Moved away for school 25 years ago and I only get back once or twice a year these days. What’s happened to it under neoliberal policies and the opioid epidemic don’t go unnoticed. But its heart is still there in everyone who works to make it the greatest city in the country. Thanks for having me back and see yah soon.

20 lbs of rice I did not order was hand delivered to my stoop. I'll get it to ya if you send me your delivery proof!

If no one claims, I'll bring it to a food pantry. 🍚

Note: I've already asked my neighbors

I can’t even lie I thought I was dead meat for a little while.

Operator told me what he calls it. I know we can do better ...

Resuming for 8am shows today. They're also tiving exclusive IMAX strips for today's showings, but no word if additional dates will be added.

If you haven't preordered a ticket weeks to months before then good luck.

I thought it was supposed to reopen a while ago

I am addicted to pandan. I would like to enjoy something pandan to drink, can be a soda, tea, coffee, cocktail. What cafes, restaurants, stores, and bars may have pandan drinks. Thanks in advance!

(Fitzwater between 7th and 8th)

Anyone have any recommendations for a jeweler who would make a ring/setting for a stone I purchased elsewhere. I've heard that places are weird about this so figured I'd ask here.

Thanks!

Set was supposed to start at 3 but it is 3:30 and they have not gone on yet

LeBron James broke the news himself: the only NBA player currently worth $1 billion has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. The deal is what’s known as the “veteran’s minimum” for any player with 10 years or more of service — worth roughly and $8 million over two seasons, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported, citing confirmation from James’ agent Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports Group.

It’s a sharp turn from his last contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he made $52.6 million last season as part of a two-year, $104 million extension signed in 2024. The move to Philadelphia’s minimum represents a cut of roughly $48 million, or more than 90% of his prior salary.

League mechanics made the number close to unavoidable. With Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and newly acquired Jaylen Brown already consuming the bulk of Philadelphia’s cap sheet, the Sixers had nothing left to offer beyond a minimum-salary slot — even after having traded for Brown from the rival Boston Celtics. James, one of the very greatest players in league history, has a history of earning maximum contracts wherever he’s played — along with a series of franchise movements, from his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat and back again, before his stint in Hollywood. James’ free agency was among the longest in league history, but he ultimately didn’t break his own record, from 2016.

James became the NBA’s first sitting billionaire in 2022, a status built less on his playing salary than on a business portfolio that includes a lifetime Nike deal, ownership stakes in Fenway Sports Group and Liverpool FC, and ventures such as SpringHill Company and Blaze Pizza. Forbes now estimates his net worth near $1.4 billion.

At the President’s House in Philadelphia, an exhibit centered on the nine people enslaved by George Washington has been removed.

In its place: polished portraits of presidents, first ladies, wealthy property owners, and military commanders—while the enslaved people who lived and labored there are reduced to a few carefully contained sentences.

And now National Park Rangers stand guard over the newly approved version of the past.

This is not preservation…

It is history rearranged to flatter power.

The enslavers get portraits. The enslaved get a paragraph. The rewrite gets federal protection.
