noise canceling is too good on everything that records sound now. The recorder app needs a setting for when I'm trying to take a recording of the weird sounds my car is making so I can play it for my mechanic

Tenants endure deteriorating conditions as some Allegheny County subsidized properties sit in limbo
Vines have swallowed Patrice Aaron’s back window. They press against the glass from outside her home, blocking nearly all of the sunlight. For the single mother of two, the vines are just one of a handful of health and safety issues inside the Bedford Avenue home in Pittsburgh’s Hill District.

“Universities denounced themselves as complicit in systemic racism.” Well yes, my university for example held the charred bones of Black children killed by Philadelphia police and at least one faculty member was using them to teach forensics so yes, gosh, there was some necessary self-denouncing

Brittany Bloam defeated Pat Catena in the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania House District 45 after weeks of backlash over Catena’s anti-trans campaign mailers.
BREAKING: Brittany Bloam Defeats Pat Catena After Anti-Trans Mailer Controversy
Brittany Bloam appeared headed to victory Tuesday night in the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania House District 45, defeating Allegheny County Council President Pat Catena after weeks of escalating controversy surrounding Catena’s anti-trans campaign mailers. As of publication, unofficial election returns showed Bloam leading Catena with approximately 58% of the vote to Catena’s 41%, according to Allegheny County election results. Additional ballots remained outstanding Tuesday evening, though Bloam’s lead appeared increasingly difficult to overcome. Bloam’s apparent victory follows a bitter and increasingly public primary fight that transformed the District 45 race into one of the most closely watched local Democratic contests in Allegheny County.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
