Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 11hThe first Google hit - and main references on the search for "Change My Mind" - is a country song. Where's his lawsuit against that? Have to say I'm glad it's been months since I've had to think of Crowder. 020
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 19hIt's certainly notable that Bolduc is crossing his party, but Pappas should be embarrassed to highlight an election-denier - endorsement or not. Let Bolduc say whatever the hell he wants, but don't lend him any legitimacy. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a... 010

Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Legality, ethics & optics aside, a party controlling the White House & two chambers could pass it now, aim for sending the $ out in mid- to late-October & say "Look what we've done for you." Instead, it's "Do something for us after we've wrecked the economy and we promise we'll actually do this." 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I want to rep hockey during my walk as my kid has soccer practice, but I don't want to yuck up my Pens gear with sweat. So, this is the choice tonight. 100

Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Last month, I had a layover in Montreal and spent a night in a hotel. It was fun to drive by the local NAPA Pièces D'Auto. 000

Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 16/06/2026My 82-0 team absolutely is better than my 81-1 team. And now that's the end of that distraction. 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 05/06/2026This was unexpected with late-career Bourque on the blueline. I'm going to be obsessed trying to avenge that sole defeat. Game on! 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 03/06/2026If you want blood, you got it! (My kid is prepping for a stop-motion video. I'm not sure what else is part of the story.] 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 02/06/2026Nah. These aren't "kid" influencers. These are parents monetizing their kids' activities. I highly doubt kids are seeking out "kid fitness" videos, especially those with a kid as young as 10. 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 29/05/2026I've been thinking about re-watching his guest appearance in "Better Call Saul." I love that episode. 0261
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Here is the dramatic background on display at the polling place where I'm working today. I'm not sure of the show. #Vote 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 18/05/2026By the way, this audit was done by Pennsylvania's auditor general, Timothy DeFoor, who is a Republican. 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Second-to-last row. As my grandfather would say, "What are they doing? Taking us back outside?" May the Fourth be with you. (A few hours early.) 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Hail of a time at my kid's soccer match today. Welcome to Pittsburgh in May. 020
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 21/04/2026I really, really hate these alternate Pens jerseys for the home playoff games. 100
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Recently spent a week in Arizona. Really needed the break, the unplugging from the news and the amazing scenery. For example, here's the view from a Chipotle in Sedona. (Intended to go to a, um, nice restaurant, but could only snag a 30-minute parking spot.) 010
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 14/04/2026This is the rub. It's never going to be 2000 again for newspapers. But it's better to retain & revise the Post-Gazette than to lose it entirely -- and dump more skilled journalists out of the industry. 100
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 25/03/2026My Dancing Vincent Vega pin fell off my backpack the other day, so I freaked and took off my Frankenstein and Itchy and Scratchy (and Pens) pins. Trying to figure out where to pin them now so they're less exposed to bus hijinks. 100
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Enjoyed "Project Hail Mary" after finishing the book the other night. They did a good job with the adaptation while offering several good lines for Ryland Grace (and others). A visual treat and a really fun movie. 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 13/02/2026I'm officially at the "Dad Shirt" phase in which I'm basically buying the same shirts over and over again. At least I'm thrifting and not paying full price. 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 12/02/2026As an ex-print reporter who has watched newsrooms contract b/c the ad & classified $$ collapsed, I think news folks long underestimated how TV news trained ppl for "news should be free." I knew lots of ppl 20 yrs ago who watched local news but never bought a paper. www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/most... 000
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 10/02/2026The 9-year-old has an opinion about the quality of the milk purchased two days ago. 010
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 08/02/2026So, I just realized one of my grandfathers had been in the U.S. for 16 years before he became a citizen in 1954. He was almost 17 when he arrived. By then, he was a married homeowner with two kids. Not sure I ever knew how long it took. Hits a hell of a lot differently these days. #PathToCitizenship 001

Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 24/01/2026We all know there are miserable people like this. It's just amazing that they advertise and offer permission to be a terrible person. 010
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 21/01/2026I'm old enough - and I ain't that old - to remember news headlines in 2009 questioning if Obama was "overexposed" in the first year of his presidency. We have a generation that only knows Obama, Trump & Biden as president - and Biden rarely drove the news cycle. Effective pols steer attention. 0172
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 19/01/2026So, social media served me up a coupon to see a Kevin James movie for free if I buy a ticket for a date. The cost of my time is too high to have to watch Kevin James. (Even with the delightful Alyson Hannigan in the cast.) No thanks. 110
Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Hmmm. By default, I guess DeFede is the main character of "The Day the World Came to Town." (I haven't seen "Come From Away.") I've never been an author, but I've been a journalist. That's a better fit than what I started yesterday, "Born a Crime." No interest in being a comedian or TV/pod host. 010

Chris Foreman @4maninforms.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Hmmm. A slop site uninterested in advertising? 100
