former @IBMCloud; @_carbondesign, @apple, @NASAAmes. I speak for none of them. Same for Pittsburgh sports and pop music. I speak for none of them either.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Did this happen in Arizona, which is both a 'Constitutional Carry' and a 'Stand Your Ground' state? Someone needs to take them up on those privileges.

Hunter Biden Trashes Democrats He Saw as Betraying His Father

If anyone betrayed his father, it was him, for YEARS, and especially this time last year. I don't give 💩💩 what he has to say at this point.

When your body cannot produce enough Big Macs on its own, you have to supplement by eating them, sometimes daily. But it can be tricky to regulate the amount. This is where the excess Big Macs collect.

18 Thoughts On Trump’s Maybe Iran War No.

Manipulative neocons exploited Trump’s jealous hatred of Obama to convince him to rip up the JCPOA, precisely so we’d arrive at the crossroads we’ve reached today. He’s giving them what they used him for, because he’s exactly the mark they thought he was. www.offmessage.net/p/18-thought...

Or being completely and utterly unqualified.

Suggesting Pete Hegseth is qualified to be DOD chair because he was a major in the National Guard (TYFYS) is like saying I am qualified to replace Tim Cook since I worked there for almost 5 years as a Senior Designer

An absolute favorite Pittsburgh fact - in 1965, Thor repaired his hammer Mjolnir in the steel forges of Pittsburgh.
