Everyone here is playing and experimenting with new ways that social media can be useful instead of draining and bad. It might take a while but the future is obviously here

Happy to see the Gov. has already signed HB 4031, allowing in-progress solar projects to move up their timeline to realize expiring federal tax credits
Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth
None of them through the Strait of Hormuz

Don't tell me about the flies you're swatting, tell me about the seeds you're planting.
It's a truism that at any moment there are uncountable good things and uncountable bad things going on in the world, and it's a particular failing of our mamalian brains that we overindex on the bad. This gets exploited by commercial media- why do we choose to perpetuate that on noncommercial media?
If you care about the economic vitality of Portland and want it to be a place that works for families, you care about supporting Preeschool For All, full stop.
For 50 years, the entire energy world has gamed out this exact scenario, and yet, there doesn't seem to be a plan? Seems bad. rdcu.be/ehooz
it's cancellable bc it's true lol
I signed the petition, voted for it, have been paying since it went into effect, and I'm still here. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/03...
btw, those hands took the chance unprompted to also sideswipe at intl elevators and singlestair during their verbal testimony
at the same hands. The WA bill had some unreasonable extra junk tacked on to it though
Roughly half the electric grid goes unused about 99% of the time. Virginia wants to change that.
~all of Portland's industrial growth is in the Slough (also covered by industrial sanctuary rhetoric). also I'm still salty about SB1586. Sanctuary in the context of commercial land use strikes me as retrograde and harmful, no matter the category being sanctified & always biases towards incumbents
CityNerd identifies Eastbank I-5 as one of the top 10 candidates nationwide for a freeway teardown! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiNp...
has anyone investigated what fund they used to buy themselves little VC-coded Portland Solutions logo embeoidered puffy vests?
The info sphere is not good here, folks.
The concept of industrial sanctuary populated by little botique burning man machine shops and furniture liquidators or whatever is preposterous when the state refuses to make space for actual industry that employs thousands. Make the CEID Brooklyn.
Glad ODOT is taking Portlanders quality of life seriously ❤️
Portland must get its eastbank back!
batteries, but also solar. and some wind, as a treat.
This paper is excellent and shows how the fossil fuel industry deploys false solutions- CCS, hydrogen, and CDR- in order to further entrench and protect fossil fuel hygemony
Please someone do this, you will be a hero
Not to mention, SD21 covers the same area as HDs 41 and 42, Reps. Nosse and Gamba. They're both much better on all the dimensions that matter.
senator taylor is such a good target for a progressive challenger. she fought preschool for all, prefers means-testing, and doesn't believe in voter-initiated ballot measures.
there are few things I hate more than knocking doors, but I'd knock doors against Taylor.
Please somebody primary Taylor.
co-sign.
The process does matter. As someone who had a hand in shaping our groundbreaking environmental justice fund, I will always center community voices in our discussions about PCEF’s future.
batteries.
you might say i have a conflict of interest but i can't say i advise startups to jump directly into enterprise sales
Portland's MO is "we have 2 world-class rivers, what if we did our best to pretend they weren't there?"
