I was happy to attend yesterday's "You Have the Floor" event in Beechview, facilitated by @publicsource.org. There are several more scheduled around town over the next few days. A wonderful opportunity to connect with neighbors and PGH's journalists to talk about recent issues, local to national.
Well, get writing! What a great idea!
Many thanks to you and your colleagues for facilitating this event, Rich! So great to meet you this afternoon.
Exclusive: Jay Graber is stepping down as head of Bluesky. Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will be the interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found.
Yes, please check them out! An amazing trio of accomplished musicians who also know how to arrange, too!

This is what all big companies should be doing.
Seems that the Alphaville tune itself is very full of life. It spawned this *very* different cover by Swedish band Dirty Loops. DL usually covers much more recent releases. I adore it almost as much as the original, even though it's practically a whole new song.

Oh, look! Yet another manufactured crisis fire drill at the USPS due to poor management by Good Old Boys(TM) with deep conflicts of interest.
I just took action with @usmailnotforsale.bsky.social: Speak out: Protect our Public Post Office. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/speak-... #USPS
#Target, I shopped with you (both brick+mortar and online) for 20+ years and was a huge fan during that time.
It is NOT about sprucing up your stores. Fix your anti - #DEI policies + your cooperation with #ICE, or you'll never see another red cent from me ever again.

This particular secular American cannot WAIT for the Christian Left to call the Christian Right (and Project 2025) on its multi-layered, multi-decade rancid pile of bullshit.
Daydreaming about it now!
Lighting up for Pittsburghs Impeach, Convict and Remove National projection event.

An utter disgrace. At our local Pittsburgh pro-democracy events over the past year, the mention of his name gets boos/jeers just as loud as Trump's. It's so hard to believe that I met him at a postal union HQ here in Pittsburgh when he was a surrogate for the Bernie Sanders campaign. What a fraud.
All in the name of GOP Jesus. 🤬
Why does this administration hate the free market so much?
During the Depression, people scrimped to afford a phone, so he stayed busy w/ installation. The NJ mob wanted a phone -- but didn't want it to be reported to the central office. With a lump in his throat, he told them their phone wouldn't work if the central office didn't know about it ... #awkward
My paternal grandpa worked in insurance. But my maternal gramps, who helped raise me, was one of the Telephone Pioneers of America (i.e., he worked in the US telephone biz before 1920). He started with what would become NJ Bell as a splicer's assistant, climbing poles, with a 7th grade education.
What makes this so perfect is that #47's mindset is so profoundly stuck in the late '70s/early 80s era evoked by this faux-trailer ...

"When I was younger, most people had pretty much the same information diet from mainstream media. It was like eating the most basic meat and potatoes diet or maybe eating fast food – bland, generic, a bit overprocessed, limited in possibilities, but basically safe."

If this had been a female reporter, her outlet would have been called fake news and she would have been called a terrible person, too.
