Keeping Portland weird!! Love it.
Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

My ideology is that we should give a super-competent guy lifetime dictatorial power so we can build a high-public-sector-capacity developmental state. Now to take a big sip of my coffee and see the competence level of the guy we've elevated to lead the country I live in.

two thing that annoys me about Lee Kuan Yew worship is that nobody who does it seems to care about *modern* singaporean politicians and American right-wingers who do it would never accept LKY's policies of, e.g., massive public housing projects in a country that makes posting racism illegal

Trump is so fucking tone deaf on China that he's turned South Korea into China 2.
Now Hong Kong really is going to be Singapore 2.
Maybe that's the only way for him to understand things as clones of each other.

I don't like Cities: Skylines because the thought of downloading a map of the SF Bay Area and seeing what this region could be if not horribly mismanaged makes me very depressed

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Any politician who is willing to throw trans people under the bus at this point is either spineless, genuinely hateful, or both. In any case, they cannot under any circumstances be trusted with power.
Just to be clear, if Rahm fucking Emanuel is the Dem nominee for president in 2028, I will not vote for him. And the rest of the Dems need better advisers.

Tbh I think long term a lot of AI stuff ends up like the holodeck in Star Trek: Yeah sure most people use it as a way to LARP in their fantasy universes, but if you start to treat it as a complete substitute for real life people rightfully think that you’ve developed a mental illness.
