Just found out that there are ten candidates who have filed to run in the Democratic primary for Oregon governor. Nine Democrats challenging the incumbent Democrat governor. That seems like a lot given there haven't been major scandals associated with Gov. Kotek.
That fucking guy's plan is working: not much talk about Epstein files or ICE lately.
I don’t know. It might help mentally challenged people access more books. Maybe. I don’t know. 🤷🏻♂️
I'll accept your word that this is a good thing. I remain, however, terrified by teenagers on e-bikes.
I learned that a former good friend passed away. I say 'former' because we had a falling out due to his political views. Now I'm sad as I recall the good times.

I'm sure you mean civilian nuclear 'fission.' But emission of radiation and radionuclides is just one small aspect of the energy discussion. Climate change is a far bigger concern.
True, but I'm mostly comparing this crowd to past crowds. I despair for Ukraine. Maybe partially because my job in the military was dedicated to opposing the Soviet Union and here we are again.
Would you support a new nuclear plant? In general, I mean. Obviously with any proposed plant, you' have to consider the specifics.
Sparse turnout at the Peace Corner protest Saturday, which was focused on Ukraine. Is it because we're weary of protesting, we're not that concerned about saving Ukrainian sovereignty or just that ICE hasn't murdered anyone in broad daylight recently (that we know of)?
Standing on a street corner again.
Slava Ukraini
I’ll be carrying my US flag Saturday at Peace Corner but will be paired with a Ukraine 🇺🇦 flag to remind folks of the 4-year anniversary of the brutal Russian invasion, something the US absolutely has the power to end.
I posted that I've been using eBay instead of Amazon. However, the last package came in an Amazon box. So I looked up what was happening. The eBay seller 'dropshipped' the item. Used my money to buy it from Amazon for cheaper than their eBay price. Violates eBay rules but eBay isn't enforcing.
I agree. While I've cancelled Amazon Prime, I maintain the account in case I need it. I also still use Amazon to search for items and read reviews.
Question: what online shopping site do you use to replace Amazon? I'm currently using eBay. I like to shop local but too often what I need (want) isn't readily available in Central Oregon.
Standing on a street corner again. Apparently it’s the anniversary of Oregon being admitted to the union, so I’m out here with my 33-star US flag. And a Ukraine flag.
Huge number of young folks protesting at Peace Corner today.
And Whole Foods. And Goodreads. And Ring. And Twitch. And Audible. And IMDb. And Zappos. Many others. Quit them all.
He must be someone's favorite if he keeps getting elected. But yes, 👏
I think they need some color correction.
Pretty good crowd last night. I didn't see any of the rumored flash mobs though.
I stopped Prime last year, don't order from Amazon, don't shop at Whole Foods and dropped Goodreads for StoryGraph.
Yeah, imagine having to respect everyone’s Constitutional rights. How could we possibly survive as a nation. I hate that guy.
People who claim to be neutral in the face of today’s reality, are not. They’re complicit. People who can’t see the difference between left and right in the face of today’s reality are either blind or ignorant.
On the street corner, once again.

Might it be influenced by whether the particular city or town has a good plaza to occupy?
Lot of younger folks, I noticed. Which is good. It’s their country to inherit.
Standing on a street corner, again. Probably be here tomorrow too. Fuck 🧊
