The only thing I regret about not using Twitter anymore is not being followed by @barackobama.bsky.social and @npr.org. I won’t rest until I am followed on blue sky by a former president and a public broadcasting network.

“Just give money to people who need it” shouldn’t be a controversial idea, but Philly has been testing it out and it’s making a big difference:
Researchers anticipated their findings would show that cash assistance helped tenants, but "we were surprised by the magnitude of the effects" #giftlink

Philly’s first-in-the-nation experiment giving cash to struggling renters is working, researchers say
Families that got cash rental assistance were less likely to be evicted, experience homelessness, and report having serious problems with their homes, according to a study of the PHLHousing+ program.

This a surprisingly thorough history of the smokiest bar in Philadelphia #giftlink
With McGlinchey’s impending closure, Center City marks the end of an era — or several, really
In McGlinchey's heyday, the dive bar was packed every night with customers clamoring for 80-cent Rolling Rocks and 25-cent hot dogs. Former staffers reflect its legacy as last call looms.
