The United States president, who is a pedophile, is currently leading a government shutdown because he is semi-illiterate and professionally destitute in the basic functions of civil government and his lackeys are refusing to remediate this because it would reveal that said president is a pedophile.

I love our Ioniq 5 and try to use the free charging when I can. But charging to 80% at home usually costs $5-$7.
Don’t understand why more people don’t get EVs

club of all time by performing for Igor Stravinsky at Birdland. Alfred Appel tells it definitively in his book Jazz Modernism: From Ellington and Armstrong to Matisse and Joyce: The house was almost full, even before the opening set - Billy Taylor's piano trio - except for the conspicuous empty table to my right, which bore a RESERVED sign, unusual for Birdland. After the pianist finished his forty-five-minute set, a party of four men and a woman settled in at the table, rather clamorously, three waiters swooping in quickly to take their orders as a ripple of whispers and exclamations ran through Birdland at the sight of one of the men, Igor Stravinsky. He was a celebrity, and an icon to jazz fans because he sanctified modern jazz by composing Ebony Concerto for Woody Herman and his Orchestra (1946) - a Covarrubias "Impossible Interview" come true. As Parker's quintet walked onto the bandstand, trumpeter Red Rodney recognized Stravinsky, front and almost center. Rodney leaned over and told Parker, who did not look at Stravinsky. Parker immediately called the first number for his band, and, forgoing the customary greeting to the crowd, was off like a shot. At the sound of the opening notes, played in unison by trumpet and alto, a chill went up and down the back of my neck. They were playing "Koko, which, because of its epochal breakneck tempo - over three hundred beats per minute on the metronome - Parker never assayed before his second set, when he was sufficiently warmed up. Parker's phrases were flying as fluently as ever on this particular daunting "Koko." At the beginning of his second chorus he interpolated the opening of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite as though it had always been there, a perfect fit, and then sailed on with the rest of the number. Stravinsky roared with delight, pounding his glass on the table, the upward arc of the glass sending its liquor and ice cubes onto the people behind him, who threw up their hands or ducked. Parker didn't just happen to…

Stravinsky saw Charlie Parker play at Birdland

Queen Village is joining the Open Streets movement Queen Village will close a portion of Fourth Street to motor vehicles on Oct. 11 and Oct. 18.

Open Streets is coming to Queen Village on the next two Saturdays as the neighbors association seeks the business boost and relaxing car-free vibe of the widely popular original version on West Walnut Street.

UPDATE: Regional Rail trains are being pulled from service for fire inspections, which SEPTA now says will likely create weeks, not days, of schedule disruptions.

Fire was yesterday (Saturday morning), but yeah. Weird how little news coverage there has been, given it was a judge's house & she'd just ruled against the Trump regime.

As mascot for Philly?

Does the internet have a Philly accent? Why too much time online can make you ‘culturally Philadelphian.’ Perhaps certain online corners have a special Philly pull.

‘It’s like Gritty as gateway drug’ for internet love of Philadelphia is a great line. Cool article.
