I was present at several of the protests in Portland that supposedly burnt down the city.
In all cases they were pretty mild until the police escalated. Like people were rightfully pissed but they were largely marches and chants until driven into a corner by riot cops who were all too ready to blanket downtown in tear gas and rubber bullets
There were elements that would go to the justice center and shake the fence and scream at the cops but nothing that justified the national guard showing up. Looting and such always occurred in the chaos ensuing after an extreme attempt to clamp down on peaceful protest.
waow

I mean Foundation is for people who have no thoughts about women so maybe a slight improvement.
(Half joking?)
That’s fair. It’s well known in America as it’s a big event for a big American holiday that’s primarily watched by older, less online people and bored kids at a family members house which is why I bought it up. Local news was talking about the whole phenomenon because if it. But out of that American context you’re right that it wouldn’t be as meaningful.
It’s been around 15 years and Astley did it as part of the Macy Day parade. It’s the furthest thing from obscure.
It’s probably Windows IOT which is commonly used for signage and displays
This is kind of a tangent but I’ve always had mixed feelings about his essay about not being gay in a time where there were a ton of rumors around the topic, which relates I think to his brand of masculinity.
Essentially his point was that if he was gay he would be the most out and loud person about it so that others could feel safe too do the same, and it always stuck me as an easy thing to say.
But now that I’m out I find it kinda inspiring since I DO get to be that out and loud queer and I would lie if I said his words didn’t inspire that.
So. Well played I guess Henry.
