Majority of TriMet Board Members Don't Ride Public Transit https://www.portlandmercury.com/news/2024/08/01/47334749/majority-of-trimet-board-members-dont-ride-public-transit

Still kinda reeling from the discovery that Abus, the company that makes locks and helmets, is operated by a misogynistic christian cult. “Shaped by christian principles” seems to hide a whole lot of bigotry every time.

I hope Kryptonite don’t have dark secrets, who else will I buy bike locks from if they do 😬

@flexghost those fuckers invaded pdx again and again for years, each time with the help of the cops, each time crossing state lines while articulating intent to do assaults, & each time doing assaults.

Little wonder they’re totally shocked at finally facing any consequences.

TIL that Christoper Robin, the kid whose teddy bear inspired the Winnie the Pooh stories, was credited with killing 28 Wehrmacht soldiers in the Battle of the Bulge.

not claiming any special insight, just that the rigged fuckedness of our world happened to overlap significantly with my stupid illusions and fantasies at the time. a combination of dumb cultural absorption, resentment, & cringe romanticism.

when i was young i felt early that if success or money came my way it would be due to luck or advantage, not hard work. other friends who were artists expressed frustrations that seemed confusing to me. now i get that they were trying to build careers. which was smarter than me, but maybe accidentally less perceptive.

Photo Journalist Pete Souza was suspended from X (#Twitter) today for posting a photograph of former President Trump that was published by the Associated Press. The photograph showed Trump's seemingly undamaged ear.

This man has twice worked in the White House as the official photographers of both Ronald Reagan and Barrack Obama. He is a respected professional photojournalist.

Edit: fix

The Italian Renaissance style former Wylie Department Store on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. Built in 1889, it was designed by John Hutchison, with details drawn by his assistants Andrew Black and Charles Rennie MacKintosh. MacKintosh may have been responsible for some of the ornate internal plaster column capitals on the ground and first floors. These were still present until at least 2012, and may still be in place.
