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.

Roses are red,
Violets are dear,

I’ll give Lucy half credit for recommending involvement. Solid advice. Probably worth the nickel.

I truly don’t get why the entire staff at 60 Minutes - from Lesley Stahl on down - hasn’t resigned this morning.

I just drank what is probably my last Rogue Ale.

There’s a tear in my beer.

And I don’t even like boxing.

And yes, I’ve heard all the ways Hagler was robbed. But it was such a beautiful technical fight, it doesn’t really matter who got the decision.

Every time I hear of yet another influencer stunt match, I think back to the 1987 Sugar Ray Leonard v Marvelous Marvin Hagler fight.

A master class of skill, grace and athleticism. It’s like they were dancing.

A Few Good Men is my favorite movie. Full stop.

This nugget about Jack Nicholson’s performance from @jamellebouie.net is so spot on.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

I mean, yeah you’re both “expecting” I guess. But only one of you is having your body brutalized.

I heard it again today so I’m gonna ask.

“We’re pregnant!” Um, how do you figure?

I’ve always been fascinated by submariners. I grew up a Pirates fan and could watch Kent Tekulve for hours.

Department of Labor Holds First Prayer Service U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer attended a Pentagon prayer service. That inspired her to start her own monthly prayer service.

Sec. Chavez-DeRemer has begun monthly prayer meetings. This 1st one had some red meat for conservatives.

I eat peas with honey
I’ve done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife

🔊 Listen Now: Remembering Susan Stamberg and the holiday recipe she shared with listeners All Things Considered on NPR One | 2:11

NGL I teared up a little over this remembrance of all the years Susan pushed this quivering pink goo on us.

I love this idea. It’s like PNW ASMR for your eyes.
