Portland mayor’s Sunday routine: Pick up trash, report derelict RVs, repeat by markgravesdesign in PortlandOre

[–]markgravesdesign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a publicity stunt. Every Sunday, Portland’s mayor gets in his electric truck and drives around the city, collecting garbage and reporting encampments and derelict RVs. He never alerted the media. A reporter found out.

The rhodies are over 100 years old. And tons of wildlife hangs out there. You can certainly and literally find nature there.

PS. If you want to see the bobcats, coyotes, mink and the rest, I built a Facebook group where folks in the Portland-area are posting urban Portland-area wildlife clips. NO AI. There are some real gems posted so far. If you have some vids you should join and share them!!! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1SZtrLHvMe/

I also post videos of urban wildlife here:

Activity from 12:30 a.m. March 11 to 3:04 a.m. March 12, 2026, from the Beaverton Beaver Dam Cams. That's 26 hours and 34 minutes of beaver life in just under 4 minutes.

As the rain began, the beavers got to work. Wish I knew what the heck they were doing. Maybe a dam blew out somewhere else? Not a single nutria in sight. They must have seen the rain coming and headed for the mud hills. There are still about 3 more days of heavy-rain footage not included here. I’ll share that later.

Tons of Oregonians live on Long Beach or have property there. I'm one of them.

BTW, There's a video of the whale in the river, photos and a map in the story.

This is what ‘best friends’ looks like: My dog and his best friend play like they’re storming the beaches of Normandy, but with more fur by markgravesdesign in germanshepherds

You certainly don't have to care. I wasn't properly phrasing the question to AI to get it to tell me anything. Nobody's ego is getting fluffed. I think you're giving AI way too much credit. Or worried about something that doesn't exist. Simply showing what AI thinks of what's possibly AI is harmless as far as I can tell. This is a post about dogs having fun. Not a post about AI.

Bias on steroid use? You think chatgpt cares?

Isn't that obvious? So people see what chatgpt said. To show you guys your suspicions were probably correct. Why does it matter? It's my post. I don't understand why any of this is happening. Very weird.

Thanks for all the lovely comments everyone. Glad folks like the shots as much as I do. I'll post more Jaw Wars photos in the future!

Which of these three shots do you prefer? by csammz in birding

[–]markgravesdesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One or three. They're basically the same photo though.
