Instead of the usual intro (a mild pitch for support), OPB now starts their audio stream with a link for info about Trump's Republican cuts to their budget, and what the impacts will be.
Republican Nazis are going to destroy everything in their path where they are not met with resistance. This is Stephen Miller's world. We can't imagine the genius in such a gloriously narrow mind as his.
Oaths. They are like cookies. Not the ones we eat, silly. The ones every website leaves on our devices. The ones we ignore.
In case anyone is getting the wrong idea, I do actually cherish #OPB! I just get a bit irritated when people let bad faith masquerade as genuine inquiry; and I understand that it’s a tricky thing to maneuver around sometimes in journalism
I just took action to save my local public media stations!
Public media is a lifeline for emergency alerts, educational content, and trusted news. If you value it, now’s the time to fight for its future. Email your lawmakers now: https://bit.ly/3YMxiXB #ProtectMyPublicMedia #NPR #OPB #BoostThis
Oops, the headline is clearly "inanity" but the URL slug is "insanity"

For many years I’ve been helping Josephine Library Community District, a small library district in Southern Oregon.
Their story is quite exceptional. And they’re in a very red area, so they’re always fighting the good fight.
OPB (Oregon’s PBS) ran a wonderful segment on them. It’s about their team, the libraries, and their battle.
I’m proud of them. And my website is featured in the intro. 🥰

Tour An Only-In-Oregon Highway Where Bikes

#OregonFieldGuide
A lonely mountain highway cuts across the Oregon Cascades. And for a few weeks a year before the summer driving season, this section of Highway 242 is open only to cyclists.

@apnewsbot a few years ago, @aaronscott_dp produced for #OPB a fantastic #Podcast called #TimberWars that provided me as a European great insights into the history and politics around #OldGrowthForests
I have a question: Why is it no one talks about #antifascist #MichaelReinoehl? It seems to me as if he was forgotten.
I'm looking his name up because I don't know much about him.
I found this (haven't read them yet) from #OPB by #ConradWilson 31 March 2021:

Any1 from PDX want to give comments?
Great story from OPB:
"AI slop is already invading Oregon’s local journalism"
https://www.opb.org/article/2024/12/09/artificial-intelligence-local-news-oregon-ashland/
"Silicon Valley’s latest hot technology is being used to further degrade the news available to Oregonians"
I'm already an OPB member but I might send them another donation in support!

Just discovered this very cool watercolor #artist in Gresham (PDX) Oregon while watching #opb. Dean Crouser's work is so very easy to look at, great emotion and composition, vivid colors and awesome scenes.
Will be buying these two as 8 x 10 ceramic wall tiles and a set of 12 greeting cards for my wife's Xmas gift. And no, she does not read this platform, ever.
"Adventure cats blaze new trails in Oregon’s great outdoors"

"Nicol Alcain strolled through the trees in Stub Stewart State Park alongside her Bengal cat, Kazuki …
Other than minor distractions from woodland creatures, Kazuki was content staying on the trail. Alcain used a leash and harness to walk Kazuki, something she trains all her cats to do from the time they’re kittens."
Has a short video with captions😻
We need more projects like this one in Lane County, Oregon. Land fills are...well, filling up. Methane from anaerobic decomposition is escaping into the air. This project will minimize what goes into the landfill. From #OPB
@alexwild Agreed! I just renewed my OPB membership:
"Is an arctic fox loose in Portland? Experts aren’t sure"
https://www.opb.org/article/2024/10/10/arctic-fox-portland-experts-comments/
"It looked like a fox kit — but it was white, not a color typical of vulpine species native to the Pacific Northwest. Arctic foxes, which are white, live much farther north in cold tundra regions of the continent."
Thursday, October 10, #Portland political wonks, it's a live taping of #OPB 's Politics Now at PAM's adult theater turned arthouse cinema. Drink Negronis while sizing up city council candidates.

Thanks to #Google for protecting the #OPB community by preventing bots (and, incidentally, me) from watching a live debate.
Some good news or at least interesting news for mountain glaciers. Have you ever noticed a Rock Glacier?
