OryCon 45 Oct. 17-19, 2025 at the Doubletree Hotel near Lloyd Center in NE #Portland will be the last of its name & format. It's time, actually past time, for new folks with new ideas to run something else.

If you once attended or never came to an OryCon but want to be involved in the last one or a future endeavor in metro #Portland this is your chance.

We're also looking for photos from past OryCons to share & those can be sent to memories@orycon.org. #pdx #sfconventions

The Anti-AI Protests Have Arrived in Portland, and This is Only the Beginning

By @jaredwhite | @theinternet

According to reports from pro-#AI attendees at a business meetup in #Portland, #Oregon, anti-AI protesters showed up outside, throwing eggs and paint at cars and distributing pamphlets with the following message:

“BUTLERIAN JIHAD AGAINST AI

never ending destruction and death propels the machine of progress. AI rides on the front of this beast, annihilating humanity, leaving nothing in its wake but sterile boxes to lock us in and apps to keep us sedated. while the techies are inside sipping their cocktails the rest of us are faced with a choice: to accept our position at the bottom of the social order or find our people and bring the whole thing down. only we can decide to smash the screens that are brainwashing us into submission.

the time is now,

the day is here,

ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!”

Hey, Portland!

Does anyone want an Epiphone SG "Bully" guitar? All black, dual humbucker, with some wood carved out (then mostly filled in) under the bridge.

It turns out I just like guitars with more mass on them (helps me stabilize) and the SG is too thin for me to enjoy playing. I could trade it in but I'd rather just see if anyone wants it first, especially because I didn't pay a lot for it and so there's not even that much I'd be looking to get back. I'm happy to throw in a guitar strap that isn't my style. I replaced one of the pots on it (I did not do a great job and used the wrong size and I widened the hole a little... not my best work BUT it is all working!)

Boosts okay/appreciated! Can/will provide pics on demand. Holds a tune as far as I can tell.

Hi there!

It's Bandcamp Friday, which means any and all purchases you make there will go to the artists! Spotify can't fucking do that, huh?

Anyway I've got not one but two projects on Bandcamp that are worth your listen

One is my own soundtrack and ambient music found at https://incrediblealibi.bandcamp.com/ where my music can be groovy or spacey or just thematic music you wanna listen / meditate / vacuum / smoke an ounce to. My favorites are "Justice Served" and "Home in Body"

The other, believe it or not, is Emma Accelerator, that industrial/electronic band featuring me, and RubixCubix from TransPanic. Our EP "Collider" is out and it is excellent. I like "Blocklist". Rubix likes "Moment Mori". Listen here: https://emmaaccelerator.bandcamp.com/

I'd like to make more music and eventually, start touring again! Maybe even get a studio! Please enjoy the music and thank you for your ears and support! #BandcampFriday #Bandcamp #FairMusicFriday #Music #bands #ambient #soundtrack #Industrial #electronic #groove #Portland #portlandOregon #Inide #Independent #independentmusic #DIY #songwriter #SingerSongwriter #Collider
