I feel like, once a business reaches a certain stage, it's of no interest to me, nor are people like me of any interest to them. They're DONE innovating. They're DONE optimizing, even though they're nowhere near optimized. They need villagers, but I'm a pioneer. I'm a scout who lives among natives.🐴

Wow, so relatable. I think I have dementia, haha. Too much Benadryl in one lifetime. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Spider eggs!

Acting on the theory that Limitless was a true story, and the only thing the drug did was give him a delusional amount of self-confidence. I don't want to pull a Theranos, but a little over-promising could go a long way compared to the amount of self-deprecation and doubt I've expressed previously.👩‍💼

@msnbc.com reporter at the 1:15 mark. “The chaos you’re seeing is not the result of peaceful protestors, it’s the result of actions of law enforcement, specifically the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.” #nokings

I wonder if Trump doesn't know why people hate him. Could he be like Mac in IASIP, explaining how he's intelligently playing both sides against each other so that he benefits no matter who wins? He's like, "I don't know why people are against me when I know so much about security and martial arts."🥋

I think I just found a timely, no-budget, movie idea with market appeal. www.kptv.com/2025/06/12/p... Someone is hunting people for sport in North Portland. The Most Dangerous Game is overdone, but it's for a good reason. It gives you everything you'd ever want in an exciting action-adventure story.

The problem isn't AI. The problem is capitalists don't WANT to solve hard problems. Capitalists don't WANT to improve society for all people. Capitalists only want another 1% on their ROI. We have allowed too many hopeful new tech startups to turn into VAMPIRES. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

After the fallout, I'll be playing with radioactive toys that are bad for the environment. What are you gonna do, wipe away civilization? Stop participating in society? Live like a colonial times LARPer? I don't get the hate for AI. The rabid, politicized kind. It's like militant veganism.

I'd be outraged if I wasn't just clean pissed off.

Yikes

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Corporate sponsorship of fascism. This century is so bizarre. We're in the Robocop universe.

Ah, this must be memorializing late-1945 operations, when the SEGREGATED American military, long admired by Adolf Hitler, became so tattered and depleted that they were FORCED to allow a small percentage of segregated Black soldiers to serve within white units. What a great show of diversity, Trump!

Weird lesbian pals from the plagiarism machine. I have no use for these, but it's fun seeing what happens when you mashup two or three images.

I made my first button!

Far-right platforms must be destroyed. MAGA control of the narrative can't continue. Reddit, the local subreddits in particular, is under total authoritarian capture.

Portland, Oregon is the perfect city for street food like this, because it's very likely anyone walking around on the sidewalk is high, or is literally smoking a preroll while they walk, or just left a weed shop, so there's always tons of foot traffic interested in exactly this kind of wacky stuff.👩‍🍳

I love that people are coming out, but where is this going? This was bigger than Cinco de Mayo for a few hours, now what? We keep coming out until a dozen bicycle cops are replaced by National Guard? I don't think peaceful crowds like this are going to disrupt anything that has already been planned.

Check out this dinosaur egg! I bought some new, to me, freeze dried candies by Ready Yeti at the Saturday Market today. The owner promised me they will try cough drops if enough people request them, so contact Redy Yeti and ask them to do cough drops!🍬❄️🍭 Instagram.com/readyyeti readyyetisnackery.com

Past Me did a phenomenal job of hiding the cranberry juice. Hats off to her. I was just making a wine spritzer, mimosa type of cocktail ChatGPT recommended because I hate red wine. It's merlot, soda water, and cranberry juice. It's actually not bad. It needs a little lemon for zing.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Let's make the best out of a bad situation. We're looking forward to re-envisioning a future organized by the landscape rather than arbitrary map boundaries. #bioregionalism Sending care out to everyone in #Cascadia on the streets in solidarity today and this weekend. www.abc10.com/article/news...

Several service members told advocacy groups they “felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary”

The absolute darkest timeline would be if No Kings became like Pride Month and corporations started rolling out No Kings merchandising around June each year. People gather in parks carrying signs with absurd nonsensical slogans that nobody understands, just because it's traditional for the holiday.🎄

If you've ever been called on stage at a magic show or a bachelorette party, you've probably been "made to do" some embarrassing stuff. Most people would be surprised by the extent to which they fall for stage magician tricks and behave exactly as expected, and the same is true under authoritarians.

Easy win for Wizards of the Coast and Kellog's.
