Today my brother released a cool album of ambient synth music with field recordings made around the Nehalem River watershed. I helped him release it on my long dead/dormant "record label". moderndocuments.com Go buy a tape and/or the digital files! portalithics.bandcamp.com/album/nehale...

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

Just a reminder that “Knicks” is short for the “Knickerbockers” which means they are always bocking knickers, which in England means “sniffing undies.” The Brooklyn Nets is short for “Netterbockers” which means they sniff nets.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Is golf somehow WORSE for your body than skateboarding? "He had what is believed to be his 7th back surgery Oct. 10 to replace a disk in his lower back that caused pain and mobility issues." Obvi skating is a million times cooler & more fun but maybe it's healthier too. www.espn.com/golf/story/_...

I've always been curious as to the owner of this absolutely hideous mansion on the Willamette. Turns out that it's the landlord of the Portland ICE building, Stuart Lindquist, who also hit a protester with his car. Fuck this dude. www.wweek.com/news/courts/...

Immigration advocates say if you see ICE targeting someone, knowing what to do in the moment is critical to protecting immigrants. It’s hard to know what to look for, but this guide can help you better understand how to be an effective bystander in Oregon, and your legal right to do so.

What to do if you spot ICE in your community

Amid President Trump’s immigration crackdown, local community networks are the first line of defense. Here’s what Oregon advocates say you should do if you see agents detaining someone.

Love to pay Providence upwards of $400 a month for a shitty health plan and then get an estimate for a test that will cost $2000, with Providence paying none of the cost, even though they're the provider. Suffice to say, I won't be getting the test. Worst "health care system" in the fuckin' world.
