wall-e@ben wrong universe I know, but I'm hearing the Atreides march
CuriousMatter@ben I cannot imagine the bravery of the photojournalist that risked their life to capture this moment of human struggle and triumph. Bravo! I believe a Pulitzer is waiting!
Brother Soul@ben @DJUpNorth Look. lolol
Html_Entities (he/him)@ben @briankrebs That is one of the most Portland things I’ve seen in a long time

@ben ironically if this were Star Wars we'd all be in the Rebellion and the US government would be the empire, so that would actually be highly inaccurate unless that guy was a MAGA republican.. (which I am aware he isn't)
Lar Van Der Jagt@ben it was a dark time for the rebellion.

David O'BrienDarth Piper, surely?
Soozcat@iamdavidobrien @ben Locally, he is known as the Unipiper.
Bill Seitz@ben Seems like Portland may be the Perfect place to drive a fake civil-war letter-home.

@Walrus There is alt text!
@ben
Huge apologies! The app on my phone didn't show it at first but now it does.
Boosted now, because it's bloody brilliant anyway, but in context it's awesome!

CheapPontoonI was curious if AI would AI miss that detail. Yep:
“A person dressed in a Darth Vader costume, complete with a cape, rides a unicycle while playing bagpipes that emit flames. The scene is set on a bridge with a cityscape in the background during sunset.”
I🤖Retrobots@ben Imagine that guy to be the father of someone.

May Keable 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@ben it's worse than I thought it's like Mad Max
Tadonic the Flautulent@ben I was not quite as creative as the Unipiper: I rode my one wheel unmasked, playing fifes and pennywhistles without flames. Also no kilt.... Alas, those days are long gone.

Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@mk30 Those poor people.
Quinn Norton@mk30 @ben @FantasticalEconomics look if I want to provoke war in Portland it's not hard. Just get inside a decent sized crowd and loudly ask who has the best coffee in town.
Face Thumb@ben Believe it or not, this is actually the least interesting person in Portland.
Ivor@ben I glanced at this and thought it was Jesse Rae in a bigger helmet.
meejah@ben The "Thursday night ride" I got to attend when I was there for PyCon US was amazing (IIRC the UniPiper was there / helped lead it, but on a 36" one and sans flaming bag-pipes)
