Ya its semantics but when Mayor Wilson says we’ll have "no major league sports teams" if the Blazers leave it pissed me offfff I know that term traditionally encompasses the "Big 4" but if we're trying to be the "epicenter of women's sports" lets not use an outdated term that demeans women's sports

OPB Investigation: Tech companies use train car-sized diesel generators to keep data centers alive during power outages. That could bring massive pollution in a major outage — though tech companies are skeptical that could happen.

A meme depicting squidward staring out his window watching spongebob and patrick play outside. This is relevant to the current situation in the oregon legislature, which failed to pass HB 2025

Text over squidward's head reads: 
Oregon Democrats’ major transportation bill is dead
According to four sources within the Legislature, Democrats acknowledged Friday morning they do not have the votes to pass House Bill 2025. The sweeping bill would have hiked an array of taxes and fees in order to generate billions for much-needed road projects.
