The pics are really not doing it justice — I was driving home tonight and streets were full to the brim, water pooling at each intersection and low point

You’re allowed to log off, maybe for forever if you want to, is what I’m saying

No one is helped or hurt by you being consistently locked in whatever multiple things are unfolding on your screen across the world at the same time — except you, who is hurt by it

Of course, it goes without saying, this is also a slap in the face to the reporters who *just* won their jobs back and will be now be unemployed after fighting so hard. Evil, evil, evil stuff

I will donate to whatever outlet can pick up the slack and hire these reporters again, I hope you will too

For the past few years, the Post-Gazette has been a right-wing paper staffed by scabs. There's good journalism to be done in Western PA (duh) and the city deserves a better outlet to take up the mantle of "paper of record"
