Yeah, I agree, but even the vendors may not appreciate it beyond a certain threshold. Who knows, maybe it’ll find a good equilibrium. One can hope.

Queue Cue the instagram mob scene. Thanks NPR/WHYY.* (Edit: I'm aware of the difference, but phone commenting brain isn't always in proofread mode. However, the other comment is also correct that both could work depending on the situation.)

(* I know this isn't some super extra cool secret and it has been growing, but I do fear the way publicity quickly overwhelms things these days.)

"This human knows absolutely nothing about personal space." - The hawk

It is definitely intentionally incendiary, but that's most media including the Inquirer. It wouldn't surprise me if the Inquirer wouldn't blink in rewriting the story to favor the officer under a certain set of circumstances, even if the important known details were entirely the same. That I don't have confidence in them (among many others) writing a dispassionate and just-the-facts news story is what frustrates me about them.

True story. Those machines are miracles of humans messing around with physics.

In the main library? If I had to guess, it’s probably for processing and sorting holds and and interlibrary loan books for transport around the system. Like this in NYPL: https://youtu.be/4IOv1O6SULY

They have a massive space in Queens for the entire system. It might actually process all the NYC library systems.

98% of the city collectively shrugs.

I at least try to take the rules of the sub seriously...

I have a friend moving from out of state with her boyfriend and considering a rental on Bonsall just north of Wharton Square in Point Breeze. I know the area is rapidly changing with money but also kinda block to block.

Anyone familiar with the blocks over there? Safety, vibe, etc?

snap… don’t worry, this won’t hurt a bit

Worst case scenario, your butthole is laminated.

Might be useful against spicy shits and hemorrhoids.

Levity and boofing are the things that will get us through

Are needed to do what? Tell the politicians what to do? Handpick the politicians that the voters get to choose from? Why do you want union leaders, who are not answerable to voters, to have control over city politics and over the needs and demands of the public at large?

This is the type of thread we all need from time to time.

Write a movie script and cash in?

Depends on what side of that coin you are on, or rather which pocket the coin falls into. The guys painting it aren't going to stretch that work into overtime for nothing.

The city can't/won't even enforce the raised bike lane on N American St.

Ah yes, surely what the city needs more of is homeless camps, especially ones full of righteous, overgrown children fighting "the man". The solutions are right in front of us if we just make up the right narrative.

I mean, there would have to be consequences for not paying, which is also a problem. "Advocates" everywhere interjecting some overwrought opinion about how fines aren't fair.

That oughta do it. Someone should get a good 'atta boy! for this.

Imagine saying "the best way to help alcoholics is by giving them free, government paid for alcohol and a place to vomit until they make the personal decision to be sober." Staggering the lengths people will go to justify their hypotheses.

This reads like SEO copy.
