just your weekly reminder that pre-merger promises are absolutely worthless, and nothing any of these companies say about merger impacts or outcomes should be taken seriously, ever. Especially in a country too corrupt to have functioning antitrust and consumer protection regulators.

I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

LinkedIn is running ICE ads.

...I guess they blocked us both, too.🤷🏻‍♂️

😂 I commented with snark but then just decided to block this person for turning a marginal political disagreement into an attempt to insult me personally, that's all.

Good Morning, friends.
How do I know this is true?
Because I was purged last month and had to request a provisional ballot. Then I watched as it was officially counted.
We, The People, have to stand up to this corrupt regime.

Sunset Boulevard review – Hollywood never looked more glorious or more tragic Gloria Swanson is extraordinary as faded film-star Norma Desmond in Billy Wilder’s cameo-packed self-referential masterpiece about tinseltown ghosts and delusions

My review of the re-release of Sunset Boulevard (1950) (dir. Billy Wilder) is up here: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

The Portlandiest store ever to Portland.

A cool fountain pen. Some fancy chocolate. A gift card to someplace you want to buy something from...

You are not “less than” because you’re disabled.

You do not deserve to suffer, go hungry, be homeless or be denied healthcare.

You shouldn’t have to “prove” your worth to others.

Your disability is not a moral failing, and you do not need to justify it to anyone.

Ancient civilizations, now lost beneath the waves, once had a calendar by which they could predict Bandcamp Friday.

The Hidden Psychology of Cognitive Dissonance How one therapist overcame formative experiences of cognitive dissonance, and how she now supports others to do the same.

Many of us live with the mental and emotional strain of holding conflicting truths about ourselves and our world. Here's why this cognitive dissonance can be so harmful—and what we can do about it. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/bend...

Yes, words do mean things. My hope is that sloganeers on the left learn to choose better ones.

There's a 2FA scam going on, too: Call comes in from someone saying they're with Schwab or Fidelity or whomever, saying there's some issue or other with your account. So they've got you logging into your account, and when you get the 2FA text, they ask for that number over the phone. Pretty slick.

Reform the Police is not a weaker slogan, it's an actionable slogan and it doesn't kick the hornet's nest like "defund" did. "Defund the Police" was needlessly polarizing, and yes, it did cost elections.

friendly reminder: ai being pushed so hard and so vehemently into education is not because "this future is inevitable and we have to adapt"

it's because companies have invested billions into this technology and they need everyone to use it to make a profit.

This might be the Blueskyiest post ever to Bluesky.

I'll sing their praises. They've been doing custom MTM suits in Portland for almost 20 years. They once made a beautiful jacket for me with some custom vintage features and it fit like bespoke. I only wish I could still wear it today, but my 38R days are over.🤷🏻‍♂️

😂 You would indeed stand out — but in a good way! Makes me want to revisit Duchess again and see if they still offer that cut (and if I can even remotely afford it).

And here's a GoFundMe to help her out (because her prescient critiques of Silicon Valley didn't make her any friends -- or much money either).

Tech bros watched Gattaca and thought it was a how-to.
Tech bros looked up Robert Klark Graham and thought he was onto something.
Tech bros watched The Stepford Wives and thought "ideal".

I support you. Whether you are learning to walk again, breathe again, love again, or believe and hope again…I am WITH you. I am that hand you need to lift you up when your knees buckle. The pieced together heart you thought would be broken forever. You matter, your presence matters and is needed ❤️

Same. He used to get his louche suits from Duchess Clothier in Portland, of all places. (I only know this because I also got a suit from Duchess back in the day.)

Green cards are not easy to get.

The process is arduous, lengthy and expensive.

Trump is threatening to “re-examine” and denaturalize green card holders from 19 countries.

This will destroy lives. Tear apart families.

It won’t make America any safer.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

The splash page to Roger Stone's tailoring collection. It says "The Roger Stone Collection. Exclusive pre-order release."

Yesterday, Roger Stone announced his partnership with a menswear company, where together they've released a collection of tailored clothing items.

Here is my review of those pieces. 🧵

Let’s look at some Ukrainian art.

I went on a little art hunt today.
No, I won’t give russians even a chance to think they can break us.
