Can't argue with that

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

"Conscience" (Westworld) LARP

This makes us so happy. It's part of the Port of Portland's retail residency program program. The airport partners with *local* businesses to create pop-up shops! www.thepopverse.com/comics-books...

Now departing Bozeman! Amy returning to Portland, me going on to Montreal for the gay square dance convention.

Landed in Montana! Without Amy's bag unfortunately. It should be here in a few hours.

At PDX on our way to Montana for "Conscience," the Westworld LARP!

The comment period for the proposed USPS election rule change is open until July 2. You can read the proposed rule at www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026… and can submit your comments by email to [email protected] with subject "Ballot Mail." Here's mine.

This email from editor Hannah Taylor at Canelo Publishing ([email protected]) is frighteningly plausible. There IS a Hannah Taylor at Canelo, but the publisher's actual URL is www.canelo.co. Always check carefully for scams!

I just called Oregon's governor to say that if the USPS implements its plan to not deliver ballots from people who are not on the Trump-approved voter list, that Oregon should refuse to hand over our voter lists and say "go ahead, don't let any Oregonian vote. We'll see how well that goes for you."

Please buy books from bookshop.org, which sends business to local bookstores, rather than a giant Trump-friendly anti-worker monopsony.

Pomplamoose at the Wonder Ballroom!

The Trump administration is now reportedly threatening to withhold funds from states that do not: ⚠️ Stop using certain election equipment ⚠️ Move to hand-marked paper ballots States that refuse to comply risk losing tens of millions of dollars in security grants. https://bit.ly/3Sl9idX

it's official: these new bathrooms in pdx airport represent the peak of human accomplishment. individual, private rooms. no gaps. a shared sink and waiting area. light, bright, pleasant. accessible. the toilet gold standard. we did it folks

Why does Bono never take his glasses off? He still hasn’t found what he’s looking for.

Opening night of the outdoor Elizabethan theatre in Ashland for the 2026 season: Taming of the Shrew!

I saw "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" in the theater and can definitely recommend it.

Live footage of Trump contractors fighting the algae bloom at the reflecting pool

I know it's relatively low stakes compared to other things, but "the president can't even manage a reflecting pool" slaps I think, especially because it doesn't require all that much thought by the audience. It looks like shit and it's his fault.

Random comment seen on Mastodon: "AI artwork looks the way Christian Rock sounds."

Greatly enjoyed our stay at Romantic Adventure Getaway in Morrison, IL. A romantic overnight escape room for two, replete with puzzles, secret doors, and hidden passages. • For more info: romanticadventuregetaways.com/morrison/ • A video review: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMo1S65j/

Just a thought but if all you want to do is cosplay being a novelist, you don't need AI. Just put on your crappest sweatshirt, make a cup of tea, open Word to a blank page, then go on Bluesky for the rest of the day, and you're sorted.

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

WAS is a great and underappreciated book.
