A devastating day in Clairton, PA. One person is dead, two remain missing, and many more are hurt after an explosion at a U.S. Steel facility. The Clairton plant - known as the Clairton Coke Works - makes coke and coke byproducts, which are then used in steel-making.

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! Dungeon Crawler Carl is an absolute delight, and I was so pumped to see @mattdinniman.bsky.social speak on a panel at the Columbus Book Festival on Saturday. His books are blowing up, and it sure seems like it's been a crazy ride! (the books --> hardcover.app/series/dunge...)
