jeffw, to phillies in Rhys Hoskins came home and stole the show

Fuck it, I don’t think I need to say anything else about these past couple games. Rhys is here

TheDeepState, to philadelphia in New Philadelphia task force studies reparations for Black residents

Pay them now!

jeffw,

I’m honestly not sure cities should be on the hook though. I do support reparations but I’m not sure if I support local efforts

NOT_RICK, to philadelphia in US House committee holds Philly field hearing on crime
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

While the DA was not invited to the hearing, some of the Republicans criticized him for not coming anyway

I hate politics

jeffw,

It’s also funny because Krasner held a news conference last week about how much crime has decreased. I guess it was probably to preempt this

Crackhappy, to philadelphia in Move over, July 4: Philly’s planning a new celebration on the real independence day
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

I always found it surprising that so few know that July 2 is the real independence day.

prettybunnys,

It wasn’t legally official until the 4th which is why that’s the day.

jeffw,

Juneteenth is a holiday even though slavery officially ended before then

prettybunnys,

The entire purpose of Juneteenth is because of that disparity.

This is a weird comparison my dude.

Philly wanting to celebrate the day the declaration was approved in a closed session makes sense, but the 4th has been the day since the beginning. It’s when it was approved and made official.

NOT_RICK, to phillies in Don’t look now, but the red-hot Phillies are suddenly dominating
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

And naturally now they’re looking sloppy as hell.

jeffw,

Eh, it was one game.

Maybe if they just let Marsh try to bat against lefties and kept Clemens on 1st it would’ve been a less terrible game.

Viking_Hippie, to philadelphia in Eclipse reaction at Philadelphia Zoo, animals underwhelmed

8-year-old Kai from Easton predicted

Damn, that hiring freeze is really starting to take its toll…

Viking_Hippie, to philadelphia in Eclipse reaction at Philadelphia Zoo, animals underwhelmed

I I would like to formally request more underwhelmed animal news.

IsThisAnAI, to philadelphia in Eclipse reaction at Philadelphia Zoo, animals underwhelmed

It wasn’t even a full eclipse there.

I mean, why wouldn’t they be? They’re most likely used to drops in temperature when the weather clouds over, so I’m not surprised they barely registered a solar eclipse.

jeffw, (edited ) to phillies in It’s getting to be crunch time in Clearwater

I was lucky enough to be close enough to Clearwater to catch a game this year (first time ever seeing a Spring training game!) and it was a fun time. Wheeler looked great, but nobody else really shone brightly.

I’m very optimistic about Rojas’ future and I hope they don’t send him down. I’m even warming a bit on Jake Cave. Merrifield is an interesting addition, but I’m skeptical of his age. Regardless, not having Schwarber in the field should put them in a good spot.

argo_yamato, to phillies in Rhys Hoskins's likely departure means end of an era for Phillies

Sad to see him (probably) leave but not sure where he would play if he stayed. Was surprised when the article mentioned he came up in August 2017, seems like he had been on the team much longer than that.

jeffw,

Yeah, it’s sad, but I personally like the way the outfield looks without Schwarber and Harper. So, it’s either Schwarber or Hoskins as DH and Hoskins is the one in free agency

jordanlund, to politics in How the once-great SS United States ended up docked across from Ikea for 27 years

Interesting article, unfortunately it’s not politics. Removing under rule 2, nothing personal.

Fits for the US news communities!

robdor, to politics in How the once-great SS United States ended up docked across from Ikea for 27 years

Tl;Dr the crew just really really liked the meatballs.

Fondots, to politics in How the once-great SS United States ended up docked across from Ikea for 27 years

Im from the Philly area, that ship has been docked in the same spot nearly my entire life, some of my earliest memories of the city, driving past on a field trip or whatever, include seeing it and thinking something like “what a cool ship, I wonder what its story is”

It’s a real shame that after decades of trying no one has found any good use for it. I’m not exactly optimistic at this point, but I’d really love for it to somehow remain in Philly and be put to some kind of use, ideally as a museum, but I’d even accept condos, office space, whatever, as far as I’m concerned it’s as much of a Philly landmark at this point as the art museum, city hall, the liberty bell, etc.
