A little behind on posting, so here are some foggy views of #Pittsburgh from a few weeks ago. The fog was amazing how it just sat on the river, giving the city this eerie yet beautiful vibe. Eventually it engulfed the city, but not before I captured these.

I was lucky to get to be a background actor in the Academy Award-winning film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom starring Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman.

In general, Pittsburgh is an accesibility nightmare.

Jesus Christ. I used to work for facilities as a student in the late aughts and would've been happy to fix that for you.

Hey, my college! Good work, Mac.

Also, after bad experiences with employers not understanding cluster headaches, I can and do check the disability box. This very selective data, much like the "too much autism" panic, is likely down to better diagnoses and more awareness of how to help learners.

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

We're out of tech ideas so let's just add Asshole Mode to all products.

One or two folk riding bikes over Blackfriars Bridge on London's cycleway #C6 #CS6 this morning.

More 'vehicles' use the narrow C6 cycle track on the left than on the motorised vehicle lanes on the right.
