Introducing Gurpo
A drawing of a small blobby figure inside of an enclosure with string coming off it, with text saying "introducing Gurpo, the new wearable personal assistant. Gurpo is not a computer program, he's a real tiny guy who is trapped inside your medallion necklace. 
Gurpo hates you, but is incapable of doing anything about it, and he has to answer your questions or he gets electrocuted. It's non-lethal.
If you shake his enclosure hard enough, gurpo will throw up!"

The current political moment has shown me how many people go through life frustrated that they don’t have the right state apparatus to indulge their worst urges. They‘re not “left behind”, they’re not “lonely”, they want to hurt other people. And this is their generational opportunity.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I am BEGGING the state of Oregon to realize that funding TriMet helps downtown recovery. It’s not just transit bringing folks to downtown, it’s also the fact that union TriMet employees make decent wages and those dollars get directly put back into small businesses in our city.

194 people killed by US military boat strikes. No trials. No public evidence. Ever. Some were fishermen. It took 20 journalists 5 months just to name and identify 13 of the dead. This isn’t a drug war. It’s the blatant execution of poor people. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AFeRtpmL6Qba...

Let's get rid of the Marquam Bridge and I-5 in inner SE. A few thoughts as you watch this clip: - This isn't a new idea. - We'd recover dozens of blocks of the most valuable developable land in the City. - It will never happen LATER if we don't talk about it and plan for it NOW.

“There’s more of a flavor than a genre,” explains Cyrus Moussavi, who has run the Mississippi Records label since 2019. “It’s always amazing to me that we can release music from all these different places and styles, but they all kind of feel like they’re the same family." disc.gs/4b71RhK

Please someone in the Portland music scene steal this idea, but I’ve always thought that a great way to bring some life back to Old Town is to host a music festival similar to the way that Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle is set up. There’s space to make it an even bigger festival than Seattle!
