It bothers me that there’s a generation of people who don’t know the joy of an ice-cold Ecto Cooler.

Pittsburgh Public School football is a vibe.

Any reporter who doesn’t voluntarily surrender their credentials is a shill.

All they do is lie anyway. It’s obviously harder, but you can report accurately and not be in the room.

Don't like the direction the party is headed?

A photo of a football that has been kicked so hard, the seam busted.

My 15yo son, who's played soccer for years, decided he wanted to go out for his high school's football team as a place kicker. We bought this football a month ago...

Let’s fix the broken world we’ve created. And once all the real problems are fixed, we can focus on the pretend problems that exist only to scare boomers, like trans kids playing sports.

Hard drinking is time travel. You drink, then at some point you blackout and wake up some time in the future with no idea how you got there…

Lol. I thought the whole thing was pretty harmless, but I’m from the Midwest where “Old man bar” is a legit genre of bar and a common term that people use as a descriptor. But I get people can get sensitive about things on the internet.

Well I guess that’s that 🤣

I am not exaggerating when I say that it has rained probably 47 or 48 of the last 50 days in #Pittsburgh….

“When’s the last time it wasn’t raining in #Pittsburgh?”

My son is nearly 15 years old.
And every day I wonder if this will be the day
That he chooses not to give me a hug
And tell me he loves me.
Tonight I will go to bed,
Tired. Overworked. Beat down.
But happy
In the knowledge, that today will not be that day.

So…I almost ran over Lisa Loeb near Penn Ave. trying to find parking for Three Rivers Arts Fest in #Pittsburgh…

Full transparency: I only have one job, which is to parse through lots of information so I can make educated and informed decisions that will benefit the people that elected me, and I'm too lazy to do it.

In places like Pittsburgh- which is a topographical nightmare for auto travel- people just didn't move. There's a joke amongst oldtimer Yinzers that if you have to cross a bridge, it's too far away (there are like 400 bridges in Pittsburgh). People stayed in their neighborhoods.

Christ. He's still alive?

My son- he's turning 15 this month- we both got Switches a couple years ago and have just had a blast with them. We probably won't get S2 right away (we are the people that wait a year until the first price drop). But we had so much fun with BOTW and TOTK. Pumped for the people gearing up for S2!

Elite thread.

You know who I want to read more stories about trans issues from? Trans people. If you aren’t dealing with the struggle, I’m not sure your opinion matters much. Lift trans voices and listen to them.

When Tears of the Kingdom came out, there was a similar “release.” My son really wanted it, so after I got out of work at 11:30pm, I went and waited in line. There were probably 75 people in line. 3 had been waiting since 3pm. Everyone else got there around 10:30-11🤣

As a person involved in hiring, a respectful email to the hiring manager asking about the status of the job and to ensure they got your application, I think, would be appropriate.

And when you’re a young adult, you think it’s legit. Because big, respected banks and lenders wouldn’t loan money to people they know can’t pay it back, right? Then you find out they knew damn well what they were doing. And the banks got bailed out, a lot of Americans got screwed.

In 2005ish, I got my first adult job out of college. Sports editor of a three-day-a week paper in rural Colorado. $26K a year salary. Quicken Loans cold called me to tell me I was pre approved for a 325K loan… I didn’t take it, but that shit was predatory AF.

When you’re an air traffic controller, you are forced to retire 56… I think social security age is a perfect cutoff.

Being a guy can be really tough sometimes. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to be treated like a man when you aren’t one. Do you have a mentor-like person at work you might be able to reach out to?

I've basically reached the age where I've become an NPC that spends most its time in and around travel soccer events and desperately trying to keep up with chores.

I left the other place when Elon bought it, although I felt even before that it was more gross than I preferred, but I had a decent following and didn't want to lose it. But eventually I had to get off. I like it here much better!

Right? Every time I knock something off, there's three more things to add. It's like the hydra of to-do lists.
