âI know, weâll take this one American city, regarded as a hotbed of seditious sentiment, and subject it to a heavy-handed punitive crackdown. and that will cow the rest of the Americans into quiet submission and snuff out the embers of opposition at their sourceâ the ghost of General Thomas Gage:

Suda may have had missteps; the rebranding was a distraction at best. But this piece brings into full and clear light the perilous state of Philadelphia's cultural nonprofits, governed by its boomer elite class more interested in petty squabbles and power brokering than governance and expansion

This, for the Paul Dudley White at the BU Bridge. (Added bonus: minimal additional climb since it would just extend the grade from the Grand Junction overpass.)

I've seen people say that the officer who murdered Nicole Good should be charged with murder, and to that I add that every officer who kept medics from arriving, who barred doctors from helping should also be charged under conspiracy doctrine.

The arguments made by these Dallas suburbs â that they donât get as much out of DART as they pay in â is terrible. Transit benefits the Dallas region as a whole, and axing all regional service in certain communities is very shortsighted.

The Cambridge side of the BU Bridge should be rebuilt with a bike/ped flyover to replace the Reid Overpass. Local topography means it doesn't introduce new climb. If we're going to build a bridge, let's prioritize people walking and biking (it would be cheaper, too).
