Nothing like getting cut off, close passed, dodging a van driving head on at me in the protected double bike lane all in the same 15 minutes and then coming on here to see people complaining about the audacity of… e-scooters?

This sucks. The noise pollution is going to be awful. I hope the city does something, but also with how awful amazon is it’s time you stop using them. Yes, you, person reading this. Specifically you. Stop.

Theres a squirrel that lives in the tree and yells at me when I go outside. Sometimes he climbs a fence post and shakes his tail at me while he yells. He mooned me. I know cause he looked back to make sure I saw it. I’m pretty sure he ripped all the heads off my new flowers. I named him Jorby.

Got my motorcycle back up and running. Feels so good. Between it and the bicycles I guess I really just love the feel of open air on 2 wheels.

I’m all 3 and even in a car the worst part of driving is other cars. The difference between a nice drive and a slog is literally how many cars. Driver mains should logically be the biggest advocates for bike and transit infrastructure, if only to get more people out of their way. And yet.

Feel like it’s the right day to recommend this book. I am a slow reader and this is the first book i’ve finished in a while. It’s now one of my favorites.

Great driving tip a lot of people don’t know: If you are making a turn, you can turn the wheel AND use the accelerator at the same time. The car is designed for it actually.

I read reviews that Cyberpunk ‘77 has no “good” ending, but I was pretty satisfied with my choices and outcomes in both the main game and the DLC. What it doesn’t have is a fairy tale ending and I think that’s ok.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

We're exploring curbside charging for micromobility vehicles and want to learn where and how Portlanders might use this infrastructure. These charging stations could be incorporated into “mobility hubs,” bringing together transportation options & other amenities in convenient, accessible locations.

Possibly the best frog ive ever drawn
Line drawing in a notebook. It is a frog sitting on a river bank wearing a wizard hat. It is frowning hugely and there is a cone of magic radiating from it. I feel like frogs would be good at casting big magic but never really know what they are casting or why.

My favorite intersection mural in portland
Large circular shaped painting on the street in the middle of a 4-way intersection. It shows a bunch of simple cat shapes swirled together. There’s a black cat, brown cat, blue cat, red cat, white cat, and an orange cat with stripes and a rainbow coming out of its head.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Excited for this set. Oceans and riverways are some of my favorite card art, maybe because in real life they do seem to hold so much mystery and magic.
Preview banner for Magic the Gathering.  A red merfolk swims across the foreground; behind it light streams down through murky blue water revealing an underwater city nestled within a forest of coral and kelp. Bold gold and white text across the banner says “Nauctis: The Sunken Realm”.

AAAAAA!!! MY BONES!!!
Magic card with art depicting a green squirrel silhouette in the bottom right with yellow lines radiating out from it, flanked by dark forest trees. Moving left in the image are incrementally larger silhouettes of the squirrel to show that it is rapidly growing, culminating in a very large fully colored squirrel with oranges and browns. The large squirrel looks like it’s screaming, maybe because it grew too big too fast. The card text says:

Giant Growth

Instant
Target creature gets +3/+3 until end of turn.

Portland should have a couple dedicated bike expressways. Closed to cars, and all stopsigns along it face cross-traffic. Even just one, running east/west, and maybe one north/south would be cool. This sharrow and afterthought bike lane stuff we got going on is not enough for cross town trips.
