there’s a whole younger generation of Philly sports fans experiencing the ole Philly sports doom cycle right now. Just gotta laugh through the tears.

Went on a major deep dive into the music catalog of Chuck Prophet this weekend. Wasn’t really all that familiar with his work and caliber of songwriting, but am now fully convinced he’s the California Mark Knopfler.

The idea that Donnie isn’t real has been floating around the Internet for a while. The gist is that the ill-fated Donnie is just a figment of Walter Sobchak’s imagination...

The culture war is a lost cause—noble, but futile to expect compassion or dialogue in this climate. The best way to fight brain rot is with brain rot (it’s a vibe), alongside clear, actionable strategies for the left to help people build real wealth and regain power—w/o resorting to Pelosism.
