One of the darkest and most depressing -- but undeniable -- truths that have come out these past weeks has been that most Republicans would have gladly turned Anne Frank and her family over to the Nazis, and felt like patriotic heroes doing it. π

Good point, though I believe he actually lives in Portland (when not in DC) while Kotek lives in Salem. That's my guess on the difference, but it's entirely possible she just didn't make the cut for the WW poll finalists. π€·

If one to was hypothetically thinking of starting a new Portland food cart -- let's say that specializes in doing one dish (with some variation) really well, rather than a whole cuisine -- what's something you think the food cart scene here is missing?

I ask because part of me feels like if they miss something that's what they get for skipping the credits and not respecting the thousands of people who worked on the film.

When you go see a movie that you know has an end credit scene and people nearby you get up to leave as soon as the credits start rolling, do you have a moral obligation to let them know they'll miss something? π€

I saw #Sinners the other day, and honestly have been thinking about it ever since. "Incredible" feels like it doesn't do it justice. Everything is working top level, but especially the music and how it's integrated. That One Scene left me with my jaw on the floor. Bravo, Ryan Coogler, et al. π

Two photos of straw bales arranged in wooden raised gardening beds, one with 4 bales in a row and a long trellis, the other with two rows with 2 bales each.
It begins! Back at #StrawBaleGardening after a couple of years off. Today starts the 12 day conditioning process before I plant in them.

Thank you, Maxine and @maxwellfrost.bsky.social and @repyassansari.bsky.social and @robertgarcia.bsky.social for understanding the assignment. This is Democratic leadership. This is holding the line.

This was for Grand Jury, so it's a little different. We'd just be seeing evidence (for many and varying cases) by the DA/prosecutors and determining if indictments should be made.

Got called for Grand Jury service for the 1st time & went through selection yesterday. I was literally next up to meet w/ the judge, when they announced they had enough jurors/alternates & we were excused. It would have been a lot (9-5, M-F, for a month!). Is it weird I'm kind of disappointed?

With the passing of Val Kilmer it was time to rewatch one of his movies, and I settled on Tombstone. A classic! "I'm your huckleberry" and all that, right?
I only got a few minutes into it when I realized... I've never actually watched it before, only clips and memes, apparently. Oops!

If there's an official count, is there an official list of the final counts for every city/town/rally that you can share? The media keeps repeating a generic "thousands" which seems to REALLY understate the turnouts both locally and nationwide.

I'm no expert in crowd sizes, but holy cow, the #HandsOff Protest and march today in Portland (Oregon) might be even bigger than the Women's March. I'm hearing ~50K at LEAST, which is only downtown and not counting the thousands gathered around the suburbs at smaller protests.

I'm binging the #Sopranos, my first time watching it. It's obviously a great show, but holy cow every single person is just terrible.
Sure, there's the murders, abuse, and betrayals... but right now I'm particularly bewildered that that insufferable Meadow won't STFU about Finn's stupid suitcase. π€¬

Settle a debate: You have some leftover BBQ pulled pork, slaw, and buns, so you're making sandwiches.

I won't get into details, but the hunger from a clear liquids diet + drinking a giant jug of bowel cleaner from 1-3 AM wasn't fun.
It was worth it though. Not to brag, but the doctor was very impressed with how well I cleaned out my bowels. 9/9 on the BBPS (Boston Bowel Preparation Scale). π
