America's #1 Popeyes Enjoyer

Listening to Titanic Rising for the first time in a while, what a lush, beautiful album. Can't wait for whenever Natalie Mering finishes her next album

Chaimbeul put on one of the most mesmerizing concerts I've attended in years, this is well worth your time even if you don't care about Scottish piping

People keep sharing Matt Yglesias clips that I’m fairly sure are Colin Robinson from What We Do in the Shadows

Imo, anyone richer than the poorest UN Member state should count as a foreign state actor for the purposes of investigating them for treason, espionage, or sedition Which I think puts that cut off at ~$65 million, Tuvalu’s GDP. If it’s treason to do it for Tuvalu, it’s treason to do it for yourself

Caiya Hanks does it herself!

This is insane. The moderates are funded by republicans. whosbuyingpdx.com

every single week i am nothing short of amazed by what the nfl red zone channel is able to pull off. logistically speaking it's a brilliant feat of engineering. 22 guys on the field, probably two or three costume changes per minute. astounding

According to donor data on Orestar, Kellie Torres’ donors overlap most with Rene Gonzalez and Dan Ryan. She’s running as a progressive in all her mailers. Just something to consider!

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

I'm sick of all the various moderate Republicans who run as Dems in Portland using corporate money and lies, but Brim-Edwards is a particularly ugly example and I'm glad it seems like people are starting to notice

The United for Portland PAC is basically a list of people The @oregonian.com asks to complain about topics in their newspaper.

Dan Ryan continues to be the absolute worst

Shame on @councilordanryan.bsky.social for voting no on this basic amendment to improve safety planning, especially for people who live in North Portland.

There's a bitter irony in the fact that the Reagan revolution's attack on school funding leading to not nearly enough people hating him

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest

I still don't understand why Kotek ran for reelection. She didn't accomplish anything, isn't popular, and isn't a good campaigner. I hope the blue wave and Drazen's awful politics are enough but it's a risky, awful bet

Michèle Mouton was such a badass

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

Private schools are a tool for the wealthy to not have to care about public education, the same way that funding schools via property taxes is a way for wealthy neighborhoods to not have to care about school quality on poorer neighborhoods.

@trimet.org is building a “transit champion” mailing list for the legislative session next year. would encourage everyone who follows me to sign up: trimet.org/champions

We’ve lived through the nearly complete systematic unwinding of the postwar public university, which for all its faults, was premised on the idea that not only aristocrats could be intellectuals, & that having non-aristocratic intellectuals was better for knowledge & therefore better for everyone

The woodwork has had it out for Sophia Wilson this season

eliminating I-5 for a week seems to have caused remarkably minimal disruption to Portland's regional traffic flows. so why again do ODOT, Governor Kotek and the Oregon Legislature think we should spend three billion dollars (!) to literally double the width of lanes on I-5 through North Portland?

I know the money is good and ownership has made it clear they don't care, but it is still a huge bummer that the Thorns' jersey sponsor is the fascist surveillance doorbell. Hard to imagine a pick more out of step with the fanbase short of Palantir or Flock

City Observatory continues to keep up with the "carmageddon" beat - turns out, shutting down I-5 doesn't seem to be having hardly *any* impact on traffic congestion across the region. Why again does the Oregon Legislature want to spend over $3 billion to double the width of the RQ freeway? #orleg

Most parties in Hyrule are socialist and awkward
