Regarding that Qatari air force base, Idaho has a strong track record of welcoming outsiders.

REALLY wish he had never recorded a song with kid rock tho

Thanks to generative AI, there is now growing aversion to using the em dash — which is ironic, because it's appropriate and already underused. Everyone worries it will make people think you used chatgpt.

My son is freaking out because I edited a couple into his college essay.

A robin's nest lies atop fallen leaves underneath the hackberry tree where it raised a family of young birds.

The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland It'd be hilarious if he wasn't the commander in chief.

New in PN: The impossibly dumb reason for Trump's invasion of Portland

"Trump’s confusion isn’t just darkly comical (and a troubling reminder of the president’s growing senility) — it’s a stark illustration of the whiplash-inducing disconnect between his rhetoric and the reality on the ground."

Corporate America loves the verb "drive" — as in, drive adoption, drive revenue, drive results. It makes me die a little inside each time I read it. Who wants to be reminded of driving when you don't have to actually do it?

In sum, we must destroy capitalism and abolish ICE.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signs executive order establishing ‘ICE-free zones’ • The TRiiBE Johnson is calling for a full investigation into “all of the brutality” that federal agents have conducted this past week.

During his follow-up Q&A with reporters, Johnson said the “rightwing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War.”

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Portland never stops being Portland.
