Huey Lewis was cool in the 80s, but the by far the coolest thing he ever did was sing backup on Time After Time.

Stop 1 million gallons of radioactive waste being dumped into the Hudson River! https://t.co/tQnn84zf5q

@hissgldnmssr, I’m a big fan. Only after listening for years did I realize how I Need a Teacher is so great and yet somehow just one long love fest for the key of A ——.

@wxpnfm got a misheard lyric for you. My wife loves to make fun of me. For decades, since the 90s, I thought the Alanis song Ironic started with “An old man, turned and he ached” instead of “turned 98..” Somehow this went on until about a year or two.

The song works either way!

The bar for @Lowes is so low in NYC. Ordered a custom door in person a month ago. No clear way of accessing order info online. Called and was put on hold till disconnected. Went to the store, no update other than I’ll get an email. Cool, cool. Just like in the commercials…

BREAKING: In a social media post, Donald Trump says that he will be arrested Tuesday as a New York prosecutor is eyeing charges in a case examining hush money paid to women who alleged sexual encounters with the former president. https://t.co/Old36RnqQj

Help. My Dad thinks the news of pastina being discontinued was a hoax. He’s vehement about it.

Hope someone at @Carvana realizes the potential to disrupt the NEW car buying experience as well.

Carry on.

Cool part of #NYC culture: helping out-of-towners out on the subway, and even passing the role off to others to make sure visitors get where they need to get.

We did it! We rated the weather in NYC every single day of 2022. Ahead of our year in review post, we created an interactive chart. The data is public and you can access it and do whatever you wish with it here: https://t.co/1to08t8GkJ

It really is crazy that the feeling on Twitter right now is the feeling that Twitter will cease to be Twitter.

Global climate change from 1880 to 2021. This is what a planet in trouble looks like.

Finally, one close game was so distressing that afterwards one of my roommates fought back his emotions and had a realization. He confided in me and said, “You know, Mike, I don’t know why I watch and it gets to me this much. I realized I’m not even on the team.”

@PhillyInquirer heard someone was looking for Philly folks who aren’t sports fans. I went to SJU and lived with with three native PA/Philly friends as the lone NY’er transplant. I’m not a sports fan by any means. I just don’t bother snd my friends have long known this.

In 2005 when the Eagles were in the run up to the Super Bowl, it was tense in our Roxborough house every Sunday. The drama was almost too much. I would usually leave the house and skip most games that fall.
