I'm really going to miss Dan McQuade. Loved the guy. No one loved Philly more. Sweet, funny, smart, so much good energy. In our last text exchange, he was asking me for more details about runners getting attacked by wasps during a race :)
Rest in peace, buddy.

A lot of people will be (rightfully) pointing to @dhm.bsky.social’s work in @defector.com. But he had developed his voice way before that - from even before Philadelphia Will Do.
