'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.

If you don't live in Pittsburgh, I can't explain to you what a rich, nougat-y fuster of cluck the NFL Draft is going to be when it comes to this city in April. There is no way Pittsburgh is prepared for it. It's going to be a disaster, like eating a bowl of chili and then going on a roller coaster

My dog especially, insuring him woulda saved stacks. All it takes is one blown knee to make the math not math.

Took my cat and my dog to the vet today, and I just want to reiterate my support for pet insurance if you can afford it. We did the thing the finance internet tells you to do (just put the premium money in a savings account instead) and that has been laughable with the cost of vets now.

The Pennsylvania House has passed another bill to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2029 with future hikes tied to inflation 104-95. It now heads to the Republican-controlled state Senate, which has expressed openness to a wage hike but has not yet acted.

Cutting down 100 year old trees for THE DRAFT. Are you fucking kidding me?!? (No disrespect to Mr Smiley for answering the question.) This city is so washed. To hell with everyone who needs to live here and breathe the air!

I was about to go out to Plumline this weekend and put in a nice native blackgum, let me just save my time, money, and effort before they kill some more shit in my yard.

Pittsburgh is absolutely annihilating a bunch of trees in Highland Park today. This city sucks.

I am struggling to understand the extremely muted international response to this. whatever you think of the regime, it is not the regime that is suffering. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

These folks are hella sloppy and aside from how shady her husband seems, I'm curious as to why Lindy West is broke. Or rather, along with how shady her husband seems, I have suspicions re why Lindy West is broke.

I don’t know what to say anymore. Tearful this morning after reading what the U.S. has done to the sick and ill in Cuba: “Late last night, a report came in that patients on ventilators at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital have died.” Trump is running an imperialist necropolitical regime.

Ooooooh and bringing print back! Love this.

Iowa librarians can put their lawyers on hold for now. HF 2309 died in the funnel, but could be tacked on to a tax bill. It would jail librarians for helping kids find books w/o parental consent, an act of gov't overreach & anti-intellectual freedom. archive.ph/XKVnM#select...

Thankful I don't have to feel any kind of way about the US baseball douchebags since the Pirates killed any appreciation for the mlb in me literal decades ago.

Please, God. I cannot shovel anymore this year. Please make it stop.

@pittsburghwater.bsky.social would be nice to know what you're doing on Wellesley and how long my water will be weird.

Not liking and downright disrespecting New Orleans is a character flaw.

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

Actively not wearing my Pitt hat to the brewery to avoid having those conversations today

Hilarious www.wtae.com/article/penn...

The high Monday is 63 and the low is 21 and there's a picture of a cloud with a raindrop, a diamond shape, a snowflake, and a lightning bolt. I don't even know what the little diamond shape means. Chat, is this the apocalypse?

Always a bunch of boring ass pissy Brits in the comments but I low-key love this man and his excellent writing. Maybe they needed an Andy Rooney in their past to learn to appreciate him.

If you have not read How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr I highly recommend it. Incredible how much Americans just don’t get taught about American history

Why are they being decommissioned anyway, the Caribbean is full of American munitions they should be cleaning up. I cannot stand us.

that’s the old part of the Pittsburgh airport. it’s so old that dinosaurs died down there waiting for flights

If James Patterson is co-authoring a book with Mr Beast, who is actually doing the writing? Definitely neither of them.

🚨 FURRY ON THE PITT 🚨

Fetterman's just a gutter racist at this point

Screenshot of the top of staynebby.com 's site with the local jargon n'at. Nice work!

Listened to the QAA on Clavicular and I don't think I understood enough of the vocabulary because I still don't get what Clavicular is.

now generally speaking if i write about being Iranian and then someone cracks a joke about me being a “goat fucker” in response i’d say that person is just an old fashioned racist

Did you know that Pittsburgh has one of the highest densities of union Starbucks stores in the country? CONGRATULATIONS to baristas at the Banksville Plaza store - they just won the 21st union Starbucks in Pittsburgh! ✊🔥

i really love that Julie Andrews is a) still with us and b) still doing this show. i hope they back a brinks truck up to her villa every single season for these voiceovers.

Very interesting slice of Black Oregonian history and finding community in a very hostile place.

@witoldhayes.bsky.social did we cancel this shit when they called everyone back to the office? Cause if not we need to expeditiously.

Just got one of these from Columbia U the other day. I applied in *1999* and didn't enroll there. Who doesn't have my social security number at this point. Also, why are y'all retaining records for so so damn long.

My phone loves going 'remember this amazing memory from 2 years ago' ✨😍 and it's, like, 2 pictures of my dog's half ripped dew claw I took to send to my vet.

When hoteps say goodnight do they say “grand lowerings”?

Also socialists posting growth charts for a company they don't work for suggests that something has gone very wrong somewhere. Who cares man, it's not my responsibility to grow this site and it's not your responsibility to draw people back into Elon's Nazi realm either. What the fuck is going on.

Yearning for the journalists to admit they're addicted to twitter and leave the rest of us alone about it.

The state of the outdoors today...the mud lake that is my yard...the thunderstorm that woke me up at 1 a.m. in February... I am disgusted. This winter is disgusting.

The amount of times I have to stop myself from saying “figure it out” to adults is wild. I extend a lot of grace but baby I need for you to……*whispers* figure it out.
