Scotland/England/Ireland all kind of sucked shit in the early 1900's I guess
Genuinely curious: If your family is American, what brought them here?
Mine: religious nuttery & primogeniture

It's important to remember that Punxsy Phil is an all powerful weather god and the process of overthrowing him needs to be handled with care lest he trap us all in a time loop

If Punxsutawney Phil doesn't give the correct prediction this morning I am going to drain the oceans to find and kill him

The President is a member of a world-historic pedophile ring, anything short of attempting to remove him from office reads as defense or even endorsement of pedophilia
This is the vice chair of the Democrat caucus straight up saying that even if Dems win the midterms, they might not impeach Trump.

The last thing @dhm.bsky.social sent me this past fall was video of a little league ump getting hit in the groin 3 times. This one’s for you Dan, thanks for always thinking of me.

I pulled these up from the old site and I just hope Dan was able to get his selfie with underdog lady. He really did just love this region and all of its absurdity.

Last thing about Dan

In a world filled with AI slop & homogenized writing, writers like Dan- an original voice with an infectious curiosity- are needed more than ever

A computer could try for a trillion years to explain in a novel what Dan might capture with one picture or post

You can’t fake it

I only had a couple small interactions with Dan, but he once said seeing his kid’s daycare teacher wearing a Ricky Watters jersey over her Muslim garb represented so much of what he loved Philadelphia & he truly meant it.

This is the Philadelphia App and Dan *was* Philadelphia. Nobody else captured the weirdness (solemn to silly) of this region and its culture with such affection and respect. Everyone wear your stupidest Wildwood boardwalk tee in his honor. Be good, buddy.

“Philly Twitter” is a thing because of Dan McQuade.

Dan McQuade was one of the sweetest people i've ever interacted with on social media. This one stinks so much man.

Rocky Lost
Columnist Inga Saffron wants Philly to leave the Rocky statue where it is.

“Allowing the old movie prop to dominate the Parkway’s iconic vista is simply the latest in a series of decisions that have privatized the Art Museum’s gorgeous, landscaped grounds,” she writes.
Yo, Philly! There’s no need to move the Rocky statue

I hope Admiral Ed Baldwin never dies. Joel Kinnaman getting progressively more insane looking is the best bit in TV
My god, look at Joel Kinnaman's old man makeup for the upcoming fifth season of For All Mankind:
