If the toilet was in the middle of the room this would be every basement in Pittsburgh.

“An AI scientist, for example, could figure out how the human brain works, or deliver any gene to any cell in the body.” Yeah and a magic pony could shit bricks of 24k gold and piss a highly concentrated solution of pure heroin.

Eat. Drink. Be merry. There are few things in this world I love more than a good hosting.

Boilo Wine Nog Limoncello What’s they the old adage about mixing?

Can I brag about my sock game for a second.

Year old nog. Honestly delicious

This is why I haven’t been around much today. HOUSE PARTY!!!

Boilo’s on. What’s Boilo? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boilo

Happy Boxing Day to the Willard/Kristy household! She found our missing ornaments purchased last summer at the shore. And we both forgot we got this fabulous garland.

So hey, #20 on this Amazon list of new releases in economic history. Like I need yet another obscure metric to obsess on. But I bet a few preorders could push it up a few notches. Just saying… www.amazon.com/gp/new-relea...

This came in the mail today

Early report from Annapolis… ECU people aren’t party people? Pitt fans are having a much better time at armadillos…

People going to the military bowl tomorrow, what's your plan for parking?

#Pitt OH Marina Pezelj has announced she's returning for her sophomore season Pezelj served as a starter the final two months of play. Had 1.60 kills and 1.59 digs per set, while hitting .234 as a member of the All-ACC Freshman team www.instagram.com/p/DSvQnYLiCR...

Randy Bates was a lieutenant in the United Staes Navy, beat cancer and coached some damn good Pitt defenses, to say the least of his football career.

Pitt defensive coordinator Randy Bates will retire after the Military Bowl, the program announced just now.

Pitt is -10.5 favorite for tomorrow’s game. Given what ECU has lost, I fully expect us to win by a late TD score

Big news and a merry Christmas for trans youth in Pittsburgh. UPMC it’s not too late to do the right thing and resume lifesaving healthcare for trans youth now. Federal judge in Pittsburgh blocks DOJ's invasive trans care subpoena. www.lawdork.com/p/breaking-f...

Closing out a crazy (complimentary) two days with Laurel and Hardy’s March of the Wooden Soldiers.

A beautiful Christmas Eve morning in #pittsburgh today with buildings downtown lit up red and green for the holidays. Sunrise was incredible as well from the West End Overlook, capping off what was a great start to the day.

Well, I had a lot more feelings about the Isabelle Hoppe de-commitment than anticipated, so you all get one more Bandwagoner’s Guide to Pitt Volleyball in your stocking 🎄

This is one of the most "fuck me? FUCK YOU" things I've ever seen

YOU WILL BE VISITED BY THREE SPIRITS

My theory is that the acc got 2 teams in the playoff last year, which bumped teams up a notch in the bowls and they played a much better team and got beat, like ND for all those years. Back to normal this year and the ACC will obviously dominate

I think the phrase "Kavanaugh Stop" has both reached and bothered the Justice

Just like the random lady in Greenville, SC told me she would two weeks ago.

ANOTHER IZZY?

Boom. Pitt has its setter for 2026 in Izzy Starck. #PittBS

IZZY FUCKING STARCK.

Pitt’s Olivia Babcock wins another National Player of the Year Award, this one voted on by members of the volleyball media. Mimi Colyer from Wisconsin and Flormarie Heredia Colon from Miami were the only others to get first-place votes.

This holiday season, I'm reflecting on things like "why does our Amtrak station suck" and "omg am I agreeing with Brandon McGinley...?"

We’ve got a #Pitt is It signal from #Pitt volleyball recruiting coordinator Kellen Petrone

Going to restart this thread here for maximum exposure. I am a digital order. There are more of us than you think. We've already done the leg work to make sure this documentary is available to anyone who needs it for the rest of time because history demands it. It's already everywhere. <Thread>

OKAY HERE’S HOW: PHI wins out through W18 IND beats SF tonight W17: CAR beats SEA, CHI beats SF, ATL beats LAR W18: DET beats CHI, SF beats SEA Will it happen? Almost certainly not — there’s a < 1% chance of these exact results — but the football gods demand chaos and anything can happen

Let the band play Beck!

Final VB coaches pool is in. Pitt ends the season ranked 4. www.avca.org/polls-awards...

While I'm sorry that so many people watched Pitt get swept, these are great numbers for ESPN and NCAA Volleyball (+ proof that you don't need Nebraska playing in order to get over a million viewers)

H2P everyone!

Raise your hand if you saw this coming.

WE OUT HERE HAIL TO PITT

I spot two football jerseys in the crowd at the Giant Center: Jalen Hurts and Ben Sauls.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL RULES

Imagine us having a home playoff game. 7am tailgate, whatever towel they’re giving away still not being available for all fans, the people behind you telling you to sit down. One day it will be ours.

Same smile

And as expected

Awards szn begins
