Help, I feel bad when my baby is "rude" to his toys.

A reminder - you absolutely should respect the parking chair in this current scenario (snow-nario?). You might be legally allowed to park in a space someone else dug out but don't be surprised if you find your car trapped by re-shoveled snow if you do

Who was responsible for naming Space? Like someone really looked at the vastness and complexity of the universe and said "sure is a lotta space up there. Boom! Named!"

Call your senators even if they are worthless like mine are

Marvelous news! I am glad to see this boost in accessibility for PRT passengers out in Allegheny County! triblive.com/local/pittsb...

I can only hope they learn enough from it to prevent their own cruelty in a way that our peers and predecessors did not

There have been many haunting images from the ICE purges, but the photo of Liam Ramos will be one of those "in every history textbook" photos for future generations to marvel at the cruelty of the past.

I was under prepared for the amount of headbutting I would be on the receiving end of while raising a baby

It should be illegal for babies to have nightmares

Less controversial - E2. Probably my favorite restaurant of all time. I had this carbonara with corn that rocked my world. And Sunday brunch fresh beignets. They still do catering under a different name and we treat ourselves occasionally but it used to be a neighborhood joint

Possibly unpopular Pittsburgh opinion: Salt of the Earth. Kevin Sousa is an absolute blight of a businessman but he can fucking cook and the pgh food scene was just coming to a simmer

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

Pittsburgh Sinkhole Monster, do your thing

This turned out to be a pretty debilitating psoriatic arthritis flare and I wish I had emailed my doctor when I wrote this skeet and not two weeks later when I could barely walk. (Joke aside I have a good rheumatologist who didn't gaslight me at all)

This is an actual "facts don't care about your feelings" situation

"Slackjawed" is such a funny insult. You mean this person isn't holding so much tension in their masseter muscles that it grinds down teeth? Sounds aspirational to me, idk.

Your body is a Wonderland (Tim Burton Version)

Strapping on some knee pads under his cargo shorts for another day of traitorous bootlicking

Oh to be unable to read the news and sleep on a boob

Ended 2025 on a real allegory: the milk I poured to go with dessert had gone bad-not enough to warn me with a smell but enough to make me gag after swallowing a big mouthful. Happy New Year!

Happiness is a bunch of friends breaking into the theme from the Lone Ranger so that your baby will not be screaming in the group photo

Make me do a math problem or conjugate a sentence or something then the bottle pops open.

As the median age of first time parents rises, they're going to need to invent medicine bottles that are both child safe and arthritis friendly.

I need an Atomic Blonde ice bath

Don't tell me toxic masculinity is inevitable - these guys got 100 soldiers to sing "we love him" in 1944

"why does it still smell like poop?" -the post-diaper change nightmare

When I was a teenager, the first night I tried dressing "slutty"*, my friend's mom, who had seen me swim in baggy T-shirts for nearly a decade, looked me up and down and said "good for you" *Reclaimed meaning, non-pejorative

The city of Pittsburgh is a death trap, do not go on the road if you can help it. @cityofpittsburgh.bsky.social

The phase of life when you start sneaking in brain games for dementia prevention into your parents' holiday gifts

Teen Vogue walked so Vanity Fair could run.

When they say there's no money in the budget to replace the plows, remind them that they're planning to spend $86 million to build Cop City

For those who felt the city’s response was inadequate, “They’re right. Plain and simple.” @colinbwilliams.com www.pghcitypaper.com/news-2/infra...

Top 5 new (to me) books of 2025 1. The Murderbot Diaries (I'm lumping them all together) 2. Ring Shout 3. The Fox Wife 4. Nettle & Bone 5. When Among Crows

Got holiday trauma? Let queer comedians talk you through it (badly) at 'No Straight Answers: Holiday Edition' on Thursday, December 18, benefiting the Pittsburgh Equality Center.

If I ever asked to split a funnel cake with you because I "couldn't finish a whole one myself" - I was lying. I can definitely finish a whole one myself.

No matter how much you may wish it, you cannot convince a baby to love playing in the snow

Shout out to my neurodivergent brethren sleeping like curled up t-rexes - get yourselves some wrist braces and sleep in them because that position can contribute to developing carpal tunnel.

I could make cogent points about how many babies, including mine, would suffer or die without formula. I've seen many people make those points better than I can. So in short, FUCKKKKKK THISSSS GUYYYYYYYYYYY

Hey you scrolling late at night. It’s still Bandcamp Friday for A few hours and you can still DO something with your day. I just put out a record of heavy antifascist darkwave. Try it out. seeming.bandcamp.com/album/the-wo...

It's Spotify Wrapped season - a good reminder that if you haven't purchased any music from your top artists, now is a great time to do so. Streaming is convenient but it doesn't pay artists a reasonable wage.

Can we find a balance between "don't comment on other people's bodies" and being able to acknowledge the fact that bodies are not immune to *trends* and trends are entangled with political forces, which may not have our best interests at heart?

You ever have a collection of symptoms so weird and random that it's like....ok yeah the doctor is right to gaslight me about this

If you read this and could share it (I have like seven followers) I’m trying to raise money to keep an amazing first gen student in college! They’re an amazingly talented young artist, and they deserve to finish school. Donating would be a kindness to this amazing kid. gofund.me/f793905c5

@profanity.accountant let's see the data

I, too, am in the Non-Sporting group #nationaldogshow

More than partisanship, our country's deepest divide may be between people who think Thanksgiving dinner should be at dinner time and those who think Thanksgiving dinner should be like.... brunch.
