Patton Oswalt was right and @bsky.app needs to figure out who their actual audience is

Really coming to grips with the idea that musicians are just traveling t-shirt sales people looking at my bandcamp (ostensibly a website for selling music) and realizing that the vast majority of what I move is clothing

Today is the 50th annnoversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Wednesday is the 55th anniversary of the explosion of the Oregon whale. There is no relationship between these events but what this post presupposes is: what if there were

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Mustard (and onion) gas the feds

1 day into the flu and this my brain: Someone should make dugs for sick people. Not medicine, just lab designed pills that get you fucked up without lowering your immune system. Like, ketamine and vitamin c shots or maybe a humidifier full of camphor and toad venom just wafting next to your face.

Woke up today to the news

the American conservative project, the old dream of making the world into a place awful enough to justify American conservatism, never had a better champion

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

In Portland trick or treater night we had one kid have us scan a QR code for the portland food bank (which I have already donated to) and another dressed as a pangolin and inform me they are the most trafficked animal

Time is flat circle; we can be both spooky and horny if we only try

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence." It's projection from the right. All the way down.

Join a DSA/NDLON ICE watch training on Tuesday! dsausa.us/icewatch

Just learned my group was marching directly behind Elvira today, and honestly, that is the most Halloween thing I’ve ever done. No kings; only the mistress of the dark

bro did you just challenge portland to express oppositional defiance in competitively creative ways bro

Attn Oregon: emergency state wide Migra Watch training this Sunday the 19th. Also, please donate to the PIRC if you can. They have very low funds and high needs. Immigrants need support such as attorneys.

Portland Folks: if you're in town Saturday and want something to go to aside from the No Kings protest, or after, the Portland Defense Fund is holding a street fair on Clinton St in SE.

My super modern regulatory plan is that any entity named for a thing from Tolkien has to publicly explain why Tolkien wouldn’t immediately throw it into Mount Doom

Absolutely in love with how this came out

Alien X Evil dead 2 The Thing

Spotify is now running recruitment ads for ICE. It’s time to cancel your account.

Facts

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Portland’s Emergency World Naked Bike Ride arrives at ICE

Stay safe out there y'all. If you're biking nekkid, the high for today is only about 53° F, so make sure you have a plan to warm back up. If you're *not* nekkid, it's a good idea to have the jail support number written discreetly somewhere on your body where it won't be easily rubbed off. 🐸🦖🦄🦝

Portland doesn't want nazi noem on the roam. She next went on national media and lied to racist grandpa president about our city. She also could have not.

There literally isn’t a single part of portland that I don’t feel safe walking around, except for when the feds and their boot lickers show up

Got a reprint of some stickers and my favorite shirt design we’ve done for a show Dante’s in portland tonight

War ravaged portland: this dog got tired on a walk and needed to be carried

'Anatomie de Mélusine. Mammo-Reptile. Système Digestif de la Femme-Serpent (Ophiaphrodite Castelli).'

Action shot from this years block party

Trying so hard not to fanboy out about this gig but it’s been hard. Messer Chups (Russia) have been huge inspirations for us and getting to share a stage with them is a dream #surf #surfpunk #portland

AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive

Def Antifa. You can tell by the mask. #WarRavagedPortland

Throwback to the last time Portland got called an anarchist jurisdiction “no pasaran”

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

As a society, the one thing we were totally unprepared for was annoying leftists being right.

I’m not saying there’s not any validity to the phrase “no ethical consumption under capitalism” but every time I’ve heard it has been to excuse giving money to utter bastards. Maybe, just maybe, pop culture isn’t worth it. Canceling subscriptions is so damn easy

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

once again it is not fucking normal to lower flags in oregon for random member of the opposing political party who was born in illinois, lived in arizona, and died in utah. this is not a normal thing they're extending to a white supremacist, it's a special thing they're doing for a white supremacist

Directly before riding down what I will generously call a road, but was really a goat path, for 10 miles of sheer white knuckled effort

Portland now offers an easy exit for anyone who thinks the city is a shitty hellscape: A smell port that allows a bloodthirsty bear to know your scent, track you down, and rip you to pieces, probably in a peaceful walkable neighborhood w its own theater, bookshop, grocery store, and community garden
