It’s 1996 day on @wxpnfm.bsky.social. I’m in 9th grade, I just got my drivers license, and my biggest concern is writing a 5 paragraph essay on Jane Eyre. I’m gonna go get a slurpee and rent a movie from TLA video.

My phone rings: uh hey. So I have a question about Claude, but @anthropic.com doesn’t have a phone number, so I figured I’d try the Claude I do have a number for.

It could be worse…it’s not like we spent $50 million on a police HQ we didn’t use. billypenn.com/2022/04/06/p...
The city sunk $50 million into a West Philly police HQ, then walked away. How did that happen?
The Provident Mutual building has since been reimagined, and an elementary school is moving in this fall.

Due to an almost decade old deal, Philadelphia City Council faces a choice between paying $200 million now to buy the city's police HQ amid a bitter budget fight or pay double the rent in future years to an influential city landowner. www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
I have to rewatch this now. It’s wild the hold that a Shakespeare movie had on everyone
Seeing this movie around the same time your actually read Romeo and Juliet is a *very* specific generational calling card that I’m more than happy to carry

I used to work at a company whose primary service was called cloudcast. One day, a customer called support asking why it now says buttcast when he logs in. The resolution was “issue resolved by uninstalling cloud-to-butt”
I need an updated version of the classic "cloud to butt" browser extension that replaces "Github stars" with "Useless Internet points" I literally refuse to read and block anyone that claims "Github stars" are in anyway useful or meaningful in any way.
is @theverge.com going to make an “everything you need to know about the AI encyclical in 18 minutes” video because this is long
Happy Dave Brubeck day to you and yours. Phew. Almost missed this one.

The moral panic is the lazy response. It treats every teenager as presumptively damaged by the same thing, ignores what teenagers actually report about their own experiences, and papers over the reality that the kids who need help will still need help after social media is regulated into oblivion
Social media is ruining society like D&D, rock n' roll, rap, MTV, etc., did‼️ Reality check: the data is 'not a signal of a generation-defining mental health catastrophe. That’s barely distinguishable from a rounding error.' - @masnick.com cc @enbrown.bsky.social www.techdirt.com/2026/04/21/t...
This is a fun article. I grew up a few minutes away from it, and I honestly didn’t realize it isn’t actually called City Line Ave until like 3 years ago.
ICYMI over the weekend, here's my latest deep dive into Philly culture. www.inquirer.com/columnists/p...
“Tim Heidecker is now the creative director of Infowars” is one of those sentences I’d like to go back in time and walk around saying to people
Same thing in Philly with cheesesteaks. People always ask where the best cheesesteak is. Just go to whatever corner store is closest. They’re all good, and you can also get plantain chips, a phone charger, and a swisher.
Some Jersey diners are “famous” or are written up as “best diners in Jersey” and have lines to get in. Don’t go to those. Those are trash. Just go to any random diner that happens to be close to you. That’s the best diner.

@governor.pa.gov can we file an injunction to force Chicago to change all the neighborhood names they stole from us
In my head, before checking, “This must be the Thorndale stop.” ☑️☑️☑️
Millennials being parents is funny because one day you open up Apple Music and discover Yellowcard collaborated with Blippi
My “we operate under US law” poster has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my poster
not sure what is more odd: that it apparently didn't crack the top three, or that it is being advertised on the DC metro
@reckless.bsky.social the CEO of Cisco really said robotics will be a driver for 6G and you didn’t say anything about robotic grape surgery. You are a consummate professional.
I’ve been doing this for a while in Firefox, and it’s absolutely the way to go. Vertical tabs, tab groups, and the multi-account containers extension has helped me keep track of a million tabs I have open
Google’s Chrome just shipped a better browser layout: vertical tabs. Instead of having all your tabs in a row across the top of your browser, you can now right-click on the tab bar and select “Show Tabs Vertically” to have them appear in a sidebar instead. www.theverge.com/tech/907998/...
Me: every time I go to my parents house every tv is on and they have music playing, it’s such chaos Also Me: why can’t I listen to a podcast and music at the same time this is bullshit
