the Broken Earth trilogy, esp the Stone Sky. I would love to see it, if it could be done justice.

Mine would have to be Andrei Rublev. Only made it awake to the end on 4th viewing.

My kiddo is making me watch Hamilton (online) next Sunday in honor of Leslie Odom Jr's last role reprisal. I've never actually seen the whole thing, just heard them play the soundtrack a million times. I'll keep an eye out for Samuel Seabury. #HATM

I need a close-up of that hearty-choke dessert, it looks disgusting from a distance.

Love hearing about food from different eras, thanks for sharing this!

She is adorable. We used to have one much like that, the black patch on top of her head was shaped like angel wings.

I hope the testing went as well as you could hope for!

2021 heat dome left Rhode Island-sized damage in Oregon's, Washington’s western forests • Oregon Capital Chronicle OSU and U.S. Forest Service researchers found the four-day extreme heat event scorched more than 1,000 square miles of tree canopy.

Researchers found nearly 5% of OR & WA’s western forest canopy — about the size of Rhode Island — was scorched and damaged in the multi-day 2021 heat dome.

The extreme heat from June 25 to 29, 2021 brought the temperature in Portland to 116F, killing 70 people in Multnomah County alone.

Museums had a rough 2025: Report shows lower attendance, lost grants, less money The American Alliance of Museums put out its annual industry snapshot and it's not great. Trump's targeting of museum programming had downstream effects and put a "chill on corporate philanthropy."

That is sad. OK, wish I were in person but at least I just logged in to watch via NFHS.

😠

Thank you.

Colored light exhibit at Hopscotch in Portland. Black background, mandala-like circle of repeating colored lights, predominantly blues, greens and purples. It's slightly reflected on the dark floor. For no purpose other than it's pretty.

OPB’s Rob Manning reflects on 13 years covering the ‘Class of 2025′ In 2012, Oregon schools embarked on a goal that by 2025, the state would achieve a 100% high school graduation rate, sparking the creation of OPB's "Class of 2025" project. The project followed 25 stu...

Thanks for this! I also really enjoyed reading Rob Manning's reflections on how the system isn't built to meet students where they are and on how families appreciated being in this reporting.

Can I buy him a sandwich to celebrate?

I was hitting refresh, refresh and caught it when it was called as Yes with 0 votes, 0% reported. But with the next refresh, the numbers started coming in

A body of water is located in the foreground and occupies the center to the right of the photo. It is concrete lined with an iron fence around it. There are fir trees to the left and right side behind the water. In the extreme distance, a forest lined horizon is about 9/16 of the way up the photo. The sky is mostly cloudy but with light clouds. At the center horizon the sun has set behind the hill, with the sky lit up yellow-orange at that point. Rays of yellow-orange streak out of the point. Most of the clouds are lit up in a pink color, with a few dark purple areas.

Sunset from Mt Tabor, Portland, 11 July 2016 for tonight's 9 o'clock photo.
This volcano sits in the middle of the southeast section of the city, and is considered to be extinct, and is thought to have been last active around 300,000 years ago.

Don’t mind me 💅 (cries in TikTok) #gbbo #greatbritishbakeoff #bakeoff #taylorswift TikTok video by tomgbbo

Way to go to them on winning second place and $100,000!

They're singing from The Sacred Harp: 2025 Edition, using the music typeface designed by @composerjk.bsky.social with the Sacred Harp Publishing Company. What a delight!

Laura Loomer better watch where she's walking when Melania drives away tonight.

What an awesome costume, Rosie!

the body double dropping out of 'phoebe' could be 'ursula' . my brain keeps trying and failing to make it make sense.

Sorry, shoulda kept my mouth shut. Greek mythology stuff -- Hades kidnapped Persephone (daughter of Demeter, the harvest goddess) and altho he agreed to return her, he insisted she stay w him for 1 month each year for each pom seed she ate. Demeter gets upset and makes it winter when P's gone.

they're delicious, but once you eat them, you're committed to spending the winter months in the Underworld. at least that's what they told Persephone

"Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues."

In a word, no.

In terms of how the food banks handle $, Charity Navigator would be my go-to before donating. However, it might not take into account other facets like food quality, delivery reach and efficacy, etc. (I haven't read it in detail on food banks)

Way to go, congratulations!

By not paying your IT guy enough. Or is that just Jurassic Park?

Good for Lewis & Clark! @lclark.bsky.social

Picture of a sign on a paddock gate. Sign has a picture of a cow and a lot of text that starts with title: MEET THE HEROES. Cow Blood and Rumen Fluid Donors. Then 2 paragraphs about how "in addition to donating blood to other cattle, this cow donates fluid from their rumen, which is the first and largest stomach compartment in ruminant animals" then has a 3rd paragraph titled DID YOU KNOW? talking about what ruminating means in this context, and a final paragraph and QR code that's cut off at end about the UC Davis Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital's Transfusion Medicine Program.

and not just any campus-owned animals, you all have some superhero donor cows and goats! I was impressed when I visited.
