Pitt has a dude called Meat Shop
UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FOOTBALL
MEDIA CONFERENCE

Demetrice McCray
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Press Conference
Pitt 59, Bucknell O
Q. Tell us about the nickname.
DEMETRICE MCCRAY: My nickname, "Meat Shop," I really got it from when I was in high school, I would say my junior year of high school. I already had the name "Meat." So they used to call me "Meat" and "Meathead," and then my coach, he was just like, this guy is unstoppable, like he's really like a 24-7 meat shop, like he's always open.
So that's where I get "Meat Shop" from.

My reasons to cheer for every team in the MLB playoffs: Astros: Hapless bumblers, would feel cursed if they won Braves: idk I had a good time in Atlanta a few years ago Brewers: My number one favs this year; used to live in MKE and have a lot of affection for them Cubs: Maybe it will fix reality?

As if the Las Vegas ballpark wasn't indication enough, MLB has completely dispensed with its sense of obligation to its constituent communities, not to mention the sport itself. It has instead twisted itself into destination tourism packages while being fundamentally afraid of its core product.

after they are finished with trans people, and disabled people, and autistic people, they'll come for adhd people, and go right on through the list. fascism is a fire that cannot be quenched. once everyone is a cishet white male, they'll start burning people for being short, or having webbed toes.

A familiar story for anyone who follows @volts.wtf. “The Chronicle spoke to more than half a dozen grid experts…to try to understand why Texas’s notoriously unreliable grid had a remarkably reliable summer. The answer was unanimous: solar panels and batteries.”

Texas shattered energy demand records this summer. Here's why the grid held up.
Texas repeatedly broke electricity demand records this summer, but ERCOT avoided emergencies as booming solar and battery capacity helped keep the grid stable.
