While the Phila Big 5 has been functionally dead for years, and the NIL era really has rendered 4/5 of the schools nationally (and seemingly permanently) irrelevant, I can nonetheless be sad and angry that Villanova has pulled the plug today. Redditors said it best: www.reddit.com/r/philadelph...
Feel like Tourneur had this shot from the climax of the movie in his head for years and built the story around getting to it.
THIS WED at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, host @willmckinley.bsky.social casts new light on Jacques Tourneur’s stunning study in urban paranoia, the 1956 #filmnoir classic NIGHTFALL. We’ll be leaving it to Will to make all further announcements. 😊 #TheNoirCollective Link to watch: archive.org/details/nigh...

This is my central criticism of this generation of planners; they assume single detached housing is a benign/sacred baseline and everything and everyone else who wants to share that space must be prepared to make an offering for the privilege.
LB complaining about multiplexes - “There’s no affordability” “there should be affordability requirements” %^*! That This is so gross. You’re fine with a single family house being $6m, creating wholly privatized wealth, but a 4 plex should have “affordability covenants” It’s so infuriating!

Single stack (much cheaper plumbing) is as old as germ theory but still illegal almost everywhere in the U.S.
The goal was to determine if requiring a vent for each trap was really necessary to prevent siphonage. Karsten reiterated that the new germ theory proved that trap vent piping was not needed for cleaning the air in the drains and that the system could be eliminated if siphonage was prevented.

This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

How should Manchester City fans feel about the charges? Where should they direct their anger? My piece: www.nytimes.com/athletic/763...

The press coverage of the Academy of Natural Sciences has gone from "Oh how sad" to sounding like a hostage negotiation. Which maybe sounds bad, but elected leaders, the press, the people online, all saying "You don't have to do this, man" is better than mourning. share.inquirer.com/YTQg0s
@migueldelaney.bsky.social I just listened to the Libero Episode on the Man City charges and you mentioned at the end that the period of Pep’s success comes after but still rests on the period covered by the investigation. I wonder if there is actually a more explicit connection between the two.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades
Hi folks. If you saw this, you know the administration plans to only accept white South Africans next year. Tomorrow is Congress's formal say before the determination is signed. Please check this brief thread on why I'd like you to speak out for the Afghan people still in limbo...

This is the recent story of homelessness in California, where those of us who support Housing First have done a piss poor job of explaining why billions in state investment haven’t meaningfully address the problem have thus handed a major propaganda victory to the right.
“If you are staring at an example of social disorder or social inefficiency, and the left refuses to explain either why it has happened or how they will fix it, then the right gets to point at someone in the immediate area and say, ‘That’s who did it.’” crazy how much Mamdani speaks my language

Construction is happening in San Diego and Sacramento where rents are lower. The interest rates and construction cost problems are real but this is a self inflicted problem in Los Angeles thanks to ULA and high impact fees. www.latimes.com/california/s...
