Stop saying ‘Fuck Ice’ 👇

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. A man shivers in bed while a smiling lady in a red mask shows off her bandage on her arm. Text: Noses are red Ice packs are blue I'm vaxed so miss me with severe symptoms of flu.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Two lady scientists shrug lackadaisically. Text reads: My love for you can't be explained by science. Just like the new federal vaccine guidelines.

A valentine from Public Health of Seattle and King County. Protesters in Minneapolis wear thick clothes and hold signs of support for immigrant neighbors. Text reads: To the health departments in the Twin Cities: Love unites us. Our hearts are with you.

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

Public comment I just made during today's Pittsburgh City Council meeting.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

Dave Matthews and Tim Ryenolds playing Neil Young’s Ohio last night and ends with some Rage Against the Machine.

Nice

MONKEYTRUCK (2025)

Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! There’s a Pittsburgh reference in S3E8 of Strange New Worlds!

Specifically, there’s a line from someone who has just returned from a very specifically named planet, which leads to the line: “Mitchell brought back sandwiches from Purmantee, with the fries inside the sandwich.”

The libs might just take back the frog 🐸

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Being a brony is crazy.

It’s Up to Us to Protect One Another As Trump sends troops to Chicago, we will continue to investigate and report. Readers have a role to play, too.

Let us be clear: The President of the United States is levying war against American cities and American citizens—and we cannot rely on the other branches of government to save us.

It’s up to us.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

You have the old Pennsylvania plate. We have a new fuck-ugly one with the Liberty Bell. Which, I guess is cool, but I'm from Pittsburgh.

The United States drawn entirely from memory

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death.

But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

"Graphic from the NRA with a red border and dark blue background. White and yellow text states: 'The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms. NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process.' The NRA logo is at the bottom. The tweet caption reads: 'The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.'"

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

That's totally fair. Let me talk to the moderator of the mutual aid group and see if/how they'd like to work around that.

Three vinyl stickers of the game changer loop-de-loop in progress pride, trans, and non-binary colours respectively. The stickers also have the words "we've been here the whole time"

Game Changer pride stickers are out now 🎉 (with massive thanks to @samreich.bsky.social for giving me permission to sell them!)

Are you on the Disabled Pittsburgh Mutual Aid group on Facebook? That would be an AMAZING place to start offering those to folks.

stacked boxes of rapid covid tests

My request for **500** covid rapid tests (to keep them from being destroyed) was delivered while I was on travel!!

I can't wait to start handing them out.

If you're local to Pittsburgh and want a batch, lmk.

(They're are no longer accepting requests for the tests, so I'm glad I jumped on it)

Even better, a voice actor called Zane Schacht acted it out....

USDA wants states to hand over food stamp data, to “validate the accuracy of eligibility, determination and strengthen SNAP and government program integrity”

If that sounds like bs to you, let them know in the link below. So far there are less than 50 comments. And the window closes on the 23rd.
