SEPTA's 260 transit cops catch a total of ~24 fare evaders and ~6.5 smokers a day. They call this "enforcement" 🙃

If SEPTA riders want to fight antisocial behavior, the first step is demanding transparency on what the hell SEPTA's 260 police actually *do* all day.

Attention: for all you housing lovers along the Northeast Corridor - Baltimore’s City Council just passed single-stair reform AND repealed residential parking minimums AND reduced setback requirements one-after-another this evening

Chicken sandwich is good. I’d never get a burger at Wendy’s.

It’s all perform because Donnie doesn’t mean what he says. Donnie will talk a big game but won’t pull funding.

China expands Argentina soybean buying to 20 cargoes, traders say Chinese importers kept up a hectic pace of Argentine soybean purchases after the South American supplier's move to abolish export taxes temporarily made its prices competitive, traders said on Wednesday.

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent.

What are customer demographics? Upscale malls and strip malls are okay. Average malls are dead.

Was it eating cat food or was it soon to be cat food or both?

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung: “I look forward to your meeting with the chairman Kim Jong-un and construction of a Trump Tower in North Korea and playing golf at that place.”

Donald Trump fulfills a dream role: Big city mayor The president’s showy effort to “clean up” D.C. crime, street lights and even the Kennedy Center has ruffled city leaders who say he has overstepped his authority.

Wonder how we got into this mess? It’s stories like these that normalize authoritarianism with “fun” takes on Trump taking on “dream” roles. Major media fail.

This is easy to figure out. Look at market rents for comparable units and look at the rent level at the MIN required AMI. If the latter is lower, then yes, the MIN units are not financially feasible.

Sarah holds up a brightly colored eel calendar with a moray, ribbon eel, splendid garden eels, and American and European eels, in front of some plants on the sidewalk

Last year we sold 5x more advent calendars than we have this August. Advent calendars are the biggest thing that keep the lights on at Skype a Scientist so this makes me a bit nervous!

These calendars are bright and cute and are full of really fun information about eels!

If you are wondering how we got to where we are..

“In head-to-head competition―the same business in the same place and time, facing the same threats―Trump’s casinos performed worse on average than other Atlantic City casinos at creating sustainable jobs. His casinos were not the ‘best’ and not even average. They were the worst.”

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.”

It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

Los Angeles, home to the least affordable housing in the United States and the largest homeless population in the Western Hemisphere, will vote to formally oppose state legislation that would make it easier to build apartments near mass transit on Tuesday. This city should be disincorporated.

I do think that here is something to be said for the negative impact of unemployment and underemployment but teaching people (not just men) how to network and knock on doors is worthwhile. And telling them to sign up for yoga classes is worthwhile.

Just want to note that opposing Safe Injection sites in Kensington is bad policy because Kensington Avenue is essentially an unsafe injection site… and it’s open to the public and disgusting. Bathrooms, medical staff and support staff out of the public view would be a massive improvement.

Would be nice if they replaced this mural instead of repainting it.

Important message but a great excuse to wear pink.
