- Proud as hell of MSP, the city I spend the most time in these days when I’m not in Portland and nearly a second home.
- Reposted by Hans Friedrichyou know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
- Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

- Finally found a good reason to play with running models locally - LLM trained exclusively on pre-1913 texts. github.com/DGoettlich/h...
- This this this is the difference between winning political instincts and wielding power vs an endless critique of power. Seize the mantle.

- 41. I injured my knee “training” for a turkey trot and have an Ortho appointment next week. I’m wearing a comfy dad flannel and sipping my second IPA while sitting next to my gas fireplace in the house I couldn’t afford to buy until I was 38. Just living authentically here.

- Surprised she has time between her busy schedule of demolishing every outdoor dining structure in Portland.
- We’ve been trying to reach you about your democracy’s extended warranty
- Cannot unsee 😂
- A government of the choads, by the choads, for the choads.

- Currently 20% into Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds and man, I dunno… the world is fun but the expository prose and wooden characters are making me dread picking it back up. Competition between my Protestant guilt around DNF’ing novels and desire to jump to something more enjoyable.

- Has anyone done a labeler yet for people with anarcho-anything in bio? Asking for a friend.

- I’m Multnomah County consolidation-curious. multnomo.org
- And still 2 years younger than President Dementia!
- It brings me no joy to report that the PNW oldheads who tell you the way to survive winter here is to get out in the weather are correct (started running again in the AM to prep for a Thanksgiving 5K, happiest early November in years)
- The government being closed, no jobs report, but SPY still being up by nearly 1/2 a percent this morning has some real “no parents, no rules” energy.

- On a “let’s refresh my notetaking setup again” kick and coming to terms with the fact that although I wish I was a curator I’m actually just a hoarder, and that at 41 I need to embrace that instead of trying to grow out of it.
- God give me the confidence of Claude Code solving a problem. "The key is to!" declared 5 times over in the same chat. Although credit where credit's due: it solved it in the end, 10x faster than I would have.
- Reposted by Hans FriedrichEverything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
- This isn’t funny at all. Falls are the leading cause of accidental death for adults age 65 and over. There’s a non-zero chance he faceplants into a crumpled orange pile while descending the Air Force One stairs one of these days, and yet you people are laughing? Shame.
- 💯 absolute fucking projectionist nonsense. I have a lovely big house now, took me till age 39 to buy it. Knock down the house next to me. Build a fourplex. Clog my street parking. Obstruct my views. Give me some great new restaurants and cute kids to come trick or treating.
- I enjoy reading non-fiction on my Kindle but sometimes when I’m sitting at 78% and hit the next page button I get a “wait, the book is over?” jump scare that doesn’t happen in print. (I just finished @lioneltrolling.bsky.social’s excellent and heavily-footnoted When The Clock Broke)
