Pat Catena is running anti-trans attack mailers in a Democratic primary. The Allegheny County Council president targeted Brittany Bloam with MAGA-style rhetoric about “transgender athletes,” “extreme left groups,” and “socialism.”

The Auto(nomous) Body Shop launched the Caravan Fund as a way to help patients cover the costs of reproductive health services ranging from abortion to post-partum care and more...

I do not support [everything in my back yard]. Some of these [projects] are very dumb!

It's $1 for an ear of corn?!? In Pennsylvania? Damn. It's not even like it's imported, they just drove it down the street.

this dude sucks so bad and too bad no one could primary him and he's gonna run away in November because the republicans are running the equivalency of a wet paper bag.

Went there to grab dog treats against my better judgement and some dude was getting arrested out front, pretty sure for drunk driving. It was not yet 2 p.m. This store is never beating the allegations.

Texas Tech PR has done us a favor by actually naming the affliction in this case. How many more young men are silent about this, and how many programs offer vague “personal reasons” rather than name the problem? There is a reckoning due in gambling addiction.

Just saw the Weiner mobile lol! Inbound on 79. The weiners are heading your way Pittsburgh.

Happy NFL Draft hosting day, Pittsburgh!

They put in a new stop without a bench in my neighborhood and people just put chairs there. I thought they might get removed but they haven't. There's been a row of 5 mismatched dining chairs for a few years now. Maybe we should start a guerrilla chair movement.

Prayers up for the hospitality workers. Between the buses running Saturday schedule and the garages charging quadruple, good luck actually getting to work so you can be in the weeds and get yelled at for hours.

Man I miss Rite Aid. The opioid epidemic is obviously terrible but I fail to see how creating a pharmacy shortage in PA and OH is some kind of justice.

We joined many of you in welcoming the PG’s new owners. Then celebrations got cut short. Folks in Baltimore were told our staff is getting halved. The CEO was dodgy on the record re: unions. Will you sign our pledge marking the need for robust staff & a union PG? actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

Who breed ya, Mary?!

Who knows how the draft will go, but everyone calling this a trial run for Pittsburgh hosting the Super Bowl is delulu. Unless they're also calling for a new football stadium.

Elise has legs for ballet but her hands are all jazz.

Today I return to @pghcitypaper.com as managing editor. WE ARE SO BACK

Saw my first bumblebee of the season. 🎶The bees are back in tahn The bees are back, the bees are back 🎶

Sometimes being a girl is mad annoying.

He is teaching her politeness but she is the only one exhibiting any courtesy to the other human beings around that she isn't immediately related to. 🙃

This dad in the grocery store is yelling at his daughter for not talking nicely to her brother when she told him to move. Meanwhile they've been blocking the main produce aisle for several minutes and she is the only one with any awareness of this.

and you can only write $250 of that off on your taxes.

Just got so close to getting run over in a crosswalk at a stop sign that I slapped their fucking driver window with my hand. 💀

BEIRUT (AP) - Israeli strikes hit several dense commercial and residential areas in central Beirut Wednesday afternoon without warning, hours after a ceasefire was announced in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. @apnews.com

Along with passing legislation banning cooperation with ICE, Pittsburgh City Council also passed a resolution to disclose all surveillance technology the city is currently using against citizens.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

An account you're going to want to immediately block if you've ever spoken about kids' right to read No idea who the actual person behind the account is, but they love targeting librarians over on X and they'll likely just be looking to screenshot your posts here for clout (such that it is) there

I accidentally went to a science school for college and I'm horrible at all that, but I have a couple of friends who have now worked on the James Webb and the Artemis project, and holy shit I am so proud of them.

lol the bulwark

Happy Easter from us all at our rescue farm

Today's plumber appointment was real thankfully, but he did tell me I need a new bathtub. Sadness.

This basically happened to me with the plumber two weeks ago except I didn't find out the appointment wasn't real until the plumber didn't show and I made arrangements for my dog to go to daycare.

Some of you are demonstrably insane about Hasan Piker in ways you very obviously aren't about leftist white dudes. Hmmmm. What a surprise.

How did Cuba get here?!? NPR, dawg, what are we doing? Cuba didn't GET HERE, WE'RE DOING THIS TO THEM. Please be serious. Please.

This is the truth!! I remember when there were actual countdowns for when the Olsen twins and when Miley Cirus "became legal".🤢🤢

Any Pittsburgh insiders know why they put that Dick's in the Waterworks? Trying to push out Dunham's? I have never seen a store so big be so consistently empty.

Pitt Baseball did WHAT?!

Time to pass the plate Skybrarians 📚📜

Nike is calling a bunch of shoes gender neutral and labelling them W8 M7/W9 M8/W10 M9 and I'm sorry but that's not how US shoes sizes work? A women's 8 is not a men's 7? So now I don't know how to order shoes from them in my actual size. Can we not just do Euro sizes or something?

With our short cultural memory the Martian feels forever ago, but Andy Weir has always been like this and answered questions this way. He reminds me of a decent number of guys I went to college with who were engineers. Always seemed largely harmless to me.

The lines at BWI are stretching out of the airport and into car drop off area at 7:30 am, and WBAL is providing live coverage crediting ICE for speeding things up. They don't show any ICE agents doing anything, but rest assured, they're the reason things are "better"

Still haven't really figured out how to handle AI at work. If you're in a job that administrates applications or submissions in some way (grants, admission, publishing, etc.), this last year has probably been hell.

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

The governor is a goofy and the bill is dumb but the trad weirdos are inadvertently right about cursive. Kids that don't know cursive can't read historical primary source documents. Lolololol to making it about signing checks though.

'Burgh residents who observe: The springtime yard debris pickup has been moved up a week to avoid the following week's NFL draft chaos here. I fear that people who are disconnected will miss this message so tell your friends, tell your neighbors. Who observe. 😉

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

One of my friends is on probation and barred from Pitt's campus and another friend's kid is on house arrest and facing felony charges for campus protesting. Can't imagine why there hasn't been more of that.

Google Maps had me get off 28N at Harmar to then immediately get back on 28N and my goofy ass did it cause I thought there must be a reason (accident, construction) and nope, there was not.
