I don't know if I'm getting rid of my account on the other platform yet, but I figured I'd give this a try.

About me? Born, raised, and live in Pittsburgh, with 20 year in Louisiana and AZ in the mix, too. Love the Pirate (sigh), the Penguins, and Utah HC. Genetically compelled to follow Steelers

Also and again, GOP members of Congress are, by their actions, fine with this.

Pentagon staffers will now need to get prior approval before sharing any information with Congress, according to a new memo from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and his deputy that Axios reviewed.

After leaks, Hegseth limits Pentagon staff's interaction with Congress

The new directive could limit congressional oversight of department activities.

Might as well add two more languages to capture both Mario and Sid's greatness.

Avec ce but, Sidney Crosby récolte son 1896e point (saison régulière et séries combinées) et établit un nouveau record chez les Penguins, battant l'ancienne marque de Mario Lemieux. 👏🐧

Yesterday, Stephen Miller questioned details re 170+ Americans detained by immigration agents.

“Abject lies,” he wrote.

Here’s the thing: We tracked, catalogued, and compiled every one of those 170+ cases.

Because...we do our homework.

Redemption arc doesn't make him a hero for me. Makes him a more interesting character, though.

Are the Pens actually...not bad?

Sid has figured in on 1,896 Pens’ goals, including playoffs. More than any other player in team history.

Sigh...and Coyotes legend Conor Garland scores.

Coyotes represent!

Might not have been the biggest fanbase, but dangit...we are loyal.

Just saw someone use the phrase, "Agnostic Platypus," and I think that might be the best band name ever.

It honestly damages my enjoyment of sports. Drove me crazy all summer when the would put the at-bat odds up during Pirates games. If you are betting in individual at-bats, it might be time to call that 800 number.

Oh, boy.

Sonny, I'd love to hear the reasons.

In exchange, I'll explain why Kai Winn wasn't as bad as she seems in Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

(DS9 is my personal area of deep nerdiness. Of all the Star Trek series, it's the one with the most gray area.)

Sheryl @serenadepa.bsky.social · 11h

Lol...I'm all for thinking he has a redemption arc, because he clearly does. But I can't buy him as the hero.

Granted, I know mainly the core triliogy. I saw some, but not all, of the prequels, sequels, etc.

I'm more of a Star Trek nerd.

Should I be worried I can guess at connections he is making?

(In reality, he clearly got bored with the text they wrote for him and decided to haul out the pet topics.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?
