Name a city that exceeded expectations upon your first visit. I’ll start with Pittsburgh. I knew PNC Park would be awesome. I did not realize Pittsburgh the city is also fucking awesome.

I’d hope that in the afterlife every Karen who wants to “speak to the manager” receives Earl Weaver.

What this country really needs right now is a good Cannonball Run.

To state the obvious, the reason more GOP than Dem incumbents are forced to compete against each other in the new maps is that rural PA has lost pop since 2010. Rural PA regions currently have disproportionate reps/capita. Changing that isn't a power grab it's literally the law🤷‍♀️

Today’s reminder that the GOP members of Congress who advised or encouraged Trump, Meadows and others to reject electoral votes were themselves elected in the same election on the same ballots under the same state and federal election laws.

Dec 15 1974 While in NYC recording their Toys In The Attic LP, the Aerosmith guys get REALLY HIGH & go to see Young Frankenstein in a theatre. In the film, Marty Feldman tells Gene Wilder to: "Walk This Way." Aerosmith had been working on a song that needed a title. "DING"

ICYMI -- House Democrats tried to end School Property Taxes in Pennsylvania yesterday. House Republicans unanimously voted FOR School Property Taxes and to force seniors out of their homes and make it even harder for younger people to get their piece of the American Dream.
#PAHouse Republicans just voted unanimously AGAINST eliminating School Property Taxes in Pennsylvania. Again -- they talk and talk, but the GOP refuses to actually HELP homeowners.

While I have plenty more images of the Geminid meteor showers to share, this star trail image from today might be one of my new favorite shots of #Pittsburgh. This is a stacked image of 396 individual shots over an hour & a half, featuring two distinct meteors. How cool is that?

Talk about an unexpectedly beautiful sunrise in #Pittsburgh today. The sky was pretty much completely clear earlier in the morning, but then about 15 minutes before sunrise this was the scene. Color in every part of the sky, calm rivers, a glowing city...I mean what a view.

Today in 1983, you put a five dollar bill in this sweet bastard and then strutted over to Donkey Kong like you owned the goddamn arcade.
