(Note: I actually do not follow sports all that closely, so it's perfectly likely that Philly and/or Cleveland is kicking Pittsburgh's ass in a multitude of games.)
Needs no intro, one of the best recent screamo bands from Pittsburgh. Over 2020 quarantine they switched up their sound and reformed into deathcore/metalcore Hazing Over (this time without Alex Welsh on guitar) which also rips just not my go to sound.
Shin Guard released 3 albums and an ep my favorite of which is definitely 2020 (duh) but I’ve lowkey been listening to way more of cerebral lately :)
As Americans, this is a name we have all come to recognize. Carnegie was an incredibly successful industrialist and philanthropist in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
He was born in Dunfermline, Scotland but his family moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when he was a child. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company which he sold to J.P. Morgan for a whopping $300 mill ($10 bill today).
His biggest contributions came after he sold his steel company. He believed that the rich had a duty to improve society so he focused his efforts on building local libraries, world peace, education, and scientific research. He are some of the buildings he funded or had built:
Carnegie Hall
Carnegie Institute of Science
Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Museums
Carnegie was fascinated with dinosaurs. He actually funded the digs at Dinosaur National Monument (yes, that place exists thanks to him).
He was especially proud of Dippy, the first Diplodocus ever discovered.
The species name was actually named for him (Diplodocus carnegii) and the full skeleton stands in Dinosaur Hall today at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Carngie had several copies of the skeleton made and shipped to other museums in South America and Europe.
Carnegie donated over $250,000 to paleontology for "collecting, preparing and studying dinosaur and other vertebrate fossils." If only we had as generous a wealthy benefactor for our site. That is the dream.
While Diplodocus was the most famous dinosaur connected to Carnegie, there was one other fairly famous dinosaur connected to him. You've probably heard of this guy:
The American Museum of Natural History in New York sold the skeleton to Carnegie during WWII when they thought in would be bombed by the Germans. The skeleton has stood in Carnegie's museum ever since.

Hey everyone! I’m looking for new moots & friends in the greater Pittsburgh area! I’m 23 years old, I’ve lived here my whole life and I recently graduated from Penn State main campus. So bc of that & the job market I’m probably gonna be living here for a good bit. I’m bisexual & nonbinary (use she/her & they/them pronouns equally when referring to me). I’m AuDHD (autistic + ADHD) & have depression, anxiety, & PTSD (& possibly CPTSD). I’m also an omnist where I observe multiple deities from hellenism, roman paganism, polish paganism, druidry, irish paganism, and vajrayana buddhism. I also practice witchcraft mainly nature based, pagan deity, & ancestral. My special interests are animals, environmentalism, wildlife conservation, anime, frogs, the ocean, the moon, divination, film, gothic literature, manga, gremlincore, grunge, & squishmallows. I also like to paint terracotta pots for my plants and I just got into crocheting today. :)
