I’m going to the Phillies game tomorrow and I would skip it but one of my best friends is visiting from dc and going to the game too. So might have to leave after the 4th inning and watch somewhere in center city

Holy shit
My god I am so stoked for the flyers game tonight. Hopefully that’s not a bad sign
Switched back to the straight bar for my light squat and my bicep feels completely normal. Slightly wider grip helped I think
Unfortunately after a month of using this thing, my left bicep no longer hurts after I squat
These two highlights perfectly summarize what is so fucked with MAHA. First statement, unobjectionable, I say this all the time. Instead of following it with the evidence-based 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, it is beef tallow, no seed oils, food dyes, shit that is bad or doesn’t matter. No beans
Not gonna discuss the other lifts but kinda crazy I have added 40lbs to my deadlift since that post
Welp now I’m doing a set of three with a back off set of three at 90%. Need to start caloriemaxxing to keep the line going up. #vegan
How is the trolley tunnel still closed after 10pm. Pathetic ass city
A white Vauxhall has smashed into a bollard which has saved pedestrians.
Yet ANOTHER pedestrian saved by your friends at the #WorldBollardAssociation
My god the qualifiers are doing Olympic work here
BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani is ending the Adams/Tisch-era policy of slapping cyclists and e-bike riders with criminal summonses for low-level traffic offenses. -- with @sophlebo.bsky.social nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/18/m...
the protein-added everything craze really gives the lie to the ostensible concern with ultra-processing since anything with a protein isolate added is a UPF. which is funny because the UPF part doesn't really matter but you probably don't need the extra protein in the first place.
I split two boards, then sawed out a bunch of legs that survived a hard sledgehammer hit before and after tenoning. It was very tough to split, but you can argue with the price or strength. Each red oak leg probably costs 5-6x as much
Wow had no idea! I got it from an outdoor but covered building supply place. Kiln dried but feels very wet and heavy. I’ll check the MC later, but I’m gonna wait weeks or months before using it for that reason. Will cross cut it to rough lengths after 1-2 weeks so it dries faster
One more question… I’m getting some yellow pine to build a sharpening bench with the same construction as your drill press stand. Have you had any issues with the cross grain between the top and the legs? I realized I might want to put the end grain facing front instead of the sides?
Every time I watch one of his project I learn something unique, even in that little workbench tray he just posted! How would you handle getting accurate ends on wide pieces like ~13” wide Dutch tool chest sides, or an 18” wide case? I usually only hear shooting board or table saw
Using it with the plane right on the benchtop? I got the fancy Veritas one, but you can’t argue with the simplicity and cleverness of Richard’s version, as is often the case. So glad he’s back to posting new videos
Polling comes out every year that shows 50% of Americans want to live in dense walkable neighborhoods, but 90% of all homes are in car sprawl.
We need to build not 5% more, not 50% more, but 500% more housing in walkable neighborhoods than we currently have just to meet demand.
Wearing shoes inside is insane
SAD UPDATE: I could have sworn that National Zoo extended trail bypass hours to 7pm after all the obvious blowback about how literally no one who works normal hours can commute home when they shut it down at 5pm, am I missing something 😫!?
Cc: @popville.bsky.social do you recall?
4th dovetails above and worst ones yet lol. If you are interested in more woodworking, Philadelphia Furniture Workshop is a extremely cool, and I find endless inspiration in the Stick Chair Book (free PDF) bsky.app/profile/bean...
Kelly that’s insane!!! I follow him on instagram and I was thinking no way my favorite flyers podcaster just cut better dovetails than me on her first try, must be someone else. Great job!!

Tippett had a few nice plays. Barkey had some good forechecks. Stunning difference compared to Michkov who doesn’t put any pressure on when he’s the F1
This is the problem with viewing energy through a capitalist-blind framework, without understanding the history of energy. In a growth economy, increases in any type of energy goes to more growth and increasing profit, not reducing GHG emissions
Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

I’ve seen you say that before, but why is that the case? Maybe those roads should be turned into grassy trams
