Pittsburgh's streets are getting safer! Crash totals have reached their lowest level in decades, including crashes with injuries (down 41% since 2015) according to PennDOT data. @bikepgh.bsky.social credits the city's push for more street safety projects.

man its such a bummer Pittsburgh pulled out so much of its historic urban rail to give full room to cars, city was uniquely set to have some great public rail transportation if only it had a big old federal government grant. really needed here as the tough terrain makes biking a harder sell.

This is speculation but I think that some journalists feel a need to backfill credentials into people who are in high positions of power in order to justify why they’re in the position and reaffirm their belief in meritocracy. You see the same thing with “rich people must be geniuses” thought

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

There’s a recent piece —maybe on wire cutter? About a journalist who wore one of the new AI enabled all day recorders. It records your every conversation & transcribes it all day. I just want you to know that once basic social trust is broken in this way? It’s over

Thinking about Glen Benton from the band Deicide who branded an inverted cross on his forehead and told everyone he was going to kill himself at 33 to be the opposite of Jesus and then he didn’t do it and instead had to pick his sons up from school with a big ass upside down cross on his head

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

I know that they’re trying to be even-handed and that an article can’t capture everything, but I really think scientists and proponents of mRNA vaccines should be more ruthless in their assessment of how fucking stupid and small-minded it is to oppose these breakthroughs

Sending this out again for anyone in Pittsburgh who lost their NEA grant last week, or is fighting for their NSF money, or who is being RIF'd from their fed job, or who wants to tell an investigative journalist anything, really. You can be anonymized and you will be protected.

Should go without saying, but this is indefensible, full stop. All the arguments defending it amount to collective punishment. Nothing, nothing, nothing can justify this, ever, anywhere, at all.

An example of what I mean when I say everyday consumer interactions for basic needs are hostile. A utility company services 8 million ppl in my state. They changed payment platforms. Just changed. Every customer has to create a new account, Re-enter payment info, set up billing, auto draft
