Just read the insights of Jeff Bezos in his opinion piece in The Post. I wasn't going to join 200,000 others and cancel my subscription because doing so won't hurt Bezos -- he paid more for his yachts than his newspaper -- and, yes, the Post newsroom where good people, and some friends still labor continues providing meaningful journalism. But, my god, this man's insipid defense of his own transparent cowardice is provoking. I cancelled. I wasn't going to do it. I probably shouldn't, and certainly, if this technobrat oligarch ever releases his grip on what needs to be an independent newsroom and editorial board, indifferent to the financial positions of its publisher, then I'll return. But this kind of abuse of a public trust by a publisher is unacceptable.

A change in police approach helped Philadelphia cut homicide by over 40% year over years. When will see a similar change in approach for traffic laws? The city's streets are still wildly out of control. inquirer.com/crime/hit-run-…

Have been informed that the two Russian streaming services offering The Wire in that country have systematically removed scenes and dialogue indicating that Omar Little is homosexual. Be advised, you backward fucks, that Omar Little of Baltimore, Maryland is unapologetically gay, and, though fictional, infinitely more badass and tactically effective than all of the conscripts and paroled thugs you've sent into the meat-grinder in Ukraine. Not that they'd do much better invading West Baltimore. But thanks for watching, I guess.

@dons_report More likely to go for Rodgers, and he’d be more likely to take it

@AdamAnderson129 Hard to say, but it may have deflected off a defender before it got to his boot. Palaversa said there was a touch

If you look at I-95 through Center City and South Philly it's clear that its purpose is to shave a few minutes off drives between the yellow and red areas. Long-distance traffic can go around Philly. Other traffic can take 76 or locals streets. Is it worth keeping I-95 there?

So PennDOT in Northeast Philadelphia is refusing to investigate a project that has wide grassroots support while in South Philadelphia is steamrolling residents with misleading statements to build a highway ramp no one wants.

@jacobgolden_ @PennDOTNews The wait has been unacceptable. No updates at all.

LMAO "not just that one train example" Her framing here is that commuter train users to Manhattan (specifically the congestion zone) are some sort of niche In total it's close to a million people per day, a far bigger number than car commuters Who are all paying more than $15

One reporter asked why $15 a day to drive is too expensive much but $30 round-trip train tickets aren't. Her answer is just so bad.

Americans worry that maybe, one day, authorities will use "15-Minute City" as a way to restrict movement. Movement is *already* restricted because walking -- walking -- is considered suspicious. Hard to watch this child's life change forever 👇

Cars on the Schuylkill River trail… Really bad car accident. Kelly Drive is shut down. The Kelly Drive should have speed cameras and speed cushions. Stop allowing cars to ruin Philadelphia.

Had Philly used these, even just by intersections, Doctor Barbara Friedes may have been protected. There is no valid reason for why the city only uses flex posts. Likely they do it to appease illogical and toxic people. Our feckless 'leaders' have blood on their hands.

Idk who needs to hear this but installing about .7 mi of these was only about $150k and that included the cost of repaving 3+ lanes of street in the center of downtown PGH engage.pittsburghpa.gov/complete-stree…

I am just curious on how the "progressive" voices in Philly that call pedestrian safety "gentrification" sleep at night being pro murder. You are on the same side as right wingers that fantasize about running people over or shooting them. 50% of the deaths are black people btw.

Reminder that our dumbass mayor cut the pedestrian and bike lane safety fund to give the cops more money. Thanks Mayor Parker your stroke of genius is really saving the city

Tragedy on Spruce Street in Rittenhouse tonight. An apparent drunk driver hit multiple cars and killed a cyclist. So horrifying. So preventable. Drivers kill.

Its not just delivery drivers doing this either, the Spruce and Pine bike lanes must be protected

If the Roberts Court's understanding of the Constitution is correct it's hard to understand what the authors of the document could have meant by a President being guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors". Perhaps the framers were simply wrong in understanding their document?

The #2-selling electric vehicle in the US is an electric bicycle. “In 2023, Lectric helped electrify more Americans than Ford, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Rivian, Lucid, BMW, Porsche combined.” So, naturally, we’ll give anyone $7,500 to buy an electric car … electrek.co/2024/06/05/aft…

This is simply incredible. Americans keep saying as clearly as we can that we want walkable, bikeable communities.

Air pollution is the transportation elephant in the room, and beyond the bitter fights to curb motor traffic in Paris, one essential fact remains: Nitrogen dioxide levels have been steadily declining across the city; reducing rates of premature mortality and respiratory disease.

In this New Jersey town, it was a tradition: get in the car, drive through the Holland Tunnel, then drive nine blocks across town to a diner a half a mile east of Grand Central for waffles and eggs. But now the woke mob is taking all of that away.

>@GovKathyHochul just said she decided to kill congestion pricing because the owner of this Midtown diner said his New Jersey customers weren't going to....drive into his Midtown diner anymore?
