A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

I wonder if there’s a correlation between a city having millions in fucking tax breaks for giant healthcare & tech corporations (who already earn billions in the private sector) and not having enough money to adequately plow & salt the roads when you get half a foot of snow & it’s 8° outside.

I'm not the old man yelling at clouds about city snow removal, but it truly feels like the city of Pittsburgh *added* snow and ice to the streets since Saturday night. My Subaru with decent tires spun out at a couple of lights ffs.

You love to see it.
NEW: LA Times journalists (@latguild.bsky.social) approved a new contract after three years of hard-fought negotiations.

Under the deal, which covers more than 200 Guild members, every newsroom worker will receive a raise of at least $3,000 in the first year.

Today, hundreds of workers at Environmental Defense Fund announced the launch of EDF Together — the largest environmental union in the US. We’re asking EDF to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can begin building a better EDF, together. Learn more: edftogether.org

1,132 days. It’s over.
🚨‼️: This morning, Pittsburgh strikers are back at work!

Today is day 1,132 of the @pghguild.com strike against @post-gazette.com. It’s also presumably the last day of the longest strike in Pittsburgh history.

Bob puts it better here than I can, as I felt like Homer on Smartline many times. We won back our dental plan too, it just took a few extra days.

A reminder that at the beginning of the @pghguild.com strike the Hop Along Cafe was open.

See you next week, @post-gazette.com!

It is completely absurd that this fight (of 3 years ‼️) was even necessary, but when bosses steal, we fight, and we do NOT give up.

So proud of the tenacity, courage and persistence of our Pittsburgh family ✊💪celebrating with you today.
🚨BREAKING: STRIKERS WIN!

The order affirms what we’ve said all along: The PG’s lawless union-busting cannot stand. We made sure it didn’t. We’re taking back what they stole from us. We won this strike.

Can you help us finish this fight and cover bills that’ve piled up over more than 3 years on strike? Donations go directly to striking workers’ families to cover essentials like rent, groceries and emergency expenses: www.unionprogress.com/donate/

This win is only possible because supporters near and far stood with us on picket lines, called out our bad bosses and gave generously so we could feed our families and keep a roof over our heads.

We’ve always been doing this for the community we strive to serve. That’s you.

Unlike the many previous rulings in our favor against the PG, the 3rd Circuit has enforcement power.

1118 days. We fought, we won. What else is there to say. 🫡
BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

please listen to the union’s calls to action when a company does something illegal and retaliatory to its employees instead of just blindly canceling or boycotting the company because someone craving engagement told you to do so

Shrinking PiratesFest to one day makes sense considering the Parrot didn’t even bother coming to day two last year and we were stuck with the Comcast remote.

Tomorrow, our unfair labor practice strike against @post-gazette.com marks it's third full year. Three years of fighting the most lawless union-busting campaign can be tiring, but we're never going to quit fighting.
