I know a lot has happened this year, but I do think we moved on too quickly from the pope throwing a Clipse concert.

I have a question. Are one lane bridges a thing outside Pennsylvania?

I’m talking about little bridges over a stream or something, and a two lane road narrows to one lane over the bridge, so all the cars have to alternate.

I assume this is only a thing here because Pennsylvania is a fake place.

If you too would like the burden of understanding this hed/subbed combo, can’t recommend Wild Faith by @swordsjew.bsky.social enough!

I'm with you!

just wait until the good people of Pittsburgh get wind

i really am going to just show up with pies no one asked for

every thanksgiving i am the pie guy, and this year everyone says no, we've got the pies covered, and what the hell! I am the pie guy!! I bring the pies!!!

Reading this was so cathartic and clarifying. Marisa is a gift.

We've gotta hold the line even when it feels like there's no point.

A lot of people didn’t like the Washington Post journalist who was tortured and dismembered with a bone saw for writing critically about the man sitting next to me

not to be all wow this blew up with it, but i don't have a book deal and i do have two cats to feed, so if you're interested in my work, this is my latest. and if you like it, maybe fork a couple dollars to @spotlightpa.org. :) bsky.app/profile/dtoh...

For a lot of people, in Pennsylvania and in most states, somewhere is jail or prison or something like it.

This, for me, is the point of journalism. I'm trying to explain how the choices of some people with a little bit of power fucked up the lives of people with none. That's it.

They are the result of a lot of tiny choices that may seem like the best one in the moment. Maybe they are. But a promise is a promise, and deviating slowly, incrementally, over time, means that 30 years down the path you're somewhere different.

This story is not sexy. The reporting was really difficult. I had to stare at a lot of badly formatted spreadsheets for a long time. Much to my chagrin, it did not involve any photo shoots. But I think the story is good because, hopefully, it explains that bad things are not inevitable.

What happened to PA's promise of community mental health care After a period of psychiatric hospital closures and investment in community support, Pennsylvania has shifted focus to the most restrictive care possible.

While you're all here, if you want to read some actual journalism, this is the second story in my series about the collapse of the mental health care system in Pennsylvania. I'm really proud of it.

I almost have to admire the complete lack of self-preservation here; either these people truly believe in their own bullshit so much that they think they can blow each other up without taking shrapnel, or they know and don't care as long as they make some money short term. gross shit all around.

I can't be completely sure why, but at bottom, i think this is cormac mccarthy's fault

truly I cannot remember cherished childhood memories, but if a man got fired for being a piece of shit in 2017, I will never forget

I do love when people write books and blogs and you find out just how much of their semi-literate published work was just editing

underrated bit of handwaving in the lizza blog

learning a lot more about Jacob Bernstein than Olivia Nuzzi in this profile, I'll tell you what

not to be the most annoying person alive, but i feel like it's my duty as the only member of my family who is not a nurse to say: you don't have a "v-fib flare-up"

v-fib is just...dying

like, if he did have a v-fib rhythm, he could be shocked back but

extremely weird way to say this

the monstrance!!

recently i've watched a lot of people that i love and respect also fall into despair and desperation at the incompetence of the medical system and the uncaring of society in general, & turn to huckster bullshit cause what else is there. so, i'd like to read it, if that counts for anything.

How an Ohio Youth Treatment Center Tried to End Escalating Violence A year after taking over Mohican Young Star Academy, new owners and leadership face questions from workers, police and neighbors about its direction.

Ohio's largest youth treatment center, a 110-bed facility on the edge of a state forest, has become a locus of chaos over the past year. Kids are hurt and cause hurt. Staff are told not to call 911. Community members are confused and concerned. Stunning work from @brittanyhailer.bsky.social.

hey, my halloween party is saturday is it too late to change my costume to lily allen as smoking nun

i always thought it was a dojo

I regret to report it’s almost certainly Trap Queen.

Opinion | This HBO Mini-Series Gets Rural America Right

gonna be thinking about “a few small beers” for the rest of my life

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.
