I shouldn’t have to think this every day about our taxpayer funded gov accounts

Ominous amount of birds downtown last 2 nights...

I do honestly think my phone will make some kind of special new noise

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

very good piece which confirms that weiss is both exceptionally arrogant and totally out of her depth. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Time to ask the real question: is Aaron Rodgers "wife" AI? Because he seems like the type

the schadenfreude is real. and absolutely delicious. (gift link)

We are ready for Monday Night Football here in Allegheny County! Our lunchtime pep rally with Brett Keisel got us warmed up to cheer on the Steelers this evening. Thank you to Oakmont Bakery for the delicious cookies! 🏈 GO STEELERS! 💛🖤

LETTERMAN: “.. CBS News is a wreck. It’s just gone. .. The integrity of CBS News .. has been trampled on, pissed on and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.” @letterman.bsky.social $PSKY youtu.be/CHYksa07oQA?...

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

I've seen this show before

Make it viral.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

With the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette slated to get shut down by their shitty owners, I'm remembering the time the owner's trash didn't get picked up once and he made the paper write about it

Breaking News: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said it would cease operations, signaling the end of a newspaper whose origins date to 1786.

NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026. Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

Are you supposed to make cold plunge competitive? I'm not sure I'm doing this right

I like that the NFL and NHL wanted to expand their fan base, but making pink jerseys did not cut it. NFL stumbled into a very hetero Taylor Swift and Swifties, and the men still were annoyed. NHL is getting gay hockey smut and girls hold signs at the rink that say "KISS"

This would be cringily appalling if it were not so appallingly cringey. Also a junior varsity attempt at being Fox News will not work.

Every story about Bari at CBS is head-in-hands abysmal

I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT

What does it mean when your doctors keep insisting you redo the cognitive exam

T’was the night before New Year’s and all through the town not a creature was stirring and especially not a graphic designer.

The way we need to market this shit is to do what conservatives did for the past 30 years and write books like “The ten forbidden truths you’re not allowed to say on politically correct tv” and then it’s just cities are mostly fine and it’s good to get a flu shot

New York City has a new mayor

Maybe 2026...

I like watching NYE ball drop with Ryan bc i get to explain every random presenter he doesn't know. So far tonight: Rita Ora Gronk Juliana Hough Andy Cohen

I hope some other outlet in town.... maybe not owned by the Blocks? ... can give it a proper send off. It employed a lot of our regional talent!

This is awful. And website ceasing operations effective immediately is insane (per the Trib's reporting). I hope staff and alum get a chance to download their clips. This is decades of our shared story... triblive.com/business/pit...

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Which Tiny Desk made an audio engineer question everything? Which one made a producer want to cry? Touch grass? Look back on the year in Tiny Desk, with the people who make them. n.pr/44PkNO9

Happy Pop-Tarts Bowl Day to all who celebrate

I went back and looked at my story from September on this and saw I'd written "if trends hold Allegheny County will record fewer than 75 homicides this year" and holy fuckin' shit we did way better than that

Can I put up an away message that says "out of office until Monday, you can call me if its a real emergency (an emergency is not something you can Google)" Or is that too bitchy? Bc "how many trees are in Allegheny County?" or whatever slow news week stories people are not my emergency

All we want for Christmas is an "opt out of Al" button on everything.

chat is it good for a republican president to be underwater with white people

Congratulations to Vanity Fair on very effectively turning the page from the Olivia Nuzzi situation

i wonder what this totally brave soul is doing right now

This is embarrassing and insane behavior in the White House.

Are these the same companies that told us the robot could do it?

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television
