Set to become 1st female MLB umpire, Pawol represents beacon of hope and progress NEW YORK -- Jen Pawol was in the middle of umpiring a Triple-A game Wednesday night when Nashville Sounds third baseman Oliver Dunn identified some exciting common ground between them. β€œWhen I make it...

Good stuff from Elizabeth Muratore on umpire Jen Pawol ahead of her MLB debut this weekend:

There’s a new pedestrian-only walkway between Market & JFK and 31st & 32nd–and we’ve painted it with murals. Here’s more about the two murals Isabella Akhtarshenas created for Mural Row at Schuylkill Yards!

This project is by Brandywine Realty and Mural Arts, and it was curated by Conrad Benner.

Chester County runs on SEPTA!

Our budget is 5 weeks late and we are just days from SEPTA service cuts. It’s time for Senate Republicans to come back to work, pass a budget, and fund SEPTA!

In Denmark, farmers are required by law to grow field flowers for bees on 5 % of their land…. πŸ’πŸ
I think that’s a fantastic solution to a big problem, they can do it here too ❀

Texas Democrats have left the state to fight for fair elections. Congressional Republicans left DC to fight against releasing the Epstein files.

We are not the same.

Without new funding, Philadelphia's SEPTA transit system will begin implementing major service cuts on Aug 24/25, which would include cutting dozens of bus routes & 5 regional rail lines.

Good news: There is movement to solve the problem in PA state legislature: www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/08...

New state transit funding must be secured by August 14 in order for #SEPTA to avoid implementation of a 20% service cutβ€”beginning August 24β€”to close a recurring budget deficit.

I don't think anyone fully recognizes how apocalyptic these Septa cuts are for those of us who can't afford cars. Philly is so fucked.

Neilson: Aug. 24 They’re Cutting The Bus
YouTube video by Pa. House Video Neilson: Aug. 24 They’re Cutting The Bus

On August 24th, the bus I used to ride for school will shut down because SEPTA is out of money! That’s why we passed a bipartisan bill that includes oversight demanded by Senate Republicans. We are out of time, SEPTA is running out of money & now the Senate has no more excuses.

Five Philadelphia cops were fired for allegedly assaulting or threatening women. They’ve all been reinstated. Two arbitrators appointed by the Fraternal Order of Police overruled the five terminations of Philly cops. A citizens oversight group said the outcomes are "concerning."

Really cool that the Fraternal Order of Police (union, my ass: more like a fraternity) appoints arbitrators to rule on cops getting fired because they were violent to those they're supposed to be protecting and serving (yes, even suspects count, asshole).

Using skill game revenue to fund SEPTA will disproportionately harm Pa.’s Black communities The prevalence of skill games in Black communities siphons off money while also fueling racial inequity, Solomon Jones writes.

Interesting Opinion piece, solid argument. But I disagree.

Pennsylvania should tax & regulate the hell out of the skill game industry, such as machines made by Pace-o-Matic, as a way to #FundSepta:

$910,841,000.00 in local highway and bridge funding could be put to better use with SEPTA. Starve the contractor grifters who fund your political opposition and strengthen your base of power. A simple calculus, tbh

$143,000,000.00 from the Legislature. If Senate Republicans cannot be bothered to return to Harrisburg to pass a budget, they need not be concerned with collecting salaries and having their support staff funded.
