Ironically, the original Megalopolis, in Greece, is a small town (pop. 5,344)

Told my lecture class today that the New Deal's National Recovery Administration's "Blue Eagle" logo inspired the owner of the Philadelphia football team to rename the franchise as the Eagles. Voice from the back of the lecture hall: "Go Birds!"

I have no earthly idea who did them originally but we need that gallery of the 2010s Three Kingdoms TV series characters as Dril quotes on here

The CIA ran a program experimenting with LDS as a mind control agent called Mormon Kingdom Ultra.

One kinda funny thing about charlie kirk is he stole an absolute shit ton of money from trump and had trump not won in spite of him he’d be maga enemy number 1

Amidst the massive political bloviation over immigration, there is remarkably little reporting on or discussion of the basic economics of immigration, which is clear and renders most of the political chatter as vacuous lies usually propelled by racist malice. www.cato.org/blog/economi...

This was before the 1961 downzoning, which capped the number of homes in the city, drove up housing costs, and caused NYC to lose political power

“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)” (via @yarotrof.bsky.social)

Harrisburg can't find $$$ to run your bus yet the state is giving up to $1.6 billion (!) to Shell's polluting, climate-crushing plastics plant that's a jobs bust and may even be for sale after less than 3 years Inside Pa.'s biggest boondoggle, ever. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/shel...

Is Abe Vigoda Dead?

The political reason Trump is doing the fascist assault on the Fed & trying to fire Lisa Cook is because he’s a fascist. The economic reason is that he’s locked himself in a policy trilemma where the only way to not blow up the economy was to not touch the stove in the first place.

It's kind of impressive how bad the political consequences of left-NIMBYism are: losing political representation to red states, losing the moral high ground on migration issues, and exacerbating homelessness. At least "developers" had to go to Texas and Florida.

I wrote an unusually strongly worded thing about the transit crisis in Pennsylvania, which is coming soon to Oregon and Illinois. humantransit.org/2025/08/the-...

The Constitution isn't always a model of precise clarity, but its authors knew how to say person when they meant person and citizen when they meant citizen. Especially in the 14th Amendment which carefully uses both, and Section 2 which uses "citizen" as a qualifier in the very next sentence.

Lads the HONK I just honked

We're just gonna say it: this proposal sucks! Our position is that this proposal is deeply unserious and doesn't contain a long-term funding solution for SEPTA. Raiding our capital dollars to pay for operations is a lose-lose proposition for everyone, not just Philly!

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

ME: Hey man. I just wanted to say I’m sorry for shooting you with the dracula ray back then. With the benefit of hindsight I would have approached turning you into a dracula differently, maybe even not at all. MY FRIEND: I vant to accept your apology!!

"Is that a team of Ph.D. level experts in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

those damned outdoor pigs can't keep getting away with this

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...

89. CBS/60 Minutes/Vanity Fair, 2011: "What does the acronym GOP stand for?"

This is such a crippling, self-inflicted wound for the whole state. We're going to be the laughing stock of the world if we can't get fans to and from the World Cup next year. Just mind-bogglingly dumb.

I’m starting to think it was a bad idea to elect a big dummy like this to be President.

“Those 11,000 new units would represent a 37% increase in the number of New Rochelle apartments compared with 10 years ago…New Rochelle’s median rent actually declined 2% from 2020 to 2023, while median rent nationally was surging at a double-digit rate.” www.wsj.com/real-estate/...
