It’s the Playoffs. Let Gritty have a gun.

I mean, Gritty threatened Iceburgh on day one.

I've come to the conclusion over many years of watching Philly sports fan that you could very likely get away with preforming human sacrifice on a jumbotron so long as you were ripping out the beating heart of an opposing team's mascot.

I have major machine jealousy.

If you're of the generation that used "your mom buys yah clothes at Buildin' 19" as a playground insult...buy this!

Every week I searched the circular margins for the puntastic jokes in minuscule type.

I pray the "Dress your baby like a gangsta" ad for tiny tracksuits is included.

Building 19 used cheap jokes to sell cheap crap. These two guys think it was art. - The Boston Globe Building 19? Well, it was a store that sold things. There's a word to describe those things, but we can’t print it here. Let’s just say it rhymes with wit, which is how they sold it.

This story has it all: Defunct New England retail institutions, coffee table books, Gen X social memory, a charming elderly curmudgeon, advertising history, and consumer behavior.

I hit that pre-order button so quickly.

@thisismari.at This is destroying your brand equity.

And for @thisismari.at: Go TemplePaws!

Of course I bought the tote.

I am super emotional about this.

Spending any time in the misinfo trenches can break you, but sometimes there is a win. It’s nice to feel some optimism.

Mocking them will hasten their defeat.

And I have the mountains of student loan debt to prove it! 🫤

I love toddlers’ random emotional support objects. I also love when they carry around a random cracker or carrot stick for hours. It’s gross but hilarious.

I was speculating, not about him particularly, but about how that type of phrasing is not questioned enough and considered “neutral.”

He probably wouldn’t think twice about using language like “police involved shooting” or any other euphemism that protects those in power.

The dollar box!

My parents wouldn’t let me see REM on the Green tour because I would be going with the “bad kids.”

I showed them by moving to Athens, GA for grad school.

Lolla ‘91 was my first show, but I also was at Roseland and could have gone to the Webster Hall Downward Spiral secret show, but in the world before cell phones, it was a comedy of communication errors. (Yup, still upset about it 3 decades later)

Did see them with Bowie in ‘95, though.

If you can’t know what to order for coffee, you need way more help than whatever autocomplete garbage ChatGPT can provide.

“If you admit that you were wrong, we’ll admit that we’re right”

I’m the daughter of a hippie/lazy Methodist and a lapsed Catholic. They did the “we’ll support her however she decides” because they were too hungover to take me to Sunday School.

“Random crystals in your ear keep you balanced” sounds like some woo bs, but it’s real!

I had to do vestibular therapy a few years back and it was wild.

Yeah, for me it was “why do all my friends go somewhere on Tuesday”?

I feel my weird Massachusetts Catholicism FOMO coming back.

Real “why am I the only kid not going to CCD” vibes

Please someone tell me they’ve seen this week’s Will Trent.

I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ELEVATOR SCENE.

@theferocity.bsky.social, I pray you liveskeet this one.

And who made those apocalyptic threats, eh?

My gallows humor on this is “Whatever, suckers. I don’t have a thyroid. Just give me the damn superpowers already.”

I am incredibly upset I am not able to snug my cats right now.
