Finally, some good news in public broadcasting.

Pennsylvania's WPSU will stay on the air after a planned shutdown in 2026.

The Penn State-owned PBS affiliate + NPR station will become part of Philadelphia's WHYY after a "public outcry of support."

I remember a similar cursed elevator at Carnegie Mellon in Doherty (albeit painted powder blue). Whether or not the doors would open and close properly was wagerable.

And yet we somehow continued to play Capture The Flag With Stuff with it.

One year on from this glorious skeet and methinks the Giants continue to instill such bleach-imbibery from Dave

I do think Dave & @spilly.bsky.social need to do a Clorox Cocktail livestream for this upcoming Giants-Boncos [sic] game

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

Read his veto messages here:

As someone who's had pretty much their only truly-spiritual experience of their adult lives at these tunnels, I approve.

I sported one in 1990 when I made the switch from Catholic to public school. Kept until 1993.

I haven't had a feeling like that since the CUETO CUETO CUETO game of 2013. Enjoy the ALCS!

James Franklin looks like he needs an anger translator. Luckily there's a Penn State alumnus who has experience in that.

I've always considered it to be part of the family. Pap Pap worked there when the Atom Smasher was built until he moved up to the new site in Churchill in 1958. I abhor the state that it's in now.

Another WPAFW for the books. What an absolutely amazing event. We completely smashed our charity goals and raised $23,000! So grateful to all the generous fuzzies who make this possible. ;w;

I'm in an Eat'n'Park with 35 furcon staffers.

They just sat Bob Pompeani next to us.

Let's see if we can make him mention us on his next broadcast 😹

Keep in mind when you apply--it's going to be several months before the surgery at minimum. There's a lot of waiting and a bunch of stuff you'll be given to learn about the process as you go through it. It also gives you access to the team to ask questions specifically about you too!

Thanks!

Thank you again for everyone trying to donate a kidney for me.
I don't have any new updates or anything--they're still working through the list and yeah we are really beginning to run out of time. If you're on the fence but would like to try, get started at iggyland.org
Thank you everyone!
