More than anything, I wish my mom had mentally prepared to retire. I wish I knew I needed to have Those Conversations. They take so much knowledge with them, and it's too late by the time you know you need it. Enough about me. Good on @wweek.com for making us more aware of how to age in Portland.

why did I think Walker, Texas Ranger was from the 80s? Chuck Norris jokes would be like all of us piling onto an actor from 2–4 years ago (Gal Gadot jokes?).

OK Omens is closing in a few weeks, which means we only have a few weeks to meaningfully revisit one of my most controversial takes of 2025: www.wweek.com/food/2025/12...

Most Divisive Restaurant of 2025: OK Omens
Some of us had our best meals of 2025 at OK Omens. Some of us would beg to differ.

where the hell are the olds congregating that they're missing these AI conversations bc why did two legacy bands I saw both have missing fingers-grade AI visuals, like what's wrong with a photo slide at this point?

Portland's second Bar Rescue episode is the best known (RIP The Penis Room). The first, while more successful, gets less ink. I visited Over Easy Bar and Breakfast, fka Six Point Inn, with @wweek.com to look back on a decade-plus since its TV appearance: www.wweek.com/drink/2026/0...

The former Six Point Inn is a neighborhood watering hole, not a TV diner.

same! my job hunt and hillin journey have shown me how embedded it is outside the art world. sooo many sectors use it (healthcare, "business," obviously tech). I'm always horrified when people ask me if I use it but I at least see the place that question comes from.

men in vests was such a 2010s look and is so rarely discussed. I saw a recent documentary with c. 2011 footage and of course there were guys dressed up for their Olive Garden clopening shifts. what was that all about?

This @streetroots.bsky.social article doesn't claim to know what the song of the summer is (it's Madonna, Slayyter or Hilary Duff in this household) but it makes a good case for how they come together: www.streetroots.org/opinion/2026...
streetroots.org
What makes a song of the summer? Has society progressed past the need for one?
I think the song of summer has fractured from the cultural to the individual. My song may not be yours and I may not even have heard of yours.
