Sings too loud, too often - but on key.

Remembers the past but still appears doomed to repeat it.
There has been an extra spasm of darkness as we start the festival of light tonight. Yet we must still try to bring light to the darkness.

After weeks of the offense playing way too cautious, they lose tonight playing far too reckless. Good night Birds nation. 🦅

Law schools need to start offering courses in Calvinball, or perhaps a Calvinball clinic.

Sounds about right. Got a listening age of 30 though which is quite amusing.

Maxey with 54 in the Iverson jerseys is a lot of fun.

When a serial cooperator is faced with a serial defector in the prisoner's dilemma, one needs to defect a few times to see if the other side can be brought back around to cooperating at least sometimes. There are dangers to mutual serial defection, but otherwise you just always lose.
one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)
Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Court strikes down Texas GOP gerrymander
*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map
*Big Dem win in Virginia could give Ds more seats

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

8-2 with a plus 33 should make you nervous but the defense at full strength looks dominant. #GoBirds.

Love how Eagles fans aren’t even trying to defend that call. But great game by the defense.

Go Birds!

Today was a very good day, except for the Sixers painfully ruining Maxey’s birthday.

Voted this morning. Lots of Virginians were joining me. I will treasure this right for as long as I have it.

Be honest Phillies fans, some of you missed the Seranthony Dominguez experience.

VJ calmly escapes pressure to find Maxey for a 3 to nearly seal it. The future is bright.

Saquon! Hope that’s turning the corner.

Play the song. It’s nice to have multiple guards who can win you a game.

Every time the broadcast shows an unhappy Charles Lee, I can’t help but sing “I’m a head coach, whee!”

However this ends, VJ is hope in a bottle.

After last season, I will happily return to the Sixers being alternatively spectacular and disappointing. Just need a taste of vintage Joel and the delightful young guards to be healthy. #Sixers

My heart goes out to Mariners fans. Unlike 32 years ago, will be pulling for the Blue Jays in the World Series.

Pretty sure the Founders thought Charles I creatively raising funds without having to share power with Parliament was a bad idea.

If we had to bring back one thing from the Gilded Age, I would have gone with crazy facial hair as opposed to Supreme Court jurisprudence gutting enforcement of 14th and 15th amendments.

Thankful the hostages are finally home. The prospects of a lasting peace seem dim in this moment, but they are still brighter today than yesterday.
