The AP laid off one of Pennsylvania's most talented, thoughtful and generous reporters in Mark Scolfaro (@houseofbuddy), who always found time to crack a joke or tell a tale on deadline. Mark has made generations of reporters better, and his layoff makes the commonwealth worse.

News you can use!
Max Iheanachor pronounces his own last name. Watch/listen to it. Bookmark it. Commit it to memory. Respect the man and say it right. It’s not particularly difficult.

The ‘burgh (colloquial) = Pittsburgh as a general location
Pitt (never “Pitt University”) = University of Pittsburgh
PIT = Pittsburgh International Airport
The Pitt = HBO medical drama set in Pittsburgh

Making my return to Twitter to say holy shit I love Pittsburgh so much. I’m so glad all these people are here and get to experience this incredible city. Deep in my feels about it 💕

I got to go inside a hospital system’s medical command center at the #NFLdraft to see how patients needing medical attention are tracked. Here’s what I found: post-gazette.com/sports/2026…

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
ALT A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Jacob Frey: I'm the Mayor of Minneapolis. Trump Is Lying to You.
"The Trump administration's false narrative about this week's shooting, and the demonization of the victim, are only part of a bigger lie. It wants the American public to believe that ICE's heavily militarized crackdown across this country is an effort to keep cities like Minneapolis safe. It is not."

R.I.P. to the guy who made working the phones in a newsroom look glamorous and inspired a generation of journos.

Some of you have noticed that I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. @CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story, and because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had no choice but answer their questions honestly. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, but I also believe it was a chance to prove that I mean what I say to the women who have trusted me with theirs. I have to believe that there’s power in telling the truth — and in journalism.

This is the kind of story that only gets published when a good journalist has trusted sources close to the subject and who feel motivated to speak up. Getting anecdotes like those below is hard!
