funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026portland’s sister city in japan is sapporo, the capital of hokkaido prefecture—the region where ghost of yotei is based! 010
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 15/08/2026playing ghost of yotei lately and felt very inspired. (the intention is cultural appreciation, not cultural appropriation 🙏) 010
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 12/08/2026according to blazers president dewayne hankins, portland’s “stagnant business climate, high income taxes, and divisive political environment” makes it hard to recruit players. i get income taxes being a factor but imagine a player not signing due to “business climate” and “political environment” 🤣 140
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026hah yeah. i just don’t know why i, a lifelong blazers fan, wanted the antonio mcdyess figure in particular as a 12 year old. and then kept it sealed for 30 years 😂 starting lineup did have the totally realistic non-bendable knees right for mcdyess, though! 110
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026the cynicism is the least surprising thing about the whole debacle! it’s the paranoia over a boilerplate request from the city that makes them look weird. i would expect “don’t say anything in writing” over “i am questioning EVERYTHING” from an experienced lawyer. crashing out over a simple request? 110
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026they just don’t make ‘em like they used to. also i have no idea why i own a 1997 antonio mcdyess action figure. 120
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026kolde had an obligation from the allen estate to accept the highest bid. the difference is reportedly about $250m. although there was some shady business where the cherngs were part of the bhathal’s investment group before switching to dundon’s group late. a lawsuit was settled 030
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026lol i can’t even expense an uber to the airport without a paper trail. i just can’t wrap my head around a team of lawyers being so tripped up over city council wanting correspondence over $600m in public funding to be in writing. and yeah, forwarding the whole internal thread anyway. what a mess 😂 120
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026it’s clear why they didn’t want anything in writing (to avoid a public information request) but the paranoia about the city “setting a trap” and the preoccupation with optics is a weird look imo. what would they say in writing that would be any worse optics than what they said publicly last week? 120
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026how is this standard business practice causing a legal counsel to crash out?! i get not wanting to do it, for obvious reasons, but to be confused and paranoid about it? that’s why this is so shocking. these were internal emails, not some intentionally obtuse public statement! 120
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026the fixation on the “first-class standard” provision in the bridge lease agreement is easily explained, imo, when you consider the hypocrisy in demanding $600m for a necessary renovation. if you maintained it to a “first-class standard” in the first place, why do you need half a billion to fix it? 010
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026haha exactly! and it’s insane to me that a fucking LAWYER is acting surprised that a negotiating party on the other side of the table wants answers in writing 010
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026why the obsession over public optics? are you concerned about losing some kind of leverage? if so, what leverage is there to be lost if public opinion sways against you? just negotiate in good faith without being weirdos. you’re getting gift-wrapped a record-setting amount of public funding! 040
funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 05/08/2026someone help me understand how a lawyer, of all people, is earnestly confused and paranoid about why the politicians they are negotiating with over $600m in public funding would prefer to have answers to their questions in writing. seems like a fairly boilerplate request. why be so weird about it?? 450

funky @funkybuttluvin.bsky.social · 30/07/2026why the fuck would the city agree to amend the existing lease agreement with rip city management before starting negotiations on a new lease agreement? that's literally what the negotiation is for--a new lease agreement where the org. can negotiate for its preferred terms! transparently bad faith. 0112
