LAST YEAR (7/28/25, to be exact), went to Wyoming Branch of the Philadelphia @freelibrary.bsky.social … somewhat grandiosely dubbed this Stage 1 of the Tour de FLP, ha… kept at it; here’s Stage 19 (yes, am going in reverse-alpha order for no reason)… IF you want to follow, check @phillynow on IG.
Ha—those are the gestures used by the rich guys trying to get out of paying sales tax at my bike shop.
Philly Bike Action is having meetings for Council Districts 2, 3, and 5 tonight. If you've been thinking about getting involved, now is a great time! bikeaction.org/events/
#tomsofmaine knows me only as a Consumer; that’s a drag, a small one, but still.
Um, is it “mute thread”? Not seeing “mute for all” ….
This is a stupid UberEats Bot with plastic bag taped to its face, in Philadelphia. @wkdu @unionleague @visitphilly
Taping a plastic bag to a job-stealing bot’s “face” is another tactic we have seen.
BIG YES!
Impeach and Remove this demented, vicious clown.

The President of the United States should be removed from office.
Would prefer just listening to them on the radio.
Graffiti on delivery bot and fridge.
EPSTEIN FILES Sharpied on old fridge.
Um, keeping a big chisel-point marker in my bag and writing stuff on trash and such whenever the oppty presents.
Um, won what?
@phillytechweek.bsky.social is coming up and am trying (not very hard) to figure out how to (politically) awake this big job fair. (Which headlined and fawned over Ghost Robotics—who “innovate” robo-dogs to hunt Palestinians)
NO KINGS • SAT MAR 28 • NOON • CITY HALL PHILADELPHIA
City Hall PHL • SAT • NOON
The work of John Fry, creator of campus commercescapes at Penn, Drexel and now Temple. Ugh.
About 2 Hour wait thru TSA at SJU Puerto Rico midday (3/24); have seen at least 10 ICE dopes, unmasked, in chatty clumps, draped with tac cosplay gear, doing abso nothing. One Fat ICE bro kept making working TSA staff squeeze past him, till he was finally directed into a corner.
Underrated that the era of neoliberal globalism characterized by fierce defense of intellectual property as rents, patents, and copyrights gave way so quickly to a new paradigm marked by the blithe plunder of all human creativity for LLM training data.
ICE AGENTS PRESENT in SJU Airport, Puerto Rico. Clumps of 2 to 5; doing F-all while cosplayed up with at least 10 pieces of gear plus weapon. Watched a hard-working TSA agent have to squeeze past one of these posers repeatedly before he finally got the big dope to move into a corner out of the way.
Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence.
The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society
Doonesbury (I think)
aptly showed this thinking in a cartoon showing a college exec on a flatbed truck yelling thru a bullhorn: “We need THREE History profs and ONE Humanities !!”
As others have noted; don’t confuse the movement with one man.

A guy in a tunnel/bike lane that heads to the PHILLY BIKE EXPO!
SAT (per our Day Job), we’re escorting a flocking bunch of folder bikes from @amtrak.com 30th Street Station to the @phillybikeexpo . A routine mission … we hope!

PILOT MARKER, SCRAP PLASTIC, ZIP TIES.
Cannot/will not take credit for the tabloid headline my pal Jeff suggested back then: A BUD AND A SHOT .
Called Sen. Fetterman’s Philly office and the depressed-sounding staffer didn’t write down my name and contact info (flubbed reading it back). Requested a response and stayed on till it was read back correctly. Morale is low down at Fetterman HQ.
Great. Now raise minimum wage and tackle wage theft,.
They bombed a girls’ school. Very advanced.
