We joined @transit4philly.bsky.social and @ruephilacouncil.bsky.social at City Hall yesterday in support of making student SEPTA passes work 24/7, year-round.
These cards don’t work nights, weekends and summers. That’s a policy choice — and it can be a different one.
And they say this place doesn't have the juice!
Via Worcester is in fact insane, even with I-84 extant. Inland Hartford-Providence outside the city limits of those two cities is Midwest-grade easy, say I, the native Midwesterner.
The real problem is that the US 6 freeway is too curved and in slightly the wrong place to be ripped out and reused.
...which is why I've been yelling at you for years to revisit the math of routing HSR via Hartford and relegating the NHV-NLC-PVD Shore line to stopping services.
....oh NO.
Say that any louder, and they're going to revoke your visa.
Central Canada is where 60% of the people live, and there's historical usage to back it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central...
The Democratic party is at its core an EPP party, with sizable and loud S&D and ALDE wings.
Jesus fucking CHRIST, Palmer.
...Kurt Cobain was an egg.
Log on to this place at 2:00am ET, and your feed can be wall-to-wall Seattle and British Columbia, if you follow enough of the right people.
I have a sleep disorder that means I'm up at random hours, so I have years of direct experience.
Peak East Coast posting time is during daylight, ET. Peak West Coast posting time is well into the evening, PT. There's a cultural difference that makes the gap more than the expected three hours.
Victoria Claflin Woodhull and her sister, Tennessee Claflin, were running a long con on Cornelius Vanderbilt which he never twigged to. They also blackmailed their brokerage clients using information gathered from their business as mediums. They also did insider trading, of course.
Open Secrets is a right-wing psyop to convince people that the government can’t be trusted and every candidate is corrupt.
There’s no other way I can explain the insane decision to represent donations from an Amazon driver as donations “from Amazon”
Here in Philadelphia, Uber, your friendly neighborhood monopolist, is blanketing the city with ads to stop a rideshare tax that would prevent cuts to 340 School District of Philadelphia teachers, reading and math specialists, counselors, and more.

Insurance really is the closest thing we have to the spacing guild in dune. Group of weirdos that makes the entire modern world possible
Median Fifth District voter.
Would such a change require enabling legislation from City Council, or could it be done as a private contract between SEPTA, the City, and the stadium owners?
One thing the news about free subway rides back from World Cup games has sharpened: instead of getting ad hoc sponsorships for every event, can we get the Phillies/Eagles/Sixers/Flyers to collect a SEPTA surcharge with each ticket sold, for every big event hosted at the Sports Complex?
If current transit prices hold, it will be ~4x less expensive to travel from NYC to Lincoln Financial Field than it would be to travel from NYC to MetLife Stadium.
From transit to tailgating to the fan fest, Philadelphia’s World Cup setup has become the envy of fans elsewhere — especially in New York and Boston.
How has the city they love to hate pulled it off?
A look behind the curtain:

I think the real scandal that should have been covered is why Philly is only getting 6 games and Dallas with zero regular transit getting 9???
An accurate, perhaps understated, depiction of the "Knock" spell in D&D.
Poll: Is your baseball team good rn?
Like for no. Repost for no. Reply for no.
A step away from asking the Russians to investigate their own influence operations in the US. The guiding principle of Trump policy is that Russian ops are good because they support him personally. The guiding principle of Russian policy is that Trump is good because he wrecks the US & helps Russia.
i can only assume @quantian.bsky.social is too much of a coward to post this here on bsky so i will do it for him

They won't, but the next time you encounter one in the wild, you have permission to appropriate my culture and huck a D-cell at their head as hard as you can.
You know how "may their memory be a blessing" is a traditional Jewish phrase of condolence? "May their name and memory be erased" is the also-traditional equal and opposite sentiment.
Hit up Warren Buffet to mount a BNSF-themed exhibit?
This framing is wrong. It wasn’t these guys, who were already rich, warm, and well fed, who most stood to benefit from sanctions relief. It was the Syrian people. And Republicans held their future hostage until congressmen got free dinners and vacations and dangled a golf course in front of Trump.
