Oh hell yeah, that is genuinely awesome. I hope they do some cool stuff with it.
Breaking news: AG Rayfield wins court order requiring billions in funding for disaster mitigation to be restored
“The court has now said twice that the Trump administration can’t simply walk away from this program, and today’s order puts real teeth behind that. This is the work that happens before the flood waters rise, or the fire season starts, and Oregon communities deserve the preparation and the projects they were promised.”
BREAKING NEWS: We just won a court order requiring the Trump administration to restore billions in funding for disaster mitigation projects – including in Medford, Grants Pass, and Clatsop County. #orpol #breakingnews
I believe it was @golikehellmachine.com who first observed here that if he ever had his shirt off in front of a tattooist while getting his other work done, they would have noticed his Nazi tattoo & engaged him forcefully on the question of why he had it, & whether he wanted to be rid of it
Totally possible. I've had bots do large removals of content on other platforms accidentally in the past because of something getting flagged.
Woah, that is super weird. Haven't seen anything like that on any account I've worked with on here.

i could get danish citizenship, which i was initially against because i'd really prefer seeing this place improving... but damn it is getting more tempting
Yesterday I wrote a short piece about the radical joy in Alysa Liu's gold-medal-winning skate and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show and how art and joy is a threat to authoritarians. It's resonated with a lot of folks, maybe also with you. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...
it drove me away from social in my career too. i had received death threats (managing tax brands in tax season is wild) well before video, no way in hell i was putting my face out there.
If you want to visit Portland, timing it to catch a show in Pioneer Square is well worth it.

A Hillsboro data center operated by social media company TikTok, for example, is saving $5.6 million this year through Oregon's enterprise zone program even though it has just 11 local employees. That works out to more than $500,000 in tax breaks for each worker.

This is insane.
We can’t even fund baseline transportation needs but can afford these tax breaks for unpopular tech?!
An Oregon State University forest scientist emerita called the proposal "insanity," saying these carbon-storing forests are among the most effective in the world at fighting climate change.
And it does look like the correct image is declared on the article's page.
"openGraphImageUrl":"https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/63/22/25/30221657/5/rawImage.jpg"
Twitter pulling the wrong image and ignoring opengraph was a problem pre Musk. Can’t imagine they improved at all so not surprised this comes in wrong.
I would have loved to be in the writers room for this one
Deep banjo lore. My high school geometry teacher played banjo with Steve Martin too when they filmed Novocaine at his house.
Can't believe I remember this existing, but Funny or Die did a banjo skit with Ed and Steve Martin youtu.be/2rWzVhDQquI?...

Pacific Rim 2, it didn't need to be good, but they made giant robots fighting kaiju boring
I can’t think of any artists that lack empathy or harbor disdain for large swaths of people either. Outside of propaganda at least.
