I like talking about things that start with “p” like politics (pragmatic progressive), psychedelics, psychoanalysis, philosophy, Portland, the Pacific Northwest & “m”—music, mushrooms. Parent of 2 teens. Daimista (IYKYK).

If you’re in the market for a therapist try asking them if they’d be okay with a Bravo crew sittin’ in on a sesh and if they say yes, keep looking

Constitutional amendments that nullify everything that allowed Trump to exist, use power as they have, and make it clear this was wrong; also should declare the Trump Admin an insurrection; and exiling of large numbers from Govt—elected and Admin. As in, if you joined ICE, you cannot serve in Govt.

Roadside Attraction would easily compete as the best bar in the Twin Cities and I’m not sure it’s even, like, special here? It’s infuriating

Genuinely annoyed how many cool bars and restaurants Portland has. Every few blocks, a bar Minneapolis would kill for

Costumed protesters in Portland defy description of the city as a 'war zone'

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

John Travolta’s Prince Valiant-with-a-soul-patch look is an affront to God!

Truly just a bad bad movie.

But: Halle Berry does have beautiful boobs and I don’t care that it was completely gratuitous for her to show then to us.

One of the most ridiculous movies I’ve ever seen!

This scene one of the most ridiculous scenes I’ve ever seen!

Oh really? Ha! That was just the first picture that comes up if you search for “LBJ standing over people”

Which autofills as soon as you’ve put in “LBJ st” must get searched quite a bit!

What do you base this claim on? Have you lived in “the Third World”? If so where?

Mr. Chimpanzy @cyanescens.bsky.social · 6h

This seems like a fair and reasonable comparison of the two cities.

So we’re going to have to ask you to leave social media now, that sort of behavior is completely unacceptable.

Long string of non-entities

Sam Adams: somewhat memorable, but not in a good way.

Long string of non-entities

Vera Katz: She was pretty cool?

Then somewhere in the misty depths of time there’s Bud Clark, the guy who’s best remembered for the “Expose yourself to art” picture

They really have been unmemorable for quite a while now huh?

Okay you guys gotta specify Eric since we had an Adams for mayor with some issues in the not too distant past & this was getting really confusing

Mr. Chimpanzy @cyanescens.bsky.social · 6h

Honestly if we were electing a new mayor in a few weeks the frog would have a good shot at winning

Glorious hundreds of years old Doug Firs, winters that won’t make your toes fall off, did we already mention the fucking Pacific ocean is an hour or so away? Yeah, already mentioned the ocean okay, a huge city park that’s an extinct volcano, a live volcano you can climb up on the rim of the caldera…

Was very weirdly aggressive for sure, way beyond what even that sort of misunderstanding might justify

This is really spot on, it’s just mirror-image American exceptionalism.

Instead of the greatest and most wonderful nation of all time, we’re the worst and most malevolent. Either way, we’re the only ones with agency in the world, everyone else is basically NPCs
