if you haven't done trail work before - I strongly recommend it!!! the forest park conservancy is responsible for our trails being beautiful around Portland. All it takes is a single outing on unmaintained trails to viscerally feel how much is lost when trail work falls to the wayside

we should tax Waymo for presence in portland, and have outsized penalties for them for unsafe driving, resulting in compensation to the city/citizens. This could fund public transit options (trimet) I don't understand the pdx approach to ban technology, rather than force it to become a net good

This is a "Jane Jacob's" classic take, which would be one of the most significant ways to improve Portland. It's slightly counter-intuitive from a left political perspective, but this area (zoning) is one where I firmly believe reducing bureaucracy, mandates, & laws would be a game-changer

the recent AI discourse has me feeling things, so it's still worth stating for the record: - AI as a "self-justified product" for end-users is usually shit - AI for tooling does not release you from responsibility of what is produced - You can (and should) still do things by hand, whenever you want

in college I took courses on machine learning. As a part of that, we built simple neural networks - from scratch - which could generate text, make classifications, etc. If you really hate AI, consider what the breaking point might be here. Do you truly hate the technology, or the way it's applied?

It's possible to be skeptical and concerned about AI companies (disinformation, neurosis, lack of critical thinking, job security, plagiarism) while also acknowledging usage patterns of the public. quote responses to this reinforce how correct @davidcrespo.bsky.social is about "bubble opinion"

I read the proposal. This is NOT a fee on arbitrary property owners/businesses that might have protestors. It IS a fee on detention centers that deploy chemical deterrents onto public spaces. So, in case there any confusion: it's hard to see how this would be bad for 99.99% of businesses

So, many thoughts: 1. This seems like an obviously bad idea 2. Can we have a discussion about whether or not the PCEF funding structure is actually working? Both in terms of "what it set out to do", but also, how is it possible for this fund to be such a constant raiding target?

Just in case this isn't clear to anyone: - the president declared war on Portland, and wants the national guard to use full force against the "hellfire" of citizens here - our city council used to have a group chat And Willamette Week is more concerned about that second bullet point

it feels extremely jarring to try to focus on anything else while the federal government declares war on the city I live in, using rhetoric showing they're clearly hungry to murder civilians this moment feels like a calm before a (preventable, unnecessary, trump-instigated, amoral) shitstorm

I run by south waterfront in PDX at least once a week. People have been peacefully, persistently protesting in front of the ICE building for many months now. Nothing "new" justified any federal action - they're clearly looking for a fight. Hoping Portland can go where agents are not. (1/3)
