Need a bit of light news for your day? Meet this Oregon teenager who strapped 12 boats on top of each other and floated down the North Santiam River. Why? To set and unofficial "boat stacking" record, of course. And for “tomfoolery and shenanigans.” A fun one: tinyurl.com/2v7hmedj

Another day, another massive trove of disturbing crap circulating under Meta's watch. This time it's click farms pumping out AI-reels of emaciated children

Our upcoming comic book is currently front-page news on @sfgate.com ! Thanks to Sam Hill for covering the story of federal workers and how/why they left their jobs last year. And HUGE thanks to Kevin Heatley and the 25 other former feds who shared their stories in our book.

There’s a historic building at Crater Lake NP that’s been damaged for over 18 months and now NPS is looking for funding from nonprofit partners for a fix. My latest for @sfgate.com:

Did you know that one of the first major UFO sightings in the U.S. was over Mount Rainier National Park? A single report launched a countrywide fascination with "flying saucers." My latest for @sfgate.com: www.sfgate.com/national-par...

An ex-national park ranger is fighting back against censorship.

NEW: A PR firm used at least 15 fake personas — equipped with fake emails, fake websites, and in some cases, fake AI-generated faces — to send me dozens of pitch emails about its (very real) clients. Those clients told me they had no idea this was happening. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I 100% have not changed a single goddamn thing about how I write here in the age of "AI." I write how I write. If the "AI" writes anything like how I write, it's because it stole from me. I'm gonna use any punctuation I like, and if it looks "AI"ish to you, you can go fuck yourself.

NEW: A large trove of Claude-generated documents have been exposed to the web and indexed by Google. We reviewed what appear to be real medical records, the full names and phone numbers of school-aged children, and company documents marked for internal use only. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Sometimes I get the Portland Pickles rally song stuck in my head. Pickles, pickles, pickles. Pickles, pickles, pickles. Piiickles, pickles, pickles. Piiickles, pickles, pickles.

Mount Rainier under a sky full of stars I was hoping for a clear night, but a few clouds drifted through and made everything feel even more immense. Stars above, Rainier below… the whole night felt vast and peaceful in a way that’s hard to put into words. #MountRainier #PNWPhotography

Before Rialto Beach was part of Olympic National Park, it was the home of a mystic called Alexander, the Man Who Knows. He was known as a celebrity spiritualist ... and a swindler, a serial husband, a tax cheat and a jail escapee. My latest for @sfgate.com: www.sfgate.com/national-par...
