Welcome to Forbiddensky.

Bald eagle in flight.

Nyoom! A bald eagle in flight. It probably spotted the fish & chips I had for lunch and is now in pursuit.

Unfortunately, I missed the Artemis II splashdown yesterday. I was distracted with thunderstorms developing in our area.

I received an email this morning from YouTube, announcing the YouTube Premium Individual plan rate will increase.

The new rate will be $15.99 per month, an increase of about 23%, and takes effect on the May 2026 billing.

Incredible lightning show tonight! #pdxtst #orwx

The bike owner probably had their bike registered with either Project 529 or Bike Index, which likely helped PPB track down the bike after it was reported stolen. Curious to know, too.

Trump still needs to be impeached.

Donald Trump is absolutely batshit insane at this point. He needs to be removed from office, by impeachment or by the 25th Amendment, before more people are harmed or killed.

"Top Secret" White House ameneties revealed in a court filing. Good gawd.

Also, I'm calling the ballroom "the shed."

🤦

It would make for some "entertainment!"

The sodium lights make it look like they're deicing with a flame thrower.

I'm not sure if social media is dying or if people are simply burned out with it.

After earlier this morning, a simple, positive, kind, and uplifting message is what I needed to read here. Thank you, President Obama.

25th Amendment now, please.

Good morning! Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

OPB’s First Look: The future of Lloyd Center New owners offer a glimpse of their plans for the former shopping mall and its historic ice rink. Here's your First Look at Friday's news.

The redevelopment might be a good thing. Mixed use with retail and residential, and open spaces. Going back to its original roots of being an outdoor mall, so to speak. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Mall's closing at the end of the year. They've redone the rink several years ago. Many of the stores are gone as are many of the food court food stands.

It is. They've already demolished the Nordstrom store.

While it's still here, but won't be for long.
