Not a warzone. This is #Portland today as I drove by to pick up baguettes. Yes, that is the protest area past the building. At night, #ICE will send out their suburban teens, MAGA influencers and mall police flunkie troopers to agitate and toss smoke bombs. Music Credit: @kmhd.bsky.social

"Whenever our interior life becomes caught up in its own interests and concerns, there is no longer room for others, no place for the poor."

From the EVANGELII GAUDIUM by Pope Francis, cited by Pope Leo XIV as a guiding document of his papacy. #Pope28

If we start eliminating all "bullshit jobs" half of the job force will be unemployed and the economy will crash. Maybe BS jobs serve a societal purpose. Anyways, David Graeber wrote a great book on this topiccall Bullshit Jobs. Check it out.

For those unfamiliar with the film, that is a group of American housewives with disposable income being ushered from a consumer sales conference to other corporate curated tourist sites. A lone American seems wistful for a genuine Parisian experience.
