What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a kid?

I really can't wait until we're out of this fucking timeline where every business is a money laundering scheme. If you want to sell salads then sell fucking salads!

The "don't hand your phone to a cop" crowd loves to ignore this fairly critical piece of info about how mDLs work.
As with the existing ID cards in Wallet, using Digital ID does not require you to unlock, hand over, or even show your phone to the requesting entity. For example, at a TSA checkpoint, you’ll double click your phone’s side button to bring up Wallet, then hold it over the scanner as you would for an Apple Pay transaction. The phone will tell you what information is being requested and you’ll have to authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID to then provide that information. Once you’ve set up a Digital ID, it will also be available via Wallet on the Apple Watch as well.

A comic strip showing two men talking. The first man, wearing glasses and a tie, angrily says, “You’re one of those condescending UNIX computer users!” The second man, with a long beard and casual clothes, smirks and replies, “Here’s a nickel, kid. Get yourself a better computer.”

Across the street from Gather, Amtrak is overseeing an extensive renovation of Gray 30th Street Station; several years ago, it tore out its food court with plans to add dining there. An Amtrak spokesperson last week said information about that project was not available.

A four-panel meme in the style of “Calvin and Hobbes.” Panel 1: Calvin’s dad walks in and says, “Doing computers? I’ll show you something.” Calvin sits on the floor looking curious. Panel 2: The dad points to a record player and says, “Every computer thing is either tech or capitalism.” Calvin replies, “Yeah…” Panel 3: The dad continues, “Food delivery? Tech. Mobile apps? Capitalism. Despite being tech, AI is capitalism.” Panel 4: Calvin lies awake in bed, wide-eyed and disturbed, staring into the dark.

It doesn't have to be this way
Alt text: Street view of 3999 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, taken in October 2014. A McDonald’s restaurant with a beige awning and U.S. flag is at the corner, attached to a red brick building with a turret. A SEPTA bus is stopped at the intersection, and several pedestrians are walking along the sidewalk. The street has trolley tracks and parked cars, with trees lining the sidewalk and multi-story buildings visible in the background. Alt text: Street view of the same corner at 3999 Walnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, shown in May 2025. The old McDonald’s building has been replaced by a modern five-story brick structure with large windows. A new McDonald’s occupies the ground floor with updated signage. Pedestrians cross the street and cars drive along Walnut Street, while a SEPTA bus is stopped at the intersection. Trees and newer buildings line the block, giving the area a more contemporary look compared to the 2014 view.

The 6th Street bike lane at Market has to be one of the most dangerous pieces of infrastructure in the city. It’s a suicide lane crossing traffic that’s moving at effectively highway speed and whipping right turns. Creates the illusion of safety by being a bike lane but it’s so so dangerous.
This bike lane design is dangerous. The green bike lane runs straight through the intersection, but a right-turn-only car lane cuts directly across it. This forces drivers and cyclists into the same space at the same time. The dashed section of the bike lane—meant to show where cars merge—actually becomes a conflict zone. Drivers often focus on making their turn and miss cyclists going straight, while cyclists may not realize cars will be crossing their path. The layout creates confusion, blind spots, and split-second decisions that can easily lead to collisions. It’s a setup where one mistake can have serious consequences for anyone on a bike.

The most exciting new business in Fishtown isn't a restaurant on Front or Frankford.

It's fuckin Benito's Ace Hardware on York. I can't wait to get one of their hats.
Two artists on a scissor lift paint a colorful mural on a brick wall reading “Benito’s ACE” surrounded by large yellow, white, and pink flowers with green leaves. They’re smiling at the camera under bright sunlight, with painting supplies visible on the lift. A beige and green baseball cap with “Benito’s ACE Hardware” embroidered on the front, featuring a small yellow flower as the dot over the “i.” A text label reading “Merch Merch Merch” is placed on the brim.
