An engineering marvel is taking place right before our eyes in Pittsburgh. PennDOT is sliding the new Commercial St. Bridge into place and

Jay Leno says he hosted the Tonight Show for 22 years and never touched one paycheck from it

‘My rule since I got two jobs when I was a kid: I’d bank one and spend the other, so as the highest paid man in the late night I lived entirely off my weekend stand up gigs’

‘150-200 shows a year and banked every NBC check untouched, no financial advisor no manger taking cut no debt on the 180 car garage’

‘I always assume the TV thing could end tomorrow’

[Ryan Deto @RyanDeto]

GOOD NEWS: The Commercial Street Bridge slid into place yesterday without a hitch, which means the Parkway East has a chance to open about a week early, PennDOT officials.

My first win since my dad passed. I don’t like to talk about it much, but the last two months have been really tough. I’m missing my crew chief, my driver coach, my dad, the guy who I looked up to more anyone. I know he would be proud the way I ran the top (much better than him lol) to win my first Micro A-Main at Port City. We love and miss you so much dad.💚

NO MORE CHANGING CLOCKS? ⏰
The House of Representatives will vote this week on making Daylight Saving Time permanent. If it passes the House, it would then need to be approved by the Senate before going to the President to be signed into law. Basically sunrise and sunset times would be shifted an hour ahead from November - March. We wouldn't Spring Forward or Fall Back ever again. Shown below would be the new sunrise and sunset times in December. Thoughts?

Merril Hoge on Mike McCarthy impact: “Not only as I watch it, but I asked players, I’m like, ‘What’s the difference here?’ There’s just so much detail. There’s so many things that are detailed and then that we understand and that are not left to mystery. The development there’s all different areas of practice where we’re developing, we’re working and building. And we needed somebody with that type of seasoning, understanding.” #Steelers #NFL

It was time for a change.

[Steelers Depot 7⃣ @Steelersdepot]

Joe Haden on looseness under Mike Tomlin: “When I got to Pittsburgh, it was years and years into Coach Tomlin being there, and the one thing that I could see where you needed a new voice [was] the accountability, Everything needs to be tight. There was a looseness that was going around. That looseness is a reason where errors come in…If star players were doing certain things, you just gotta nip it in the bud ... Things like meetings, late stuff… When the vet leeway is getting to a point where it turns [into] almost blatant disrespect to where your team is seeing stuff like, ‘We can’t be moving like this as a team, vet aside.’ When you get a new coach in there, he’s not rocking. You set that standard from the T.J. Watts to the Ben Roethlisbergers to anybody on the team where there’s no leeway for nobody.” #Steelers #NFL

(1/2) Last week, PA State Trooper Michael Pahira tragically died in the line of duty when he was struck by a tractor-trailer driven by an illegal immigrant.

To honor his memory, @SenatorArgall will introduce legislation that I support to designate Exit 119 on I-81 in his name.

Another fantastic Brentwood PA July 4th parade today! Great to see so many kids and families out celebrating America’s 250th! 🍬🇺🇸

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

Great to join Sports Pittsburgh today as we announced the Formula One Powerboat National Championship will return to Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers in July 2027

Happy 250th Anniversary to the greatest country in the world. Lest we forget, without America’s Veterans, America simply wouldn’t exist. All gave some. Some, gave all. God Bless America.
