A+ example of motonormativity. "Rasmussen said the layout forces drivers leaving her angled parking area to not only back out, but watch for pedestrians on the sidewalk, people biking or riding scooters in both directions and traffic on 400 South." If that's too hard, don't drive. Problem solved!

Pinball machines used to be outlawed because they looked too much like gambling.

Women couldn't be outlawed in 13th-century England because they were never put in law. Instead, women accused of crimes were ordered to be waived if they failed to appear at trial. The consequence of waivery was the same as outlawry's: execution (often immediately and without trial). 🧵1/4
A woman in blue at the top of a castle is striking a man in red on the head with her sword. He seems to fall from the ladder he was climbing as is it enters his skull. The woman has a look on her face that says "Don't mess with me."

Filing reports from the "GoPDX" PAC show the direct link between the business-led United for Portland PAC and a trio of new independent expenditures (GoPDX, Ditch Mitch & fix multco). These are the PACs behind a grip of billboards bashing Councilor Green / supporting Commissioner Brim-Edwards.

The attorney who got Bob Kraft's solicitation of prostitution charges dismissed is Jack Goldberger, who negotiated Jeffrey Epstein's controversial non-prosecution agreement for child sex crimes. Goldberger got involved in Kraft's case after Epstein referred him.

I'm convinced the reason Americans hate taxes so much is that we see virtually no tangible benefits from them. We still have to pay child care, education, healthcare etc all out of pocket. Our roads are crumbling, there is trash everywhere, people go unhoused, we lack decent public transit etc etc

I haven’t been able to ride my bike for 3 weeks while recovering from surgery and it’s crazy to see just how much cycling improved my mental health. I don’t sleep as well, I’m less attentive at work, and I’m just generally more grumpy. Hopefully next week that changes

A report assessing barriers that stand in the way of people accessing Oregon’s parks - which was buried by the department - contained this harrowing anecdote. Read our @thewesternedge.bsky.social investigation and subscribe to see more reporting like this: www.thewesternedge.media/p/dei-at-ore...
One LGBTQ group told him a harrowing story: A lesbian couple had been harassed in a state park by another camper, and then a park ranger said they’d received a complaint about a rainbow sticker. “I asked park staff why it wasn’t okay for me to have a rainbow flag,” the person said, “but someone else, the man across the road, could have a Confederate flag flying on the back of his truck. The park staff said, ‘No one complained about the Confederate flag.’ Then told me I had to turn my car around.’

Urbanist Philomena Cunk. Some people think a "flex post" is when you go on the internet to show off your new haircut or a fancy dinner, but in urbanism, it’s just a row of wobbly plastic sticks that drivers use as a sort of high-stakes bowling minigame on their way to the shops.
