I am trying not to completely freak out about this. 😫 I've been traveling a lot this spring, and Oregon's public BLM & forest regions are incredibly precious and absolutely must be protected for future generations…

As a child, I yearned for them.

Imagine if actors (in a place of privilege) could make some noise about how they're intentionally not going to join a production which will fund more bigotry and hate. Imagine.

Gavin Newsom isn't someone I find very likable but right now I'm finding him very gubernatorial, and that is exactly what we need. He is meeting the moment, and I hope he continues to meet the moment every day until Trump is defeated.

I don't want my conscience to be offended. I want the Senate to shut down, call for a general strike, LITERALLY ANYTHING other than writing sternly worded memos.
We, the people, are *under attack* by an Executive Branch which has gone rogue (again). **This is a coup!**

Uh, I think everything in the Bluesky app is "fake" because it's a React Native app. Not much in the way of native platform controls AFAIK.

OMG, this actually answers my questions—the TL;DR is that the whole thing was a carefully staged photo op! 😳

I'm aghast at the disrespect. Who are these soldiers anyway? Were they handpicked by the Trump team? Why are they mocking the former president like this? Beau Biden served overseas in Iraq as a major in the Judge Advocate General's Corps. And the fort naming thing is nuts. "We" aren't Confederates!

I've been trying to use them more after I read an article about how they should get used more. It's fun 😋

Oh definitely, I stopped trusting their coverage during the election cycle last summer. 🤷🏻♂️

P.S. Anyone who concedes even the tiniest inch of ground to MAGA extremists when it comes to LGBTQ+ civil rights is doing them a favor, at the expense of literally everyone else. Don't be fooled.

WTF. The right didn't "place" anyone anywhere. MAGA are fascist extremists who routinely violate people's civil rights. Democrats (some anyway) are trying to protect people's civil rights. There's no "centrist" position here. Either we are all free, or none of us are free. It's quite simply really.

I'm all for anybody changing their appearance however they like, but her transformation from "professional business woman" to "MAGA babe" is very strange…but also completely in line with a lot of other women in this movement. 🤷🏻♂️

Um, isn't the "summary" longer than the actual message in this case? 🤪

It astounds me that apparently at no point in this chain of endeavor did someone stop and think, huh, maybe everything we are doing and saying and publishing and promoting here is putrid horse manure. 😵💫

Nobody cares. This is a total and utter distraction. Every single Democratic leader should say this is a non-issue and fruitless media B.S. and then move on to what really matters which is the fact that our country is being systematically dismantled by Nazis who hate democracy and the rule of law.

Yeah, "farming that feeds humans uses more resources than the energy requirements of the Torment Nexus run by EvilCorp" isn't the slam dunk argument people think it is. 😅

There's a lot of work to be done in the more 'burb-y areas of Portland to make it more Europe-like, but yes, in many ways our urban fabric is pretty damn impressive—*especially* when you consider other U.S. cities of similar size.

Generative AI services as we see them today are anti-humanist, anti-craft. As a pro-craft humanist, I choose to use "bicycle for the mind" technologies which are empowering to the creative sprint, rather than strip-mining the Internet to extrude synthetic data thus destroying the environment.

“we are always engaged in evaluating how “true” an answer is, regardless of whether it comes from human or AI”
I find knowledgable sources and *then I trust them* because they know far more about their field of expertise than I do. You are misrepresenting how chains of trust are formed in society.

I don't ask "a human" for answers to questions, I ask an expert. Do you not value human expertise in specific fields of endeavor?
