Nope, because we're in the City of London, there are no IRS reports to be spoken of or seen.

Carpeted offices? My office in the City of London is carpeted, and the very thought of 1,000 barefoot colleagues milling around...

In your own house, perhaps (we dont wear shoes fullstop in ours regardless of carpet, lino, hardwood flooring), but do you remove your shoes in a carpeted waiting room? A carpeted library? If you visit someone's home where they do wear shoes indoors but have carpets?

I've blocked these two. They are not engaging in good faith, whatever their intent is. And his "30 minutes ago" is some pretentious b.s., which he's now trying to twist and deflect onto you. This is nonsense, and the gaslighting--for whatever purpose--is b.s.

The Chemical Safety Board has an annual budget <$15 million and with that produces gold-standard failure analyses that can be extended across industries. Only reason to get rid of it is if you genuinely want more billion-dollar disasters that kill and maim blue collar workers.

Ooooh, but also the Finn brothers, all in one show. Lucky! Have seen Duran Duran and Crowded House, though separately, at the Mann Music Center in Philly.

Perhaps she has children, which may be more than enough for her. In her time of grief, she may also simply find it too much to look after two dogs. Being a pet owner is a big commitment and responsibility that could be out of reach for her for many different, possible reasons.

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country. Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding?

So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

You're not imagining that, but "its'" is the work of Semafor, not NYT, where the much, MUCH bigger issue is the congratulatory pat-on-the-back for their editorial choices per internal anonymous sources. An errant apostrophe is the least of all the problems here.

Anyone who talks crap about food in the UK? It's a tell: they know nothing about food in (and perhaps anything else about) the UK. I'm from just outside Philly where food is a quasi-religion. Food options and quality are better in London whereI now live. And it's not just London.

The tribalism bullshit has got to stop. Be against facisim, fascists, and bigots (because there *are* lib/prog bigots, too!), yes, but not everyone in NJ is a progressive or liberal, nor is everyone in TN a fascist. Even CA will have Trump voters who are perfectly happy with what's happening.

I have friends in TN who are horrified by the situation there. I'm from NJ, have visited TN (and many other southern states) -- it's wrong for people to make sweeping generalizations about the south esp when, for eg, parts of NJ and orher northern states are pro-Trump. patch.com/new-jersey/a...

They're profoundly lame. I dont like it when they are referred to as "geeks" or "nerds," which can also be used (personal preference) endearingly. They are dweebs. Wealthy ones, but pathetic dweebs all the same.

If there is one lesson to draw from the history of fascism in the interwar period in Europe, it is this: Democracy falls if and when mainstream conservatives and centrist/center-right elites decide to make common cause with extremists because they consider the “radical Left” the more acute threat.

So it's frustrating to hear things like "This is the darkest timeline" and "late-stage capitalism." Yes things suck & you gotta vent. But... do people think the US started in 1960? We really forget our country, and capitalism, *started* with people on the auction block.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
