The Neo-Colonization of a School District Pt. 3

Under any fascist power structure, controlling resources is equally as important as controlling people. I’d argue that when one controls resources (e.g., economic, intellectual, social, etc.), one controls the people who depend on those resources to survive. According to the Constitution, Congress has the power of the purse, meaning...

SS United States, long docked in Philly, goes under the waves

The formerly Philadelphia-docked SS United States now rests at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Why it matters: So ends the vessel's strange odyssey from the United States' largest ocean liner to Philly landmark to world's largest artificial reef . Driving the news: The controlled sinking began Wednesday afternoon roughly 22 nautical miles southwest of Destin-Fort Walton Beach in the Florida Panhandle. The sinking was slow going and stretched on for hours, but it was all over around 10pm when the ship fully disappeared into the water. Zoom in: The SS United States now joins a smorgasbord of other sunken vessels and artificial reefs for divers to explore off the beach. Plus: The ship's iconic red-white-and-blue smokestacks, as well as radar mast and a massive five-blade propeller were removed before the sinking — all of which will be incorporated into a land-based museum for the ship nearby. 👷 How it works: No explosives were used to sink the ship. Instead, crews strategically placed openings in the ship's hull and underwent a controlled flooding, which allowed it to rest in an upright position on the Gulf floor. Several compartments and lower deck areas that were deemed unsafe were also sealed

Philly Neighborhoods, Matched to Your Actual Life

Philadelphia is a city built out of neighborhoods, not a downtown with suburbs bolted on, which is exactly why picking the right one matters more here than in most cities. Rent is still a relative bargain compared to New York or DC, but the gap between a Rittenhouse high-rise and a rowhouse in South Philly is real, and so is the gap in commute, parking headaches, and whether you’ll actually use the park near your place. Here’s the cheat sheet before you dive in.
