"I flipped my car making a turn on a congested urban road - this is the bike lanes fault actually" I want some of whatever these folks are on
Yesterday’s Accident at 9th & Spruce was caused by a Car Turning Wide Onto a Street Already Made Too Narrow by the Bike Lane. Concrete Barricades Would Have Created a Bigger Disaster. @PhillyMayor @CouncilmemberKJ @marksquilla @ThielAdam @GeorgeBochetto @PhillyOTIS @PPD09Dist

I need more Philadelphia area archives to be open during weekends or after 4pm or even before 10am - at least once in a while Should I take a day off work to go to the HSP Library or German Society of Philadelphia Archives first?
In 2010, the federal minimum wage was $7.25 per hour. One bitcoin was worth $0.30. That's 24 bitcoin an hour, which translates to 2.8 million dollars an hour, or 112 million dollars a week. That's what they stole from us.
I repeat: In 1971 the federal minimum wage was $1.60 per hour That’s 1.82 oz of gold per week in 40 hours Today that would translate to approx $150.00 per hour and $6000 That’s what they stole from Americans

Founding stock — are you a horse? A dog? One's value to society is determined by what they do, not what some random blood connection did 400 years ago. That conviction, now being destroyed, is what once made America a distinct and extraordinary civilization in world history.
Imagine being an Indian living in America via the UK, claiming American citizenship while speaking with an English accent, telling a White founding stock American with 400+ years of ancestry here he's not a native. The brown chutzpah LARP from Medhi Hasan here is incredible.
I need someone to establish a bounty for figuring how how many of these guys claiming to be "founding stock" are straight up lying (or mis informed by family just-so stories) about their ancestry

I've never worked somewhere / for someone where "appearing online" (green bubble on teams) was important / something someone paid attention to - is this a real thing other places?
