For our Friday news roundup, the team hears about student demands at Sewickley Academy; a former lawyer’s five-year federal prison sentence for marijuana distribution; the Warhol docu-series (and the artificial intelligence that replicates his voice); and, finally, some bridge news that doesn’t end in collapse… we hope.
Today’s conversation is powered by local journalism, including:
- Paula Reed Ward has some great background from the Tribune-Review on the antics of former attorney and rapper Daniel Muessig, aka Dos Noun, including the infamous video: https://triblive.com/local/former-pittsburgh-defense-attorney-gets-5-years-in-prison-for-marijuana-distribution/
