The Venetoulis Institute for Local Journalism (@thebaltimorebanner.com) has begun its ownership of the @post-gazette.com by cutting at least 40% of staff, and 80% of former strikers. It is sad, vindictive, and does not bode well for what we’ve fought and hoped for, including the success of the PG.

Flyers, PLEASE score!

Go Flyers! Kick some butt and grab that playoff berth.

Happening tonight: My son Tyler McAndrew will be talking about his published book of short stories at Evening House Books, 523 Main St., in Buffalo at 7:30 pm April 9. His book is "My Prisoner and Other Stories."

The reffing in the Flyers v Red Wings game is a joke.

Next week, we'll be hosting @tyler-m.bsky.social for a short reading, Q&A and chat! “Heartbreaking and at times unrelenting in its humanity, My Prisoner and Other Stories offers an empathetic look at the violence and tenderness within everyday existence.” —Thao Thai, author of Banyan Moon

I'm with the #1 Sabres fan waiting for the puck drop. Joelle will be the one yelling "Let's go, Buffalo" throughout the game in Section 319.
