Considering some of the NIMBY crap I hear from neighbors in my building, not sure if this will help or harm, but can't fault a girl for trying. The DINO ones have been up at least 2 weeks, let's see how long the Mitch one lasts. **reposted for "oops that's someone's name and address" reasons

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

This is another thing I want to do a video on some day and go into more detail, but also bring it back to video games. Many do it wrong, and some do it incredibly well - a lot this same stuff ends up in games when artists work from real reference. You won't get this with AI.

And nobody calls you a neurotic, attention-seeking hypochondriac for using mosquito netting and bug spray in places where malaria IS endemic.

More buildings need their construction date literally embossed into their walls. What a fantastic little building

the software industry has not solved "cleanly copying and pasting text in a table from one program to another" after 40 years of productivity design and optimization. just thinking of other things that took more time and effort than cracking an atom in two

Adjacent to their salaries is also the administrative work of all those cops filing essentially the same report. Then the massive gigs of bodycam footage. That all become hours of further tax payer money, twice, if there are charges pressed, both DAs and Public Defenders have to spend time on that.

One HOUR of cops standing around having a chit chat party would pay the rent for several apartments for unhoused folks for a MONTH

@councilorgreen.bsky.social @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilortkl.bsky.social @councilorkanal.bsky.social I know you know, but as a citizen it is so infuriating that I'm watching $5000 an hour of the city's budget get wasted outside my window right now.

At the time I went by, I didn't see anything occurring (whatever happened had already happened) so I'm going to follow up. We saw PPB data at a recent Council meeting showing that more officers respond to each call now than in the past - this is an efficiency AND public safety concern I share.

Why are SIXTEEN COPS who make $70 an hour,minimum, required to arrest 1 homeless man in a sweatshirt with a couple plastic bags. There are still 8 of them just milling around out there, doing nothing. Leaning against cars, drinking coffee, blocking traffic. This is my tax money, wasted.

I think I’ve posted this before, but I have a weird existential reaction whenever this is mentioned. I become genuinely angry and sad that a mini Star Trek theme park existed but at a time where I couldn’t go to it. Like. People got to sit in Quark’s ffs. And walk around the TNG bridge. Ffs.

i'm traveling and can't sit down to write out the portland police's history of using town halls, press conferences, and leaks to campaign against elected officials but they are repeat offenders and we should call it what it is: election interference by a cartel of armed washington state residents

An outstanding comment to the mayor! "Is it safe to call the police ... if I have a Mitch Green sign..." is the perfect example of exactly WHY this is a violation of HRAH-406 Bob Day's comments explicitly and openly prejudice his employees against supporters of a candidate for a political office

My city councilor is the best city councilor. Love when elected officials bring receipts! If there's anyone that gives me hope for the future of Portland it's Angelita Morillo

Perhaps Mr. Schmautz is talking about another bureau where people get fired for bad behavior? I recall Mark Kruger, known Nazi, working at PPB for decades before retiring happily. More recently an officer told a protestor he would’ve also shot Renee Good. He got some training, is back on the force.

Pack it up, this is the only tweet that ever needs to be made regarding Meryl Streep's casting as the voice of Aslan

Bob Chipman ("MovieBob")@bobchipman.bsky.social

C.S. Lewis describes Aslan's song (voice) as having female lower notes because it comes from "Earth herself;" so if you're gonna be cross about this take it up with THAT woke leftist weirdo 🤷‍♂️

this is a masterwork of modern poetry

Very grateful to my younger self for buying this Canon 70D and accoutrement so I can take artsy photos of lunar eclipses that don't look like a shriveled ball sack after AI is done processing them (Not sponsored by Thule, but if they wanted to...)

There's nothing in the world like Japanese product design. I love that a commercial tool both a) has the option to sing and b) gives you the CHOICE of songs? The world needs more whimsy

Des Walsh@deswalsh.bsky.social

I was mistaken thinking my Makita charger didn’t beep when finish cos it was faulty. Turns out put the battery in it will beep take it out and put it back with in 5 seconds you will loop though song settings and now it signs a happy song when it’s done like a good lad like the washing machine!!!

A magnificent thread

Seemed like a short survey, but then I started writing...

ODOT needs to hear from you - do you want the agency to prioritize investments in safer streets, road maintenance and transit restoration next year? I encourage all Oregonians to take this survey: https://www.cognitoforms.com/ODOT2/ROTVSurvey #orleg

(But also I would look into it and then email my boss back how much time I spent looking into it, which was completely wasted, because I knew it was a waste before it even did it, and needed that expertise listened to in the future instead of doubted. I actually did this more than once.)
