Regardless of the outcome of the election (vote for Angelita!) it’s vital that we continue to attack the performance of respectability in the interest of genuine respect and care

Failson at the controls? That type of plane (Quest Kodiak) is used mostly by commercial operators (10 pax capacity), so I'm thinking it's a charter operator? But some are privately owned by rich people.

I'm speculating, but I think their plan was to get airborne sooner and be able to easily climb over the Hawthorne. If so, they should have aborted instead. I've only seen planes take off and land south of the Ross Island bridge.

yeah idk what the current rules are for the Willamette, but I've seen planes take off and land a few times, generally south of the Ross Island. I was in a boat once and saw a plane take off to the south, starting its run N of the RI and taking off S of it. This was pre Tillicum Crossing.

This is one of those where the pilot fucked up, I assume the plan was to climb over the Hawthorne bridge, but then had the presence of mind to drop the nose and fly under the bridge, instead of stalling the plane. The pilot can hope the FAA takes this into account (they're boned).

Yeah that was a fuckup. But I have seen planes take off and land in that stretch of river, generally south of downtown.

It’s wild that no other media outlet besides the Mercury is covering the Dan Ryan text saga…like, these lobbyists were calling councilors of color racial epithets. They called me a burrito. Meanwhile there were ten million stories about daddy gate, but crickets on this? Disparity in standards

"By Thursday, Ryan’s story changed. He filed an additional declaration October 8 stating that his spouse informed him that his previous personal phone had not been traded in, and is still in his possession." I'm guessing this happened right after he retained private counsel.

As someone who's been through this process with a loved one, I can confirm. Especially for a non-physical disability. We were ultimately successful, I think possibly due to a random angel in the system smiling upon us. But it took easily a couple of years.

Apparently somebody set my local Papa Murphy's on fire recently, it's all closed and boarded up, but also Papa Murphy's is closing a bunch of locations permanently, so 🤷‍♀️ I really hope it reopens, it's been my goto long-day-at-work-don't-wanna-cook option for years.

I mean, if you personally want to play 3D chess, have at it, but at a certain point it's just feeding the "it's too complicated" narrative. I get the exercise, but we're talking about some small bit of highly unpredictable vote optimization in an outlier scenario.

it is extremely ironic that, even for the guys deputized as a roving secret police to kill other Americans basically at their leisure, the highest form of existence they can conceive of and project is still basically “lifestyle influencer”. Everyone wants to be a fucking Content Creator

All this Portland strategic voting discourse is getting annoying. It seems highly unlikely that I'll experience an undesired outcome because I didn't rank candidate Fuckface McBootlicker at all, instead of ranking them 6th behind Councilor Feckless Coward.

As a candidate you have to sit with other candidates on approximately 10,000 panels so when they just switch their answer the very next day for a new audience it enrages me to no end lol Like please stop lying to these nice people who are trying to figure out who to vote for you’re being a ghoul

About to testify in favor of this and am going to lift up @brian-goldstone.bsky.social's amazing book There is No Place for Us, which details how corporate behaviors directly lead to people being pushed into homelessness, where they are still used as instruments of profit for shareholders.
