Week in Review: #SEPTApocalypse, hacker poop and Questlove's last laugh

Police say a woman at a Central PA gas station sprayed gasoline on a driver who criticized her for smoking a cigarette while pumping gas. We don’t have a joke for this one, but now we get to run the mugshot again.

SEPTA takes 120 Regional Rail trains out of service following the discovery of a structural defect. And Uber drivers are playing that Bieber song on a loop. So maybe ask if you can work from home?


The head of the Catholic League says Mayor Jim Kenney is "demonstrably un-American in misusing his public office to conduct his personal war on the Catholic Church." “Christ. Fine. I’ll bring back The Roots next year.”
