C’mon, UPMC, the NFL is not America. You don’t have to salute the football!

Your occasional reminder that it was #Alaska REPUBLICANS who demanded ranked-choice voting because the far-right party (AIP) kept splitting the vote for governor.
I say this with maximum snark, since I also must confess that I generally think ranked-choice is kinda dumb lol.

Has anyone tried asking the Board of Peace to stop this war?

Kinda glad none of the #Pittsburgh Penguins were on the USA team, now that it's over. That's one cringe saved!

For everyone looking for an IT job, our local transit authority needs a data manager! Manager of Field Data. This is basically working with the data from vehicles, but also doing passenger surveys. This is a very important role at a transit agency. Familiarity with the Pittsburgh transit network is preferred. Check it out!

We can talk about this anywhere else, but in NYC it's not even an issue. Cars do NOT belong in New York City.

I would like to know if there is any relationship to the older Skeletor account at "the bad place." She had been very successful, but it reached the state where Hot Topic was stealing her memes for T-shirts and she vanished. Is this the same artist, or has someone picked up the baton?

Now up! Skylark Duquesne's 2020 #rockopera "Selena and the Lighthouse Keeper: Across the Sea of Showers" (remixed for 24!), we start the story with "Moon Like a Heart".
The Lighthouse Keeper has lost Selena, who was swept up in a fascist takeover of #themoon He vows to fly up to Alpha Dome to find her.
It's a jaunty little #acoustic number with #americana -style slide and bleeping #synths I love the sound of an acoustic guitar over a #Roland808
(E warning: language)
