During the U.S. and Israel attack in Iran on Saturday, dozens of people, most of them likely children, were killed when a strike hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab and a high school in Tehran, according to Iranian health officials, state media and a human rights group.

I am going on vacation out of the country for the next week. While my sanity needs the break, I am also really mad because I'm supposed to be getting a bunch of RTK responses back next week and Small Computer Not Good At Datasets Like Big Computer. This is also how I know I need a break.

Read this CBS News producer's whole letter, which @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has posted below this post. It is beautiful. You should read it. You really should read it.

The thing that usually stands out to me when I travel to other countries is how open and vibrant their public spaces feel -- people just hanging out, playing music, serving up arepas and ice cream from carts, just being outside -- and public transit, public transit, public transit.

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

RADKO GUDAS I AM IN YOUR WALLS

I'm working on an investigation right now that involves a lot of info sourced from a CDC department that's basically been shuttered. Everything I'm using has to be found through the Wayback Machine because the Trump administration has wiped it from the CDC's website.

I have a friend who played DIII college hockey, then played in the ECHL (third tier of pro hockey in the US) who described some of his ECHL teammates as "8th grade dropouts who spent 4 years Tindering on a bus" and I have thought about that a lot the last few days!

We found the Trump administration kept about 300 kids at the Dilley detention center for more than a month, despite a long-standing legal settlement that generally limits the time children can be held in detention to 20 days.

LET'S GOOOOO PITTSBURGH'S OWN JASMINE JOOOOONES

Read this story.

Big thunderstorm just started hitting Pittsburgh and based on the radar there's a lot more to come. And my power has already gone out.

I am working very hard today 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Congresswoman Summer Lee announces $1.015M to tackle blight in North Braddock; money will go to purchase heavy demolition equipment and provide job training

New from me for KDKA-TV: a quiet update to Allegheny County's housing code gives the health department a new tool to battle blight.

Police chases are so deadly. I have done multiple stories on the tactic in SWPA. Many departments ban them entirely but are reluctant to make that public info because they say the threat of a chase is a deterrent for suspects. A police chase in SWPA killed an entire family several years ago.

I stopped in to Piper's after the gym to get lunch and only got a glance at the score of the Canada-France game, briefly thought it said 0-2, went "huh," then went "oh that's a NINE" out loud hahahaaha oh Canada And now it's 10-2 lmao

I got called in to the newsroom later but until then I am cramming as much sports as possible into my eyeballs. Gold Zone is truly the greatest thing ever to happen to Olympics broadcast coverage. Love the studio segments, the experts, the graphics, everything.

Time to take all the batteries out of my carbon monoxide detectors and fire up the generator in my living room and @cpsc.gov CAN'T STOP ME

Hey Pittsburghers who have seen a show indoors at Stage AE: what do you do with your coat? Their FAQ says they don't have a coat check; I'm walking there so a coat is non-optional. Do you just wear it and get all hot and sweaty? Do you shove it in a corner and hope no one walks out with it?

The FAA says the El Paso airspace closure was because the military used a laser to shoot down a party balloon. The DOD says there was a cartel drone incursion.

Every time I think I understand curling, something happens and I don't understand curling anymore

That ruled

My Super Bowl party is much more of a Bad Bunny party. I don't think a single person is watching the game other than the person shouting out how much time is left until halftime lmao

I found the store that makes them! You can buy a giant Polish pierogi with a mustache! luft-sklep.pl

Gomez Escalante has heart issues and told his wife he was experiencing severe symptoms while in ICE custody; he hasn't been heard from since Monday when he was taken to a medical facility.

I love hearing from my viewers.

And for all her troubles, the government fired her today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Journalism is a public service and I would be willing to accept paychecks commensurate with those of other public servants such as for example cops

what a godawful day for journalism, following a great many other godawful days for journalism

Man I am not one to complain about the refs but this ref absolutely has it out for the Penguins tonight. Rewarding embellishment after embellishment and there's no way that 3rd Ottawa goal was legit.

I love when I read a Chotiner interview and I can hear the whistling noises as his statements sail over the head of his subject. Like the sound of an incoming mortar shell.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Men, ask any woman -- ANY woman -- how old she was the first time an adult man hit on her, harassed her, hollered at her. I was 10!

so yeah, I was near the front and saw the whole thing unfold. the federal officers opened their garage door, about a dozen marched out, and they started throwing gas and launching flash bangs, etc. not even time for provocation. there was no easy escape, so ppl had to walk thru the gas to get away.

ALERT: US House Judiciary Cmte Democrats seek “immediate arrangements” to view full Epstein files They cite widespread redactions and withholdings by Justice Dept, saying Trump Admin is “strangely” saying it’s complied with law Just filed ===> www.cbsnews.com/news/house-j...

I keep thinking of all the times I've covered protests and stepped off the sidewalk or run ahead of the march or gone somewhere "unapproved" to get a shot, and all the times I HAVEN'T been arrested. The arrests of Lemon and Fort are meant to have a chilling effect on journalists.

President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

QUIT TRYING TO WALK ON THE FROZEN RIVERS PLEASE

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Wind chill is -11 degrees this morning in Pittsburgh. Stay safe out there.

Saw @daniskitchen.bsky.social's question about the City of Pittsburgh suspending trash collection through Sunday & what that means for biweekly recycling. Texted my assignment editor who emailed the City: the answer is sticking to your regular schedule & you have to hold onto a month of recyclables.

Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Dave McCormick is hosting a telephone town hall tonight at 6PM; here's the link to RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Two days ago he called for an investigation into the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

There's already a podcast that does this and it's called Knowledge Fight and by god Dan & Jordan did not sacrifice their sanity to be erased from the discourse

In the foreground, the statue of Mister Rogers that overlooks the city of Pittsburgh. On the left the message, "Mr. Rogers--They're executing the helpers--NOW WHAT?"

About to walk to the bus in the -14F wind chill because my street is still very snowed in. What a week.

Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor is holding a presser right now & says the city went into the storm with 95 salt & plow public works trucks and 37 went down & out of service over the course of the day.

My street & the streets around it are impassable to my little Yaris so I'm gonna hike down and see if Pittsburgh Regional Transit can get me Downtown
