Yeah I think the third floor was warm but the first floor got down to 65.
When it gets actually cold we close the doors up there so we don’t have to heat it. (There is a secondary furnace on 3 for when we actually use the rooms.)

The furnace is on. I repeat, the furnace is on. This is not a drill.

Just watched Mickey 17! It was really entertaining and the overall themes and plot was way better than I expected. Actually kind of hopeful….

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Nationwide protests against Trump and the rise of fascism are taking place on Saturday, Oct. 18.

You can find a local protest here:

Thanks! I’m not really familiar with Evans City. I have a friend who grew up there when it was pretty rural, but that was more than 40 years ago and 279 really changed everything for that area.

'It can be a loss of life': First responders detail the deadly cost of rural hospital closures Across the country, hospitals are vanishing, and a new wave of Medicaid cuts could accelerate the collapse.

“What’s happened to this part of western Wisconsin is part of a much larger crisis. Across the country, hospitals are vanishing, and a new wave of Medicaid cuts could accelerate the collapse.

President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill slashes nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid funding over the next decade.”

I mean, that might very well be how that family name should be pronounced but that ship has sailed. It’s “woolies” for generations.

Wholey’s.

I think some local newscaster mispronounced it recently (with a silent W) and I was just floored.

Wait, how do they pronounce Sewickley?

Deceptive ads and low turnout mean high stakes for Pa. Supreme Court justices up for retention - Pittsburgh City Paper | News, Dining, Music, Best Of, Arts, Film This election cycle, the stakes are higher, and big players are spending more money and drawing more eyes to get their preferred outcome.

Thank you Rep. Lee!

Lawmakers Demand Information About Potential Use of Paragon Spyware by ICE The lawmakers warned that allowing ICE to use spyware “threatens Americans’ freedom of movement and freedom of speech.”…

We will not allow ICE to operate in the shadows while they surveil us and violate our rights.

Our responsibility is to protect civil liberties, not surrender them. @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, @repyassansari.bsky.social and I are demanding answers about their use of spyware against US citizens.

Michigan Avenue right now.

This was between Cranberry (newly developed, nicer strip malls retail, at the junction of I-79 and I-76) and Evans City (where Night of the Living Dead was filmed in 1968). Suburban with probably a few farms still around.

WATCH: Cow on I-79 causes major traffic backups Sky 4 flew over I-79 near Cranberry Township, where a cow somehow got onto the highway Wednesday.

A cow? On the highway in Pittsburgh.

If only…

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for an eighth day.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

It’s not that weird but I make open face peanut butter and chocolate chip sandwiches.

When I was a kid I used to arrange all the chips point down so they looked like polka dots, but now I really pile them up.

I regret nothing.

Thanks for that. I often wonder how to deal with items I want to repost that don’t have alt text. My default is to like but not repost, but sometimes I forget and sometimes I do the same as you did here.

Screenshot of a Duolingo question for translating Japanese. The English translation is “I eat a small cake every day.” There is a cartoon picture of the Duolingo character Zari, a young woman who dresses in pink and wears a headscarf.

That sounds awesome.

The group behind a misleading mailer targeting the Pa. Supreme Court retention elections The conservative political action committee is closely associated with two other groups urging voters to reject new terms for Supreme Court justices.

A conservative political action committee is behind a mailer, described by one good-government advocate as “incredibly dishonest,” that urges voters to reject new terms for three state Supreme Court justices.
