you can sum up Philadelphia's infrastructure pretty tidily by just pointing out that this person didn't throw away their BIG HOLE sign because they knew they'd need it again
l: May 2024
r: March 2026
A streetcar rail and street paving bricks are visible alongside a bus lane on asphalt street in two potholes
some good streetcar rail action in the potholes today
I am flushed with pride that somebody featured in one of my Philly Phlush stories bought a high-quality print of the story from our website, got a nice frame for it, and hung it in their bathroom.
Folks, urine in luck because I will be taking all of your puns about this today. Pees and thank you.

It may seem ambitious to ask for individual patient data from clinical trials to be shared, anonymized, for use by other researchers.
But the history of medicine shows us that clinical trials have already undergone a series of transformations that once seemed equally bold:
"Under the existing tax code, an Upper West Side building with 16 apartments had an annual tax bill of $50,000 in 2017. After it was converted [into a single-family home] the levies dropped to just $12,000." 🤦

A week ago, the ACLU got DHS officials to admit on record that there would be an additional 407 agents throughout March on top of the 150 CBP agents we would normally have here.

I love that facade so much
Me standing inside an MBTA subway car wearing a black and grey jacket with a multicolor squiggle pattern that resembles the train seat fabric and a red zipper. I'm leaning against a pole and looking at the camera with a black KF94 mask on and a neutral expression.
Jacket laid out on train seats. The grey fabric is lighter than the train seat upholstery and the multicolored squiggles are smaller and more densely packed, but it looks similar enough to blend in. The jacket also has black panels and cuffs and red zippers and piping.
please don't phase out the old red line trains yet @mbta.com, I only just finished sewing my camouflage jacket

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday.
They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.
About 170,000 UK children are exposed to clinically significant levels of lead. Only about 250 of them will receive any intervention to reduce that exposure.

National media has moved on, but our neighbors are still sheltering in place, at risk of eviction and hungry.
I’ve heard of multiple white neighbors working extra side hustles (babysitting, dog sitting, consulting) to try to pay neighbors’ rent.
