Learned a new word that ideally should have no reason to exist Agnotology: the study of deliberate, culturally cultivated ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product, influence opinion, or win favour, particularly through the publication of disinformation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotol...

Did everyone see the climate voting records of the City Councilors who are up for re-election? Morillo - 96.6% Green - 95.8% Koyama Lane = 92.0% Clark - 55.0% Zimmerman - 50.0% Novick - 43.5% Thank you to @350pdx.bsky.social for quantifying this. 350pdx.org/wp-content/u...
First time visit. This place is cool as hell, *incredible* job with explanatory signage. We learned a ton. #PittockMansion
We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.
Seen on instagram but its cooking with Bluesky energy
Context. I want to know what movie this screenshot is from. Search function. Shows up when I’m looking for something specific, even if the keywords aren’t in the body text. Jokes and memes. Some people add that in alt text alongside context. Attribution. Just think of them like captions.

Old white boomers not beating the sexism allegations 😑
pnwpolicyangel aka Angelita 👼@pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social · 14h agoIn my first meeting with the Mayor he said I must be intimidating for boys to date. These people are inappropriate all the time!!! They’re just sometimes? More soft spoken? And they’re better and presenting different faces. I just unfortunately am the same in every room lmao
While OtM is one of my favorite shows/pods, this one struck me as exceptionally good. Have a listen.
On the Media@onthemedia.bsky.social · 12h ago“Because political polarization is a symptom, and not the root of the problem that ails us, ‘fixing’ polarization will not restore American democratic health.” – @lilymasonphd.bsky.social explains why being more civil to one another won't solve our political crisis: lnk.to/onthemedia/b...
Adobe Illustrator, which actually doubles the problem. 😑 #aiai
kat, ghost of helenruthsghost@chaoskat.bsky.social · 12h agoWe need to do something about the AL AI AI Al problem. Is this baseball? A guy named Al? Artificial Intelligence? Allen Iverson? I DON’T KNOW
Something I will never understand as long as I live is phony intellectual Republicans giving free advice to Democrats. The only advice I have for Republican politicians I'd care to share with them can't be posted on here
driftglass@driftglass.bsky.social · 2d ago"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
When the paper of record endorses abusers of staff like it’s nothing but relentlessly chided me on decorum, the unspoken here is that it’s ok to be rude, aggressive, abusive, so long as it’s not to other people in power. The line I cross is I don’t mind pushing back on the powerful.
pnwpolicyangel aka Angelita 👼@pnwpolicyangel.bsky.social · 15h agoAnyway here’s their endorsement of Sam Adams, where they cover him preying on his 17 year old intern and abusing female staff in passing and then quickly pivot to an essay of his accomplishments
anyone who has been online around the tech fascist weirdos knows that “they think everyone else is an NPC and have no theory of mind” is not an exaggeration
John Herrman@jwherrman.bsky.social · 4d agoA lot of AI assistants seem to have been built around the assumption that the rest of the world is not actually real nymag.com/intelligence...
I don't know how important this is, but it seems like it might be relevant to the trans rights discussion: I think that a lot of people 50 and younger do not remember when no one was gay. I am 64, and I was raised in a conservative household, and I absolutely remember this.
Well I hope you’re all happy, now the pope is sad. :(
"why don't we see what kalshi thinks" how about i jump out my window into the abyss instead
statler and waldorf but it’s al-sayed and ossoff heckling republicans
two good things to do this weekend: check your registration, and if you’re considering donating to a campaign it’s worth doing it now so they can get your funds matched and then actually spent before it’s too late to matter in the election

Nothing shows how clueless the punditry are than the think pieces struggling to identify why Ossoff is “effective“. I mean come the fuck on.
“What if Oregon’s manifesto, going forward, were simple? Keep the air of this place smelling like the woods. Make the water so clear you can see to the bottom. Keep the coastline open forever. Make sure Oregon stays wild: in the woods, in the cities.” oregonhumanities.org/rll/magazine...
