Archer 🏹 has already gotten to bark at and chase away a grey squirrel, a black squirrel, a chipmunk and 2 different birds. Far more productive than I've been today.
One of the most misinformed groups in the world has to be people who watch John Oliver religiously, this is one of the better forum posts on the phenomenon of the "comedic-news" segments

Let’s say you work at a Denny’s, everybody in town loves coming to Denny’s but you and the other people who work at and run this Denny’s location all hate the people from your town and want the cool people from three towns over to be the ones coming to your Denny’s
You stop serving Moons Over My Hammy and replace it with a Kale infused porridge because one of the guys who works at the store grew up three towns over and says that’s what they like to eat there. Likewise, you replace the Grand Slam with a Tofu Patty and Chick Peas, and so on.
A couple of travelers from three towns over pass through and love the stuff, it’s great. The newspaper over there does a big write up about how this Denny’s is serving great food, you’re pumped because this is working!
But nobody from your town is coming anymore because they liked the old stuff and really REALLY hate the new stuff, and as the days turn into weeks turn into months not that many people from three towns over are really coming in to eat either as it turns out. Most of them prefer their local boutique restaurants and aren’t really interested in driving all that way to go to a chain restaurant, unusual as it may be, plus they have a low opinion of Denny’s in general to begin with.
You’re losing money hand over fist, nobody’s coming to eat, and then the brand gets bought out by a private equity firm. They take a look at the assets they’ve just bought and see this location would cost them a fortune to leave open, and has a staff who are violently hostile to going back to making normal Denny’s food. They do the only sensible thing they can think of and announce they’re shuttering the location.
Is the private equity firm the bad guy here?
Over the past two years, the Department of Public Works has installed 65 new ADA ramps along county roads!
These ramps aren’t magic, but they are essential to making our communities safer and more accessible for everyone – and not just those with disabilities. They support parents with strollers, individuals using wheelchairs, scooters, or walkers, people recovering from injuries, those carrying heavy items, and even distracted pedestrians.
This work is part of our ongoing commitment to building a county where everyone feels safe, connected, and able to thrive.
Allegheny County set the standard and made history with the first county-level paid parental leave policy in the country.
This victory reflects the power of organizing and advocacy. No parent should have to choose between a paycheck and caring for their newborn. Now it's time to guarantee paid family and medical leave for every worker, in every county, in every state.
