Every day is beautiful in the PNW 💙 Photos from my morning walk, after dropping The Kid off for class today

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Everybody wants to make a buck off your dreams.

Hate it or love it, AI is poised to answer some fundamental questions about humanity, such as “Will anybody pay $250 for a 10-second clip of Jurassic Park where they’re all muppets”

Stay Weird Portland! 🔥 Today Portland had an emergency naked bike ride to the ICE facility. IN THE RAIN. It was around 50°. Thousands were fully nude, half nude, or wearing costumes. Portland is VERY dedicated to exposing the absurdities of injustice. Here are some photos & videos. 🧵👇🏼

Dog got me up at 4:30 am to go pee but at least I got this nice shot of Orion out of it

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

What an absolute treat it was to play with Chloé Hurst and Aaron Durand and the audience was so welcoming and warm. The duo’s incredible voices and onstage charisma charmed us all! A brilliant start to a shiny and exciting season for West Coast Symphony! Thank you all for being there! #orchestra

Today we honor the children taken, the survivors, and the strength of our Nations. Truth and Reconciliation Day is a call to listen, learn, and stand with us. The path forward is built on truth, respect, and action, together.

War-ravaged Portland

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

The daily outrages naturally occupy our attention, but keep in mind that the overall objective of the Trumpists and their allies elsewhere in the world is to erase every Enlightenment principle and ideal, and every bit of social and political progress based on them in the last few hundred years.

Make sure to remember this 21st night of September

Reminder that September is National library card month, so you should totally go get a library card! Yes, they have books, but many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

Two likely lynchings in Mississippi yesterday. Trey Reed Cory Zukatas We need an outside independent investigation.

I think we need to bring back Canadian Heritage Moments this is my audition lol Also, I honestly had no idea that Labs were created in Canada.

You ever think how amazing it is we as humans love petting animals and we live on a planet where so many creatures love being petted?

First the WSJ incorrectly reporting the bullet casings had "trans ideology" written on them, then The Guardian interviews some jagoff and prints claims that the shooter was "leftist," which the source then retracts. This is journalistic malpractice on a systemic scale.

Melissa Hortman practiced politics the right way.

On this Eve of my wedding I focus on deep breaths and enjoying every moment. First pic is after last Friday’s blessed ocean dip, second is from my Despedida de Soltera! 👰🏻‍♀️💋

one way we can tackle inflation and fight rising food prices is to bring back the casual dining soup and salad bar. i asked a professional economist and he said this would work

gotham has three world class universities with great liberal arts programs, but the city has cut its discretionary budget to the bone to fund the police. that's why when the joker takes over the mob there's a bunch of low level goons ready and eager to wear facepaint and do coordinated dance numbers

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all

I know people are wondering what to do and where to go from here. A lot of people are scared. But there is action that can still be done. A general strike is being planned, and ANYONE can get involved. I made a list how. Sign the strike card. Not all is lost www.generalstrikeus.com

THIS is what flipped Brian Fitzpatrick's vote. He is a NO on the bill. Don't tell me our voices don't matter.

You can tell that “AI Artists” aren’t real artists by their lack of imposter syndrome

“I was lying in my room And the news came on TV A lotta people out there hurtin' And it really scares me Love and mercy, that's what you need tonight So, love and mercy to you and your friends tonight.” - Brian Wilson

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Everything sucks so I treated myself to a newspapers.com subscription and I’ve already gotten my money’s worth by discovering that in the 1920s and 30s they reported on everything the locals did. Apparently my grandparents went to their friend’s house on a Saturday night in July of 1936.

"Anita Eccleston presents a thoughtful and serene musical landscape with her Gala Gardens project, while a lone vocal song will starkly contrast the lightness of the instrumentals. Banding together with an array of Vancouver talent, the ambient electronic infused album is rendered to life, 1/4

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

Happy International Women's Day! May we all embody this energy today and always.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance would never talk to Vladimir Putin the way they talked to Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
