Saw my first Portland Fire game. Very fun. Hope to go again soon.

Bluesky 2056 here. My fondest late 20s memory is the look on Farage's face when he realised that the button marked 'more Russian money' he just pressed actually activated the giant blender he was standing in. Still laugh when I think of the noises he made. What's your favourite 2027-2030 memory?

Like 18k away from the ETFs all being underwater, btw

If only we had a crypto sovereign wealth fund

hey just checking in on grifter Tom Lee's "Bitmine Immersion" ETF

Given that Maine has a semi-open primary system this could actually be a thing which happens, assuming most Maine Republicans don't really care that much about their own primaries for governor/etc...

What the hell are you all doing, BlueSky doomsayers?!? Move you ass and go buy the dip: how else can a country attain GREATNESS? Thank you for your attention to this matter

"Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)" by Leo Sayer followed by "Love is Alive" by Gary Wright playing in the bank.

We're getting to see - Who would eagerly join fascists AND - Who would fall for MULTIPLE blatant tulip-mania-level bubbles at the same time!

man Big Fiscal really built up a head of steam, the economy still staggering forward despite Trump repeatedly kicking it in the kidneys

Let's do the fucking news.

Woke up with "Piggy in the Middle" by the Rutles in my head, so that's a pretty good start.

Good. People don't want that fucking bullshit forcibly jammed into the index funds in their 401Ks and IRAs, etc. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Saw the Chuck Israels Jazz Orchestra at the Jack London Revue. Enjoyed it very much.

It would be an amusing result of tech rent seeking if all of their innovations ended up pushing people away from using the internet because the user experience has become awful and foundational structures like search engines have been rendered unusable. (I feel at some point I will retreat myself.)

Some record gifts of birthdays past: 9th - "The Partridge Family Album" from parents. 10th - The Cowsills "II x II" from parents. 21st - Girls at Our Best - "Fast Boyfriends" b/w "This Train" single from H. 22nd - Wobble, Czukay, Liebzeit e.p. from John Kappes on suggestion of Deb Waltari.

Before I forget, I should mention that I learned to swim at Lake Mendota in Madison, WI and the swimming teacher was named Georgia Wright. During summers, she taught small groups of kids to swim. This was 1967 and 1968. There were a couple of other teachers doing that too. I think the city paid them

It took two rental attendants and finally their manager at the rental car center at O’Hare to confirm that New Mexico is in fact part of the US and that I am not a foreign national trying to rent a car

Data centers occupy 436 acres in the city with 50 more acres under construction...The industry is receiving $84 million in Hillsboro tax breaks this year and $453 million statewide. Hillsboro’s data centers aren’t significant employers. They're electricity hogs. www.oregonlive.com/silicon-fore...

Sucks that the FDA will ban this, eh?

Absolutely. As I've said before, FDR's court-packing plan failed because most Americans didn't recognize the conservative majority there was acting in a partisan fashion. But the Roberts Six are deeply corrupt, nakedly partisan, and barely bothering to hide their contempt for precedent. Let's go.

So this is his 60 Minutes job application?

Woke up with "I'm Gonna Love You Too" by Blondie in my head, so that's a pretty good start.

Reminder that it’s more fun to do bad photoshops than to ask robots to drain a reservoir to make a distressingly weird facsimile of your idea

9:50pm update: what we know so far, with lots to come: —Deb Haaland wins Dem nomination for NM Gov. —Hamawy wins #NJ12, likely headed to Congress. —It'll be Hinson vs. Turek for Iowa Senate. —It'll be Kean (R) vs Bennett (D) in NJ07. —Tight GOP battles for governor in SD, IA, NM

To the extent SCOTUS is articulating a principle (other than letting the GOP have its way in election cases), it's: a state can do whatever it wants at the last minute to change the rules of an election, & courts can do nothing about it — even with evidence of intentional discrimination.

I am the only one left from this outfit. No more mom’s hand to hold my head in place, so I’m constantly gazing off at odd angles now.

Picking out songs for mom's funeral. She asked that my cousin sing. He's a singer. "Abide with Me" seems a better song than "Amazing Grace" (sung at past funerals). Also, the Carter Family variation "Can the Circle be Unbroken" has better lyrics than the original "Will the Circle be Unbroken."

Wow, good for #Missoula #Montana . I did ride the Mountain Line some back in my collitch days. dailymontanan.com/2026/06/01/m...

Woke up with "Delta Dawn" by Tanya Tucker in my head, so that's a pretty good start.

First day on Medicare was successful. I did not consult a medical professional. Took some pills.

It’s a tie between “Black Bag” and “Burn After Reading.” Both great for completely different reasons.

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

Saw "Backrooms" at the Laurelhurst. Enjoyed it.

Also the women have no races, we’re just to assume “women” means White women?

Saw a 1965 Corvair on NE 33rd. Fuck Ralph Nader and his "Tweedle-dee" bullshit, btw.
