    Philly basically has a Crisco line item in the annual budget to grease the streetlights when the teams win big, but big government is no match for this guy at Broad & Locust who just casually catches a Twisted Tea from 15 feet up like he was born for this (vid via a source)

    A laptop and USB devices were stolen sometime this week from the Philadelphia’s elections storage warehouse. I went over this morning to check out the security situation. I was able to walk right into the voting machine storage unit, alone, for several minutes.

    My friend was at a bar in Old City yesterday when this beefy dude stopped at a table outside, emptied two 5 hour energy shots into two bottles of Muscle Milk and then walked away, presumably to commit an aggravated assault. Visit Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia, PA — The feds got "Tony Meatballs."

    Saturday night in Philadelphia. A mass shooting on 4th & South Street with reports of nearly a dozen people shot. I’m on scene where police have cordoned off the popular weekend strip, a trail of what appears to be blood snaking along the sidewalk in front of a Rita’s Water Ice.

    City Commissioners told me this morning the stolen devices have been disabled & they do not compromise the integrity of the Nov. election. When this video ends, I ran into an staffer who told me press can’t be in the building. I told him the door was open & I announced my name.

    Good time to mention that the Philly guy with the full-sleeve Ben Simmons tattoo managed to get a fairly impressive cover up done a few weeks ago!

    JUST IN: In response to the theft & my subsequent reporting from the warehouse, @PhillyMayor is ramping up security: - Increased guards at the site 24/7 - Adding round-the-clock police presence - a new logging procedure for entering/exiting the building

    This is the outside of the storage warehouse where the theft took place. I didn’t see any security cameras outside or in the building.

    Happening now: Progressive Jewish groups and other pro-Palestine demonstrators in Philly descend on U.S. Sen. John Fetterman’s office for second week in a row to demand a ceasefire in Gaza — this time shutting down Chestnut Street and deploying an enormous Fetterman puppet.

    Another way to phrase this news is that the entire Philadelphia region's credit card info has possibly been compromised
    #BREAKING: If you used a credit card to pay for something at any WAWA since March 2019, you may consider replacing it. WAWA CEO says they had a major DATA BREACH that was contained Dec 12. More on Action News @6abc

    There’s a man sitting in the door now, more staffers coming in and out of the building. I likely just walked in at a moment where no one is around, but the ease of access was still alarming to me.
