This is the result of 3 years of hard work, y’all. It’s a good contract, and it lifts ALL the boats.

In defense of the phrase, “ticking time bomb.” No pedants, it is not redundant.

If it’s ticking, it has been activated. The danger is more imminent.

I settled into it after a week. But I can never shake the feeling that I’m not particularly good at seeing anything.

Did you pull a Full Dad and take a picture of your thumb?

How Oregon became such a pet-friendly state Oregon has a reputation for being strong on pet ownership, from rescue to “the rainbow bridge.” In this “Oregon Experience” documentary on the state’s animal welfare history, pets are the main charact...

Roses are red,
Fur babies are great,

It’s still on.

These baseball probabilities AppleTV is putting on the screen are pissing me off.

They know what they’re doing. They know people are being hurt by gambling.

Tom Bombadil or I’m out.

Oh shit

There’s just no evidence of that. None.

It’s spring.

Gray’s Landing resident applauds temporary injunction against use of chemical munitions Mindy King lives in an apartment building that is less than 100 feet from the ICE facility on Portland’s South Waterfront. A judge’s ruling gives her a reprieve from the chemicals federal agents have ...

I really enjoyed this conversation. However you might feel about the protest activity at the Portland ICE facility, it’s not too much to expect no tear gas in your home.

Portland city councilor calls for renaming César Chávez Blvd. following sexual assault allegations Her statement comes hours after a news report said the farmworker union leader sexually assaulted women and girls.

There it is.

This clapback is to gym bros who just had to splain on a celebratory post of a bench press achievement.

But it’s also basically the cri de coeur of our times.

Southwest Washington’s Kent resigns over Trump’s Iran war, says Iran posed no imminent threat Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, announced his resignation on Tuesday, saying he “cannot in good conscience” back the Trump administration’s war in Iran.

This is huge. Kent lost 2 Congressional races out here because he was too Trump-aligned.

Specifics please! I always love being introduced to new discoveries in my own city.

Walking through the Skipton Castle Woods. Every inch of this island is haunted. 🇬🇧

The Hague. But I’m guessing you’re about to give me a rural-urban explanation that applies here too?

I’m in the Netherlands. So far, I’ve not needed any cash or Dutch to get by.

It’s certainly convenient, but a little off-putting. How did Visa and English become the linguae francae?

Ok. I’m not part of this world so I really would love a sincere explanation, even if it’s so much D’uh.

Why don’t the other reporters in the room stick up for her? Repeat her question until he answers it? Something?

Lake Oswego theater loses rights to screen 'Melania' after marquee jokes - Lake Oswego Review Lake Theater & Cafe announced that it will no longer show “Melania,” the Amazon Studios documentary about the first lady, after Amazon revoked the theater’s rights to the film. “Got […]

Amazon Studios isn’t down with marquee snark.

Chris Dudley enters Oregon governor’s race Former Portland Trail Blazers center Chris Dudley has entered the governor's race again after losing to John Kitzhaber in 2010.

The GOP has changed in the 16 years since Dudley ran. Will be watching to see if he has changed with it.

Former Univision anchor keeps Spanish-speaking Oregonians informed with DIY newscast Antonio Sánchez launched "Noticias Noroeste" on Inauguration Day in 2025. The daily Spanish newscast on YouTube has evolved into a source of news during a time of great fear and upheaval for Oregon’s ...

Talk about stepping up for a community!

Univision left Portland in late 2024. Antonio decided to fill the void with his own daily Spanish-language newscast. It’s all him, and he’s worked his ass off on this project for a year now.

I’ve had a beer with exactly one person in that Best Podcast nomination reel. #GoldenGlobes

Back in the day, I would’ve advocated for Rashomoning the MN videos. Show all of them raw to people across the spectrum and report on their conclusions.

Not sure that would be useful anymore.

This was beautifully done.

The Takeover of Malheur Kicked Off a Decade of Lawlessness The wildlife refuge occupation set the stage for Trump, January 6, and so much more.

And thus began our decade of white men openly, brazenly and vigorously doing crimes and getting away with it.

“The refuge occupation was a rash before a fever, a symptom of our approaching political chaos.”

My Miserable Week in the ‘Happiest Country on Earth’

This was my favorite article of the year. It made me an even bigger Finnophile.

Anyway I got a sauna slapper for Christmas.

The most joyous, uplifting thing I saw all year.

Beaverton Kwanzaa celebrates 5th year What began as a grassroots gathering has become an annual event centered on the holiday’s values of unity, self-determination and community.

Violets are dear,
