Of course Ed Sheeran's Irish band, Beoga, quit on him after he dropped Macklemore for saying "Free Palestine"! Irish musicians are at the forefront of speaking out against the genocide of Palestine. We covered this here: www.theflytrapmedia.com/censorship-o...

Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization

The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.

Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

Why CSS-Tricks Has Been Quiet Lately - Geoff Graham

Because I haven't published anything to it since August 31. And no one else has either. That's not a super long time to go silent but it is for a site that

I try not to be reductive but some days it really does feel like everyone is either (1) an absolute asshole who faces zero consequences or (2) the kindest soul you know getting absolutely pummeled by life with no relief in sight

get ready to cyber bully your legislators that restoring and expanding bus service is a nonnegotiable component of a 2027 transportation package. It won’t happen unless we annoy the crap out of them with untold hundreds of angry constituents blowing up their inboxes and phone lines

As I wait on a busy road for a bus that is perpetually coming in 12 minutes I’m just reminded how the city of Portland, the county of Multnomah, the regional Metro, and the State of Oregon really don’t give a shit about anyone who isn’t in a car. It’s obvious, shameful, and inexcusable.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

the conceit here is to pass off basically a Municipal Reagonomics sentiment as pragmatism. progressive pragmatism even! why i just openly identify as a democratic socialist, bc it’s important to be clear about what your program is. this shit is a tax cut for the rich and privatization program

Pretty disappointed to see a handful of notable Portland restaurants lend their name to the latest “Portland business chamber in sheep’s clothing” PAC. props for how breathlessly they repeat the word “progressive” in their rhetoric to justify their plan of tax cuts and more cops www.goportlandgo.org

I do think it’s wonderfully clarifying that when a beloved public figure dies who inspires genuine grief across generations and subcultures, 99 times out of 100 they were an artist. be kind, make art.

It is frustrating trying to be an honest, considerate, hardworking person, when many signs indicate it is much more lucrative right now to be a liar and a grifter with no moral core or ethical framework for daily life. I just hope these people eventually get what they deserve.

in which @annaleen.bsky.social asks us to dream big: “What if we gave public transportation the same amount of money that investors have given to AI? With billions of dollars, what could transit do? And how might it transform our cities and lives?” www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...

A Modest Proposal for Funding Transit Instead of AI

In the ’60s, the Bay Area almost got a high-speed train from Marin to San Jose. What could happen if we dreamed big again?
