Did we just sacrifice Penn State, the Phillies and the Eagles to get Embiid a ring?

Dugan doesn't record any contributions until August 21st ($200), with an uptick on August 30th ($3,930).

Who attended the ~July 15th fundraiser for which "Catering by Marlo's" was paid- seems surprising that there are no contributions recorded around this date.

Since Primary Day (May 20th), Dugan has only spent $30k, of which $22k occurred before June 1 (and appears to be lagging primary expenditures).

It seems Dugan's general election strategy has been a Catered fundraiser on July 15th, and an event at a Wildwood Irish Pub

A map of Havertown, PA that shows there is 2,200 ft between the crosswalks on Eagle Rd between Darby Rd and Hillcrest Ave

If you wonder why Eagle Road in Havertown isn't a vibrant commercial corridor, it's because there is almost half a mile between crosswalks.

If Haverford Township wants to realize their new Comprehensive Plan, they need to start by working with PENNDOT to put in more crosswalks.

Officially: Due to differences in tire pressure and internal gauge readings, a driver could be going faster than their vehicle is indicating. A 11 mph buffer ensures that only those intentionally speeding are ticketed

Unofficially: DON'T HARSH THE VROOM VROOMs

Question for @dieworkwear.bsky.social - Does Richard Gilmore truly dress like old money, or is this character clothed by someone who doesn't actually grasp of elements of old money style?

What I don’t understand is that Farry, Picozzi and the other Senate R’s know that Pittman’s antics and not funding SEPTA are going to cost them the majority, right?

That would be the best outcome, the owner is not well-regarded in the neighborhood. He purchased the parcel 8 or 9 years ago for $2m, and within the last few years listed it on GREA for $10m.

I'll believe it when I see it- more likely the owner is trying to make material progress so their zoning permits don't expire and they are bound by newer overlay requirements

EXCLUSIVE: the Estate of John Philip Sousa declares* that "The Washington Post March" shall be renamed "The Philadelphia Inquirer March" due to the former's abdication as a serious journalistic institution

*Note- the march is in the public domain so no permission is needed to change the name

I don't understand why a 5/4/3 wasn't on the table

It equates to a 4% CAGR, which splits the difference between the Admin (3%) and DC33 (5%), gives DC33 the short-term win of 5% in year 1, and puts the Admin at a 3% baseline for the next contract negotiation

Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?Β 

The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

Some municipalities would spend millions of $ on consultants and procurements to do this, all while engaging in a years-long community outreach program… and @bikeaction.org just did it
