Never in my life have I taken a screenshot so fast.
I can't breathe. My soul has left my earthly body.
Councilman Sam DeMarco, Board of Elections member, Allegheny GOP chair, loudly stating that he doesn't know the difference between a non profit and a political non profit.
I think we need to look into how partisan political organizations such as this are receiving millions of taxpayer dollars. What’s the deal? Politicians award them contracts and money for “civic engagement”, and then those same politicians can expect political support in their next race? Something’s not right here. Why is Pittsburgh City Council allowing this? I’ll also be looking into what Allegheny County spends and with whom.

I soooooo knew this would be this person!!! Educating, illuminating, entertaining! And a National Emmy with your own show?! Thank you for bringing Truth, Humor, and new Insight into Sports Journalism!
The Pivot was nominated for an Emmy, & I couldn’t be more humbled by it. Being nominated last year as a Sport’s Analyst was amazing, and receiving the Emmy was such a blessing.
Now for OUR show to be nominated in the same category with the E60’s, Real Sports’, & other great shows is surreal. It’s a testament to all the people who don’t sleep so our shows can be edited, to the hustle it takes to film each guest, & the belief that this could be something before we truly even knew what the heck we were doing. Thank you to everyone who supported us. We are so grateful.

I love the bigots who are too chickenshit to do anything but post behind a fake name or fake photo in the replies.
True profiles in courage.
When they tell you that Pennsylvania is just Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between -- believe it.

Gracious, I miss him! The way he always called me “Sarah.” And how we would argue about the Steelers. He taught me so much. But what I admired about him most is he was a true scientist when it came to weather. He had a Masters , I think, in meteorology. Yes, he DID say it would!

I want to leave Matthew Perry’s own words here as the way we remember him. There will never be another like him- he lit up so many hearts in so many ways. Godspeed to Paradise!

I know the PG's self-regard is a universal constant, and it can say whatever it wants about the mayor. But comparing its situation to that of WESA minimizes the PG's sins against labor. No one else in town is using scabs and defying federal labor law. That's on you, buddy.

Tina Turner was raw. She was powerful. She was unstoppable. And she was unapologetically herself—speaking and singing her truth through joy and pain; triumph and tragedy. Today we join fans around the world in honoring the Queen of Rock and Roll, and a star whose light will never fade.

There's a South Side storefront advertising an enterprise called "YAMS -- Your Ambition Manifests Success" and after 15 minutes I have figured out how to expand it to "CANDIED YAMS." So it's been a productive morning so far

"It's not lost on me that the Black woman who wrote the column about Black women leaving Pittsburgh is now leaving, too."
Please read @figwidow's goodbye to Pittsburgh, and help me thank her for the work she's done for the city: pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/…

I’m in this southwest flight aka communism airlines and the flight attendant said “it was a pleasure having most of you on this flight” and man, that’s the kind of petty I support 😂
