The guy sitting next to me in the airport lounge has a very new iPad that he’s using as a laptop (keyboard, mouse, etc) and also a stack of spreadsheets printed out of paper. The universe contains multitudes.

People outside are PA are welcome to continue to believe that Delaware is fake, but if you’re looking for a trip, there’s a Residence Inn right on the boardwalk in Bethany Beach. It’s lowkey one of the best places to spend a few points for beachfront.

UNC had a TD to take the lead but the ball was knocked loose before the receiver got in and ends up as a touchback

I really hope the person who invented the Crunchwrap got their very deserved rewards.

She's being helped up and off the field, keeping one leg off the ground. We DO NOT like this.

This weekend an NWSL team is honoring a beloved retired player, 2 years after her retirement and the first game honoring her.
Why? I don’t know but I do know that it’s happening on her ex-wife’s b-day.
Wait didn’t her ex-wife also play for that team? YEP

Pretty sure 90% of it goes back to that formative “he just leans so well” moment from My So-Called Life

Had to go to Philly for a few things this afternoon which means I got to see one of my favorite PA landmarks:
On 222S right after you get off the turnpike there’s a combo Sheetz/Denture & Braces store/Urgent Care…. And I think that’s beautiful.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If it wouldn’t be a good story if you told it in chronological order with a single narrator, it cannot be made a good story by jumping around in time and switching narrators every chapter

We are entirely serious here, by the way, as they’re going to close my campus and six others while one year of his salary could fund the to-be-killed campuses for several years. His payout could operate every single Commonwealth Campus for years.

Ash C @ash12.bsky.social · 18d

Fire Franklin for cause and use his salary to keep the Commonwealth campuses open.

I’m not sure how it looked but it was a driving and cold rain for like the whole game. Just in the stands we were cold and had pruning fingers by half. I’m so glad no one got hurt. And will take the point.

ESPN literally had to blur the screen when Cathy was giving the championship trophy because a ton of fans were flipping Cathy off in addition to the boos.

Nancy Armour @nrarmour.bsky.social · 12d

Cathy can’t be heard above the boos in the arena, both when she gives Aces the trophy and A’ja her MVP award

What a chorus of boos. Amazing job Phoenix.

Apparently they were saying "No big deal, we're gonna win the next 16 and then take the Finals in a sweep." What an absolutely mind-boggling turnaround. #WNBA

I want a mic on this conversation. What the hell are your stars and head coach saying to each other in the fourth quarter of this one? #WNBA

That’s where I am. Need to be able to feel like I’ve seen/done something in the state. Like if I met someone from the state they’d feel like I’d been to the state when I described it.

Just a gal having a touch of a nervous breakdown in my hometown club: there are so many people here I haven’t seen in like 10 years and so many of them look like they’ve gone through an aging filter, and … I don’t look that much older do I?

Ash C @ash12.bsky.social · 13d

I did AK when I did the Great River Road but that’s one I want to do again & go to the Ozarks. MN also the Great River Road but also time in MSP. Would recommend MSP and also the Mississippi headwaters. The bombing memorial in OKC is one of the most powerful places I’ve been.
Now I want a roadtrip!

Teddy Roosevelt NP will be a little underwhelming compared to Badlands NP (there’s more vegetation so it’s less of that starkness of Badlands) also it’s harder to get to. Instead I’d recommend Fargo it’s a nice college town, good vibes, cute little shops, and a good Jewish deli.
