Oh yeah. I guess I should introduce myself too!
I’m Allen (Ellie) and I love everything Pittsburgh! From sports to politics to food to beer to (insert niche Pittsburgh thing here). You might also get some sicko CFB and video game stuff on here too! I’m a whole smorgasbord of topics!

The "first they came..." poem gets quoted and quoted and quoted and quoted and you know what, we do in fact know who they're coming for first, right now, and that is trans people, and the answer needs to be "absolutely the fuck not, you motherfuckers," full stop.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block
I guess I'm too woke because I find the proliferation of this really off-putting and gross. The fact that it's now reached the "enlightened centrists" class is depressing.

Trump has rescinded Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,” which included things like lowering state Medicaid costs for the most expensive therapeutics, reducing Medicare payments for proven drugs, and creating a flat, $2 Medicare copay for generic drugs
Trump’s initial orders reverse Biden on health care costs, protections from discrimination
Trump's executive orders took aim at Biden's priorities, from drug pricing to gender discrimination.

It's especially important to realize that at a time of water shortages contributing to the wildfires in LA, AI uses an absurd amount of water to keep its datacenters cool.
“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

TikTok is wall to wall conspiracy theories and disinformation on the California fires, most aimed at serving the Republican political agenda. Americans are becoming cocooned in bullshit.

everyone should go read the un or amnesty international reports on facebook’s role in the rohingya genocide in myanmar and then decide whether they want to be a part of that platform
I wrote about why Mark Zuckerberg is spectacularly evil in a three-part series here - based in part on my experiences reporting in Myanmar in the early 2010s.

In Southeast Asia in the early 2010s, I watched as Mark Zuckerberg's creation began to destroy Myanmar. Here's why I'm never using Threads.

Republicans love saying the most vile shit imaginable, only to turn around and clutch their pearls the instant a Liberal accurately describes the actions of the GOP

oh my god if the first game of Pitts season is against Rich Rod in Milan I will die.
Jacksonville State coach Rich Rodriguez is in mix for West Virginia job, sources told Action Network. Rodriguez, who was WVU's coach from 2001-07, is not the clear cut favorite but among leading candidates, source said
