That was a killer episode of The Pitt.

the chinese intelligence officer assigned to monitoring trump's personal phone

First time I’ve pulled out the old lightning tracker in at least 5-6 months.

Worth mentioning a (slight) chance of some thunderstorms this evening through at least early Saturday. Best chances for today are southern Oregon (some already underway) and over the Cascades. Tomorrow’s chances look *ever so slightly* more widespread. Left: Thursday Right: Friday

Update:

Many many intersection lights are out in inner SE and NE PDX and it made me realize drivers have NO idea how to behave properly in this situation

All the stop lights (and apparently power) was out for a pretty long stretch of the commute today. I can’t believe how bad most people are at understanding the four way stop. Or put another way, how many people just drive through full send as if they had a green light.

How dare they call a foul on Sidi!!

No fouls with tons of contact one way. Instant whistle going the other way. Seems legit.

Toumani is a madman!!!

Big man filling the lane LaMarcus style, in front of LaMarcus!!!!

No…this would mean you’re old: Today a customer called in and said they were a regular customer (checks out) placed their order and asked when we got rid of our 800-number. So I checked, and the answer is 2008.

Air quotes around mistake.

Hear me out. Maybe it’s time to give big homie that cognitive test again.

The Whizzinator getting a plug on the show this morning. Incredibly, Pablo was the only one who knew what it was.

If you see this, post a character from space:

This sounds like I’m saying he’s a bum or something. Which I’m absolutely not. He’s currently my favorite blazer (it changes a lot) and arguably our second best player. I’m just noting one area for improvement.

Back to back record setting or tying warm days in the Willamette Valley. New record (old record, year) Sunday Portland 79 (77, 1977) Salem tie 77 (76, 1952) Eugene tie 76 (76, 2025) Monday Portland 79 (78, 2007) Salem 79 (78, 1906) Eugene tie 81 (81, 1906) Cooler but dry the rest of the week.

If our plan is to have Donovan closing out on shooters we might as well warm up the bus and go home.

Jfc what a shot by Gordon

The last two calls against Toumani are criminal.

Masterclass announcement. I can’t even be mad at that review.

Walking the dog with eight minutes to go is some good business.

Need for Scoot and Donovan to get the pick and roll ironed out.

They never call the foul for Donovan Until well after. Just once I would love for him to stoop down, reach over and grab the refs whistle and give it a toot.

Having Thybulle and Rob available (most nights) really changes the way this team can play.

Upon review, we’re meeting up at Walter Reed for fireworks at sundown.

when it happens they should let bill kennedy announce it on national tv and radio

Death, taxes and blazer broadcasting not showing the live action.

Bill Kennedy is so back. That leg kick was sassy. 👑

This three point shooting is insanity.

Bill Kennedy wyd?

Pretty happy with Scoot’s game so far tonight. Looking decisive.

What happened to Rob’s chain? Better not have been Crabtree’d.

Toumani is smokin.

It appears that a civilian by the name of Charles Oakley is in the crowd at the Knicks-Hawks game here in Atlanta, one of the 29 NBA arenas where he has unfettered access as a ticketed customer.

There is a person at the Costco gas pump that seems to be rummaging around or doing chores in their car while the gas has very clearly stopped pumping. This place is about to erupt if they don’t get a clue very quickly.

The Chicago Bulls will not tolerate missing the play-in. That’s not Chicago Bulls basketball. Chicago Bulls basketball is making the play-in and then losing in it.

*Crying in the **club listening to the astronauts fly rather than any human ever, and name a new moon crater after a deceased colleague. 😭 😢 *Bawling my eyes out **Delivery Van Science is beautiful and one of the best parts of humanity.

A hypothetical: say the Blazers beat the Clippers and secure 8th heading into the play-in. Then say face the Clippers in Portland in a loser goes home game. Here’s the question: would being on a 2-game win streak and facing them a 3rd time in a short window make you more or less confident?

Today’s itinerary: Moon

What do you mean the Blazers don’t play again until Monday. The team could have entirely new owners by then.

Looking like potentially dire news for fire season. (Not the basketball kind, either). Hoping for some timely rain and a low lightning summer. But it would be atypical, so not expecting it to happen.

Imposter!!! Just kidding. Welcome back to the only law enforcement officer bluesky needs.

Why do I hear what sounds like bombs going off in our neighborhood every couple of minutes? Redneck holiday? Trump invading us? Can’t really think of a third option.

The week that was

Interesting Matisse closing this out. I don’t think we’ve seen this before? 👀

Spurs leading the Clippers BIG at halftime. If those results and the Blazer lead holds, Blazers take possession of 8th place in the standings.
