>Andrei Doroshin alleged his former university did not allow him to defend himself before it labeled him a thief, expelled him for misconduct, and “very publicly branded [him] a racist, classist, elitist, leaving his entire future in ruins.”

Anyone have any info on this last bit (“branded him a racist, classist,” etc.)? Unsurprisingly, I couldn’t find anything with a quick Google search

Wow, didn’t know that. Thanks for linking. What a complete dumpster fire of a father son duo. These people suck

TL;DR: 24-year-old montco dude drives to cc to kill other dude his ex-boyfriend was supposed to meet up w at the hotel.

What does “gentrify” even mean anymore?

Why do we grant religious institutions tax exemptions?

Where's the Amazon cashless grocery store?

What constitutes as a “non-PPA zone”? Is it anything beyond a parking sign?

Are those tin roofs? Pretty cool

Have you seen Jacob Silj there?

Sort of related: one of the reasons I dislike the soda tax is it incentivizes the city to allow its citizens to purchase single-use plastic bottles — which inevitably become litter — and de-incentivizes any future ban that might help in the War Against Litter

Ya, this is a thing I’ve experienced in Seattle. I went to two that were basically dog parks with a food truck that sells beer and cocktails. Think parks on tap with dogs everywhere. It was alright, more of a convenience for my friends who had dogs with them than anything

Ok but what about the best bars to meet 20/30/100 year olds to cry w?

Was just there last weekend and totally agree. Plus, the racial demographics are very loosely flipped (Philly is ~40% white, Seattle is ~68% white)

Same in Brewerytown. Neighbors still out in the rain, on wine bottle #2 with music playing, giving out candy and temporary tattoos to whoever will take them. Just ordered them a pizza

How do we ALL of the news stations there to 1) force him to do it publicly and 2) accomplish something for us all as Philadelphians to be forever proud of

Was thinking about this yesterday after watching someone throw fast food trash out their car window in the general direction of someone walking their dog on Poplar: the amount of littering and dumping that happens in this city makes me think we're forever fucked.

Until our neighbors decide to care about the community/place they live in enough to properly dispose of their garbage, there's no chance our city will ever change for the better. If people can't even consider how littering and dumping might affect others, they absolutely aren't giving a shit about anyone else's safety, health, well-being, experience on this earth, etc.

Philadelphia schools also don't really offer many extracurricular opportunities for kids, so there are lots of school- and community-based organizations doing youth development at schools that could likely use financial support, as well (two of my personal favorites are Give and Go Athletics and the Kensington Soccer Club, both of which are members of the Philadelphia Youth Sports Collaborative)

Can someone pls explain why we have a sheriff’s office and what they do differently from the police? My understanding is that the sheriff is a state office and the police are municipal; if that’s right, then what do Philadelphia county police do that’s different/not redundant?
