Pittsburgher, Penn Stater, Reese and Piper's Dad. I will hopefully do less whining about the Pens, Steelers, and Arsenal than I did at the old place. But there will be SOME whining, oh yes.

You can’t tease us with a CHUNKVESTIGATION and leave us with a cliffhanger! What if I’m very HUNGRY and very DRUNK later and find myself in a Wal-Mart? It’s happened before!!

That was the soundtrack to sitting in Damon's House of Ribs, the only place in Pittsburgh with four huge big-screen TVs back in the early 90s, to watch 12 glorious hours of hoops.

Ooh, didn't know she was touring and she'll be in Pittsburgh on the 6th! Tickets are $25, and the fees are...$8.26. Not ideal in any way, but not at a Mafia loan-shark level.

It does feel like a future Democratic Presidential candidate could make hay by saying, β€œI’m tearing down this ugly ballroom, tearing out the Trump patio, and rebuilding the East Wing and Rose Garden. And Trump is gonna pay for all of it.”

It's Republicans who shut the government down, Republicans holding hungry people hostage because they want to slash healthcare spending and leave tens of millions without insurance.

A photo of Piss Jugman, a yellow foam mascot shaped like a plastic bottle that you might, you know, pee in. His belly has the words "PISS JUG MAN" in three lines, though his name is spelled Piss Jugman. He always has an angry expression, with angled semi-circle eyes and a black semi-circle mouth, so he always looks pissed off.

Time to send a real American hero to address the situation.

Duncan Ave and McKnight, corner where McCandless Crossing shopping area is. People in all four sides of the intersection, and lots of people lined up along McKnight.

This shouldn't be a penalty, though if the roles were reversed the penalty would be upheld and the #Arsenal player given a straight red.

A huge #NoKings rally in McCandless, north of Pittsburgh. The main rally is dahntahn, this was just one suburb. Crowd spread out all over the intersection and was down McKnight Road, hundreds of cars honking in support. Makes you proud to be an American.

I don’t know what the Steelers should do with Porter. He won’t stop grabbing guys, and the refs don’t give him that leeway like they do with other corners. It’s gonna torpedo his career if he can’t fix it. #HereWeGo

I worked for an online poker site when this came out and I went to see it by myself and I’m LOVING it and then there’s the poker scenes and I’m like β€œYOU DONT SHOVE YOUR CHIPS LIKE THAT!! YOU CANT TELL THE BET SIZE! AND YOUR CONTINUITY DIRECTOR JUST SHAT HIMSELF!”

β€œI read this FASCINATING longform piece in Colossus about Zeus Techman! He takes a holistic approach to spreadsheets! He’s introducing a new paradigm of broccoli!”

β€œZeus Techman? The Puppy Strangler?”

β€œThe…the what?”

β€œHe strangles puppies! For fun!”

β€œI…Colossus didn’t mention that in the story…”

I’ve started playing chess online again and I’ve lost 5 consecutive games where I reached a position where I was about a 95% favorite to win. If there was a button I could press to destroy the entire universe I’d be mashing it right now.
