Alternate Histories

Thanks!

As the public gets to know this project, Mission HQ feels it important to state our values. In a rare moment of consensus, it is the feeling of the research team that—due to this platform’s character limit—we should let this artwork by @alternatehistories.bsky.social speak for us.

Totally - it’s his time for what is essentially a career award. Also I just don’t see the Academy giving it to Michael B Jordan for…obvious reasons

Certainly the "does Chalamet deserve an Oscar" debate will be forgotten the millisecond that Ethan Hawke wins.

It's hard to imagine it having a lot of staying power (said as a person who also hasn't seen it and probably won't because like, I'm good on White Guys Behaving Badly But They're Such Irresistible Rascals). Uncut Gems already not in the discussion that much and that's only six years old.

the Boring Company is maybe the purest example of the Elon Bullshit

his other companies are all wildly overvalued but they do make actual money, the Boring Company would have collapsed many years ago if his name wasn’t attached

Otis is here to remind you that leashed & well-behaved dogs are always welcome inside the Alternate Histories Studio (we even have treats)! Open every Friday & Saturday 12-5pm for good pups.

I think the Carnegie Museum has some pieces in their collection; not sure if they're on display right now? Can anyone answer this question?

Incredible artwork, incredible life, an incredible loss to Pittsburgh and the world. Thaddeus Mosley has died at age 99 (!) leaving behind an incredible collection of sculptural work; seek them out!

white people will always have more empathy, understanding, and grace for the worst of themselves than for the best of anyone else. it's an inescapable cultural byproduct of white supremacy, but it doesn't actually suck any less to watch them manufacture consent for an obvious antisemite.

looking at the replies to this are unsurprising, yet disappointing to me, as a black person in western pa who watched white liberals insist that fetterman's refusal to apologise for chasing down an unarmed black man with a shotgun wasn't indicative of anything important

It's an extra step but pretty much every song is on Youtube! That's what I do

We have so, so few choices as consumers as to how to spend our money responsibly. This is an easy choice to make and there's a good, cheaper alternative available. Dump Spotify now.

Come on over to Tidal: the sound quality is better, the family plan pricing is great (SIX accounts for $16.99, share that with five friends and you're paying $3.40 a month) and yes there's an app to transfer your playlists.

A reminder that your Spotify subscription pays for this! Maybe today is the day to cancel Spotify!

I’ve danced on stage with Mikhail Baryshnikov

I get a little bit closer

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

The weather is dreary and sad, and so are we! Join us Tomorrow, March 5th as we make our's return to Bottlerocket!

Sing for free and donate to Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank so we can kick the March sads right in the ides.

Signup at 7pm, singing starts at 7:30pm. Come get sad with us.

Just as long as my tax dollars don't go towards funding any teen rec centers or putting lights on at basketball courts

That's totally fair! But I feel like most of the people complaining are in this "I never locked my car in the 1950s/70s/90s" nostalgia whatever that vilifies "today's teens."

Haha seriously! Or just LOCK YOUR CAR!

Folks this is what teens do- I don't even blame them! It is Their Job to root through unlocked cars for cigarettes or spare change they can use to buy cigarettes (or vapes now or whatever). Lock your doors!

Second only to Parking Chair Discourse in this town are people warning each other about teens "breaking into their cars" and then later on they admit the car was unlocked.

I understand that Pittsburgh can have the charm and feel of a small town but WHO DOESN'T LOCK THEIR CAR DOORS?!

💯

Terribly sorry for all the folks who will lose their hard-fought jobs because of this. You all deserve much, much better.
