Anatomy isn't immune from physics. This is a different flavor of the ideal gas|real gas 🚸🎈🎈 laws.

Putting peeps [the CANDY 🍬 snack] in the microwave is a pretty safe demo- or pet a frog 🐸 😉 Your call.

Thanks, I probably need somebody to check out my sternum-- it's probably still just gingivitis, but I wouldn't normally think about what indigestion actually is.

Reply to Undersheriff Tariq El-Shabazz has been fined by the Ethics Board for doubling as a criminal defense lawyer in Philly by courageous_liquid

> In an interview on radio station WURD earlier this month, Bilal dismissed the El-Shabazz story (and an unrelated story on a $6,600 office party at sports bar Chickie’s & Pete’s) as sensationalized and motivated by the termination of an advertising contract.

This fucking city.

Reply to Every year, there are more applicants to Philly charters than seats. But demand is still lower than before the pandemic. by AbsentEmpire

I would hypothesize that a good number of the type of families who would previously be fighting for those charter spots just said fuck it during covid and moved to the burbs where their kids were garunteed to get a good education and not have to hope and pray that they were chosen in a lottery.

Remote work unchained a lot of middle class professionals from city life and many took advantage of that to get their kids to better school systems. And I’ve said it before and will say it again, all at a cost of living that is equal to or even possibly lower than being in the city. If the city wants to retain these families the tax burden needs to go down and services need to go up.
