🚨 Update: This is an objectively good move by City Committee to not let this BS stand and send it to the contest committee. I’m going to do the very dumb thing™ and stick my neck out say this green shoots of a new leaf for Bob Brady and City Committee’s relationship with progressives and leftist challengers. For them, the writing’s on the wall: The same progressive wave that won Chris Rabb his Congressional seat absolutely carried through to Ward elections. The number of open wards continue to grow and if the 5th splits into A&B there can be even more. I think there’s a base understanding that the continued animosity between City Committee and progressives and leftists is unproductive and unsustainable if we’re going to turn out Philly in 2028. On Bob Brady: I’m glad he announced that he’s retiring after this term or sooner. Should it have been before now? Maybe… but dear reader, if think it was going to be anyone even a skosh left of center dem you’re absolutely kidding yourself. Brady recently said in an interview with @Laurenjmayk that he’s going to work with progressives and the evidence so far points to that fact. In the ward leader turnover fights that have transpired, I haven’t heard of any funny business outside of the Cindy Bass debacle, which can’t be attributed to Bob. In fact, I’ve heard city committee asked to provide Cindy for a lawyer to monitor that meeting and she turned it down. Look, I know for a fact that there’s whole lot of progressives and leftists that have considerable beef with Bob Brady and City Committee. I’ve written a whole ass op-Ed for the Inquirer and aired my own shit publicly. So for this *current iteration* of City Committee goes and what it becomes I’m going to trust, but verify. I’m ready for them to wow me with who they select for chairs and how they conduct business moving forward. Lastly, lemmie piss off everyone with this thread- upon reflection I think that TikTok stunt that Larry pulled outside of City Committee was strategically moronic. It actually killed any forward progress to finding a consensus replacement for Brady this term and only exacerbated the potential for a flame war. I think Larry sometimes needs enemies for relevancy and attention & it’s annoying. inquirer.com/politics/philad…

Com’on man, don’t you think you’re being a bit ungrateful? Sheriff Bilal just gave you this mascot and dance video for only $609,250.

Who says Philly doesn’t have manners.

this is how you know new york isn’t a real sports city bc people in philly will sign off work emails with “go birds” in the middle of the offseason after a first round exit

It genuinely astounds me just how dogshit the cell service on the Amtrak northeast corridor can be. I should be getting 7G LTQ all the way from Philly to Boston: I don’t live in Kansas.

This is …. And I don’t say this lightly…. The single greatest piece of writing I have ever seen in my life The Japanese have discovered unlimited chips & salsa and it’s beautiful

conservatives will post normal photos of people in fun outfits and act like they dropped a truth nuke

Outfit so good I almost liked a hate tweet

Political dynasties are bad and shouldn’t be embraced by the right or left.

“Fascist governments are never as powerful, competent, or efficient as they claim to be” has been a theme not just for Andor but a number of other Star Wars projects.

A disgrace.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children. History's first trillionaire.
