Crazy: Pittsburgh officials say the building in Uptown that collapsed today had been deemed “structurally intact.” Well, here’s a picture of the building nearly 4 years ago! You can see the roof caving in. It was never fixed! Cc: @KDKA @WTAE @PittsburghPG

“The first thing Dad did when he got fired or quit was take us on a family vacation,” @bethraymer writes. nyti.ms/3oE4gL9
I loved working in a newsroom. The fast paced urgency and common purpose of putting out a story required collaboration. Working with others at desks squeezed side by side was fun! nytimes.com/2023/04/29/opini…

This is one of the coolest things ever. Btw, Latvians seem to play good music.
This is the COOLEST. A Google Earth-type representation of the planet. Every green dot is a radio station. Click any dot to listen in. It’s like cultural teleportation. You could spend hours with this thing… radio.garden
This episode reminds of the time 20 years ago when I quoted a story in the @nytimes to some friends in San Francisco. I quoted the words “mentally retarded” and was told without irony, “You can’t say that.” I was quoting the nytimes. People: Intent is everything.
