&quot;Quit complaining, Pittsburgh used to look like this every day,&quot; blah blah blah. Yes, and people had heart and lung diseases and died at 48. There was literally a condition that doctors called &quot;Pittsburgh lung.&quot; Anyway. https://jaythurber.com/2026/07/16/im-nostalgic-for-breathing/ #wildfireSmoke

Back in the old days, we used to just buy software, and pay one simple invoice, which was an outdated model. Thanks to &quot;software as a service,&quot; things are much better now that I have to PAY A SUBSCRIPTION EVERY MONTH AND LOG INTO F-CKING ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD MULTIPLE F-CKING TIMES EVERY TIME I&#39;M TRYING TO WORK ON A F-CKING PROJECT BEFORE IT WILL AUTHENTICATE F-CK YOU F-CKING ADOBE YOU BLOODSUCKING A--HOLES ARRRRGGGGGHHHH

It&#39;s becoming obvious that most nice, polite American liberals would have pointed at Anne Frank&#39;s attic and told the SS &quot;she&#39;s up there&quot; if it saved them five minutes of mild inconvenience on their way to buy a latte #USpol

I know I&#39;m old, but the fact that Jack Fleming has been dead for 25 years breaks my brain. For kids of my generation, he was the sound of the Steelers and WVU football. #radio #PittsburghSteelers #WVU
