Routle - TriMet is a pretty fun way to test your Portland area transit/geography knowledge! I keep eating shit on the westside lines.

With every U.S. war of aggression, it’s so gross how mainstream media spends so much time centering it around the effects on the stock market.

I love playing this little freak: the Smartest Dumb Guy and/or the Dumbest Smart Guy in this particular fantasy world.

Bogus Telephone Calls Wearisome to City Official --- "This sort of thing has been going on for three months, and it's getting no funnier fast," Benjamin S. Morrow, 1934 Northeast Hancock street, engineer and general manager of the Portland water works bureau, Monday night declared to police detectives, uniformed officers and ambulance men who were dispatched to his home on a bogus call that a man had been shot. "Some practical joker with a warped sense of humor seems to have made me his victim," Mr. Morrow declared. "Morticians, car dealers, delivery boys with C.O.D. parcels and ministers seeking promised donations have worn a path to my home and office doors. "Any person or firm receiving a telephone order from my home would do well to investigate before making a delivery," he commented.

Here's a news article from 90 years ago (The Oregonian, 2/5/1936) about a city official who keeps getting swatted.

Lemurs: what if a monkey was a cat

At work, I've had a handful of times now where someone's provided me incongruous information or data that falls apart under basic review and it turns out that the person's casually using A.I. without questioning the output at all.

Thing that seemed sketchy at the outset continues to look really fucking sketchy

RIP Jesse Jackson. The main thing I know about him is how in the 80s & 90s mainstream media presented him as a wacky fringe character with his "Rainbow Coalition" and quixotic presidential campaigns. So today there's a little dissonance seeing obituaries about how influential & respected he was.

Ocean freight shipping is my job, so that's my excuse for immediately looking up the price of this thing.

having identical reactions to people when they say they use chatgpt for something as when they say that they ate at jersey mike's or a subway... i'm not religious but you're aware you only have the one human soul, right. why are you feeding it into a paper shredder

Oh, yeah we do! Those’ll look great next to the wagons.

I’m still really curious about what the loud explosion from 11:13pm last night was. Over on Reddit, there’s a theory that it was a meteor, which seems a lot more plausible than a firework as originally suspected (it was way louder than that). It was “The Big Boom” [March 2010] loud.

Yeah, if it’s photo-realistic, then it matters quite a bit!! Disinformation is still disinformation even if it’s on your side. I’ve also seen, “I know it’s not real but I’m using it to make a point.” Which: NO! Using a fake image hurts your argument.

PANEL 1: MATTIE and a FRIEND in the park, walking. FRIEND: Hey so you know you're always talking about that one thing– MATTIE: The neolithic settlement at Çatalhöyük? Yeah! PANEL 2: The FRIEND, shaking his head. FRIEND: No, the other one. MATTIE: Pre-Marxist socialist utopian communes? FRIEND: No… MATTIE: Mayors? FRIEND: No… MATTIE: Dilbert? FRIEND: No… PANEL 3: Shot over MATTIE's shoulder, putting a finger in the air. The FRIEND points to a guy in the far distance having a conversation with someone else. MATTIE: Oh. Bog bodies? FRIEND:Yeah! FRIEND: I heard that guy over there talking about them too. PANEL 4: Extreme close-up on MATTIE, who makes a horrible face. MATTIE: HOW DARE HE STEAL MY ONE THING…

Thanks! I only heard one boom and it resonated for a few seconds. I’m at 15th & SE Stark, so it must have been a big mortar!

Anybody know what the big explosion sound about 10 minutes ago in Portland was? #pdx

I saw a real uptick in this after Pretti’s murder, including from some accounts that should know better.

Even if I’m on your side politically, I’m likely to Block or Mute if you’re spreading slop.

Green hand-lettered on a sheet of poster board reads: YOU TEAR GASSED CHILDREN

I brought this sign that I made last night. Obviously ICE is guilty of much more atrocious shit, but I wanted to shame the Portland employees specifically.

My afternoon

A cardboard sign written by a young child that reads “kids deserve to stay safe” with a peace sign next to the lettering.

The irony of my child’s sign they were so proud to bring this afternoon.

As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.

Congress voted this year to give $170 billion to the government thugs that murder people in concentration camps and execute citizens in the streets.

If not getting enough engagement on social media makes you think about quitting art, then you are creating art for the wrong reasons

It's fun bullshit!

There’s websites that track the movement of ships and planes and today I thought,”Oh, let’s find one for trains!” (there’s a railway next to my work.) It turns out that those don’t exist, and then I realized that trains are a lot easier to sabotage or rob than planes and boats.

A headline reads "RATTLESNAKE DICK TO BE PRESENTED", and a subheadline reads "Old Ranger to Tell Thrilling Story on KGW". This is an article from a August 13th, 1935, copy of The Oregonian newspaper.

I don't think that this is a WW3 scenario, but I am interested in seeing how the BRICS countries respond to this.

Just began seeing the news about an hour ago, still catching up, and just got a Signal message from a friend who doesn't live in the U.S.: "Do you think we'll still be able to communicate now that your president has started WW3?"
