Nivea Krishnan, Tara Cosentino, and Richie Glover argue that Arizona students need speech and debate. Only 48 of ~560 high schools have teams. They make the case that the gap is solvable. go.aztalks.org/pz-qzzetja

I'm a big fan of Philly Bike Action's approach to street safety advocacy. They use kindness & fun as a tool, hosting 'parties' with music or giving out free soft pretzels. At the same time they're unafraid to push hard for timely actionable change. billypenn.com/2026/04/14/p...

We 100% need an indoctrination program if we ever want Philly to be clean. Aggressively cleaning before it snowballs needs to be part of the strategy, but it's not enough
The city has a litter problem because we refuse to believe it’s a culture problem
Serious 
emoji:snoo:
Every single day I see someone drop trash right in front of me. When I call them out on it, they proceed to litter more. I’ve seen children litter in front of their parents. What in the everloving fuck is wrong with this city.

You can add all the trash cans you want but it’ll never change that behavior. When i was in Japan there were ZERO trash cans and it was clean. The only thing that’ll fix it is fines, punishment and shame, which none of that works on these people.

Change my mind

It shows how unserious the people who are pedantic about city/neighborhood aesthetics are that they never call out how ugly on-street parking is

I'm old enough to remember when the 2A crowd wouldn't uncritically accept agents of the state—much less these mall cops—killing someone for the "crime" of carrying a weapon (yes, regardless of what you think happened in this situation, people are currently defending this idea)

Can PPD & @mayorparker.bsky.social ask officers to keep the new City Hall bike lane clear? Penn Square is not a place where you want people on bikes to have to go out into mixed traffic!

The NIMBYs are trying to kill housing and retail on Washington Ave on the site of an abandoned industrial lot and I fear they will get their way. I regret to inform you that you gotta show up at Tindley Temple *Wednesday evening* to save this project. I got a babysitter for this.

God bless whoever put up this pro-upzoning poster in Edgewater, please put up more
A flier taped to a streetlight pole that reads:

“I also have access to a printer,
And I say
Upzoning is cool and good and it is my friend

Let ‘em build some housing! What're you worried about, people with jobs and homes using the Red Line?

Atraid of density? then why did you move to the big city my good friend [emoji making a ‘this guy’s nuts!’ gesture]

‘But I wanna drive my car!’
The bus is better because you can read a book on the bus

Dear ‘Save Edgewater’: If I ever see you again claming that increasing supply increases prices I will spank your bottom and enroll you in an econ class at Loyola

Say YES to proposed Upzoning in Edgewater

Having a nice time with my son on the Schuylkill River Trail but can’t help but think about how much nicer it would be if the cars on Kelly Drive were forced to slow down. The speed limit is 25 mph but if they were actually going anywhere near that it wouldn’t be so loud

Sometimes not just any pizza will do, but I'm sick of cold pizza, whether it's cold because it's on my bike in the wind or because Uber Eats drivers never keep it hot. Is it crazy to buy one of these for my e-bike or is it crazy not to?

The subsidized parking crusaders at CCRA started a brand new c4 specifically to fight safety improvements and loading zones (which we should have more of everywhere) on Spruce & Pine. These selfish people have no shame. Thankfully, many people are not buying what they’re selling
