I did not think I would ever see Pine-Richland flip so dramatically in one election cycle.
I want to thank the local voters who made this possible, and Lissa Geiger Shulman who was just elected to Allegheny County Council and spent the last several years working to fund local school board fights

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).
When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

Remain silent.
Ask “Am I free to go?” If they say yes, walk away. If they say no, say “I am using my right to remain silent”
