Very cool of McKeesport Little Theater to host this event.
Coincidental phone calls led to a local collaboration between two successful #McKeesport native drag queens, resulting in “Dragsgiving” this Friday at McKeesport Little Theater.

He's not going to pay him anyway
Exclusive: President Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic.
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

This is the whitest thing I've ever seen and I've seen most of the 1960s Walt Disney live action movies

@jimmykimmel.com's reaction to this completely batshit story is going to be on a lot of TV highlight reels for years to come.

It was me. I just bought another Zenith Trans-Oceanic on eBay instead of dropping a grand for an iPhone.

OK, nerds. From the @uaw.org's Facebook page. Do you think you can identify all 14 cars? I hate to brag, but I got 14/14.

(I also didn't have a girlfriend in high school, does it show?)

Josh Shapiro going all-in on the data center/"AI" (sic) scam ought to be disqualifying for a Democratic presidential candidate in 2028, but it probably won't be

Something you should know about me is that when I'm depressed, I've been known to sit and listen to a CD of 1970s game-show music to cheer up.

"Tic Tac Dough" is a banger.

There are legitimate public libraries available and free e-lending options from them. There are used book store networks, like Alibris, which sell out-of-print books for pennies on the dollar.

I grew up very poor and used the library every week. I didn't steal books.
People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”

Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

After 33 years online, I should be used to my work being stolen, but I just looked, and one of my books is up there, too. Unfuckingreal.
