The emergency naked bike ride seems to have very successfully annoyed a bunch of the people who don’t live in Portland, wouldn’t normally spend time in Portland, but have ~ opinions ~ about Portland

I read Peter Thiel’s essay on Alan Moore’s Watchmen and it unquestionably proves that piss poor media literacy is foundational to this recent rise of fascism.

Not gonna link the troll but Bari Weiss clearly represents “thought police” more than 100,000 Bluesky leftists scolding you for writing a defense of Weiss ever will, and ignoring that reality is clearly designed to curry the favor of thought police.
