RELISH IN THE SCREAMS OF YOUR ENEMIES! CAN YOU TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT?

For over a week now, these helicopters have been flying over our usually quiet Portland suburb.

YouTube video by Rudolf Owens Two Blackhawks continued ongoing surveillance over Portland, OR, October 3, 2025

To those outside of #Portland: We're still having excessive military style tactics here, a nearly entirely boring and peaceful place. At least 1 Blackhawk is now circling again over the city at night, just to please those who care nothing for democracy. How it sounds.

In response to an investigation launched by the federal government into the Portland Police Bureau’s policing practices at the local ICE facility, the city attorney shot back, laying out a pattern of excessive force used on protesters, and favoritism toward conservative streamers by federal police.

Dinosaurs got bone cancer, which means we can study TUMOR FOSSILS.

I've since read about some other dinos species with evidence of tumors, but I still suspect there was something about hadrosaurs that made them prone to it.

It’s come to my attention that some of you don’t know/forgot that Bari Weiss dated Kate McKinnon. This is a crucial element of her lore.

I did draw it immediately in the time between replying to your post and now 😅

I think people take for granted the ability to post freely on the internet. Our ability to do so is endangered. Social media isn't going away but the powers that be are hyper focused on making it an echo chamber

1 to 2 Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth each day

"There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day ... Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day." 😳

If you only knew how much of tech's energy is devoted to building better tools for abusers

I feel like every day for the past month I have said to a new person that I hate living in a world where this man is genuinely dangerous and has way too much power, because he’s the goofiest loser alive and we deserve to be able to sincerely enjoy the comedy he’s providing

I’m just a girl, standing in front of Dan Rather, asking him to go absolutely scorched-earth on Bari Weiss

Flooding them with love normalizes the transition and makes it easier for more to want to take it.

Welcome the new Gaylors like our lives depend on it, my lovelies.

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

this one’s been on ice radar for a long time. but they are tracking all similar sites and apps, as well widely alerting local police to their use by residents, claiming they promote violence.

Meanwhile a Chevron oil refinery blew up in El Segundo last weekend and spewed toxic smoke into the atmosphere for 12 hours, and Chevon's response was "we're reworking protocol"

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

The grand unified “Everyone is Twelve” theory is a legit contribution to contemporary thought and critique. We really are ruled by evil adult children!

It’s wild how much hate people get for pointing out that Taylor Swift’s mass market lyricism and artistry about white heterosexual womanhood do in fact reflect and contribute to the sociopolitical culture we all share. Certain types of fandom are actively hostile to cultural critique!
