From movies to clothes to ice cream, Americans have a nearly infinite number of choices in our everyday lives. Why not in our elections? @arminsamii.bsky.social of @endpacorruption.bsky.social explains how #RankedChoiceVoting gives voters more choice on @citycastpgh.bsky.social ⬇️

No Kings today in Pittsburgh, PA!!!

Well that’s the worst I’ve ever seen

Can Pittsburgh take any credit?

For years, Google Maps was unable to provide me any directions from my saved location "Home" -- I had to type my actual address. Just found out it's because my home address was set to the phrase "Your Saved Location".

Is this what you meant by “billionaires shouldn’t exist”

PedalPGH is a @nextpittsburgh.bsky.social top thing to do this weekend! 🚲 nextpittsburgh.com/events/10-th...

Obama predicted this in 2011

What would Mr Rogers say? youtu.be/fKy7ljRr0AA?...

I paid $250 for a rental car. Hertz charged me an extra $6 when I returned the car. I asked why. They said that's just the way it is. I asked why their website lied about the total. I sent them a receipt for $250. Reader, I got my $6 back. And 200 points.

PBS support, more options: 2. Donate to local stations. Our mother station for NewsHour is give.weta.org/page/11241/d... 3. Or (bigger $s) join Friends of @Newshour . pbs.org/newshour/sup... Don't want to be hitting you with funding requests - but as ppl are asking, I want to be honest.

PBS hello. Thank you for those sending good thoughts for PBS and esp. @NewsHour. It means the world. We're as determined to ever. If interested, yes, we could use support: 1. EASY one - let's build. Folo me - @LisaD. Folo @pbsnews.org Repost this.

A liberal Minnesota politician was murdered along with her husband and another was shot along with his wife by a right wing anti-abortion psycho and I haven’t seen 1/100th the coverage that Luigi, a man with severely muddled politics, received for shooting a healthcare executive

Had tickets to see the PSO play Lord of the Rings, but came down with a cold. Watching it at home with my emotional support sword instead.

oh no, elon musk banned my "baby musk" twitter account

Look ma, I was on Fox5 NY explaining why voters should use all five of their rankings in the upcoming RCV primary www.fox5ny.com/video/1657644

People on nextdoor are upset that residential parking permits will cost $40/year. I hope each of them are also upset that PRT is proposing $0.25/ride rate increases.

As the person who held this person’s head till the EMS arrived, I sincerely hope this makes the city’s crash report

Bicyclist was just doored on Butler St. He dipped in and out of consciousness before being taken by the ambulance. The police decided not to show up because “the biker left the scene.” In an ambulance. This is why our city crash data sucks — nothing is reported. 2023 had more than five crashes.

A train that lets you see out the front? Cool! Fund SEPTA!

Just now at Pride: “One last call for Mr. Corey O’Connor to come up to the stage” Was that Gainey calling out O’Connor for not showing up?? 

PSA to tech companies: if you have a bug that costs me money, I _will_ escalate until I get my money back.

Got a letter from the IRS saying I didn’t pay my taxes and they’re charging me interest. I have another letter confirming I did pay. I can’t contact them online and their phone lines keep refusing my call for this issue. Thanks, DOGE.

Went from having seen zero Mission Impossibles to having seen five. They just keep getting better. The first two were comically bad, and now MI6 has 98% on IMDB. Can’t wait to see what crazy thing they come up with to end the world!

Thank you, @gaineyformayor.com. What an honor to fight beside you for a kinder, more equitable city. It wasn't our night. But today we get up and keep doing the work to protect and uplift our most vulnerable residents and build a Pittsburgh for all.

Gainey wins back huge ground between mail-in votes and first batch of in-person votes. First photo: mail-in only Second photo: current results

Tony Moreno just came into our voting place and started screaming praise. Literally screaming. It scared us and voters.

Yeah, he really said that:

When I called on AT&T as a vendor, the AT&T employee couldn't let us buy him a cup of coffee. From the vending machine.

"Once I saw O’Connor’s ad claiming credit, I felt obligated to be transparent with the people of Pittsburgh: He didn’t lead on paid leave, he nearly derailed it." triblive.com/opinion/lett...

Come find me in DC tomorrow!

Wishing the bicyclist a quick recovery ♥️

Microwave popcorn always says to not use the popcorn button, but I just used the popcorn button and nothing caught on fire?

What’s next? Turkish cats? Pakistani rugs?

One of the most compelling takes I've seen on the upcoming Pittsburgh Mayoral election. Shared with permission from a post by the parent of a PPS highschool student.

350,000 runners and spectators came to Pittsburgh for the marathon today. Many of them chose to rely on public transit instead of drive…and the T never showed up. This is such an embarrassment to our region. I heard from runners who waited 45 minutes for transit before spending a fortune on an Uber.

Highly recommend canvassing for Mayor Gainey in the rain. Everybody is home! So many conversations!

Peek a Boo! I wish there was a better way to park these trucks here

Ranked Choice Voting would make Pittsburgh’s mayoral race more fair. My letter to the editor: triblive.com/opinion/lett...

PhD Timeline xkcd.com/3081

Every once and a while, I get bummed and think about how big of an impact The Confluence would be making in Pittsburgh right now if it hadn't been canceled. The discussions with mayoral candidates outside of contentious debates, interviews with heads of museums whose funding is being cut, and more.

This is the funniest thing to me: His opponent dared him to go on a walk and show him where he built affordable housing. He’s on that walk, and his opponent is at home tweeting <<no fair you’re just campaigning>>. Like, yeah, what did you think would happen?

May I once again suggest: ranked choice voting would speed up this process

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
