The City of Philadelphia’s annual employee satisfaction survey was released last week. This was also released last week. They may or may not be related. I leave that to you, dear reader, to decide.
I really want Philly elected officials to get behind this kind of thinking on how to streamline the permitting for this kind of stuff. Hopefully, "safer, cleaner, greener" is more than just a campaign slogan.
"The administration wants to spend $9 million on safer streets over the next six years — a sharp drop from Mayor Jim Kenney’s budgeted $15 million over six years. Last year, Kenney spent $2.5 million, compared to Parker’s proposed $1 million for 2025."
It grinds my gears that we couldn't defund the police. Why can the city defund life-saving measures like Vision Zero, but we can only ever increase the amount of money set aside for unaccountable murderers?
Microsoft is apparently releasing an AI assistant to help you write AI prompts. Which just makes me think of the classroom scene in Real Genius where the recording of the professor is being recorded by a bunch of tape recorders.
