Philly Old School. Pretty sure this is Rick Oyola, but I haven't seen him in over 20 years.
ETA. No, I guess it's more like 30 years. Time goes fast.

#Philly native Leslie Odom Jr. dropping Hamilton references in the intro video for the Philadelphia 2026 All-Star Game is hilarious but also has me tearing up.
Cook the meat on a hot griddle or pan. As it cooks, chop it up with a spatula. If you like onions, cook them as well. When the meat is cooked, you lay on the cheese and top it all with the split roll. This way the meat steams the bread and the cheese melts into the meat. Perfection. Shove a long spatula under the whole thing, top with marinara and serve. No Kobe beef. No truffles. No green chilis.
Bread. Cheese. Meat. Sauce. Eat that fucker.
If you want an authentic Cheesesteak, here are the tricks of the trade. Good bread. Much better than you think. Can’t be too crunchy or too soft. Never cut all the way through. Shaved Rib-eye. Provolone cheese. Forget all that tourist cheese whiz bullshit. No American either. I don’t like onions on mine, but knock yourself out if that’s your thing. Marinara sauce. Don’t need a ton. Some might argue, don’t need any. But a little is nice.
Excited to see where Mo'Ne Davis winds up, and looking forward to this new league!
#Philly’s City Council rejected a plan to proactively inspect rentals for health hazards.
Even though research shows: relying on tenants to report unsafe housing doesn’t work, and leaves people at risk.
10am and my air conditioner is already struggling to keep up. Everyone sign out of your GenAI systems for the day, please.
Update: The NWS has issued a heat advisory until 8pm for the #Philly region, with heat indexes of up to 104F expected.

TIL the "mud" used on #MLB baseballs comes from the Delaware River and that Penn tested it in their materials science lab last year with an #NSF grant.

Wife's doing the tri in #Philly today and bringing home extra kids (nieces) for a week's worth of summer sleepover time this evening.
While sorting out the tracking (that I won't be paying attention to while outside doing tree work, so why) I noticed we actually have a bunch of people to root for! (A few random friends, a teacher, a BJJ partner, a baker, a candlestick maker...)
Kick ass ladies!
Before calling 911, consider alternatives, since dispatchers tend to have a bias for sending cops, even if one may not be necessary for the situation:
