🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Going bald is ruff, so I did something about it!

Yup. Brian Rust is your new milkshake messiah.

Put a mechanical menace in charge of this house's fine wines? Forsooth!!

Not saying that the color will make you go faster, but I saw an absolute beauty dark green sutra with brown tape and saddle.

A map of Europe titled “High-speed rail plan” showing future high-speed train connections and travel times. Green lines represent future new connections, and magenta lines represent future train travel times. Major cities are marked with circles and connected by these lines. Examples of travel times include: Lisbon–Madrid (3h), Paris–Brussels (1h15), Paris–Rome (6h), Berlin–Warsaw (4h15), Berlin–Prague (2h30), Berlin–Vienna (4h30), Berlin–Budapest (6h15), Berlin–Stockholm (4h), Riga–Tallinn (1h45), Vilnius–Riga (2h), Sofia–Athens (6h). The map includes the EC logo in the bottom right corner.

We’re launching a bold plan to make high-speed rail the fastest, more sustainable way to travel across Europe by 2040.

It’s a concrete timeline to remove bottlenecks, unlock investment, and harmonise rail systems ⬇️

It feels like they're getting pushed up from Panther Hollow because of the construction.

Now the expensive condos being built across the street from Ruggers make more sense.

This is the cheapest way to be a 'big candy' house. Leave three boxes of these in a bowl on the front stoop—end the night with three boxes.

It's been over a month since Speaker Johnson has brought the House back into session.

Our jobs can't get done if he won't bring us back.

Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for too long. We must negotiate a bill to protect healthcare & reopen the government. Folks are hurting.

When the FBI arrested Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups, the basketball-watching public turned to sports media to help make sense of the story. What explanations were on offer? Before disclosing its own BetMGM partnership, The Athletic called “all of sports” complicit in the scandal. Bill Simmons dismissed the episode as ”a couple bad apples,” growing pains typical of a growth industry. Zach Lowe had ESPN's betting guy on his podcast; together they concluded that these issues can be tinkered out of existence by limiting prop bets and changing how teams report injuries. Lowe's podcast, like Simmons's, began with a FanDuel ad. The takeover of sports media by gambling companies imposes hard boundaries on the domain of these conversations. Most importantly, these captured discussions always obscure the social and political choices that enable the gambling industry to entrench itself. Allowing people to gamble on their phones and allowing sports gambling companies to spend untold sums on lobbying and advertising are choices. These choices, not some law of nature, are why millions of people have started gambling in recent years. Likewise, other sports media companies have chosen to offer up their audiences as prey to gambling outfits. Defector has chosen something else: We never have and never will take money from gambling companies. Subscribers fund our operations, which allows us to remain independent, critical, and uncompromised. Consider making that choice.

NBA media is not built to cover a gambling scandal, but Defector is: defector.com/products

The art of the endline is what separates content from top tier influencing.

I hear there's an unforeseen grit to it.

OMG. You should have seen the Ohio/EMU game. The field was painted gray. The players wore black/white jerseys and green helmets. The whole thing looked like an 80s cherry 7up commercial.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

Folks: Because Republicans in Washington are holding up funding, LIHEAP funding will not be available until at least December 3. We are actively monitoring the situation and urging our leaders to get to the table and get a deal done and drive out necessary funding to PA's families.

Key quote from the great Lewis Mumford in 1955 — “Adding car lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.”
