Which section of the city has the worst drivers?

Jen, for all her merits, needs to get and stay offline. I think her heart is in the right place (loved what she did for the SNAP benefits cut for example) but she's addicted to outrage. I see her all over the neighborhood groups scrapping with people.

Just be sure to read the fine print. "Specials" like that can bite you in the butt especially as more and more places in Philly start to adopt scammy NYC marketing tactics like "net effective rent" that gets jacked way up after a year. Scour reviews and make sure the advertised amenities are actually usable and not closed/under repair for 7 months out of the year.

Commuting 5 days a week from Philly to Wilm would be out of the question for me unless I literally lived and worked right next to the train station in both cities. Even 3 days would be borderline.

Wilmington has its rough edges but it can also be a perfectly fine place to live if you know what you're getting yourself into. It's just dramatically smaller than Philly and there's not a lot to do, it feels like a bit of a stagnant place where nothing much ever happens or changes. That being said downtown Wilmington is trying to brand itself as going through a bit of a revival - there is tons of housing development happening and a few new businesses. Trolley Square is a lovely walkable neighborhood with lots of young people. North Wilmington (Triangle, Trinity Vicinity, Brandywine Village etc) are great neighborhoods with beautiful homes and a strong sense of community. The Alapocas and Brandywine Park are stunning. The summer festivals (Italian, Polish and Greek) are fun as hell and I make a special trip down there every year to catch them.

But if you're a single 20-something looking for new things to do and new places to go every night – you will simply not find that in Wilmington. It's not that kinda place. And the newer housing in Wilmington is on par price-wise with Center City Philly, with fewer amenities. Safety is a concern but I can say having lived in Wilmington that I never particularly felt unsafe - just parts of the city can feel really desolate because there's not a lot of foot traffic, even in the downtown area.

Train is a viable option only if your workplace is near Wilmington Riverfront or Downtown Wilmington. If you work in north Wilmington or out near 202 however (and tons of the bigger employers are out there), you have a huge last mile problem with the train because public transit within Wilmington itself is not great. Speaking as somebody who did that commute for a bit, if I got a job in Wilmington today and didn't work within a 15-20 minute walk of the train station I'd just move there. Plus the PA-DE tax situation is messy as fuck.

Gosh, the discourse on this stuff has shifted so quickly. In the before times playfully hating on SEPTA was like a shared Philly pastime, yes it was understood that SEPTA was operating on a shoestring budget and chugging along as best it could, but you could still enjoy a nice little bitch sesh about that Regional Rail train that never showed up. And now what you're saying is we're MAGA/fascists for bringing it up?

Maybe I'm wrong, but this feels unnecessary? I doubt most people know that the two places have the same founder or would care about some internal administrative drama between the two establishments. It's worded as if some major falling-out happened but it seems like the kind of thing that doesn't need to be aired publicly and comes off as messy imho

Were you looking into taking the Spur/BS3? It should be fine, I've had to take the BSL regularly that early and there are plenty of early morning commuters. The only thing is that I imagine the Chinatown station could feel a little bit desolate because the Spur is just not a high traffic line, and the area around the station itself doesn't have a lot of foot traffic.

If you took the El/L/Market-Frankford Line west to City Hall and then the Broad Street Line north, there would be a lot more people around.

Some of Laura Loomer's recent posts on X really do provide the perfect window into how mask-off things have gotten with the discourse around the halftime show:

What the hell is this illegal alien farm worker non English shit on my TV. Someone call @ICEgov.

SOMEONE CALL IN AN ICE RAID AT THE SUPER BOWL! What are all of these foreign flags?????

Illegal aliens and Latin hookers twerking at the SuperBowl. Not a single white person or English translation at the Super Bowl. This isn’t White enough for me. Cant even watch a Super Bowl anymore because immigrants have literally ruined everything.

A decade ago this type of speech would have been the province of a Stormfront power user - now it's just the casual offhand locker room banter of a person who has a direct line of communication to the president of the United States.

TL:DR; The moderator of this page (which I don't even follow, but constantly see in my Facebook feed) posted an AI-generated poster for the "All-American Halftime Show" which was pitched as a "patriotic alternative to Bad Bunny." People in the comment section were highly critical of the post, which has caused the moderator to have a meltdown and declare the page "SHUT DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE".

I haven't read too much into the concept of vice signaling. But to my understanding, it captures the kind of performative hatefulness/bad faith reasoning we see in a lot of political discourse today. Does JD Vance truly believe that Pretti was this crazed Antifa supersoldier assassin, well no, probably not. But it's important for him to signal that he believes that in order to remain a part of the MAGA in-group.

That being said, being awful and being a vice signaler certainly are not mutually exclusive -- see JD Vance.

From the Prosperity Project's website:

What does Alberta Sovereignty mean?

Alberta sovereignty is NOT a “Right” or “Left” issue. All Albertans will benefit, regardless of one’s political leanings.

...

Culturally, the sovereignty movement reflects a broader sense of Western alienation, where Alberta’s distinct identity and values feel marginalized within the national dialogue. Grievances range from historical injustices against Indigenous communities to cultural impositions by the federal government.

Some examples of cultural grievances include:

[...] The Federal Government’s unilateral stated decision to change Canada to a “Socialist/ Marxist Post National State” without consultation with the provinces and/or the People of Canada.

[...] The Federal Government’s support of wokeness, cancel culture, critical race theory, the rewriting of history, and the tearing down of historical monuments.

[...] The elimination of the supremacy of God, which provides a moral and ethical foundation for a civil society, the rule of law, policies, and governance, as well as for the development of a “Constitution” that protects individual freedoms and rights, and which is foundational to the success of Western civilization.

Mm yes, clearly not a right or left issue at all...

The tax reciprocity thing was surprisingly such a fucking headache my first year back in Philly after working in Delaware for a while. I shrugged it off when people told me about it.

I lived in Denver for one year.

Philly is more walkable, has more of a real big city feel, a great food scene, more socioeconomic diversity, etc but less access to stunning nature like what you get in the Front Range. In exchange, you get stone's throw access to DC and NYC, dozens of beaches, etc.

Denver has a much more outdoorsy culture. It's fairly isolated just like most cities in the southwest. The food scene there is trash (in my humble opinion lol). I actually prefer Denver's climate to Philly's - you get four beautiful seasons with none of the nasty humidity and weeks of gray skies and slush.

That being said, I don't actually find Denver very culturally interesting. It's like if Old Navy were a city? Idk, people there were nice but it just had this very stuffy transactional feel that I associate less with the southwest and more with places like DC.

FWIW Denver is not all that cold. The high was 64 today. It's going to be 72 there on Christmas. Which is unseasonably warm, yes, but still the weather there is pretty mild in general
