Silly me for thinking the Raiders move to Vegas would help people learn how to pronounce Nevada.

It says not a Navy ship but a maritime vessel. It also says they were operating as part of a battalion landing team. This is the Trump administration. If the Iranians were firing missiles at civilian ships they'd be using it as provocation for more attacks. Marine landing vessels though...

Grocery store "security guard" today told my 8 y/o that they have a bad father because I wouldn't play the show my receipt on the way out game. Kid called him an idiot. I called him some other things. He did nothing. There was nothing he could do. Authoritarianism needs you to comply, don't.

I think the thing that bothers me most about Tom Brady is that his buddy Robert Kraft, like Donald Trump, is in the #epsteinfiles

Watching YouTube TV and I just saw what amounted to a Trump campaign ad that said "paid for by the US Government". I'm more pissed and disgusted with this country than I was three minutes ago.

A coworker who lived in Happy Valley (PDX suburb) took a night off that summer because he heard there was going to be a BLM march down there, and he needed to protect his house from rioters. Video on Twitter of the march was all soccer moms and teenage girls. No riots.

I get incredibly frustrated whenever we talk about healthcare in my union meetings. The amount of money that's going to our mediocre plan that, under Medicare for All would be going on our paychecks or to our pension outstrips the tax bump by a mile.

Downloaded The Silmarillion to listen to while mowing the lawn. An hour later I understand why no one has ever recommended it to me. Also I probably should've mowed the lawn this morning when it was cooler.

Unfortunately there are more than a few colleges that will not only accept them but consider them well educated. And there are private employers who consider degrees from those colleges top tier. This isn't a future problem; it's been a problem.

I get it. I have childhood memories of Blazer games as well, and PDX sports fandom is very impressive. But this owner(ship group) isn't here to benefit the community. BTW I was unimpressed (still am) the first time I saw Drexler Drive. That man deserves a longer, more important road named after him!

Not a Blazers fan or hater. I am a PDX taxpayer, and a union member who would likely earn parts of paychecks from this remodel. Fuck this payday loan shark bitch. He's already shown he's not interested in being a member of the community. No public money for the Moda! Def no PCEF money for it!

🇸🇩 Sudan advocates campaigning against the NBA’s partnership with the UAE have pointed to photos of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani sporting both an Emirates-sponsored Arsenal jersey and a Knicks jersey featuring the team’s “Experience Abu Dhabi” sponsorship as examples of how sportswashing works.

Refugees International President Jeremy Konyndyk said people often wear sports merchandise without thinking about what the sponsor on the front represents. He said the Blood on the Ball campaign, launched by The Sentry and partner organizations, seeks to raise awareness of how the UAE is using sports sponsorships to whitewash its image while backing the Rapid Support Forces, which have carried out genocide, widespread rape, and other mass atrocities in Sudan. Konyndyk added that he believed Mamdani would likely be sympathetic to those concerns.

The discussion came during a briefing urging the NBA to reconsider its relationship with the UAE over its support for the RSF. Mamdani, who has spoken out against the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide in Gaza, has said his positions on international affairs are guided by a “belief in the universality of international law” and a commitment to making his “values and commitments clear.”
