raise funds for flood relief and be together in our grief. I know several families who will never be the same, and I'm not alone in this city. Come out Sunday night to be together, and please share. cinemaphilly.com/screening/th...
