Last night & this morning, the headline isn’t about the top-down decision. It’s about the will of the people of Philadelphia. It’s about what the kids of our city deserve, and the path forward, back to an open public museum. Don’t let people in perceived power dictate the story. The power is ours.
Two articles from the Philly voice and CBS, with headlines “academy
Of natural sciences is closed, but the fight for the museum continues” and “protesters push Drexel
To accept funding to keep the museum at academy
Of natural sciences open”

By the time the museum closed its doors on Sunday, the press had changed its tune. Hey hang on a minute. This does not have to happen. We can have better for our city.
Two headlines, one saga academy of natural sciences closed its doors but it may not be gone forever” and “the doors of rhe academy of natural sciences closed an hour ago. Is this really how it’s going to end?” With pictures of the protest and a crowded museum

September 1 was the day the news was delivered that they planned to close the museum. Press printed the story that the museum was closing. This could have been the end of The story. But the people of Philadelphia resoundingly rejected the proposal, despite having no “official” seat at the table.
Two headlines, “philadelphias academy of natural sciences
Museum to
Close after nearly 200 years” and “academy of natural sciences of Drexel u to close museum on Sept 30”, each with pics of the museum from the outside and dinosaur ball

When people in power deliver bad news to you, they expect you to just take punch, accept it, and move on. In these situations, we need to empower ourselves to reject the premise. I want you to look at three time points in the fight to save the academy of natural sciences with me. (Thread)

If you care about keeping the Academy of Natural Sciences open to the public in Philadelphia, I need you to read and share this thread. Trish Wellenbach was sent from the mayor's office to oversee the Academy of Natural sciences situation. She needs to hear from us. Here comes the action item:

this is not a proper geospatial image analysis but rather me quickly grabbing EU Copernicus imagery from the 24th & today to see if it's possible to assess material movement and flooding impact in the catastrophic event in Nepal.

stuff like this is why one important avenue for court reform is just nixing the shadow docket altogether and forcing these people to explain themselves to the public when they issue orders. also, making their records property of the united states and subject to publication when they leave the bench.

At what point does the approach of having many figures within a figure become too much? Here's an example of "one figure" that has 7 separate subfigures, several of which have many subpanels. 🧪
A "single" figure from an article that 7 subfigures, some of which have many subplots within them.

Kicking Graham Platner to the curb is not showing you are the party without the hunger to win, it is showing that you are the party, unlike the alternative, that has moral standards. That can only help the party in the long run.
