PS1 was my first console. My Dad had an Atari and a NES at his house I played a bit, but I only went there once a month or so. I mostly gamed on the commodore or friends consoles. I bought a Playstation as a teen though, and had it in my room. I loved Tony Hawk, Road Rash 3D, and FFVII (of course).
Eventually, I modded it and played all the games. I don't know what happened to it though.

No matter how much the yuppies, city council, PBA, PPB, and dark money political funds (People For Portland) complain about it, the Oregon constitution says that unhoused people can't be swept without providing them adequate shelter. This amendment is something I really do respect Tina Kotek for implementing (so I have one nice thing to say about a Democrat).
Reading this should also be a stark reminder as to why capitalism (and things that embrace it) cannot be the path under which liberation happens. It requires the demolishing, commodification and consumption of people and their labor for corporate greed. (https://jacky.wtf/2022/5/pjl5)
First time in my life that I've seen a major American outlet translate an article into something I understand from growing up. https://www.nytimes.com/ht/2022/05/20/world/ayiti-lafrans-esklavaj-etazini.html. It even goes into how the US robbed Haiti. I'd recommend reading it. (https://jacky.wtf/2022/5/H40R)

I wish the Portland pride org had a spine. I think the trans march and the dyke march might, but the main Portland pride event is heavily resistant to barring police.
I documented a blue lives matter flag flying from the sanctioned police stall at the festival a few years ago, and a friend of mine got arrested at pride for knocking over the cops folding table.

Meanwhile, the mayor of SF showed that they are an ally to LGBTQ people only so far as she can make sure that the are invited, in uniform, to rainbow street parties. Otherwise that is apparently *checks notes* discrimination of police officers.

there's actually an Oregonian story today that almost makes me want to subscribe.

If you search for "organized retail crime/theft" you can find hundreds of new firms in this industry.
Things like this ... from Loss Prevention Magazine ... explain the new industry in their own words:

Has anyone else been following this weird new industry that is popping up? Security firms are being created to address the narrative of skyrocketing retail theft. They don't just review loss prevention in a store, but across companies and across the entire industry. The run stakeouts and surveil people in their lives to build cases, then work closely with law enforcement. There are rumors of lobbying for making some of these firms private contractors for the state.
This would actually work pretty easily.
