The thing about winning a bag of his old clothes is pretty creepy

Public media in Pittsburgh faces $2.5M annual shortfall after federal cuts WQED and WYEP brace for deficits after CPB slashed funding.

Pittsburgh's public TV and radio stations are facing $2.5 million in annual shortfalls due to Republican-led federal cuts. They have already laid off employees, raised money, and budgets are still coming up short. www.axios.com/local/pittsb...

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

The thing is, I'm actually not remotely interested in having a debate about whether or not starving 2 million people is bad.

There are many things I am willing to have a debate on, but if you aren't super clear on that one then we just don't have anything to say to each other.

Is there anything cool in Erie

I watched the video of the dude after he got out of the hospital. Can’t believe he got out of there alive. This is messed up.

Holy shit

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

This is why people are afraid to share their poetry 🙄

Sucks to not be gay

Yeah but what’s Mike Johnson’s skincare routine

Ex: our music licensing on WYEP and all other public stations? That’s negotiated and paid for through CPB. Will we have the legal ability to play music on the air in 2026? I sure hope so, but it’s crazy stuff like this that is going to upend station budgets and operations. And for no logical reason.

Make no mistake: in addition to damaging NPR and PBS, bill is going to be devastating for local stations. There’s an entire system built around grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and they’re proposing yanking two years of funding that was approved to start in two and a half months.

Fly! Big eyes and only two wings.

Paul McCartney returns to Pittsburgh for the Got Back tour Nov. 11 Some big concert news is here: Paul McCartney will be returning to Pittsburgh for a Nov. 11 show at PPG Paints Arena.

Sir Paul (ya know, McCartney) is playing Pittsburgh this fall www.wyep.org/news-feature...

Yep!

They’re probably just trying to figure out how they can make a liberal grok

The thing I keep thinking about today is accountability. And how we just aren’t going to be able to get out of the many messes we find ourselves in until people at the highest levels of power and influence are finally held accountable for their own actions.

Elon’s stunt at the inauguration wasn’t evidence enough? She had to wait for the bot to make it more explicit?

Where was the Faint/TVOTR show?

I feel like the richest man in the world turning the 8th biggest website on the internet into a full on Nazi AI chatbot should be a bigger news story. Or a news story at all. Oh well, guess I'm wrong

If any vaguely traditional media outlet had done what Grok did today it would be all over. Regulators would come down like a hammer.

Somehow, Grok will end up getting a pass. But this is not a user misbehaving on a channel; it was configured to behave this way by the platform owner.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

I don’t know what kind of iron she’s using but they really look awesome. Did she trim the edges off??

I’m seriously kind of dying

I know I shouldn’t find this as funny as I did but:

Man, people really don’t listen to lyrics do they
