This administration is both shocking and predictable in the most fucked up way.

“What I take offense to is not someone's initial mispronunciation of my name. What I take offense to is the repeated intentional mispronunciation, like Andrew Cuomo.”

Zohran Mamdani explains to Mehdi Hasan the importance behind pronouncing someone’s name correctly.

Being raised on Merrill Reese and Harry Kalas coming through my radio spoiled me. All us Philly kids were spoiled having two goats like that.

Watching the lollapalooza documentary and am blown away that the issues with the administration/hierarchy continues but with a different spin.
it's all the fucking same.

Jodie Shawback @jodieshawback.bsky.social · 21d

I seem to be either terrified and informed OR uninformed and terrified about what I don't know. I see the "I don't watch the news" people and worry about when they will start paying attention. There is only one group that is doing better under this administration, and it is this administration.

The thing about you, Tim and your band of merry men, is the ability to make one want to learn about things that an individual has never heard about.

Located next to a new walking path along the Delaware River at Spring Garden Street, “River Soundings” by Haddad / Drugan reflect facts and histories about the Delaware in Philly. It’s a seriously impressive work of public art that has been thoroughly considered for viewing in daylight and at night!

OK Go covered The La’s There She Goes and played an entire song on handbells in addition to shooting off 100 pounds of confetti and playing every song you would pick when making an OK Go setlist, what else do you want?

ConcertsHub @concertshub.bsky.social · Jun 1

If you don't want to watch a concert where they went through 100 lbs of confetti then IDK what to tell you, you probably hate fun. Do you hate fun or are you gonna watch the concert where they went through 100 lbs of confetti?
