👋🏻 The unsupported use case of a disordered, surplus, mediocre midlife in St. Johns, Oregon. 👍🏻 There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind. 👎🏻 This is an awful place to be dropped down halfway. 🏠 slow.dog ✍🏻 bix.blog

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Oh.

Honestly, while this is not as good as winning, at this point the way the season is going, the more this kind of blunt self-assessment all around the better. The time for spin is past. #RedSox

I’m only through the first chapter and y’all need to read this book.

I have driven by this sign since i was a kid. It's always awful. I'm very glad to see it has new ownership.

I regret to inform you the Fifth Circuit is at it again #libsky www.libraryjournal.com/story/librar...

I want to see that Eguino/Proud Boys video but since whoever was quoted blocked it, it’s inaccessible to anyone else looking at the post.

Finished up @dsquareddigest.bsky.social’s The Unaccountability Machine; starting in on @shannonvallor.bsky.social’s The AI Mirror. #AmReading #Nonfiction #Books

So Akismet just informed me they’re going to charge me for spam comment protection because I have a link to my Patreon on my Wordpress blog. Any good alternatives? Or should I just turn comments off forever?

I would just like to say fuck Jonathan Greenblatt and fuck the ADL. Any good they did in the past has been completely washed away. They do not speak for me.

Okay. Here we go. Just how bad is this going to be. #RedSox

The city joins Portland, Vancouver, Milwaukie, The Dalles and many others to ban the use of fireworks.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The blockbuster horror film "Sinners" features the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in a short, impactful scene. For some Choctaw, it is the first time they've heard their language and seen their culture accurately portrayed on screen.

Boosting this again as this morning they told us that all 180+ ppl across the entire office are, to quote my lead, "in danger." I need health insurance or I will, in fact, die!

Bleh.

I would but alas my pet’s name, taken from a Matt Kindt comic, went on to be the name of an animated porn character, so I won’t.

It's a Vonnegut reference, says the most pretentious motherfucker you've ever met

It’s funny what macaroni salad manufacturers think is a serving size.

What I'm really getting from this map is that you could poop at so many places along the Grand Floral Parade route.

It’s unusual for a defendant in a lawsuit to voluntarily increase a negotiated settlement, but city councilors said they felt compelled to pay more.

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

Every ten minutes, the same 10 failed conservative politicians backed by the same dozen rich guys create a new political front group that is exactly the same as all the other ones.

My heat tolerance trajectory continues the downward trend, and it’s clear that I should not leave the house once it reached 80°F and sunny. But, sure, doc: my fatigue is a lack of strength training.

"The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning 'a bunch of schizoposters' who believe 'they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god.'"

Not thrilled to be in a stretch of weather that probably keeps me in the house for five days. I *might* be able to get out today. *Maybe*.

A đź§µ: City Council did something unique yesterday. Faced with an already-unusual type of settlement - one with 27 plaintiffs, and focusing on the historic wrong of intentional displacement through "urban renewal" in Albina ~60 years ago - Council amended the amount live and passed the ordinance. 1/

This was what lit me yesterday while everyone else was lit by something else.

Do I add this to the list of worries I have on my homepage. 🤔

I get why these articles are important but there need also to be more articles by and about #ActuallyAutistic people who are failures rather than successes. Who don’t have careers, or jobs. Or any potential for these things. Else it becomes judgmental, “Why can’t you do/be that?”

“Why are there so many beetle species?” I blame @premeemohamed.com somehow. Credit, I mean credit.

Okay, bix.blog has been transferred to @porkbun.com where I manage all my other domains. This means it’s no longer free as part of Automattic’s “dotblogger” program, but it feels more mine now. (Also, no renewal until 2030, which is nice.)

Big data centers in Oregon were paying less than half the cost for power that residential customers were paying. A new bill on the governor's desk would require giants like Amazon and Facebook to pony up more for power and infrastructure.

SCOOP: The CDC is planning to move information on cases of diseases like measles and polio to a data system managed by Palantir, raising concerns about patient privacy. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/h...
