The Mercury provides news and fun every single day—but your help is essential. If you believe Portland benefits from smart, local journalism and arts coverage, please consider making a small monthly contribution, because without you, there is no us. Thanks for your support! Good morning, Portland! I hope your Wednesday mornings (plural because I recognize your individuality) are going swimmingly. Speaking of swimming, you might get a little wet today if you spend time outside....

USA promised to defend Afghans if they helped us against Taliban—then Trump backed out.

USA Promised to help Kurdish allies in Syria—then Trump backed out.

USA promised to defend Ukraine if it gave up its nukes—now Trump is backing out.

Trump has further turned the world against us. We are not safer.

Hi everyone, here's a quick beginning-of-the-month update on the current financial status of pdx.social. Thank you so much to all of you for joining, donating, and hanging out on our little neighborhood server! 🌲
I encourage you to read the entire thing, but my favourite fact in my piece about Bluesky at The Torment Nexus is that CEO Jay Graber’s given name is “Lantian,” which means “blue sky” in Mandarin https://torment-nexus.mathewingram.com/is-bluesky-the-new-twitter-and-if-so-is-that-a-good-thing/
Is BlueSky the new Twitter, and if so is that a good thing?

After deciding to write about Bluesky and its recent meteoric growth, I wrote down the headline above, and then I went to look at what I had written in the past about Bluesky while I was at the Columbia Journalism Review (where I was the chief digital writer until recently)
