In order to do this in Seattle, you'd also have to block in a bunch of other employees, including Comcast employees.

So it's OK to protest against human rights violations, as long as you don't inconvenience anyone?

I think he’s saying Comcast is reason enough.

Oregon state employees unable to email the public after computer 'hijacked' by phishing email posted:

Oregon's state technology workers are scrambling to fix a problem that is preventing thousands of government employees from corresponding with members of the public via email.

Several private email providers have blacklisted the state email domain Oregon.gov after a state employee apparently clicked on a phishing email earlier this month that allowed a hacker to access the state's computer system.

"The malicious link hijacked the state-owned PC and generated over eight million spam emails from an Oregon.gov email address," state officials wrote in an email explaining the situation to employees on Friday.

In fairness, the Portland occupation started as a march/protest at the facility on Sunday and things just kinda spiraled, so this could too! I agree that everyone stopping by to wag their finger then going about their day isn’t great, but everything needs a starting point.

This is so bogus. A vigil involves getting off your rear end and actually going somewhere and interacting with your community, so while it certainly may be low effort, it's infinitely more effort than "thoughts and prayers". Moreover, probably 100% of the people attending are strongly in favor of policy and social change to end not only the current horrific situation but reform US immigration to be more human in general. "Thoughts and prayers" is ridiculed because it's offered up by people blocking numerous straightforward actions we could take to reduce gun violence.

That sounds really loving gross. Think about all the shutter your hands touch out in public amd then you grab your keys and get in your car and go home. Do you put your keys in your mouth? I'd rather not have a straw.

It goes in a container of some sort.

e: here, and either the price has gone down or I misremember. Still, $20 for a loving straw, lol.

It would be cheaper to reduce trash by using a fountain pen over this garbage.

I hope that case has a numbered dial so you can keep track of how many times you've had to fish your collapsable straw out of the trash after accidentally throwing it away
