Lots of people are being killed in Iran right now to distract you from this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nothing in the history of the universe, in the millions of years that life has persisted, in the thousands of years since the birth of civilisation, in the decades since your birth, has ever mattered less than getting your emails to inbox zero

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

so.... interstices then?

(I hope you are also dissuading them of "the ways in which.")

Every time you hear these reassuringly small or modest energy or water use per AI query numbers, you should understand that they can only be arrived at because of the GARGANTUAN underlying scale of Big Tech's AI infrastructure (often fossil fuel-powered & out-competing communities who need water)

that focaccia tho

So... lemme get this straight. The feds are out to lunch, creating massive holes in basic budget needs. Oregon's scrambling to find pennies behind the couch to pay for education and transport, but somehow Google & Microsoft need our hard earned money? Explain it to me like I'm 6.

Tina Kotek has a LOT of explaining to do to wary voters for all the damage she's doing by supporting the oligarch agenda.

Someone's 'bout to marry his right hand.

When truth speaks, keep shouting it.

Everything Seems Like it’s Forever When climate change finally comes for corporate cultures, we might not even recognize what’s happening

We know companies don't take climate change seriously. Here I imagine what it would look like once they are forced to.

What happens when climate chaos becomes an unignorable, physical threat to the business itself? When the things we can't imagine ending actually do?

Education consultant, sister of Oregon House representative will challenge Hillsboro Democrat • Oregon Capital Chronicle Muñoz pointed to her ties to local immigrant farm working communities while noting that she was running to improve civil rights for everyone.

@orsenjaneensollman.bsky.social misread the room. Re-launched a land grab & giveaway package for the now widely-reviled tech industry - you know, the ones paying Trump to bulldoze the White House. Now getting primaried.

Love to see it.

Update: the hearing could not get through all the testimony, so a second one is happening now. Testimony window extended to Friday. The main landgrabber is now getting primaried. Keep it up friends, it's working!

TIL that parts of Hillsboro, Oregon has been turned into a Potemkin village because of land speculators sitting on hopes that a data center company will come buy just as soon as the captured local legislator makes good on her promises. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Ne...

If you want to restore your faith in humanity, browse this public testimony opposing a bill to convert farmland to "advance manufacturing" and supposedly not data centers, but really data centers, with a corporate welfare kicker. Add yours if in Oregon. olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...

(I wish I were better at social media! Sorry I wasn't super clear. The top of the thread has info about an environmentally destructive land grab happening in Hillsboro, which,might not have been obvious.) The best link is this-- friends.org/news/2026/2/...

Hi Marnie. Now that I think about it, this link is better--it has both an explanation of what's going on and a link to where you can submit testimony. friends.org/news/2026/2/...

Oregon lawmakers consider adding Hillsboro industrial land and, for data centers, even bigger tax breaks Land conservationists are rallying to kill the bill, seeking to preserve farmland.

more details www.oregonlive.com/silicon-fore... there's a bunch of sleighs of hand with respect to data centers, which in this bill need to be attached to some other enterprise, but will still amount to subsidies for big tech for no socially useful reason.

Portlanders, don't think this is a Hillsboro problem. The amount of water and electricity these things will draw will affect us too. And they are permanently enshittifying land that can sequester carbon, which affects us all. It's a bill that makes the urban growth boundary meaningless.

Oregonians! There is a land grab going on to hand over prime farmland to data centers and semiconductors, despite the AI bubble. Shady speculators are set to make a fortune, last minute hearing scheduled. Sign up to testify or submit testimony here olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2026R1/M...

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This is the best, most up to date list anywhere.

I'm sure there's plenty to go round AFTER every single struggling Portlander gets the solar panels, insulation, and heat pumps they need.

Yes, old ladies in wheelchairs on fixed incomes should definitely have to invest in insulation to do their bit to make sure that plagiarism machines get all the energy they need.

@psychopete.bsky.social Apparently Crunch Fitness belongs on your boycott list.

3 WAYS TO TAKE ACTION against a blatant corporate land grab. LC 237 aims to bring 1,700 acres of farmland into Hillsboro's UGB and extend tax breaks to billionaire corporations that can easily pay their fare share. Join us in protecting this irreplaceable farmland. Here's how:
