Book cover that shows a Ford Raptor driving at twilight. A hand is seen from the driver's side window littering loads of fast food onto the side of the road. A banner says in the corner, "An unauthorized Dean Koontz Parody".

I've said it dozens of times. City government should put up live cams around the ICE facilities, the downtown area, and have them broadcast live feed, 24/7, on the city's website so people can go look for themselves whenever they wish.

If I lived in Portland I’d be filming daily videos of the reality there and sending them to every single person in my contacts.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

When all is said and done, they will be back in the 1600s and fight the 30 Years’ War again

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia"

Something that’s really stuck with me I read here…violence is the form of resistance the government is most prepared to deal with.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.

To be fair, this iteration of the Birds is one of the youngest teams in the league, has one of the best records, and Siriani won the Super Bowl 7 games ago.

I’m still hoping something comes together this year, though obviously there’s multiple things wrong right now.

Large mammals of every variety scare me.

I’m also a large mammal and I try to remember that I might scare other people.

Bill Maher’s outed himself in about a million ways but going to the WH and getting bought off by Trump being nice to him was possibly the most telling thing he’s ever said (not that I watch him).

Sam Morey @pensandlighters.bsky.social · 1d

You don’t have any different information than I do.

They needed to get this done ASAP and it lingered for years, long enough for the SCOTUS to kick the can down the road.

If you want to be a leader you’re going to get judges on results. They wanted Trump to go away on his own and banked on that.
