NYT reporting on Bari Weiss’ pro-MAGA censorship at CBS

I have to return the chompi to the synth library this week 😔. Hope the next member finds where I hid the grimes Coachella set meltdown sample.

I guarantee that 90% of people who would think to say something like “We won the Cold War” are deeply confused about their class position

RFK Jr: “I remember one day in 1987 when I stood in my bathtub and picked 29 ticks off myself”

FWIW the St. John’s wine bar (that may at first glance look a bit bougie) have been genuinely very rad in the discourse and are not engaging in this scapegoating.

Watching Death by Lightening but distracted that Matthew Macfadyen is basically playing succession Tom but 1880s version.

even if you’re sick to death of masking, it might be worth considering we’re truly working without a net at this point, and prevention efforts are your best bet.

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Remember when grimes had a meltdown trying to rekordbox dj at Coachella

Synth Library took over the old Lloyd Center Gap tonight. I’ll miss this era of the half open mall.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

As loved ones suffer from preventable health conditions and die early, expensive deaths, at least the flights to their funerals won’t be as delayed. Maybe.

Apparently I don’t know how Bluesky threads work but padsplit rant pt 2.

I completely missed that our current mayor has been supportive of padsplit coming to pdx. WE NEED TO SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN ASAP.

“I’m federal law enforcement. I’m going through a divorce.” This is the Simpsons “Say the line, Bart” meme.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right. They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus. Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

Just had a good ole fashioned confrontation with the owner of the St John’s bar cart after he said he won’t hire women and “this is a guys bar now”.

DJT stands for Diarrhea Jet Trump

I made a “hanging chad” joke today at a meeting and it was an instant and unanticipated generational divide. and here I am on the other side.

Living in a Decker ass country

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

I measure the health of our economy by checking the retail price of the Shure SM57 microphone

The public servants (PPB) who are dispatched via 911 frequently engage in very similar identity-obfuscation practices. It is time to bar ALL law enforcement from concealing or obfuscating their identities while on the job in Oregon.

Yeah. I think the initial poke-back at the "war-ravaged" frame was important, but now it's time to shift to talking about where resources should *actually* go, which is housing and supporting people's basic needs, not invading, terrorizing, detaining, bombing, and starving people, here and abroad.

am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?

I truly wish I never found this account

I’m watching the Lilith Fair doc and the first commercial break is a Botox ad.

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

and always remember this guy told us to drink bleach.

Shit’s getting real

Growing up in the south, it was drilled into me from childhood to not touch or play with Spanish moss bc it’s crawling with bugs, mites, etc. Doomed from the start.

Things I've been told are deescalatory by officers: Pointing a rifle Pointing a taser Pointing a 40 mm launcher Screaming "I'm going to fucking shoot you" Shooting a taser Shooting a 40 mm launcher Punching a suspect in the face Throwing person to the ground Throwing a flash bang grenade...

The Billy Joel documentary trailer has a voice over that goes “uptown girl, it could have been a Mozart piece.” No offense Billy Joel fans, but what.

Got a painting in this upcoming group show at Old Fashioned Garage Gallery. Dm for address.

Would rather chew glass than listen to Dan Savage and Nancy Rommelmann talk about the Diddy trial.

I know I talk a ton of shit about nonprofits: the perverse incentives to water down messaging, coercion by the larger donor class, and their perpetual bandaid approach to the many great ills of society. THAT SAID, a lot of cool programs are really struggling right now.

Everyone references the movie Her these days. Not enough talk about the Kate Bush video for Deeper Understanding.

Don’t snooze ppl Kelly Reichardt’s first movie River of Grass is leaving mubi soon

Tonight I'm texting Nancy Pelosi and asking HER for $5

RCV, folks. Amazing what happens when you’re not forced to pick between Evil and the Diet Coke of Evil.

It looks like he’s staring at hell
