The murder trial of Justin Mohn will likely end today in Doylestown. Yesterday, in a move even the judge said was uncommon, Mohn gave his own opening statement and unequivocally admitted to shooting and beheading his father:

Good luck taking a train to sporting events in 2026, if SEPTA has its way.

They’re removing the Trenton line, which serves a good chunk of Bucks County and connects the city to NJ Transit rail. And the 9pm curfew for all trains is embarrassing. Good luck going to a Phillies game or to dinner in Center City. Embarrassing attempt to strong arm Harrisburg.
SEPTA board approves budget that will slash nearly half its transit service

.@JeffColeFox29 is one of the greats. An old-school newsman, the caliber of which is increasingly rare in this industry. I always enjoyed our chats amid news conferences and disasters, especially our shared fascination with Hartford. Sad to see him go

“How much space do beautiful, majestic animals need?” More than the cavity between your ears.
Does the federal government really need all this land? I like beavers and elk, but how much space do they need?

Loser mentality. Don’t listen to these nihilists.
Everybody is ignorantly and foolishly living their lives, getting married, buying homes, having babies, planning for 40 years into the future, as if we have any time left.

An update to our story from last night: Investigators found a total of 13 pipe bombs at Kevin Krebs' home in Malvern. His bond in the earlier gun case has been revoked, with a judge ruling he's a danger to the public.

It’s unclear why Kevin Krebs, of Malvern, brought a Sig Sauer handgun, bayonet and pepper spray to Saturday’s protest in West Chester. Prosecutors say their investigation is ongoing.

A Montco judge said Ryan Selleny’s conduct, which included filming himself ejaculating into one of his neighbor’s juice cartons during a break-in, was “perverse” and “sickening.” He was sentenced to 10-60 years in prison.

I watched all of these movies while laid up after major surgery. The first one is leagues ahead of the sequels, in terms of quality. But it really is just a remake of Point Break.
I’m still a sucker for the original Fast & Furious. I don’t think it’s controversial to suggest this is the franchise’s best film. There’s an early ‘00s LA texture/style to the first film that I think holds up super well on rewatch. I wish the franchise would return to its roots.
