@lissaharris.bsky.social a sincere thanks for your constant boosting of mitsubishi hyperheat. We just had one installed to replace our failing furnace and AC. Not only does it work great, but it was the cheapest option by far.

This right here! The GOP is literally advocating for strangers to check your children’s genitals at school and I don’t understand why it hasn’t been a key talking point. They show up with AR-15s to story hour and look inside your kids underwear at school, this is who they are and we should say so.

I’ve anticipated this since last November & even though this is not the final word & there will be many opportunities to fight & hopefully block this before it takes effect, it still feels devastating in this moment So much cruelty directed at children just trying to live their lives

A perennial favorite, the answer is yes

Locals exhaling with relief

We did a HAL 9000 speed run but we won’t even turn it off

I fear this is what we’re trending towards. The amount of political nips I’ve seen this year is six over my previous baseline of zero.

She will rise again✊

This interview with a unicorn perfectly encapsulates the absurdity and gravity of the moment we are in

I’m not gonna dress like a top secret ninja to walk down the street in my own goddamn city where I live

Oh shit Wyden off the top rope with a folding chair

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

No one on here can actually read

A real no shit sherlock situation

Political donor: lame and goyische Democratic sugar daddy: Demonic, chest hair coded

A lovely thread about the independent spirit of Portland

Heartbreaking reading, but this Reddit thread gives a sense of the relentlessness of the horror inflicted by ICE, and the damage being done to so many innocent people that doesn't make the news.

You would not believe the atrocities I encountered on my way to Muji today

He’s been dining out on that milkshake for 5 years

This should be a top story in the media. The president is blatantly misrepresenting the conditions of a city of several hundred thousand people. It’s not for the opinion pages, this is easily verifiable and should be front page news.

No, I'm America too, that queer person is America too, that Black radical, that hispanic farmworker, that urban liberal Democrat, that DSA member, we're all also America and we get a say in and make up a part of this country too. It's not all honkies stomping on faces.

I’m into it, but also we adopted a kitten a few days ago and look at this ridiculous little creature! Look at those eye-whiskers!

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Thinking of all the people who don’t have a friend in a different info reality that they can check in with. Lots of us are in fully different funnels of information and I fear we may end up pointing guns at each other before we can sit down and hash it out.

I will be opening my own investigation into those little alien mummies

Ok I was wrong he put obamas name in there. Full of surprises!

Cannot wait till Trump releases the Epstein files with his name crossed out and Joe Biden written in, 5x per page probably

Has anyone been to a factory lately, where they actually *build stuff*? All the tough guy parts like welding, metal forming etc are totally automated. Factories today have far less workers overall than they used to.

Opinion | We must end antisemitism at American Universities by deporting all the rootless cosmopolitans.

the goal isn’t to protect jews from antisemitism, it’s to use jews as a scapegoat to justify removal of “undesirables” so that it foments a backlash against us and not them

this is what clippy took from us

I spend a few weeks a year in China and none of this is surprising to me. The economic outlook for Chinese young people is so full of promise compared to USA. I see opportunity, optimism, disposable income when I am there. What I imagine the postwar US economy must have felt like.

There needs to be a conversation about why this keeps happening (men becoming increasingly abusive in proportion to their amassing of cultural capital). That has more tangible impact than canceling people for liking the work of previously canceled people.

Funny thing, at least in the US, FB’s user base skews heavily female. IG even more so. And I don’t know what kind of engagement numbers they claim, but it’s clear there’s been a large drop off in active users. I can’t see how butching it up is gonna help anything.

Let's unpack this tho. This is one of the biggest ways that the Very Smart Online Left has abandoned the working class. If you're working two cashier jobs just to pay rent, you DONT HAVE TIME to read every f'n opinion piece and post thread and whatnot. You know who listens to Rogan? Doordash drivers

This feels like an opportune moment to remind everyone that these freaks want to inspect your kids genitals. On their watch they have passed several laws that will allow them to do so, without a parent present.

Can we get a straight pride month for these frogs

I am so excited for Tesla’s ICE pivot

I think the cops feel resentful when these sensitive unarmed ppl with a little plastic badge get in there and handle situations for which the cops need full body armor and a belt full of weapons. It’s amazing how many people you can just not shoot if you put literally any other options on the table

This little freak lives in my house with me

it me im raccoon dog

I’ve long thought that we should really bring back the idea of a “nervous breakdown” Covers stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into any DSM-approved diagnosis; could include medication, but 1st line treatment is taking time away from all the stressors in yr life that have overwhelmed you.

Official reminder for all Portland voters: there are more PPB officers living in the state of Washington then there are PPB officers who live within the city of Portland. These are not the people who should be creating city policy.

Went to file an expense report only to find my expenses had been randomly converted into Hong Kong dollars, Australian dollars and Tongan Pa’anga.

Me, late 2019, unemployed and weeping, listening to Brene Brown podcasts: I want to be in the arena Me in the arena: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

there should be a job that pays $100,000 where you walk through nature and collect berries

This might be the worst case of brainworms I’ve ever seen

back when jobs were done by MEN wearing TIES who would drive a CAR to the OFFICE and not sit around wearing SWEATPANTS with a CAT on their lap

People are developing a magical relationship with voting - a belief that your vote (or intentional abstention) has more talismanic value in manifesting your preferred future than it has utilitarian value to directly affect our government
