If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

When did “get to Vancouver 90 seconds faster during rush hour” become a “kitchen table issue” while “not dying on cold pavement” never did. Make It Make Sense

Is the joke that he's also autistic? Because that's not a funny joke.

Apparently it's asking too much for weather alerts to put an elevation level in their winter storm warnings.

This is amazing.

You mean they weren't out dancing in the streets in actual Venezuela when they found out? Huh. It's almost like it's deeply upsetting and tense to suddenly have your country occupied and picking the wrong side could get you killed.

I feel like letting every president of my lifetime get away with Unlimited War Crimes was a serious mistake

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

And it was planned for Christmas.

Former Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb: “Trump is waging war on people who offend him… I think it will take at least a generation for the United States to regain the freedoms we enjoyed 9 months ago”

If you were wondering, yes LLMs are still bad at math. The breakdown is mostly at translating word concepts to numbers.

Now you can have CSAM on your business hard drives, too!

just stumbled upon a 55cm surly crosscheck for sale in north portland on facebook marketplace for only $600. my crosscheck is literally my favorite possession of all time, ever, if you're 5'8-6'0 and hoping to bike more in in 2026 go pay this guy a visit www.facebook.com/marketplace/...

How much of this is just a platter of lies? My hope is that the ignoring his doctors part is true, though. Keep doing that.

They're going to *throw out* one-of-a-kind NASA archives?! Not even a year since the Inauguration & we're already at the 2nd-time-as-farce version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

This is an amazing take on congestion pricing.

We need a threat assessment to show where the vulnerabilities are in our election infrastructure, well before November. @wyden.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @repdexteror.bsky.social - This has direct implications on the viability of Oregon's entire vote-by-mail system. Please get it reversed.

Groce Out had some $12 off steaks. So I copied an idea from Guga and marinated it in pickle juice. I'm here to report it was delicious.

This is horrifying.

Great question from @jkbjournalist.bsky.social, the Miami Herald reporter whose investigative series on Jeffrey Epstein led to his indictment in 2019.

Every post from @sffreview.bsky.social - which I’ve now blocked - reads like genAI, and based on their posts, is an outlet no one should support in any way.

Oh hey - neighborhood dive is having a potluck tonight.

Hengry Dumpling House was both open and not that busy for lunch, and now I'm full of XLB.

As someone who respects Gov. Kotek & wants to retain the governorship, this is an important take. Demotivating your campaign's likeliest supporters by opposing a voter-approved initiative saving families $18k/yr in childcare expenses doesn't improve affordability or help your campaign.

Someone please primary her.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

Good morning. New Thought Slime just landed. Still watching it.

Just another place you can watch the CECOT segment online mega.nz/file/PlpxQKK...

If anyone would like to let CBS know how you feel about them yanking the CECOT episode of 60 minutes mere hours before it aired, they have a feeback form here: www.cbs.com/showfeedback/

I knew this would happen! Streisand! Streisand!

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness. You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

Spent some time at a free exhibit about my favorite Portland anarchist. Sorry, @genderlessrodent.bsky.social, but it's not you. But I'd totally go to your exhibit, too.

just an fyi for portland ppl, this ursula exhibition is going on until february, it's free, and has a ton of her maps. plan for spending over an hour if you really want to take it all in www.oregoncontemporary.org/a-larger-rea...

I'm laughing so hard. OMG.

🤮

“This morning, WaPo confirmed what many of us have been warning about since Trump’s reelection, namely that behind closed doors the admin has begun a sweeping, ideologically driven campaign to treat left-leaning Americans as a domestic terrorist threat.” www.defiance.news/p/have-you-c...

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

I'm not surprised. I just hope the next chair isn't Rene.

My God.

Primary all of them. This is unacceptable.

incredible things happening at the nazi bar

Rob Reiner. OMG.

I got my kid The Preppy Kitchen cookbook for their birthday, and I feel like I accidentally bought a present for myself because now they want to make a bunch of meals. Not gonna say no.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns. The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.

The tone on this is absolutely galling. I'm not opposed to indexing the estate tax - or pretty much any of our wealth taxes, but people move for retirement all the time, and it's not unreasonable to tax estates. And yes, my corpse will probably owe taxes.

I watched Fantastic 4, and it was so boring I've already forgotten it.

WTAF?!!

US building codes requiring two stairs in multifamily buildings: not only worse living environments, but also more dangerous in fires! What a combination.
