Pedestrian hit by car in Pitcairn, large police presence responds https://www.wtae.com/article/pennsylvania-crash-pitcairn-broadway-boulevard/71380411

I was in OBX this week and spent lots of time wondering why every business was like Dirty Dick's Smeg Bucket or Barefoot Bob's Guns 'n' Hookers. America is weird

When I was kid if you were a man and knew about moisturizer that meant you were gay. Then in 2003 QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY released and using product made you metrosexual(huge win!). Now straight men "lookmaxx" for other men and gay men get married. Just goes to show you can change the world.

Great new indie record from Tory Silver out next week!

I’ve done an inexplicable thing.

Apparently we won a couple! So proud of the @pghcitypaper.com team for doing quality work in a truly chaotic time.

ACTION Housing's 69th annual meeting highlighted the city's shortfall in homes needed to sustain population growth...

Sorry to miss the Golden Quills tonight. Lots of good Pittsburgh journalism I hope takes home some hardware!

The Pittsburgh Riveters kicked off their season with a commanding victory in front of a sold-out crowd over the weekend. www.pghcitypaper.com/arts-enterta...

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

people on bsky only want one thing, and it goes choo choo

This tiny bunny continues to resist tyranny

Really not a lot of choice in this PA primary next week, but I suppose that offers clarity

It feels good to have an ISBN

Hey guess what: my debut poetry chapbook is officially available for order via Bottlecap Press. It's called The tender violence of an American man, and it's about how masculinity in this country is full of contradictions. Look for a more formal launch this summer.

You're not imagining it. Utility costs in PA are rising quickly.

All events, no paywall. That's the @pghcitypaper.com promise.

@edsecmcmahon.govpeeps.us's job isn’t to say all children "should be" treated equally. Her job is to make sure they actually are. Right now, reality says otherwise. And so did her response. ⬇️

I continue to be disturbed by the sorry state of the Ft. Wayne Bridge in Pittsburgh. This scaffolding has been there for months. Norfolk Southern runs multiple trains across this daily!

There are approximately 2.8 million trans people in the US. That means FOURTEEN PERCENT of American trans people have moved across state lines in the past 18 months.

Allegheny County could soon become the first place in Pennsylvania to mandate paid parental leave.

This is a frustrating but important thread

Fetterman is just Large Manchin:

What is this in the original German

So this is overall good BUT: "Statewide deaths tied to aggressive driving last year were up 31% over 2020 ... Bicyclist deaths across Pennsylvania rose to 28 last year from 19 in 2024." Any local driver/cyclist can confirm these outliers.

(To the tune of "Black Cow" by Steely Dan)

I thought these ones were safer??

Another pro sports expansion, another time Pittsburgh is being passed over.

You could say I'm bullish on print media

PA-14 Dem. Candidate Alan Bradstock says the current environment means he could win even in Pittsburgh's deep-red collar counties...

Distracting myself from SCOTUS doing a Jim Crow by swooning at the new baby bunbun in our yard

I've been signing off on emails as "-C" since time immemorial, but, in an age of people getting better about pronouns and such, I'm finding that some folks read that and think I prefer to go by the initial ("Colin" is good ftr).

Inbox: Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht, first elected as a Democrat in 2015 and retained last year, says in a statement he is "no longer registered within any political party," because "acquiescence to Jew-hatred is now disturbingly common" in the Democratic Party.

Slightly increase a band Darkerthrone

Looking for a new job? We searched through local employment guides to curate a list of the best job openings around Pittsburgh this week, including a Fire Lieutenant, auditions for City Theatre, jobs that are a Shore Thing, and more...

PBF discovered that a "decent" amount of the Brighton Heights neighborhood does not have natural gas service. They think the leak is somewhere between Sherwin Williams and ALCOSAN.

We commend ABC for standing up for itself and the First Amendment. It’s about time outlets start telling Brendan Carr to kick rocks. Otherwise, he’ll continue making bogus pretexts to harass and jawbone licensees that air content his boss doesn’t like.

The Steel City Stonewall Democrats condemn the transphobic mailer sent by “Friends of Pat Catena” from the candidate's home address. We call on Pat Catena, President of Allegheny County Council, to release both a full rejection of the transphobic mailer and a public apology.

They apparently picked today to resurface every street in Pittsburgh

It's gonna take Hungary-style numbers to unfuck the midterms, but $6 gas just might get us there

Absolutely outrageous Virginia Supreme Court invalidated redistricting referendum approved by the voters when voters haven’t been able to weigh in on a single gerrymander passed in red states
