    Some major professional news! The Will Bunch Newsletter launches this month. I'm so excited: It mixes the type of work I do in the Inquirer with the insanity of what I post here, plus even more from my unbuttoned mind I'd be so thrilled if you sign up

    That's 34 blown saves for the Phillies, tying the major-league record.

    What salmon are you buying? Do you believe the labels saying it is "all natural,” “sustainably sourced,” and “from Maine.” Court documents allege a huge provider put those labels on salmon that was from farms outside the US. It gets worse.

    Remember that fought HARD against the Child Tax Credit. Maybe give him a call and ask why he wants kids to go without winter boots while he hands our tax dollars to his billionaire pals (who probably already have winter boots...)

    With this month's , I bought clothes for our kids. They'll have boots for the winter, more than one pair of jeans that fit, & sneakers to play outside. These items are not typically in our budget. Receiving this payment permanently would be life changing for us.

    For a news org that seems to have spent thousands of hours in Ohio diners talking to Trump voters, the NYT still has literally no freakin' clue into why people hate them so much

    Forgot to attach the excerpt about the new trust and innovation team. "How do we, in this era of so much distrust in the media, show the rigor we use in preparing our report to sort of win people over?"

    Two 15 years olds from the same Chicago school shot and killed within a period of four hours. That was Tuesday and they're already forgotten. So I'm proposing a new city tourism slogan: "Chicago: Please excuse our violence. We certainly do!" My column:

    If crime is down, why is murder up -- by a lot? Forget the "muggings," corner drug wars of yesteryear. Today's shootings are too much rage, too many guns, and too few checks on bad behavior We need to redefine murder before we can solve it. My new column

    We need to “look more broadly at what can be done to reduce societal anger and the need for retribution” — and I couldn’t agree more. I think a piece of the puzzle is how we’ve come to normalize rage online, tbh. People who think it’s always healthy and righteous are wrong.

    We asked incarcerated people what might have prevented them from committing the crimes that landed them behind bars. Respondents said that affordable housing, a living wage, and mental health care would have made the most impact.

    When people are shooting at baby showers, HS football games and Pat's Steaks, America has a murder problem. That *crime* is down only shows this isn't economic, but all about rage..and too many guns Let's think differently about murder. My new column

    See what I did there. OK, go Phils -- but unless they make a miracle run and win the World Series with their 84-78 record then wholesale changes are needed

    It is normal in sports to hate *your team* that you root for as much as I hate the Phillies right now? Not "the beloved institution," but the wretched human beings (not you, Bryce) they've hired to wear their uniform. This feeling is getting hard to work around

    Nola is a curse on this franchise in every possible way. I pray they trade him in the off-season for some prospects, as the Phillies desperately need to rebuild their dreadful farm system and I don't care if that hurts them in 2022

    last time Aaron Nola allowed 6 earned runs in the first three innings of a game was 6/19/2021 at San Francisco when he allowed 6 earned runs in 2.1 IP

    A thoughtful piece on gun violence in America. It's a problem that's driven, in a major way, by disputes--on highways, at supermarkets, at social gatherings. In different times, these disputes may have ended with harsh words or fistfights. Now, too often, they end in death. /1
