I feel that I should say up front that I don't believe an armed citizen takeover is the best or the safest way to convert Portland General Electric to a publicly owned utility, so we should find another approach.

"Portland General Electric revenue for the twelve months ending March 31, 2026 was $3.527B, a 2.56% increase year-over-year." - via Macrotrends In Portland in 2026, wealthy and powerful companies can run roughshod over our local governments. This is wrong.

Seriously? The original proposal was shot down by the City Council 12-0, but the city will promise approval with simply a $3M bump from PGE? If this is how the City negotiates ... (gift)

Hell yeah, 3 points baby! I'm not entirely sure what this means.

Motherfuckers out here acting like dudes and bros will be disqualified from running for office because they're "really nice, but not quite boyfriend material" or "didn't text me back for 3 days." Get a fucking grip, man. And don't run for office.

I just ran into Mitch McConnell hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Really can't be overstated how Uncommitted was the prime example of what a lot of liberals (in the broad, non pejorative sense) claim to like: an inside-outside strategy which tries to appeal to the establishment to change its policies by using all institutional tool possible. They hated it anyway.

My position remains pretty straightforward: I’m not supporting a blank check for a public subsidy where both the scale and distribution of benefits are largely unknown. And I’m a hard no on PCEF as the source. We have contract protections for a reason, so let’s use them to not get screwed.

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity

i should be trying to juice my own donations (i’m pretty close to T2), but i’d really like to see @jameyevenstar.bsky.social and @mullen4pdx.com hit the first tier of SDE matching funds in July to get a real shot at winning a seat. pitch in $10 and give each a donation matched 10:1

Arthritis has me buying tools with big, cushy, over-molded handles. I'm all about the ergonomics as I descend into my dotage.

Gotta take KOIN to task here for describing Jordan Schnitzer as "real estate developer, philanthropist, and major art collector" and failing to mention that he's definitely not a creepy, disgusting toad, no matter what you may have heard (no need to look it up).

Okay, Grace hates fireworks now. She was fine with the sporadic ones, but tonight she's trying to hide under furniture. As a reformed fireworks exploder I'm not going to get on my high horse about it too much.

Harvested the last of my garlic today, a bit earlier than last year, when I harvested it on July 5. This is the Chesnok Red variety. Looks good, but a lot of the heads seem smaller than they did last year. Or maybe that's because my other varieties are so huge. Anyway, we got a fuckton o garlic.

Dang. I think maybe the Blazers will have enough guard depth lol, he'd never get any minutes here, but I'll miss this guy. Hopefully he gets some run and that contract gets upgraded.

I have every reason to believe that Keith Wilson is, if nothing else, a reasonably savvy business guy. I doubt his successful trucking company was giving out huge no-bid contracts without any idea of the scope of work. He knows better, so we should absolutely question his integrity and his motives.

People have been setting off some pretty huge fireworks, and Grace is unbothered, so that's fortunate. She does enjoy having a reason to bark.

Prosper Portland AND the state loaned Cohen’s group money to buy two buildings priced over twice their appraised value with only public money in the deal, no products, no manufacturing equipment, no existing business. WTAF?? Not a good look stewarding taxpayer dollars by Prosper or the Kotek.

So I got a new phone. I went from a 2020 lower end phone to a 2023 higher end phone (Galaxy S23+, unlocked, NIB no warranty gray market from Ebay), and so far, so good. Camera is MUCH better than my old one, which required extensive post processing to look halfway decent. No Macro feature, tho.

Oh hey weird that when these two got caught covered in the media as coordinating something that looks a lot like a money laundering scam they sell all their assets and move away.
