Very excited to see @rudytheelder.bsky.social on Bluesky - huge fan of all his work. If you haven't read 'The Ware Tetralogy', you should! Also highly recommend 'Frek and the Elixir' to younger readers new to the sci-fi genre. Old school website here: www.rudyrucker.com

I have done deep dives on 7 of the 8 divisions so far that include strengths, weaknesses, predictions, and more! You can find them all here: www.theringer.com/creator/shei...

If you have Eagles preseason tickets that you are not using, email marketing@independencebigs.org. They will put them to good use and find a Philly kid/Big Brother or Big Sister who want to attend. Same goes for any tickets to any Philadelphia sporting event!

Wow. The Trump regime is now effectively telling Americans: don't read the actual agreement. A U.S. official says the MOU should be viewed as a vague "political document," and says "people shouldn't read too much into the language" when the text is released.

So what network is going to hire all the ex-60 minutes people and launch '3600 seconds'?

Especially today, in the face of immense loss and amid the rising tide of antisemitism, the Jewish light must shine brighter than ever. The world must stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and take a clear, unwavering stand against antisemitism.

Tierra Walker should still be alive. She asked for help. She asked if she should end her pregnancy to protect her health. Ninety doctors saw her, and not one offered her the lifesaving abortion care she needed.

A Lower Merion synagogue invited an Overbrook church to use its space for worship after a fire. What began as a logistical favor became a lasting cycle of interfaith support.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

It’s time to start talking about the Giants the way we talk about the Jets. This has been a decade-long disaster. (Messed up Dart’s draft round, but points still stand!). youtu.be/jeoedQimiBs?...

hi Bluesky! 🦋 i’ve been chosen as the new head of product here at Bluesky HQ! and i couldn’t be more excited to hack with this incredibly talented team on making this site better for everyone.

The truth: Anas Al-Sharif was a Hamas terrorist leader who disguised himself as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network. When will the international press stop taking Hamas at its word and start doing the most basic task of journalism — verifying facts?

Shlomi Ziv, whose courage in speaking out shines a light on the dark reality of Hamas’ brutality. His testimony exposes the hypocrisy of those who hide behind titles like “journalist” and “doctor” while participating in the inhumane captivity of innocent people.

Congratulations to @helenubinas.bsky.social on a great run @inquirer.com and the Philly Daily News, and moving on to a building a great, important foundation! www.inquirer.com/opinion/hele...
