My family tailgated Harry Kalas’ viewing at Citizens Bank Park. We were not the only ones.

[Tyler Perry Mason @TiaNoTamara1]

Is Philly the only city that’s allowing tailgating for the World Cup 😭 yall really bullied FIFA?!?! Lmao

[jake rhodes @jakebrodes]

Go to cheap bar w a couple friends or alone who fuckin cares. Load up on whiskey or whatever the fuck smoke a few cigarettes and then the next day go to the gym and throw up in the locker room or parking lot. Also all this sobriety and barely anyone is actually “high performing”

I think the issue is nobody has seen any sign of snow removal in about 24 hours. I walked all over the city and didn’t see a single plow today. Seems like the operation just wound down

[PHL Office of Clean and Green Initiatives @phl_cgoffice]

Public Service Announcement!

Director Williams addresses some of the residents current concerns about snow removal operations.

[Mark @MarkKasten]

While @PhillyMayor’s apparently halting of snow removal doesn’t help, the school district could simply reopen schools.

[Philadelphia Schools @PHLschools]

All School District of Philadelphia schools and offices will operate virtually tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Read more: https://t.co/7lxx809UgN. #PHLed

I have walked all over the city and have not laid eyes on a plow since Sunday morning. @PhillyMayor this is disgraceful.

[Philadelphia OEM @PhilaOEM]

From the Department of Streets: Road closures around City Hall in effect now through overnight hours to remove tons of snow from Center City. Penn Square and nearby blocks will be fully closed to ensure safety of crews and traveling public. Read more: https://t.co/CGvC071evW

@alz_zyd_ It is more complicated than that. Go to D.C. or Pittsburgh and try to get a great Italian hoagie on a Sunday. It’s impossible. Quality sandwiches are limited to Philadelphia, New York, and a few other cities where bread can be made. I great up in NJ thinking it was normal.

This street cleaning project is giving daylight-brightness streetlights a run for their money as dumbest city initiative.

Kicking up a 100-yard cloud of dust at 8:30am in front of an elementary school. @StreetsPhila

[Mark @MarkKasten]

Absurd that this street is ever open to traffic.

[PhillyChitChat @HughE_Dillon]

Close down 1500 block of Sansom Street @PhillyPolice @PhiladelphiaGov it’s packed at 11:15pm

Someone who says I’m against abortion but in favor of the death penalty is not pro life.

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

Pope Leo XIV weighs in on Cardinal Cupich’s decision to honor pro-abortion Sen Dick Durbin, saying: “I think that is very important to look at the overall work that this Senator has done during, if I'm not mistaken, 40 years of service in the United States Senate. 

I understand the difficulty and the tensions but I think as I myself has spoken to pass, it’s important to look at many issues that are related to what is the teaching of the Church. Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty, is not really pro-life. So someone who says that I'm against abortion but I'm agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who in are the United States I don't know if that's pro-life; so they're very complex issues. I don't know if anyone has all the truth on them, but I would ask first and foremost that there'd be greater respect for one another, and that we search together both as human beings and that case is American citizens or citizens of the state of Illinois, as well as Catholics to say we need to, you know, really look closely at all of these ethical issues and to find the way forward as Church. Church teaching on each one of those issues is very clear. Thank you.”

Hey, my man, do you know what’s going on?

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Look, I know there’s a lot of economic uncertainty coming out of Washington right now.

But here in PA, whether you’re a senior, parent, or small business owner — we’re laser-focused on cutting costs and putting more money back in your pocket.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Can anyone pin-point the exact moment where everything in society just got substantially worse?

[Mark @MarkKasten]

@TMacPhils @Phillies @SportsRadioWIP Are you “off” when there is a nationally broadcast game or is the expectation from NBC Sports that you are watching/at the ballpark?

[James Medlock @jdcmedlock]

They're literally doing the meme

[Mark @MarkKasten]

@coryfromphilly The issue is they just aren’t doing it. My street has gotten the second pickup at most half the time. Half the time it was a full day late or more. So the trash sits out an extra day or an extra two days apart much more litter. And you get a ticket for putting it out “early.”

[Mark @MarkKasten]

This probably hits so hard if you’re dumb

[C3 @C_3C_3]

The average annual salary for a government employee is $127,000 per year.

The average annual salary for a private sector employee is $66,000 per year.

The private sector employee that makes 1/2 the money pays the salary of the government employee.

Think about that…

[Mark @MarkKasten]

Flight cancelled by @Delta. Not rebooked. Email said refund automatic. Never arrives. Portal says refund has been made (it hasn’t). Speak to operator who tells me I have a credit. Have to speak to operator to get refund changed from credit to money. Clear attempt to scam.
