From emojipedia— "The Transgender Flag emoji is a ZWJ sequence combining 🏳️ White Flag, Zero Width Joiner and ⚧️ Transgender Symbol. These display as a single emoji on supported platforms."

Actually that 70% calculation assumes no exhausted ballots, so I think it's probably out of reach unless the opposition to Frey is quite strong.

It gets too messy for a good comparison without looking at the cast vote record data.

Remaining vote came in and it became harder, but it's gonna be close.

For comparison, 70% of eliminated votes need to go to Fateh, and in Portland, 68% of votes went to Wilson and Rubio when Mapps was eliminated.

It is— tracked it back to twitter.com/bobbyfijan/s...

More obvious in the details with a less compressed image

Wait actually

A map, with the title "Traffic Free Areas", displaying downtown Portland with several (10 + the waterfront) highlighted districts, bounded by named streets.

TRAFFIC FREE AREAS Automobile traffic is noisy, smelly, and dangerous . The plan identifies some Downtown districts as "traffic free. " In some cases, this is an objective than can only be approached. Access will always be required for service and emergency vehicles even where it is possible to exclude local traffic. In general these "traffic free" areas coincide with major use retail core, the university district——or they have some unifying feature such as the Park Blocks. Eliminating or reducing traffic will achieve important environmental obj ec— tives . For the most part the traffic circulation plan provides for major traffic movements between or adj acent to districts . In the case of the Downtown Waterfront, an objective of the plan is to elim— inate traffic barriers between the river and the adjoining dis— tricts In districts where traffic remains heavy, pedestrian circulation can be improved by providing second—level connections across streets . Planning Guidelines Develop a "traffic free" environment in the following districts : 1. Retail Core 2. Waterfront Retail/ Exhibition Center 3. Downtown Waterfront 4. Skidmore Fountain/OId Town 5. West of Waterfront 6. Government Center 7. Portland Center 8. South Waterfront 9. Portland State University 10. South Park Blocks 11. Residential neighborhoods west of 10th 12. North Park Blocks 13. Union Station/ Railyards

I was skimming the Portland '1972 Downtown Plan' to read up on the history of protected viewpoints, and...

I owe you an apology Portland planners and politicians of 55 years ago. I wasn't really familiar with your game.

The object has the same ID, 'CCSW72', as the 'Collins Circle' viewpoint, so it might be some extra feature to 'protect the view of the west hills', or it might have something to do with this 'view street', which mentions 'height limits along SW Jefferson'.

I think I'll want to read up on it and figure out exactly how the scenic resources impact the plan first.

Still might do this, but just fyi there's a bunch more detail and quite a few pictures in the CC2035 'Scenic Resources Protection Plan'.

Half of the views appear significantly impacted by vegetation growth in the past 20 years. If we aren't requiring shrubs and trees to be cut back to maintain the views, what are we doing crippling the growth of our city because of them?

I'm looking at several of these on Google Earth / Streetview, and it's making me really want to go to each location to take pictures, and put graphical overlays displaying the exact section covered by the corridors over them.

Portland, Oregon was the first city to build a streetcar system in the US since World War II - and unlike many of its successors, it actually built a real network that goes places! youtu.be/bWg-H6s0TiQ

Yeah, hm.

It's a really bad panel draw fwiw, and (to my understanding) no matter what they decide, Judge Immergut's second TRO will remain in place

Maybe you already saw this, but yeah, they're a r/PortlandOR troll.

www.reddit.com/r/PortlandOR...

Their profile doesn't show up with any comments or posts for some reason, but the linked thread contains enough.

Hegseth already called up Texas National guard to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago" earlier today.

Judge Immergut is unable to apply an injunction outside of Oregon, though. An Illinois judge will need to block it there.

I don't think it's weird not to link your TikTok account on Reddit— I doubt they would unless they were taking streaming seriously, which I haven't seen any indication of.

The Utah comment is here:
www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsi...

I don't know why that one doesn't show up on the profile, but her comments on r/TransDIY and r/4tran4 aren't available except through screenshots taken before the subreddits went private.

The Reddit account uses the same specific username format ('lancelotte' vs 'lancelott3') as her personal TikTok, which shows her face, and she's posted on Reddit that she lives in Utah within 20 miles of the Arizona border.

Yeah, at first I thought they were just talking about the relationship claim, so I engaged, but then I saw their post history.

His roommate was trans. Social media accounts with usernames and identifying details that match were found today which strongly indicate it. Whether or not the two were in a relationship is a different matter, but 'six sources familiar with the investigation' told Axios that investigators believe it

6 mile long rails to trails connecting Hillsboro, Cornelius, and Forest Grove west of Portland, currently in design and expected to start construction next summer.

The house (with the vote of Javadi) did just pass the (much reduced) transportation package, which would increase the state transit payroll tax from 0.1% to 0.2%, but not before Dems voted a two year sunset to that increase through committee, purportedly in order to temper Republican walkout threats

Wouldn't a precise description be more productive here? Plenty of those present aside from those protesting could be accurately described as activists. There's nothing inherently wrong with activism.

(Sorry for taking the jab more seriously than is warranted, it just bugs me)

Nothing as dramatic or interesting as the NYC ballots, but there are definitely insights to take from the data, probably with more analysis.

District 4 (threshold 19,180):
