OK you guys. Strapping on the welding goggles and steel toed boots to attempt an account migration.

See you on the other side at PDX.SOCIAL!

@astoriadave Yeah, agreed. My first impression was “holy shit, this is a firehose of awful.”

“You, boy, what social media website am I posting from?”

@RyanTClarke at least we don't have to worry about relegation as the wheels fall off the bus #silverlining #rctid

Another entry in our campaign to get stickers into the hands of North American Unioner*innen.

This design dates back to the Europa Conference League, but it’s become truer every year! -rm

I thought I might gear up for the #4th by wearing my Biden/Harris tee and cap and jacket and underpants and, I don't know, fucking cape-flag, but then I remembered I don't have a bunch of clothing that tells people who I voted for in the last election because I'm not in a fascist fucking cult.

The Royal Mile now literally smells like horse shit. That's about right.

@dunkle They should just call it the draw it’s inevitably gonna be.

And THAT is why strikers flop.

If he goes down the ref points to the spot. #rctid

I know we all hate on Space Karen, but Jack is probably the second worst person on the site because like Elon, he's built up a pseudointellectual mystique and people legitimately think he's a Smart and Interesting Person. He's not. He's a mediocre rich guy who thinks walking an hour every day and meditating in silence makes him better than you.

It makes me tired, how much navel gazing went on at Twitter about how to moderate and who to moderate. Most of it seemed to stem from Jack wanting to be philosophical about shit he didn't need to get that deep about, and then it got inherited down the line by a bunch of business types.

Harassment is harassment is harassment and if people are having mental breaks when they use their site, something is deeply wrong with the protocol. You fucking fix it.

And on that note, I'm signing off for a few days. Social engineering is hard, but with as much talent and wealth as Twitter had -- well, it's sad to see what it's become.

@GorgeCorps That was gonna be my call as well. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@scuttlefield Hahahaha YES!

🌡️ HEAT ADVISORY until 23:00 Wed
🔥 RED FLAG WARNING until 23:00 Wed

Sunny, hazy, and hot with a high near 35°C. Breezy and dry this afternoon and evening promoting extreme #fire behavior including during peak #fireworks time. If there was ever a day to be an anti personal firework evangelist, it’s today.

Similar conditions tomorrow; temperatures moderating toward the weekend.

@GorgeCorps (thanks for the tips link)

@GorgeCorps I saw that you’d done it – partly what prompted my question. That “reason to got to the local timeline” is key … here’s hoping more folks climb aboard. :)

Hey youse who are on the pdx.social instance – how do you like it?

#pdxsocial

Are you queer/trans and want to do some acting? An anarchist who is good with lighting or sound? A weirdo in Portland who just wants to be part of a movie?

Hit me up if you’re interested in being part of a no budget vaguely anarchist almost entirely trans pseudo horror film. I have a script, most of the equipment, and a ton of time on my hands. Gonna start casting/getting folks on board in the next couple of weeks!!

GOOD MORNING from my new favorite placement. 👀

@BlackAzizAnansi watching the feds deploy chemical weapons and snatch people off the street to crush BLM protests in Portland.
