I haven't posted in a while, for the now proverbial "obvious reasons," so this will be my last post here for the foreseeable future. I'm at @barrycochran.bsky.social and elsewhere, check Linktree.

@BradenRussell_ Congrats!

I just asked ChatGPT a question and the response began "As my knowledge cut off in September 2021..." and I think I know humans who could start responses with a variant of that. When did your knowledge cut off?

Sometimes life just has its way of reminding you that there was no way "Hamlet" was *ever* going to end in any way other than everyone dead on stage.

Blood may be thicker than water, but community is thicker than blood.

Wow, they got nothing in #Tigard. If it snows tonight, it should stay west of the river this time. Seems only fair. #pdxsnow #pdxtst

She didn't win the votes to be mayor in 2016 or 2020 but the legacy of those campaigns may be even greater: a new generation of progressive leaders in this city, just as the charter changes to make room for their voices. (2/2)

@atrupar Fox now being trolled by it's only true love - Capitalism

I'm very worried about global warming. I'm specifically concerned about this coming Thursday.

I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened

@stepville How many among us showed this tweet to their partner? (raises hand)

@csteinbe07 @shaindelr These kids were Millennials. Haven't had to defend a Gen Z kid from teacher bullying yet, but I no longer teach in Texas. It probably does still happen, though, and not just in Texas.

@csteinbe07 @shaindelr It didn't end in Texas with Gen X, either. As a teacher there, I had to confront teachers who were bullying kids. One example was a coach who bullied queer kids I also taught. Admin unhelpful on that one.
