keeping prices stable on some back-to-school is nice but look you guys went anti-woke and now you're going broke so maybe try going super woke

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

First, they tried to "cure" gayness. Now they're fixated on "healing" trans people. Inside the movement to resurrect conversion therapy.

Iffy Books is one of the coolest most wonderful resources in Philly, but they're barely holding on. If you can subscribe for $3 a month or make a onetime donation that'd be so rad

Once again I am begging the Dems: hire me as your designated Philadelphian/nitpicker/response-planner. You are leaving SO many opportunities for good press and good fights on the table.

Ok this is a very niche personal pet peeve, BUT: Folks, regular WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. It's a Water-Displacer and degreaser. Get a bottle of 3-in-1, and for tank treads I'd recommend a good hard-wearing grease.
