Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I'm hoping to change that!

Unlike "other" Portland communities you may have seen "elsewhere", I believe in a "warts and all" approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that's all welcome as well. Let's collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there's only one real way to get in trouble here:

Don't attack other users.

It's OK to go after Teargas Ted, it's OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It's NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they're wrong, just don't start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.

OregonLive is known for gating links after the fact, so here's the important bit for folks living under the Sinclair or Nexstar umbrellas:

"If you live in a broadcast region run by the Sinclair or Nexstar media companies, you can only watch the full Tuesday episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Hulu (free trial) streaming the day after it airs, or you can watch Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue and more clips from the show on YouTube shortly after it airs (this should be some time after 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday)."

media is becoming firewalled

if the Gutenberg press would not have been invented the masses would have had more difficulty with consuming media

if people are not exposed to various exchanges of information, ideas, culture, etcetera less and all those things also become paywalled and hard to access then the human spirit will die

media has also been disappeared like people too not just news but other forms like the kind that make a culture in the hopes of gentrifying the landscape to make the herd easier to cull

after that will be easier to cattle the people

It already is, which is why we're where we are today. There's a reason gaming is such big business - people looking both to escape reality, and for ways to "win."
