Happy Labor Day, comrades š«”
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.
The biggest reason behind all of those is that passenger rail rides the same tracks as freight and freight always gets priority.
There are not one, not two, but THREE vintage Scamp trailers here.
Roshambo Art Farm, last show of the season. Sheridan, OR.
Stayed in a really cute Basque trailer Airbnb outside Sisters a few years ago and I keep checking Watch Duty and so far it still seems to be outside the perimeter of the Flat Fire. Thoughts are with Claire and all those evacuated from the fire.
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

Yes! In Brooklyn and we always get folks saying we're in Sellwood. There's a whole Westmoreland between us and Sellwood!
A massive attack on several humanities units (Arabic Studies, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German & Scandinavian, Russian/East European/Eurasian Studies) *and* tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!). Closure of units and faculty layoffs threatened.
Indeed. Rachel Pritzker, chair of Third Way, is one of the top funders.
So Trump thinks he can override a state election law that was voted for by an overwhelming 70% of Oregonians almost 30 years ago and remains incredibly popular. States rights but only for disenfranchisement, I guess.
Assuming the aspiring TikTokker who was so proud of herself for reading all of Zohran Mamdani's tweets never bothered to look up what causes rickets when she submitted this disgraceful story.
Because it's gross and antisocial to condone children getting sick because their parents make bad choices, even when those choices are dictated by anti-science propaganda.
That's why I said "off-hand" and you should read it again and just not post when ideas like that come into your head.
Also their supporters' children, who don't have a choice, who you're also condemning to death with off-hand comments like this.
Yeah. New Seasons 7 Corners is a bit farther, but honestly Trader Joe's is easiest to get to on public transit. The co-op tried again in the spot by the post office, but didn't make it 6 months.
Itās probably not a full mile to the crap QFC in Moreland, and the walk isnāt the worst, but the store is. Much rather have an Asian market nearby.
My neighborhood isnāt technically a food desert, but for being very inner SE PDX, itās a mile to any grocery store, over the tracks or freeway. There was a little co-op for a minute, but didnāt make it. As a non-driver, itās been annoying for decades.
Channel is gone! I don't know if they took it down from user reports, or because I emailed the copyright inquiries desk at DN! and they asserted their claim. In any case, did my good deed to keep the internet clean for the week.

Moral of the story, if you're working in a heavily regulated industry, don't lie to your customers about what the well-known and publicized regulations are.
Back at the dispensary today and walked in with another customer who was not only on the phone, but on SPEAKER. The new budtender who said this to me last week immediately apologized to me that she had lied about the regs. Manager was there, we all agreed that we got off on the wrong foot.
Yeah, thrift for that. People get gift baskets in those things all the time and never want to hold onto the basket itself.
Extremely disturbing delineation of Israel perfidy and US malfeasance in Gaza by Dr. Tarek Loubani, right now on @majorityreport.bsky.social with @emmavigeland.bsky.social and @samseder.bsky.social The doctor describes what everyone fears to be true. The facts are almost too disturbing to bear.

"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people
Damn, canāt make it this weekend. Slacked off too much yesterday and gotta get some outside stuff done before it gets hot. Keep me in the loop tho!
Breathtaking.
I know OLCC rules can seem rather arbitrary, but I've never heard about this before and I think the new budtender who was working just threw it at me because (I know this) it's rude to retail workers. They heard it ring just as I was walking in, what was I supposed to do?
Just walking into the neighborhood dispensary when my husband called to say he was going to be late and they kicked me out saying that OLLC rules say you can't be on the phone while inside?!?!? WTF? I looked up and down the code and I don't see ANYTHING about this. It was not my usual budtender.
This is not self defense. This is not about saving hostages, this is clearly about total annihilation.
The black oystercatcher chicks at Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach died because someone kept pointing lasers at them. Why are people like this? This nesting pair has never had a successful fledgling. It's too late in the season for them to try again.
There was a joke predicated on Zardoz being the name of Sean Connery's character when it's the name of the giant floating head. And they didn't even use "the gun is good, the penis is evil" line when there was a layup for it. (might have been written and cut, tho)
Irrationally mad that Colbert botched a Zardoz joke tonight.

This means that large/destructive waves are *not currently expected* for U.S./Canada West coast after further evaluation. However, local inundation up to ~6 ft in some specific locations is possible (e.g., Crescent City). Attached is screenshot of latest arrival times/heights.

I think it has more to do with rejecting the corruption and influence by the Israel lobby than actual policies.

As a marketing copy editor and a former letterpress operator the association of the em-dash with AI is absolutely infuriating. Saw a tiktok the other day from a student who got flunked out of a class for using em-dashes in a paper and daring to question the prof's bizarre grading criteria.
Noticed recently that this delightful film has made it to Tubi.
Yeah, it's pretty low. Which makes the media obsession all the more ridiculous.
Reading through this polling data has really convinced me that @bradlander.bsky.social could easily take out Dan Goldman.
That's the Washington Post. The NYT is owned by the Sulzberger family.

My "favorite" Kessler "fact check" was when he called Bernie Sanders a liar for correctly noting that "Three people in this country own more wealth than the bottom half of America." Kessler's argument was that it doesn't count because "people in the bottom half have essentially no wealth."

All of the conservation-related, science-based elements of the Forest Service are to be terminated or cut to the bone, while remaining functions to be centralized and narrowly focused on one goal -- timber production. This is an irreversible national disaster in the making.

Well this particular white woman frequently uses this energy to complain about filthy homeless people in her neighborhood and panicking about running into transwomen in the restroom, so she's kinda deserved getting the "Karen" moniker.
With the obvious caveat that children are not responsible for nor necessarily agree with what their parents do, have I mentioned lately that Axiosās Mike Allen is the son of OG conspiracy theorist Gary Allen, whose 1971 blockbuster was the book that inspired Alex Jones to become the man he is today?

I think we need confirmation that he had a job to begin with. Probably had this Give Send Go page ready to go before the shown even came out.
He wasn't. The individual died in 2019 and his family member appears to have made up the whole story.
The only source quoted in the story is the single family member. So kind of, they're reporting on what their source told them, which was, apparently, a fabrication.

My grandfather worked for USAID training farm practices and he spent the 60s in Afghanistan and my dad gets *very* mad at the suggestion that his dad was working for the CIA. The CIA certainly got info about opium production from his work, but the soft power came from improving other crops.
I really, really enjoyed this travelog - as a finnophile (mostly for hockey goalies) and a nerd for unique languages. A fun time was had, even vicariously.
The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
Reminder that Brianna also inserted herself into GamerGate, claiming she was a target and saying a bunch of unhinged shit until she *was* a target. She's basically running the same grift now with her new-found Zionism.
He's barely in it either, but still memorable as actual Jesus in The Life of Brian. Always a treat as a supporting actor. RIP.
