I sure hope this pans out. Seems like a good move for him and more importantly an opportunity for Timbers to upgrade defensive coaching staff. I loved ridgy as a player and person but it's clear that our defense has been a fucking shambles since he's been on staff.

Reply to a reddit post. OP: "Just spent 30 minutes consoling my 8 year old who broke into tears after I broke the Evander news (Evander was his favorite player, was him for Halloween etc.). I’m personally on the if he doesn’t want to play I’m ok he’s gone, but this side of it sucks…"

And my reply: "earning to live with disappointment is an important part of growing up.

And an essential part of being a Portland sports fan."

Is this about the final inbound play at blazers vs charlotte?

Music On This Day

Music On February 23…

My knowledge of these songs is not great (except for the Van Hagar one of course) but the recording/production styles are so period-specific it's pretty easy to place them.

Hah! At the time it came out, my friend group also refused to acknowledge H2's existence, referring to is as "the Scottish movie" - H3 being "the Scottish movie, part 2".

Sent this letter to @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov ... I don't know what else to do. This situation is intolerable.

Red Sparowes - "The Great Leap Forward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like a Mighty Storm, Suddenly and Furiously Blinding Our Senses."

But the track titles from the whole album are meant to flow together- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Every_R...

A roadside memorial with candles, flowers, balloons, notes and signs, and other ephemera. A bag of sour patch kids is propped on a candle, as well as a Veterans Administration placard for memorial wreaths with Alex Pretti's name on it. There is a sign on the ground that says ABOLISH ICE.

Rode my bike through the cemetery and up Terwilliger here in Portland OR. I intended to pay respects to the victims of this administration's war on its citizens but was not prepared to find a spontaneous memorial for Alex Pretti at the entrance to the VA hospital.

Together we are so powerful.

“We came out here dressed in T-shirts and twirling Hula-Hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us, so we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us, so we came back with vests, and they started aiming for the head, so we started wearing helmets, and now they call us terrorists. Who’s escalating this? It’s not us.”

🤯 You mean I don't have to keep this special pin on my desk to hit the reset button on my QMK keeb controller three times a day...?!? If this works I will buy you a coffee & pastry of your choice. (I have a setting for "Accessories" but not a separate "Wired" setting, but presumably the same)

In a moment of gorgeous symmetry, watching this video made me laugh so hard I choked on my sandwich and had to give myself the Heimlich maneuver on the edge of the kitchen counter.

There isn’t going to be a Christmas Eve windstorm today We now know the European (ECMWF) and other weaker models were correct these last two days. They have been showing an inland track for the surface low pressure center that is passing overhead right now...

looks like recent model runs and the low's track northward have downgraded the severity of the event, thankfully.
