Lots of cities have been re doing them. It's been fun to see the evolution. Salem Oregon adopted this one a few years ago. Huge improvement over their old one.
Apparently it's international corgi day . So here's penny at our local pet parade.
Sports was fun last night in Portland. Go @thornsfc.com ! Ps someone needs to analyze that refs draft kings account. Cannot believe those calls.
My new short story reads even better on real paper. It's been a real treat getting to hear what folks think of it. My issue, and entire back catalogue, of Savage Realms Monthly is available on Amazon.
Saw some jousting today at the Canterbury Renaissance Faire. Was sick as hell.
Tomorrow we're gonna get together with friends and family and try to have a good time. And that feels important today. But it's not to celebrate anything red, white, and blue. No, tomorrow is my puppy's first birthday.
Decided to get outta the house for a bit. Saw some neat stuff around Taiwan during Computex 2025.
Cleaning out some old stuff and found this depiction of the solar system... Some of these depictions make sense. But what are they trying to say about mars with those mushroom clouds? Why is there a temple titled "Olympus" on Jupiter? I guess I get that one... But doesn't mean it isn't confusing.
I took a break from doom scrolling bsky for a week. And I'm happy to tell you all, it's okay to take a week off. Shit will still be fucked when you come back. It will continue to become fucked with or without your attention. I saw some irl big boys while away.
If you see this quote with a photo of a bridge from your gallery Also good Lord, scrolled for like 30 mins to find a picture of all of Portland's bridges in one frame and finally had to settle on this off center picture of Shinkyō Bridge
Like no joke, this is a post in Salem's craiglist page for musicians. lmao. What a joke. "Wanna play REAL shows with REAL production value? SEND ME YOUR MUSIC" random caps is so boomer coded.
Of course. dormant account. Probably talking about how great they are on the other place.
Are you fucking kidding me @mohelaofficial.bsky.social ? Answer the fucking phone.
Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam or The Breeders or Soul Coughing or They Might Be Giants: Ezpz don't even have to think. Vitamin C's Vacation rips so hard.
So not only were a record number of people having power disconnection. But the cost of power is being driven by industrial customers. In 2025 we will be paying almost 50% more than in 2020. And it appears to be driven, at least in part, by the AI boom, which we will never see the fruits of.
Sometimes when I'm writing I get stuck on one song and this year I guess that song was Gnosis by @russiancircles.bsky.social The climax of gnosis is fucking epic.
