I am excited to be back working on stories in the Pittsburgh-area and especially excited to be back @PublicSourcePA where I worked from 2017-22.
Here's a few examples of the kind of work they've been doing that is so unique and essential. /1

There’s a direct domino link from the Immaculate Reception to this conversation occurring
New: Joe Rogan debates NFL legend Terry Bradshaw on whether or not Ivermectin should be taken by humans:
ROGAN: “Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for use in human beings. It’s an anti-parasitic with antiviral properties.”
BRADSHAW: “I used to give Ivermectin to my cattle. It’s a cattle dewormer.”
ROGAN: “It cured me when I had Covid so CNN started attacking me because they wanted everyone vaccinated. They put a green filter over my face to make me look sick.”
BRADSHAW: “I had a brain surgeon recommend Ivermectin to me. I could never rationalize that kind of thinking.”
ROGAN: “It is a dewormer, but it was actually invented for humans. We’re mammals so we have similar medicines. It stops viral replications.”
BRADSHAW: “Is it actually proven though? I wasn’t going to take that no matter what. I’m married to my doctor and she says we’re not taking that.”
ROGAN: “The reason they told people not to take Ivermectin was because they wanted everyone vaccinated so they could make a lot of money. It wasn’t because the vaccine was effective.”

They will always miss the point
They don’t have football clubs that are 140 years old and have been in the community for all that time
They think having the biggest stadium and the most fans is a win. It’s not their fault, you either get it or you don’t
Community note
College football literally has many 100 year old stadiums….

The Pittsburgh-area man who was tackled by police for speaking out against ICE for longer than his alloted 3 minutes...
Well, it turns out surveillance footage shows the police tackled him well before his 3 minutes was up.
