The Phillies Guy from Baseball Card Stories’ face reveal. And wow, the dude is a musician and conductor! Wow, great to meet you, Stephen! He has a doctorate, so I have to call him Doctor Phillies Card Guy now, lol
Speaking of which, I love this song:
Amazing cover of “you learn” by one of his classes:
…
I love Mike’s collection and I so respect the process by which he finds the perfect card for his card wall.
…
Great Q and A by Chris Sewell as always:
And sorry I’ll never love soccer.
…
Violet Daze on YouTube had this to say today on her community tab: “I am no longer entertaining identities that do not serve me. I refuse to call myself anxious when peace is my true nature. I refuse to call myself rejected when I am naturally loved and prioritized. I refuse to call myself unlucky when reality continuously bends in my favor. I refuse to call myself powerless when my assumptions shape my world every single day.”
Actually, some good stuff there…
…
Oh boy Nicole Rudolph is cooking:
The nuclear family as we think of it today has never really worked…
…
Chris Getz may be the best GM in baseball. And 3 of their best guys were from the Garrett Crochet trade…
…
[And so begins the Olivia spam…]
This song is actually really good. As a commenter said, Robert Smith being her first collaborator is quite the flex.
Actually the album overall is pretty damn good. I’m impressed. She’s grown a lot as an artist.
…
This song is really good too! Good video too!
THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD! And the comments are saying what I’m thinking… this album is extremely refreshing in an age of AI slop… No kidding!

“And I have this thought
When I lay in bed at night
That I feel trapped inside my life
Is that a normal thing
To fight back the waves
Of a static lovers’ dread
I’m overwhelmed, I’m underfed
And yet I still cling”
“Cling to hope like snow on mountains
Careless words melt it away
I’m a penny in a fountain
Just waiting on my luck to change”
- Olivia Rodrigo, “begged”
This record may have to win a Grammy. “You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love” is going up against some good ones though, like Noah Kahan and Olivia Dean… and Life of a Showgirl is there too… but I think this may be the best one unless Gracie Abrams and Ariana Grande absolutely wreck everything in July. Or someone else I’m not thinking about. Which is very likely.
