for two months, I've been flying drones over Flock cameras to situation them in space and geography; I even got my commercial drone license in order to do it. I'd like to share this project with you all: it's called Records Of Enemy Surveillance: recordsofenemysurveillance.com

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.

@ncglasgow.bsky.social the dream of the 70’s is alive in Milwaukie? huh, that really does not have a ring to it. just thought you’d enjoy this brick

Unconscionable that 6 members of our city council gave up leverage over a fossil fuel company bc of a combination of legal scare mongering from the Zenith + lobbying from industry. Absolute dereliction of duty. I dunno about you but every time they do this stuff it just drives me to go harder.

if you look you can see this very clearly in Portland politics; the so-called "moderates" are doing this exact same thing

100% IIR there are studies showing that corrupt people and right-wingers act the way they do in part because they believe everyone else would/does act/think that way deep down or in private. I've heard it succinctly/damningly expressed as "the thief thinks everyone steals."

normal should be a government run by good people who care about making things better and are actually trying to do so

New York City is now leading the world in leftist innovation in governance in ways I always dreamed Portland would.

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.

I mean some of us are, but a lot of us aren't. All I can reasonably say is that DSA is definitely on the left

I’ve been on a BLT kick for a while (for no particular reason) and I’ve done some experimenting so I feel compelled to report my findings. I should probably post a pic of The Best BLT I Ever Made but no, sorry, I ate it

There's a shortage of investment in the youngest Americans. It creates an entirely predictable set of crises of lack of care access, care affordability, care quality, job stability, provider stability... they all derive from this same basic fact. familyfrontier.substack.com/p/the-fundin...

still trying to wrap my head around the fact that out-of-towners threw a bigotry party at a facility that is demanding $120 million from the city, and my friend got thrown out for trying to make it clear that hate has no home in Portland with a t-shirt that deliberately didn't cross into profanity

finally, the Democratic party has a plan.

Portland is good and the Blazers fan base is world class. These crybaby business people should stop blaming everyone else for their problems and pick themselves up by their own bootstraps.
