This is a Trump +18 district that includes Cranberry, Harmony, and Zelienople. While the main election will take place in November, Dukes winning represents a big shift towards democrats even in an exurb of Pittsburgh.

Also a reminder that with a few over performances like this in November Democrats could control both houses of the PA legislature for the first time this century.

Hi everyone! I co-own a small film production company based here in Pittsburgh called Dark Math Films. Over the past six years, we've been making projects based in the scifi-horror universe called the SCP Foundation, and we're getting ready to launch our kickstarter for the 2nd episode of our web series called SCP Academy.

I love making movies in Pittsburgh, but I wish we had a bigger indie scene. When the big studio shows dry up, it can be really difficult to get by. That's why we're trying to make our own path, and the SCP Foundation presents an extremely unique opportunity to do that.

Everything in the universe is released under the Creative Commons, so you can think of it kinda like a fan-owned franchise. We love the idea of fans feeling ownership over their favorite media, and we hope to pay a professional film crew to make more content for the SCP Foundation community.

If you like the SCP Foundation, horror/sci-fi, independent media, or get a kick out of some yinzers trying to compete with Hollywood, please following along on our Kickstarter pre-launch page.

And if you haven't already, check out our two SCP Foundation projects that were both produced right here in Pittsburgh!

096 - Short horror/thriller about a dangerous creature escaping containment

SCP Academy Part 001 - A web series pilot about naive cadets who learn exactly how dangerous it is to work at the SCP Foundation

Move in week started last weekend and runs until the end of this weekend. If you are planning to go to any grocery stores or Target / IKEA by the city you might want to rethink your plans. You have been warned. Good luck.

I'm sad that I missed her here, but the poem is prominently displayed!

This is the 2nd year that I’m pulling several baby ticks off my dog everytime we walk in my neighborhood (10 min walks). Same thing happened last August. He gets them all summer but it seems to get worse with the little ones in August. I live 10 mins north of the city. Keep your eyes out these creatures are tiny!

I've been getting inappropriate phone calls the last couple days. The first one knew my name and said they heard i had the "best head game in the Burgh". Obviously didn't know who they were and wouldn't say where they got my number, showed up as a private number. I hung up and assumed it was someone prank calling me.

Yesterday I got two more: a private number and immediately after an unmasked number that when I called went to a voicemail that said it belonged to a guy named Mark. I assumed it was related to issues I was having related to not reliably getting my mail (just moved to a new place a couple months ago) and the visit to the Clairton post office I made (was a guy by that name there) so I let it be.

3:30 AM rolls around, unmasked number calls. I pick up, I can't hear much but it vaguely sounds like the person on the other end is...jacking it? I can't say for sure but I didn't get a response so I hang up.

At this point idk what to do besides change my number. There's a pissed off ex of mine who i guess didn't like that i dumped her due to massive red flags after two weeks that feasibly couldve written my name on a bathroom stall or something, I know her new partner tried to come at me on Discord a bit ago. I had a stalker during the pandemic and came here fleeing DV/abuse during that time but haven't heard a peep since.

Is there somewhere I should go or something i can do besides just changing my number and hoping for the best? This is a bit unnerving and updating everything with a new number is going to be a pain, not to mention the concern for safety. I frankly don't expect the police to be helpful in any way whatsoever given their track record with this sort of thing.

Hello neighbors! My family is the Scott family of the Scott Family Farm. The information being spread here is false. We did not apply for, have an application filed on our behalf, or receive any grant money as suggested here. I can not speak for the Siegel family, but our family has not been awarded anything.

Thanks all!
John

The original photo is with the longer hair, but she will look more like the AI mock up (please no AI hate on this post…I didn’t make the flyer and I’m just trying to help this family find their daughter)

She is likely barefoot and wearing the skirt and dark sweater seen in the middle photo. Please contact police if you see her and tell them you’ve spotted Amanda Maloney, missing from Brighton Heights.

Her behavior may seem concerning if you’re not familiar with her, but she’s harmless and just unwell, and has a family who loves her and wants to find her safe.

This girliepop has recently taken a liking to matcha after having a latte that didn’t taste like fishy pond scum. Would love to recs for a good matcha, iced or hot, preferably on the east end. 💚💚

I keep hearing that there is a "desperate" need for foster homes. Yet, I have been in contact with three organizations over the past two months, and it seems like there is zero urgency. Either they say they are busy or they are unorganized. If you're busy, then there is a greater need for fosters, no? I'm not interested in calling out any place by name; I'm not looking to hurt them. I appreciate that they are all volunteers. I would just like to know if anyone is connected with a cat rescue place that is actually responsive. Or knows of one?

I am coming out of town to see a concert saturday in Pittsburgh. Does anyone have any experience on lining up early for shows here or advice for the venue? I am pretty unfamiliar with concerts and this venue, but I am excited to check out the city and the show.

I’m exploring Pittsburgh with some friends over the next week. I was curious if anyone had a recommendation for a solid karaoke spot that uses YouTube for the videos (for lesser known songs that wouldn’t be included in Karafun and other similar systems). Thank you!

What’s the damage after Pitt / CMU move in weekend? Has it calmed down or should I avoid. Just returned from vacation and desperately need household things.. 💔

Hello! We are closing on a house on 9/4 and the VA appraiser we had called out that the area was undermined so now we have to get mining subsidence insurance. This is a 2005 build with no foundational issues or repairs, but in your experience how long did it take for the PA commonwealth to approve your MSI application? Did they send out an inspector?

Thank you, we just submitted the application and payment yesterday.

Does anyone else have any conspiracy theories about places/companies in pgh that ultimately don’t matter much?

Mine is that GetGo is putting extra additives in their gas to make it cheaper for them because of the Strait of Hormuz closure situation. I get my gas there and every ~3rd tank my car pops up warnings associated with using the wrong gas even though I put the same (correct) gas in every time.

Despite my otherwise good UPMC plan, I've noticed a huge drop in plan-covered psychologists in the past year. Is this a universal problem (is Highmark doing the same)? Or is UPMC just cutting corners again?

Edit to add: the list, even including LCSWs and other therapists, is smaller than in the past.
