Oh hell yeah, that is genuinely awesome. I hope they do some cool stuff with it.
BREAKING NEWS: We just won a court order requiring the Trump administration to restore billions in funding for disaster mitigation projects – including in Medford, Grants Pass, and Clatsop County. #orpol #breakingnews
I believe it was @golikehellmachine.com who first observed here that if he ever had his shirt off in front of a tattooist while getting his other work done, they would have noticed his Nazi tattoo & engaged him forcefully on the question of why he had it, & whether he wanted to be rid of it
Totally possible. I've had bots do large removals of content on other platforms accidentally in the past because of something getting flagged.
Woah, that is super weird. Haven't seen anything like that on any account I've worked with on here.

i could get danish citizenship, which i was initially against because i'd really prefer seeing this place improving... but damn it is getting more tempting
Yesterday I wrote a short piece about the radical joy in Alysa Liu's gold-medal-winning skate and Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show and how art and joy is a threat to authoritarians. It's resonated with a lot of folks, maybe also with you. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

We can’t even fund baseline transportation needs but can afford these tax breaks for unpopular tech?!
An Oregon State University forest scientist emerita called the proposal "insanity," saying these carbon-storing forests are among the most effective in the world at fighting climate change.

I would have loved to be in the writers room for this one
Deep banjo lore. My high school geometry teacher played banjo with Steve Martin too when they filmed Novocaine at his house.
Can't believe I remember this existing, but Funny or Die did a banjo skit with Ed and Steve Martin youtu.be/2rWzVhDQquI?...
