Playing pinball in inner eastside Portland. PSU kids in the front room doing gender, 30sonethings on the patio trading tech pitches. Portland!

Also, it’s been years since I heard a gay lisp, but is there a name for that “boy elf” kinda voice I only ever hear from lesbians?

All y'all “we just want Bill Clinton again” got your bluff called

so turns out it’s a DJ night and the cute gimmick is playing 80s girl pop as slow sad gay; the vocals of Girls Just Want To Have Fun are promising but the rest needs remixing

from the Cahuenga Corridor on, I trust lesbian DJs. vibed lesbian aesthetics my whole life, which is a mixed bag

it’s just two-dimensional chess, played for position

like the twelvesomething thousandth day no one’s even tried to kill me so i have to take my life’s validity on assumption

if I have tedious dreams and I really believe in American magic I should put up a dreamcatcher

trick question, there’s no 20th month.

“original art do not steal”

I think its meaning will be defined in retrospect by what follows. I think a return to Clinton-style “send a message” gunboat diplomacy wouldn’t be the worst.

I think it might be a fighting retreat, that we’ll accept Assad in power but that doesn’t mean we’re accepting Syria as inviolable Russian sphere of influence. Their anti-air denies the US control of the air (and thus ground - America hasn’t fought without air superiority since early Korea) but stopping the Tomahawks would require naval superiority in the Eastern Mediterranean, which would be trivial to rally NATO against.

If anything I’d think the Russians have more chance to apply counterpressure in the Baltics, where NATO couldn’t defend on the ground as is but preemptively stationing an army would be a drain and a provocation.

this roughed-up windstorm salvage is the first bouquet of the year

I love how this Sherriff’s department announcement has completely aped the aesthetic of mid ‘00s Al-Qaeda communiqués

In fairness the aesthetic’s not terribly far off from the IRA or UVF in the Troubles, or anyone in post-Yugoslavia; “hard men on a budget”
