While you're all here, if you want to read some actual journalism, this is the second story in my series about the collapse of the mental health care system in Pennsylvania. I'm really proud of it.
What happened to PA's promise of community mental health care
After a period of psychiatric hospital closures and investment in community support, Pennsylvania has shifted focus to the most restrictive care possible.

I was going to make a soccer tweet, but I see it will be lost in a sea of game 7 tweets. Either way, hope the Hounds can win these penalties.

No disrespect to the older USWNT midfielders, but at least on Thursday, they lacked the dynamism of these younger players. Love the early Moultrie brace!

Drove over to Columbus yesterday for Cartoon Crossroads, and I had a blast. I had books signed by Charles Burns and Derf.

kind of nuts how many comics cried about censorship when asked to stop demonizing trans people... wonder where all the champions of free speech are, now that their peers are muzzled by the federal government for hurting the president's feelings.

I’ve been biting my tongue all week, but it’s not sitting well with me that a large contingent of the Pittsburgh comics community is spending the weekend honoring the legacy of a sex pest who decided to victimize his accusers in his suicide note.

I set my alarm to wake up and watch the women’s Merseyside derby, but it appears someone at ESPN+ didn’t set theirs. I assumed Friday was a fluke, how is this still happening @espn.com?
