This new season of Portlandia sucks. Not funny at all

Nick Kristof @nickkristof.bsky.social · 23h

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

It's been nice revisiting this design. Very excited to be remounting this massive little show with the most excellent team!

Tim Heidecker is so good at this.

WHAT an incredible experience getting to perform at the Riyadh comedy festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty’s generosity. I’ll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

We welcome the ceasefire, but the US "peace" plan is a further denial of self-determination.

It is time Ottawa sided with justice and backed a real, lasting peace for Palestine by putting real pressure on Israel through concrete action.

Why would other countries have sympathy for the US after spending centuries of destabilizing the rest of the world.

They're gonna wait for it to tear itself apart and then divide up the spoils.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

“If the Liberals truly believe in workers’ rights, they must stop siding with corporate interests and commit to repealing Section 107 once and for all. Because workers’ rights are not optional — they are the foundation of a fair and just democracy.”
