Ok but otherwise I never would have bothered watching Until The End Of The World.

This is the most human behavior I've ever seen from an AI. I too am stupid and lazy and would refuse to engage with this prompt!

Every time I watch an Olympic an event I try to predict whether I would merely come in last place or whether I would be disqualified for injury within seconds of starting.

The ultimate problem with these products is that no one wants to be around someone who is wearing them. It's really hard to get around that.

There's a decent chance AI slop and scams just forces a huge amount of economic and cultural activity off the internet!

Given the number of people watching TikTok without headphones on public transit I'm not sure how effective that would be.

While there are lots of arguments about how it's impossible/irresponsible to regulate emerging technologies, New Jersey did just effectively ban e-bikes, a technology with obvious social utility. So, it can be done!

Nothing good can come from this.

"South Jersey diner/event space" is almost too on the nose as a location for a Piven meet and greet in 2026.

Chunyun for Chinese New Year is the world's largest annual human migration event. Guangzhou South Railway Station is loading and sending off as much as 17 high speed trains every 20 mins yesterday. It was doing the same today. It will do the same tomorrow.

Man, they don't make them like they used to.

Very excited to say that the stars have aligned and NYU Marron/Transit Costs Project have landed a grant that will fund a second edition of Momentum, which will apply the high-throughput framework to major regional rail networks beyond the NY area. Our three big new cases: - NJT - SEPTA - METRA

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.

The arena he loved, hosting a rivalry he cherished. Go out and watch some basketball, he told us, so today we do.

I took my kid to see Home Alone in a theater over winter break and there were kids in the audience complaining that they couldn't play on their iphones. While watching Home Alone! On a big screen!

Philadelphia residents can find me Tuesday evening upstairs at Abyssinia telling a story about my younger days!

At long last, we have created Solaris, the Tyrant Sun from Grant Morrison's classic comic seres "Don't Create Solaris, the Tyrant Sun."

The release of the Epstein Files really lays bare the evils of (among other things) networking.

We need a word that goes beyond 'slop' for this one: aftermath.site/we-need-a-word...

Applies to all kinds of advocacy, but my theory of change as a safe street advocate: The city says it can only do 10 miles of protected bike lanes per year. You say, "What? Other cities have put in 50 miles in the same amount of time?" Then the city says, "Fine. We'll do 20 miles." That's a win!

This is the Philadelphia App and Dan *was* Philadelphia. Nobody else captured the weirdness (solemn to silly) of this region and its culture with such affection and respect. Everyone wear your stupidest Wildwood boardwalk tee in his honor. Be good, buddy.

One of the things about Sauron is that he gave a bunch of rings to dwarves and elves and it didn’t turn them into big ghost monster wraiths like it did with guys so he kind of just gave them presents and was like “ah shit, I thought it would do the thing, dang”

A town like Haddonfield, only a couple of miles wide, no school busses, and a PATCO station, would be greatly improved by 1-2 protected bike lanes and heavy adoption of e-bikes.

At some point we need answers as to why, three days later, we still have no school while most other districts in the area are up and running.

The better approach that criminalizing e-bikes might have been "protected bike lanes to all middle/high schools that don't have busses"

This e-bike regulation is so frustrating because NJ is almost perfectly situated to take huge advantage of e-bikes to improve mobility. Densest state in the US, but without comprehensive metro systems. www.inquirer.com/news/new-jer...

Yes there's some snow on the ground but not so much that a storm on Sunday means no school Wednesday.

I've never loved anything as much as the School District of Philadelphia loves closing schools.

Upzone Essex/Hudson/Bergen/Union and maybe we can add another 500k before the census.

One of the greatest superhero artists to ever do it. If you're drawing a comics fight scene this week, please pay tribute to this legend with a SAL BUSCEMA PUNCH.

Ok but will they also be on HBO Max?

I am dealing with that RIGHT NOW.

AI generated photorealistic images need to be banned.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Zohran Mamdani will FORCE all New Yorkers to watch Urusei Yatsura INCLUDING the films and OVAs. What are your thoughts on this?

Ads for prediction markets in the subway offer the average person the chance to bet on what a character is going to say on TV, the kind of stuff you're betting on as a degenerate end-stage gambler. Why not start at rock bottom?

If only my great grandfather had realized how evil the US was, he could have stayed in Austria Hungary.

My kids have activities I have to bring them to on Saturday mornings, and I have gotten in the habit of leaving my phone at home and bringing a newspaper/magazine/book. It's great!

I just put The Conquering Tide on my library hold list and feel very validated to find it on this list.

The Brandywine River Museum is amazing, if nothing else for the N.C. Wyeth.

Something clicked for me recently when I realized that we're living in a CA 2005 "edgy" webcomic.

We should legalize cafes in residential areas in the US, especially in coastal areas with a large amount of WFH. They're low-intensity businesses that can be run out of houses and they wouldn't be crowding out non-food retail from commercial areas. darrellowens.substack.com/p/legalize-c...

Amazing article. Not only is there a computer marketed to the Amish, it's called the Chore Boy. Possibly the best name possible for a computer. www.inquirer.com/business/all...
