I feel like the focus on revoking the permit is kind of weird, if you're gonna ask the city to do something it legally can't do why not ask them to do something cooler like having the police physically stop ICE agents from abducting people? Like if you're asking for something illegal go all the way.

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk.

NEW: Rockstar now says it fired 30 employees in the UK for leaking information (not for engaging in union activity), but UK union IWGB told Game Developer that staff in the country have a statutory right to engage in private conversation with union organisers that supersedes any employment contract.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

Assassin's Creed pulls planned game about the Civil War, apparently because having a black protagonist fighting the KKK would offend too many Americans

Never because all these giant companies are too big to completely collapse, at most they'll lay off 1000s screwing over the people working there and move on with basically zero conveniences.

The exterior of the downtown redmond transit station for the number 2 line train.

A pedestrian and bike area underneath the raised tracks.

Train number 227 waiting in the station

The inside area of the transit station, with a set of stairs, an escalator, and an elevator to go up to the train.

Got to check out the Downtown Redmond transit station while on my way back home from Washington. Looks really nice and seems like it's connected with the bike paths that connect the region. Overall seems very cool and would have loved to have had this when I went to college up there.

I mean looking at what's said there the algorithm will still be owned by ByteDance so whether it becomes a propaganda tool entirely depends on if the American company actually can influence the algorithm at all or if it's still ultimately controlled by ByteDance. Still definitely worrying though.

Rose Quarter freeway project construction to begin in August despite $1.5B funding gap

TriMet will reduce service, make layoffs to close $300 million budget gap

These two headlines provide a nice little snapshot on how politicians are handling transportation governance is in progressive, blue state Oregon. #orleg #orpol

TriMet: Service cuts will start in November A 10% overall cut to service is expected by August 2027.

TriMet blamed the failure of the Oregon Legislature, years of budget reductions and, "staggering cost increases in almost everything related to running the transit system, including labor, vehicles, facilities, contractors, equipment and software."

I think if you take the 4:20pm one you can ride all the way down and back up in a little over an hour, same with the one right after that too.

House Rep Mark Gamba speaks out on why Democrats didn't pass a transportation bill The former Milwaukie mayor opens up about what went wrong.

"Republicans will say whatever emotional message will get their story across, so it’s really easy to gin up emotions when you don’t have to have any concern whatsoever for the truth... that propaganda works. It works on Democrats as well..." - House Rep Mark Gamba

Here’s what failure to pass HB 2025 means for @trimet.org, sorry for lack of alt text, but high level:

27% cut of service in two years, 45 of 79 bus lines

THIS IS THE HIGHEST URGENCY - a transportation bill could pass Oregon Legislature today that funds only ODOT - no safety, no transit, no cities and counties.
