Just woke my ass up as I was falling asleep

title, not much else to say but that

Last night, in trying to boost your reputation, ya just secured a loss in all future elections.

Parents with babies who were jolted awake. They're cursing your name today.

Veterans who have PTSD were woken from their sleep last night surrounded by explosions, unprepared. They're cursing your name today.

Every member of the LGBTQIA+ community that you forcefully removed from the Gayborhood had hypocrisy forced into their faces. They're cursing your name today.

All the taxpayers waking up to the fact that it cost $15m dollars for a show that occurred when most of the City was asleep, after they couldn't send their kids to school in May and June due to HVAC issues, which would cost $100m to fix. They're cursing your name today.

Ya really fucked up. Great job!

I've got a 2016 MacBook Pro with some issues. I'm not looking for a standard repair shop. I need somewhere that does non-warranty mods, since this thing is way past AppleCare. I want to bump up the RAM and maybe touch a few other components that aren't standard Apple builds. Anyone know a shop or an independent tech in the area who does this kind of work? Looking for services in Philadelphia or trusted mail-in services.

If you're still thinking about coming down, don't. They shut it down early due to too many people passing out from the heat.

Honestly, fuck you. This is absolutely ridiculous. I went to schuylkill River park at 8 pm to picnic for the fireworks. Was it early? Yes. But I wanted to relax and watch the fireworks. I was sitting outside in the rain for over an hour with an umbrella because I thought the fireworks were gonna be at midnight. I gave it an extra hour and a half and still no fireworks. Ended up going home. Got wet for nothing. I get you spent and extra $15m for no reason, but you could have least had the fireworks go off on time. 2:45 is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when the original time was 8pm, then moved to 12pm. My tax money went towards you ego jerk off party and I didn't even get to see the fireworks because it was THREE HOURS LATE!!! Fuck you Cherelle. I'm sure you suburban buddies love you, but everyone that actually lives in the city hates your guts. Get fucked.

Edit: I was pretty drunk when I wrote this last night, so that's why it's a little ranty. just to be clear, I'm not mad it rained. I was expecting it. I went to the park to have a picnic before the fireworks and I knew it was going to rain. that's my fault/choice. what I AM pissed about is that Cherelle had access to the weather reports and didn't do anything. both with cancelling the parade last minute and the fact that fireworks were supposed to be at 12 and it stopped raining at 11:30, but they were pushed back 3 hours. even that doesn't really piss me off too much. what really pisses me off is how much extra of our tax dollars she spent on this and it still went like that. and really, this isn't even about the fireworks. it's just a rant about how she treats the people that live in the city and how our country has disappointed me in so many ways. this was just something that I could complain about. thanks for reading haha.

Here I am peacefully sleeping, waking up to a firework show at almost 3 AM???? Not trying to be a negative Nancy but that's pretty lame

I stayed up to 1:30 to half the songs cut off midway?

Im an old white guy and not that easily offended, but frankly fuck you. This is awful

Who here was at the “F the 4th” protest at the SE corner of Washington Square and 6th Street?StatusCoup news covered it.

Police arrived and arrests happened. Is there actually a clear line between peacefully protesting and disturbing the peace? What was the scene like beyond the lens of that one camera?

It’s supposed to rain shortly and the rain forecast said it’s gonna last until midnight.

It’s my fave time of the year bc I loveee fireworks. Do you think they’ll cancel or just postpone them?
