Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Judge Karin Immergut’s ruling capped a dramatic weekend that included President Trump sending California National Guard members to Oregon and ordering others from Texas.

Federal judge blocks federalized guard from deploying to Oregon

Gov. Tina Kotek said Oregon is “not a military target,” and said federal officials are trying to antagonize and provoke conflict outside the ICE facility.

from our wedding this June 🤍

my husband and I cheek to cheek looking at the camera, he’s wearing a blue suit and I’m wearing a lacy off shoulder dress

My husband is hugging me from behind and I’m holding my wedding bouquet. We’re both looking at the camera and smiling.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Ohio State just advised all staff and students not to attend the SACNAS (Society for the advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) annual meeting of 6000+ scientists -- which is in Columbus, OH this year! -- saying it may be exclusionary, even though it is open to all.

The only war they need to fight in Portland is the war on invasive blackberry bushes.
