Just saw the film Naza at Cinema 21 in Portland. The detail the Israeli intelligence officers bring to the interviews is astounding. The level of surveillance Gazans live under is astonishing in its indignity. The film stands in complete contrast to any Israeli military claim of accidental killings.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

7 minutes of delay a day is a half hour a week. A half hour of family, sports on TV, laundry time or just zoning out. So, yeah, that’s significant

Library economics: e-books and streaming upend operations
Digital checkouts now outnumber physical materials by well over 2 to 1 at the Multnomah County Library.

Walking from Arizona Square to the BOB last night nearly killed my daughter. The glow of sweat on every face on the Jumbotron was really incredible. Has the AC always been that bad there?

The exodus of trans people from red state America to Portland is one of the incredibly undertold stories of this decade

Nick Christensen @nickcpdx.bsky.social · 03/08/2026
I’m curious how many right turns on red occur every year in Portland, and how many result in an injury. I’m guessing the ratio is somewhere around 500,000:1.

Just gonna shift budget gatekeeping from 12 elected city councilors and the bureaucrats who advise them, to unelected special interests who have the time and inclination to spend countless hours running PB processes

Great, an extra 300 homes in permitting Meanwhile www.oregonlive.com/business/202...

Oregon business closures outnumber openings — and the gap is growing
There were 6,000 more closures than new establishments in the first nine months of 2025, a break from historical trends.

IMHO if we want new homes to be built we need underwriters to think Portland is a safe place to lend to developers. And that means we need more jobs

Nick Christensen @nickcpdx.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
I mean, permit new things all day long, but our population is flatlined, transit ridership is down 26% from 2006, it’s not feeling like a time for optimism for “the market is eager to invest in Portland and they’re just asking for us to get rid of a stairwell”
