As a point of interest, the media outlet linked here, "Pittsburgh Review," is a weird site made up of almost auto-generated stories backed by conservative dark-money. This is pretty close to RTing findings from "Big Penguin Polling."

Official from the White House — Biden to Pittsburgh on Labor Day. He will also go to Milwaukee that day.
This will be his third visit to Pittsburgh as president. Hopefully this one is better than his last one, when the Fern Hollow Bridge collapsed the same morning

Dr. Tiller’s clinic in Wichita was firebombed in 1986; he was shot in both arms in 1993–and still, he persisted in providing abortion care to those who needed it. He was murdered by another anti-abortion extremist.
His memory is a blessing & yesterday’s win is an honor to him.

1/ CW: Holocaust. Since most of you will never visit Erfurt, a short thread on how engineering prowess devoid of humanity can lead to the most evil kinds of technological progress. A warning for all techies. I'll start in the next tweet for those for whom this is too much. ↵

Happy ”H” Day, Pittsburgh!
In 1891, in a federal attempt to unify the ”burg's,” the "H" was removed from the spelling of our city.
But, #OnThisDay in 1911, the ”H” was reinstated after we fought for decades for its restoration.

In the financial world, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve and the interest rate hikes they are about to impose in the name of tamping down inflation. Worth looking back at what that fight against inflation meant to Pittsburgh... 1/? 🧵

JUST IN: The Senate has confirmed Steve Dettelbach as @ATFHQ Director! After seven years without a Senate-confirmed director, the ATF now has a strong leader who can ensure the agency does its job to enforce our gun laws and hold bad actors in the industry accountable.
ALT Confirmed: Steve Dettelbach will become the first Senate-confirmed ATF Director in seven years.

This is my daughter. She just turned 9.
Here is why I would never allow her to play middle or high school sports if we lived in Ohio…

GASP staff reviewed footage from the @BreatheProject Cam & noted fire/heavy smoke emanating from @U_S_Steel's #Clairton Coke Works facility 4/23. We sent this video to @HealthAllegheny for its review & will keep you posted on whether there was an incident at the mill.

We get like a day and a half of clean air before the stench and nation-leading worst air returns to our neighborhoods. What good are regulators if we’re constantly begging them to pay attention to us!?! What is going on, @HealthAllegheny? Are we too sensitive for you?

HEADS UP: There's still a lotta day left but H2S (AKA that rotten egg stench) is so high that exceedances of PA's 24-hour average standard are guaranteed at 2 @HealthAllegheny #airquality monitors. Given ACHD's recent study we gotta ask: This because of you, @U_S_Steel?

I was surprised and disappointed that having excluded many large risks to global Internet operations, the authors promoted one genuinely bad idea about how to carefully break the Internet for a good cause.
