Weather guy. Lives in Pittsburgh. Father of two amazing young women.
I mean it could be that people slashed their luxury home prices to move out faster. But I never believed in this effect in the first place myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s pretty good.
not the top-voted reply, but this is a hilarious way to troll white people

The CURRENT recycling level is around 5 percent. What you posted said tech has been developed. Developing tech to getting it commonplace can take months, years, and most of the time takes multiple years if it’s ever economically viable in first place. www.futuretracker.com/post/electri...

They weren’t just ‘found’ to be racially biased. Officials during the process made clear in communications they were going to do this based on race. It was the one safety rail this very Supreme Court said they weren’t ok with passing…. No way decision is the same if it was other side.

Old enough to remember when the phone company provided a book… often times with half the pages yellow… that listed names, phone numbers, and your address. They’d just throw it on your driveway every year for free and you didn’t even need to ask. 🤪
NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

From what you highlighted it was Bradley who gave the order for the second strike to comply with the ‘kill them all’ order. This is why you DO NOT comply with clearly illegal orders. It would seem Bradley was also rewarded with a promotion for doing this. He may end up in jail though.
Important: WaPo is doubling down on its reporting on Trump's bombings, asserting expressly that the second strike was ordered "when" the two survivors were "detected."

Hegseth is suggesting he didn't see the survivors, but the question remains: Were they visible, or not? Time to see the video.

To say that 2-4 inches of snow won’t have a significant impact falling during a rush hour is just odd to me no matter where you live.

Snow will be out of here by 10a today. We are on pace to see the 2 - 4 inches we thought we would see. #Pittsburgh #KDKA #weather #PAwx

I held out. I really did. But kids talk. That’s the problem. They talk.
Time for my annual PSA to new parents: do not start Elf on a Shelf. Not only should we not be indoctrinating our children into our surveillance state more than we already have to, you are signing yourself up for like 12 years or more of AN ENTIRE DECEMBER JOB

I love how they start the story out with the Pitt women’s volleyball team. www.espn.com/college-spor...
How a bald coach solved volleyball's ponytail predicament
The NCAA volleyball tournament will feature dozens of stars wearing a hair-tie solution invented by none other than three-time champion Jerritt Elliott.

Can you imagine trying to argue what you did is ‘not illegal’ and then the very thing you admit to doing is listed as the ‘clear’ example under the law you say you didn’t break? 😅
Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Love this. It’s also the reason temps were a good 5-10 degrees cooler to south than everywhere else.
This morning's cloud drama - sunshine to the south of the city, cloud-covered to the north... but not for long. That approaching cloudbreak is pretty remarkable as the sunshine approaches.

It's looking dry for both Pitt Football today & Steelers on Sunday. Snow tonight though. #Pittsburgh #KDKA #weather #PAwx

Among other travesties in this statement, National Guard soldiers are not "law enforcement"
REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there

PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

I always say this. If things are going so well why the need to lie about it? Stand on just your record shouldn’t be tough if you’re doing a good job.
When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

It’ll be the warmest through at least the middle of December and it’s not going to be close. 🥶
today is the warmest day for at least a week and a half, according to @rsmiley.bsky.social, so much as i’d rather “absolutely not, it’s Thanksgiving Eve”, i’m coffee-ing up and getting on the ladder w/in the hour 😓

Temperatures steadily drop today. Wind speeds pick up this evening with lake effect snow expected on Thanksgiving. More on the impact to you right here. #Pittsburgh #KDKA #weather #PAwx
