Oregon's governing elite ("the rich") are working hard to undo the campaign finance and transparency law that was enacted in 2024 before it goes into effect next year. Maybe give your legislator a call and tell 'em to knock it off.

In honor of Bluesky supporting @bandcamp.com embeds, here’s one of my favorite songs from the first band I saw when I moved to Oregon at the late, great Doug Fir

Guy knows how to stick to the talking points. Love that the reporter, uneasy, tries to keep it β€œlight” and nopes out as soon as he says it the second time.

Don’t beat yourself up. Those are third order risks. What Don Rumsfeld called, known unknowns.

My only real exposure to β€œMexican food in the UK” is watching β€œMexican week” on GBBO and what struck me was just how out in left field (or whatever the cricket equivalent is) their opinions were.

Like, no clue what a taco was. Just β€œmedieval illuminations of hippos” levels of inaccuracy.

Senate G.O.P. Faces Pressure to Force β€˜Talking Filibuster’ for Voter I.D. Bill

Maybe not THE final fight against creeping autocracy, but it’s very close. If Senate democrats fail to lay it all in the line to block the SAFE Act, the stage is set for some really bad chaos in and after November.

The motorcycle chase and shootout!
It's been a few years since the series ended and I think we all forgot that he was flexing as the new king of action and comedy directing.

I did a rewatch in the fall after moving into my new place. I bought two plants and named them Amos and Peaches.

When I ran 10k somewhat competitively in the 80's mine was Blondie's Rapture. Great cadence for 5 min miles.

The left tried for decades to pass green energy subsidies, passed them, the subsidies worked, and now literally the entire planet's electricity grid is going to convert to solar+battery. It just doesn't feel like "tech" because it mostly produces kinda boring blue collar jobs instead of billionaires

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

Look at the craftsmanship of that solid steel boi! It weighed ten pounds and if you could still find one, if you plugged it in, it would still work. We used to be a country that built things.

You know one team whose owner will definitely not be on that list? The Packers. America’s Team because they are community owned.

the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

I live to write with a tiny buzz. Helps turn off the noisy self-editor and lets me indulge in ideas I wouldn’t otherwise. Can always evaluate later.
