The Coldest Winter by David Halberstam definitely helped me gain a much better understanding of the war.

This reminds me a bit of #AYCJ. Pretty fun promo - wish I had the time and energy to do it!

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. If you feel up for watching (motor)bike adventures at the moment, Long Way Up (through Europe) is on Apple TV+. The previous Long Way series are also there (Round - Asia, Down - Africa, Up - South and Central America).

TORDIN. Filling in for the injured Hanks, finds the roof of the net on a breakaway, wide open. 1-0 to Portland early in the 2nd half. #BAONPDX #NWSL

The WNBA has filed three new trademark applications related to the Portland Fire. It would appear that the expansion team will be returning to the name the Portland WNBA franchise used from 2000 to 2002.

TORDIN. Chips the keeper from way out on a counter attack (after a very threatening few moments for Washington). 2-0 with just a few minutes left! #BAONPDX #NWSL

TURNER. It was coming! Lots of good chances this half and near the end, Reilyn Turner puts one away. #BAONPDX #NWSL

Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in an actual, non-exhibition, game. My goodness. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

#NoKings for these Queens. Happy to see so many fellow Multnomah Villagers out in protest this morning! (As a citizen and subject of the United Kingdom, I should point out that this was a no *American* Kings protest.) πŸ˜ƒ

I was sent this by my mom (who is quoted multiple times in it) this morning. Really interesting read.

Super disappointing match (Thorns vs. Tigres in CONCACAF Champions League semifinals). Especially given that it was the last opportunity for some legends from last season to have played a part in one final trophy. Just didn't have it tonight. #BAONPDX

My May 2025 election endorsements for Portland (mostly school related stuff) are here! As always with off-year elections, turnout is light, ballots are due this upcoming Tuesday May 20th, and your vote is really important. #pdx #portland

Ooh, bienvenue, Daniel ! Portland born and raised here. One of my favorite things to do is walk/bike along the waterfront (start around the Steel Bridge and Japanese American Historical Plaza) and do a loop down to OMSI and back over the Hawthorne to city. Great views, very pedestrian friendly.

Hugely agree on this. For an airport that has light rail at its front door, transit times and connections are awful at many points in the day and in many parts of the city. I live 10 miles away. Public transit at this moment, 10:17 PM, would take 2 hours and 3 minutes.

Always an honor to witness the Rwandan Community of Oregon’s commemoration of the 1994 genocide and see Emmanuel Turaturanye speak. This year was the 31st Kwibuka. I was only able to attend briefly due to AmΓ©lie’s nap schedule, but it was so powerful.

When I got in, right around kickoff, I went to 3-4 entrances and they were all out. Given announced attendance of 17,700+, little wonder!

I do realize we now have a four game road trip ahead of us and that there are going to be lots more challenges thrown our way. But given where expectations were at the start of the season (basically none!), this is quite the enjoyable surprise. #BAONPDX

We moved to third in the table, beating a team that barely lost at all last year (except to us!) and won the league championship. We did it without Caiya Hanks, with a defender scoring a goal from long range, pinpoint quick passing, and smothering defense / midfield play. What a joy it was. #BAONPDX
