I mean, didn’t we all cancel this shit when they tried to cancel Kimmel? Haven’t missed it at all.

Yuuuuup. I saw the ad. Don’t need to see it again. I bought a new pair just weeks ago, and not wearing them now. Donating to the NAACP instead.

On this day of remembrance, I appreciate the sober and compassionate words of a statesman, truly a global leader. Thank you Canada, the true north strong and free, for holding the line and showing respect. Our dumpster fire doesn’t deserve this kindness - but those we lost do. Thank you.

I mean - yes. And I live dangerously close to this wanton den of debauchery. Used to work there (at the now defunct Tech) but spent too much of what I made given their employee discount. Oh, and the philosophy guy has been there since 1993 and will talk your ear off about Wittgenstein.

Portland peeps - especially in and around the Pearl and NW - keep an eye out for this pup, ok? It’s a neighbor’s dog - want to get him home safely. #portland #pearldistrict

They could turn it into a skating rink and hand out free espresso and puppies and I would never know because I do not set foot in the store. You don’t get to say that marketing to me and to communities I care about is “divisive” and then complain that I don’t give you my money. Not how it works.

As it seems the 9th Circuit is going to allow the National Guardeners invade Portland, keep your eyes on what @wyden.senate.gov is releasing today. The Guard is a pretexutal sham and distraction from the real story. Give the Guard some donuts; give Wyden your full attention. #epsteinfiles

I regret that I had but one unsub to spend on @washingtonpost.com - used it when they declined to endorse MVP Harris. I did recently receive a survey asking what it would take to get me back. I filled that out. But no - it’s not enough. @karenattiah.bsky.social deserves far more.

There’s really very little to debate here. The Democratic Party can look and learn from Zohran Mamdani’s overwhelming success with young voters - or it can die. I’m not a member of the Party so have no vote on how it responds. If it dies, something better will rise. The kids are alright.

This is Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Tom McCall was the “father of the bottle bill” and other environmental initiatives in Oregon. He was a Republican, and is no doubt spinning in his grave at what the “Rs” have become. And they aren’t ducks. Geese. Canadian Geese, even. Representing. 🇨🇦

This seems like an exceptionally poor decision by ICE. There may be 750,000 SEIU members all lining up to fight this, and for every one of them, there need to be 10x of us saying NO. But damn. The union president? New level of stupid.

No, not going anywhere. Just a few minutes to pause and appreciate the beauty of the airport. Amidst all of the noise and ranting from Cheeto Benito, I will name and claim these moments of peace.
Sneakers on the original Portland airport carpet. There is a little bit preserved in the remodeled terminal. The pattern matches the runway configuration at the time of its design. The little hidden upstairs area where the original airport carpet can be found. PDX. Trees. We have trees in the PDX airport. Singapore’s Changi is the only other airport I’ve been in that does nature so well in what’s otherwise kind of a sterile environment by design.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

It’s weird, but I have to wonder if Cheeto Mussolini’s ego may be the tipping point for Ukraine here. Maybe the little 10 watt bulb is flickering and he doesn’t want to sub to Putin after all. Or he’s forgotten what they have on him. Or doesn’t care. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Target also seemed to think that white customers would be ok ending DEI and cutting ties to Black businesses. Truth? Too many of us ARE ok, or didn’t even notice. But some of us did. Enough that their calculations were off. White people following Black leadership is overdue. Let’s not fuck it up.

I believe that this is a free link, but don’t blame anyone for scrolling away and not reading it. It’s vile, even for him. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is placed to take him down. But it also won’t surprise me if the “family values” folks don’t care. The racism is a feature, after all.
