I saw the @pgh-scanner.com post a few days ago about a fire in Bloomfield, but didn't realize it was the Savini residence. If you've ever been really scared sitting in a movie theater, it was very likely because of Tom. Please help if you can. 🙏🧟🧌
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 3d agoTom Savini is a fucking legend. And he lost everything. His home. His beloved pets. His life's work - work that served as the foundation of the horror we hold most dear. There isn't the character count to list his legacy here.

She speaks for the trees: Meet Lisa Ceoffe, Pittsburgh’s chief forester
While Pittsburgh officials pondered parking, promotions and public safety ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft in April, Lisa Ceoffe fixated on something else entirely — trees. Specifically, the ones to be cleared for the massive draft stage outside Acrisure Stadium on the North Shore. As Pittsburgh’s chief forester, Ceoffe oversees

I'm writing to oppose this rule change, which would cut the public out of decisions about how the Forest Service manages the land we all rely on.
[Put here what forest you personally connect with and describe what you do there and why you want to be included in decisions on that land]
Forest Service Manuals and Handbooks set the rules for grazing allotments, timber sales, mining exploration, and land-use planning on the ground. They shouldn't be treated as advisory texts.
Rolling back comment access on directive changes removes one of the only tools the public has to catch bad decisions before they're locked in. Changes to a Forest Service Handbook can shape everything from mining review to trail access and the public deserves a say in that.
I'm asking the Forest Service to withdraw this proposal and keep directive changes, Manual and Handbook alike, open to public comment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nha4spv3om6bp274j4a3z7gq/bafkreihl6pqdm3zjo47kdvckxpj2kkldliodzrhgqvqm7piyga6oogpbie)
