Three contemplative figures stand beneath the soaring Gothic arches of Portland's St. Johns Bridge, their silhouettes dwarfed by the weathered concrete pillars that frame Cathedral Park's verdant landscape. Afternoon light filters through the cathedral-like structure, casting gentle shadows across manicured lawns while the forested West Hills rise in the distance. The composition draws the eye through successive arches toward the Willamette River beyond, where a graceful weeping willow anchors the middle ground.

I'm so glad it's sunny and warm today in Portland.

Definitely, I had some trouble loading images this morning. Aside from the link clicking issue and images not loading, everything has been smooth sailing.

Yeah, seems to be an issue with Safari on Mac. Chrome works.

It works in Chrome but not on Safari. I'll clear caches. Maybe that'll do it.

Nürnberg 2.0, when?

Bluesky desktop browser users, are you also unable to open external links when clicking them? It's so bizarre.

I used to care so much about cameras. As a result, my pictures still suffer to this day. #photography

A low-angle view of the empty Banfield Freeway (I-84) in Portland's Lloyd District, showing the asphalt road surface with lane markings leading toward downtown buildings visible in the distance. Lush green trees line both sides of the highway, with a concrete overpass bridge crossing above and clear blue skies overhead.

Raggedy.

Appear on the balcony? What is this? The Vatican?

I think this should be done regardless of his importance to national security.

Folk historian and documentarian Clayton Patterson sits contemplatively in his cluttered Essex Street studio, his distinctive long gray beard and skull-adorned cap reflecting decades of chronicling Manhattan's Lower East Side. Warm afternoon light filters through the space, illuminating stacks of books, scattered baseball caps with skull motifs, and the accumulated detritus of a life spent preserving neighborhood history. His weathered hands rest thoughtfully as he surveys his domain—part archive, part sanctuary—where the counter-cultural spirit of old New York endures.

It's a nightmare to think about.

As seen at last week's No Kings.

Maybe Harry's steel blades have a half-life? 😏

Update. Grandma came to the rescue.

Costco is only worth it if you use it as your "grocery store" as well. Might not be cost-effective for your household. Worth running the numbers, though.

Always check Costco (if you are a member). Other than that, Astro stations seem to be the cheapest these days, having dethroned ARCO. 😏

Right? And I have a sneaking suspicion that the sick YouTube algorithms will reward you for this dastardly behavior.

I'd love to show Kevin the subway in late-70s NYC. lmao.

The best I can offer the eleven-year-old on this Easter Sunday is leftover matzo and cream cheese. He's utterly disappointed.

Yeah, I looked at that too. Meta's api's are garbage. Good call.

Steven Cheung wrote this, 100%.

Yes, you should have. Maybe you can do a printer review next and increase the pain on that one?

Wut? Lmao.

He’s obviously trying to trigger people that only speak English.
