Response to our pool reporter question on why Inter Miami’s Yannick Bright was given a red card in the 87th minute: “Yannick Bright was given a red card for offensive, insulting, abusive language. He said, ‘b*tch *ss n*gga’ to his opponent.”

Cardiff City going up bay-bee! Can’t wait to play Spurs in the Championship next year

I hope to see you at my town hall TODAY, Saturday, April 18 at 11 AM at the McDaniel High School Auditorium.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

this is fucking nuts:

lol it’s about to feel as small market here as everyone else in this country already assumed it was

Apparently service isn't something to be celebrated if you're a Democrat.

Why isn't it immediately obvious to everyone that the solution is to move away from dependence on oil? (I know why there is resistance, of course. The oil industry generates a lot of money.) But still. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

AIPAC Fury

Sitting president telling potential adversaries what types of defenses they'll have to deal with to get him in his bunker. What a maroon.

“Portland’s existing zoning laws were written to exclude tenants, working class people and people of color from Portland’s most desirable neighborhoods. Today’s vote is a victory for anyone who thinks Portland should fix that.” - PNW board member @amb.fyi www.kgw.com/article/news...

This is the kind of manager Merritt Paulson should hire but never will. Not that Iraola would consent to working with the clowns running this club.

"pope should stay out of politics." brother you need to stay out of a size medium

I support @sanders.senate.gov’s efforts to stop the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel as the Netanyahu government levels entire towns and targets communities in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.

Quelle surprise.

BREAKING NEWS: We just won a lawsuit against Live Nation and Ticketmaster for driving up ticket prices for fans, artists, and venues. The federal government stepped back from the fight, but our coalition stepped up — and we won. We’ll continue fighting for working families. #orpol

Take this opportunity to tell councilor EPG what you think, whether it's about budget matters or your feelings about her receiving calls and texts from unelected power brokers on her personal cell phone regarding how the council functions. Or maybe demand that you have the same access.

shorter bishops: The pope did not stutter

The Iranians are excellent at wind-ups. Here they point out US fundamental flaws. But, they have a valid point. In the ‘80s they renamed the Tehran St, where the British Embassy stood, to Bobby Sands St; the Embassy had to move its main entrance around the corner! Sands was an IRA hunger striker.

The Blazers should win the championship this year as a prank.

American conservative politician Clare Boothe Luce converted to Catholicism in 1946. In a 1953 meeting with Pope Pius XII, she was fiercely lecturing the pontiff on the Church's moral duty to fight communism when the Pope finally interrupted her. "You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

SERGEANT GANDER

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

#Cupset #USOpenCup

When you feel imposter syndrome sneaking up on you, just remember that JD Vance lectured the Pope on theology.

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.

Please, thank you, yes ma’am, no sir, hold the door for people, say excuse me, eat what you’re served, give a thank you wave when someone yields, tip 20%, go to the same spot to eat regularly, talk to your neighbors, cut the the kids some slack, it’s Sunday league not USL, say cheers, buy a round.

JD Vance, god-splaining to the pope

As far as I'm aware, no Portland area media have written about this death besides @thewesternedge.bsky.social, even as national outlets are picking it up. Bizarre!

"The Trump administration has repeatedly targeted Colorado, promising “harsh measures” if the state does not release election denier and former Republican Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters from prison" Western states that have bucked Trump's initiatives may be in for this treatment come fire season.

Drop him off in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and remind him it's his natural habitat.

It's a mtg of moderate/conservative democrats who like to say shit like "I went to REED" and "I do yoga twice a week with my Stanley cup" and "Downtown scares me"

I think @portlandfire.bsky.social are going to have their work cut out for them convincing fans they made the correct call choosing two European players no ne here has ever heard of, especially given who they passed up to draft Martín.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

McSweeney's nails absolutely everything I hate about journalists writing current affairs books.

One observation I have is that no other Portland media has picked up on this story? When you think about where you invest your subscriber dollars, think about if you see coverage of everyday people like you reflected back at you.

Powerful. Thank you for sharing, Erica.

we have Elissa Slotkin at home ffs
