Just a reminder that teams don't actually care about their cities (though some players do). They are businesses first and foremost. All you super fans are in an abusive relationship & are just being played.
A Sixers move to Camden lurked until the new South Philly arena deal was struck, as more details emerge
The Sixers’ 2031 deadline also mattered, as did TV money the Sixers will indirectly receive from Comcast Spectacor.

It really feels like having a baby has aged my body 10 to 15 years. Is this a normal experience for people, or am I just really inattentive to caring for my body?

Let me ask the mob: I make a lot of Spotify playlists. I just found out that one of the artists whose songs I've added to my fav playlists lives out & articulates life & faith in ways antithetical to myself. What to do? Remove his songs? Separate art from artist? Discuss.

Reading Exodus tonight, struck by 3:11-12. What's God's proof that He is with Moses & is the one behind all this?
Not the mystical voice.
Not the miracles.
But only AFTER deliverance & wilderness, having returned to where he started, utterly transformed.
Ain't that the truth.
