#3dprinting fifty DON'T OBEY #portland safety whistles at once as a test. This is the most stuff I have attempted to print at once. They are small.

Well, it finally happened: I have crow friends. The neighborhood crow couple was next door digging up the yard for grubs. I walked outside, looked at them, whistled, threw a handful of cat kibble in the air, and closed the door and left them alone. This was a few days ago. They've come back […]

If the 28-point plan came from Russia and somehow ended up in the hands of U.S. lawmakers, then we don’t have a “leak” problem we have a foreign influence problem. And anyone downplaying that should not be anywhere near national security decisions.

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places. If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Weird scene at Portland City Hall as a group has gathered to demonstrate against a first reading of an ordinance that would fine landlords who rent their buildings for detention centers—they only want to revoke a permit—as a right-wing streamer Tommy Allen yells transphobic slurs into a megaphone.

King of UK, to his own brother: "That does it, you're not a prince any more. Out you go." US, now that Trump is clearly implicated: "Technically it's not really pedophilia if the girl is 14." The freaking *British royal family* is doing a better job cleaning house than we are.

PGE's hosting a “community forum.” While they’re not _officially_ saying it’s about reviving their Forest Park transmission plan… the timing's hopping around suspiciously, like a red-legged frog trying to get our attention. Earlier this year, PGE proposed removing almost 400 mature trees in […]
