Dear union stewards. Don’t you fucking dare. Don’t do it.
They look like people who would read that piece and positively share it on Reddit…
It's hard for me to think of two more unlikable sports teams than the 2026 US men's hockey and curling teams. Just two groups of 100% losers.

We at the @postguild.bsky.social are raising money for the hundreds of journalists the Post just laid off. This goes to the people who are hurting, not the Post. Or if you'd rather, go subscribe to an independent journalist. Support is hugely appreciated.

The Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.
Fuck scabs. Yesterday, today, and forever, fuck scabs.
"Call them." "I sent them an email." "It's better to call them." "I also texted them." "Just call them!" "I'll send them another email!"

I didn’t say racist grandma mayor
I liked Pittsburgh better when it wasn’t run by a Baby Boy mayor who will sell the municipal naming rights to any corporation looking to dodge taxes.
See, they’re so Smart™️ they’ve already thought of streaming that podcast straight to Facebook so that the Blocks see it and only slash their pay 3% instead of 8%! Can’t believe I didn’t side with them.
They have budgeted the top 25 restaurants to eat leather at though, they probably even have a big profile on frozen mozzarella sticks in the hopper, so that’s intriguing.

You truly love to see it, folks. #FuckScabs
Some days you read something so bootlickingly hilarious that you actually laugh out loud at the thought of their raw tongues. Today is one of those days.
Their corporate plan is self-funded, they set the rates. There's another group that's on the plan under different rates but they wouldn't even consider that here. They'd rather shut the place down and ignore the courts than give <100 people more affordable health insurance. 🤷♂️
It doesn't get talked about much but we offered at least three separate times, most recently in August 2025, that we'd accept the BCI corporate health insurance plan as long as costs were capped at the court-ordered 2017 CBA rates. They never bothered countering our offers, they just said "no".
Fuck scabs. Yesterday, today, and forever, fuck scabs.
Shoutout to a yinzer neighbor, whom I’ve never met, stopping in the middle of the street to tell my dog and I, “Big fire over there, lotta black smoke.” “Oh damn, where?” “Over there.”
Here's a fantastic list of journalists to never ever hire postgazettescabs.com
NEW: Post-Gazette to shut down 240-year-old paper after SCOTUS slaps down company’s bid to evade court order
“Instead of simply following the law, the owners chose to punish local journalists and the city of Pittsburgh,” said Goldstein, president of @pghguild.com

The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Put Bob Nutting and the Block family on a barge and shove them down the Ohio river
RIP Pittsburgh Post Gazette, you'd rather close than pay your union employees, I guess!
Wednesday, January 7, 2026 Post-Gazette to Publish Final Edition and Cease Operations May 3, 2026 Block Communications, Inc. and the Block family are saddened to announce that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette plans to publish its final edition and cease operations on May 3, 2026. Over the past 20 years, Block Communications has lost more than $350 million in cash operating the Post-Gazette. Despite those efforts, the realities facing local journalism make continued cash losses at this scale no longer sustainable. Recent court decisions would require the Post-Gazette to operate under a 2014 labor contract that imposes on the Post-Gazette outdated and inflexible operational practices unsuited for today’s local journalism. We deeply regret the impact this decision will have on Pittsburgh and the surrounding region. The Block family is proud of the service the Post-Gazette has provided to Pittsburgh for nearly a century and will exit with their dignity intact. ###
NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.
BCI just announced to the staff the closure of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as of May. Unbelievable.
This company wasted who knows how much money to pay a lawyer who clerked for Alito to try and vacate our victory and even that didn’t get it done. Shocking that the workers are right again. Shocking!
Application (25A725) for stay presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied. The order heretofore entered by Justice Alito is vacated.
Post-Gazette, when you can’t even get Alito and this Supreme Court on your side, it’s over. Give us our health insurance back and just hand that CBA back at the same time. 🫳🎤
I’m upset that I know this now.
