Francis Ford Coppola is my hero www.indiewire.com/news/general...

There are so many Gene Hackman roles that I love, but the first that always comes to mind is his role as Little Bill in Unforgiven. Especially when he kicks the crap out of English Bob and later mocks his booklets. And his death at the hands of William Munny is an all-time scene. RIP #GeneHackman

I’m excited for Portland! Hard, worthwhile work ahead and this optimism is needed

#LastFourWatched three very good movies and one very meh

Perhaps it was a mistake to declare independence from the british look where it’s gotten us

All the truck owners in Portland today like fuck yeah vroom

I got sent to the principal and my parents called for painting on my smock in art class in first grade.

the OTHER thing about the white house’s anti-diversity push is that like old fashioned segregation it is explicitly an effort to undermine unions! like c’mon! don’t be stupid!

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I'm going not too far out on a limb to say that this week in the Portland City Council will be among the most important weeks of the year. And this year in the City Council will almost certainly be the most important year of the next several decades. Precedents will be set. 🧵1/

"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..." Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/25/o...

wtf is up with dog owners in Portland not putting their dogs on a leash

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Incredible to read the replies to this. And then the police are like “why doesn’t the public like us??? 😭😭😭” haha they all suck

In its heyday Playboy interviewed MLK, RFK, Jane Fonda, Barbara Streisand, Malcolm X, Bertrand Russell. Why couldn't Pornhub interview AOC, Angela Davis, Sally Rooney, Judith Butler?

Much of Portland's historically Black Albina neighborhood was razed by highway projects in the mid-20th century, including the I-405 ramp on the east side of the Fremont Bridge. New federal funds may help the city scale back the "overbuilt" ramp's impact. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2025/01...

Not naming names here, so don’t ask me to, but major bummer to see any film distributors and home video labels acknowledge and support use of AI for film restoration/conversion. Just an immediate red flag for something we should all be excited about. Hire skilled people to do this work! They exist!

Please say your goodbyes and exit the hotshop
