Lucky day
Happy anniversary
It’s been twenty years since I started blogging, and one year since I got my ’97 Accord beater. (Clip art. The only thing mine has in common with this picture is the color.) I was thinking about this the other day – I don’t think I’ve owned a car this ratty looking in twenty years.
I took it for an oil change this morning (I put oil in some months ago, but didn’t change it because I didn’t do much driving this year). Got some high-mileage oil and my fluids topped off. Slight oil and transmission leak, yadda yadda yadda. At this age, what can you expect?
On the way out, I noticed my tires are looking a little too smooth. Gonna look around and see if I can find some decent used tires., postpone the inevitable. If you have any and you live nearby, hit me up.
In the meantime, from my City of Homes, here’s a story about how so many Philadelphians can’t afford a home anymore. Coming to an urban area near you!

We can all now thank a Syrian refugee for shutting down the Brooklyn subway shooter.
He would indeed be best thanked by tripling the reward money. 😊 https://t.co/XQPfEsbfZb

Spent a lot of time going through this guy's videos. He is a 9/11 truther who ardently supports Putin and is hoping that white people conduct a Holocaust-level genocide against Blacks.
Thanks to @RVAwonk.https://t.co/hJTbpv15WX

February is the worst month of the year and this man is wonderful https://t.co/vV73ZF2Qn4

Thanks for all the very kind words about my report on February. I thought it was just me, but apparently a lot of us feel near to flickering out this month. I avoid all major decisions in February—vacuuming, haircuts, swing dance lessons. The right path will emerge by spring.

The message
The door was required by law to be self-closing but was broken. The space heater was being used in a building with four complaints about lack of heat in 2021. It's owned by a group of investors that includes a company co-founded by a member of Adams' own transition team. https://t.co/k3GFeoY3UM

The police, um, fabricated this story
I’m happy to hear that my fellow citizens aren’t quite as depersonalized as I thought! As Atrios wrote, “Cops lie all the time, journalists dutifully type it up, and no one gets in trouble and few hear the retractions.”
#BREAKING: Passengers didn't sit around and “callously” record video of a rape aboard a SEPTA train for their own gratification without contacting authorities, Delco DA says, reversing police narrative. https://t.co/rvf8pxC3Gv
