How do Philadelphians pronounce 'Passyunk'? It's complicated.

Really appreciate how their first reference is to the original Lenape version(s)

Are we all saying ‘Passyunk’ wrong?
The word Passyunk today is something of a defining Philadelphia word. We found five different pronunciations.

This is the most relatable thing Eric Adams ever did.
Because the Turkish Airline provided free travel benefits worth tens of thousands of dollars to ERIC ADAMS, the defendant, he flew the Turkish Airline even when doing so was otherwise inconvenient. For example, during the July and August 2017 trip, Adams's Partner was surprised to learn that ADAMS was in Turkey when she had understood him to be flying from New York to France. ADAMS responded, in a text message, "Transferring here. You know first stop is always instanbul [sic]." When Adams's Partner later inquired about planning a trip to Easter Island, Chile, ADAMS repeatedly asked her whether the Turkish Airline could be used for their flights, requiring her to call the Turkish Airline to confirm that they did not have routes between New York and Chile.

Wolf Spritzer goes.
Champagne, Mezcal, Aperol, Lemon Juice; two cups with the resulting cocktail, a Wolf Spritzer as invented by El Presidente in DC.

if you knew a guy who went to a giant public bathroom every day and rooted around in the stalls for turds, and proudly came out to show them to everyone, there's no way you'd believe him if he told you he didn't love shit. the same goes for people who stay on Twitter to quote-tweet the right wing

@techconnectify.bsky.social for the next microwave episode please

Unless you find that most mythical of microwave ovens: The Inverter-equipped Microwave.

Panasonic actually sells 'em. We have one. Rather than controlling power via timed on/off cycles, it reduces the power to the emitters in 10% increments. Truly!

Fisher-Price x Yellowjackets
A figure of a child in soccer uniform stands on the step of a pink and white toy airplane. A child’s arm reaches across the frame to manipulate the plane’s wing.
