Here's a great tattoo'in for Pterry's Birthday; hand crafted in Pape'ete. Ironically, the Discworld has no equator for sailors to commemorate crossing

It's an embarrassment to the Institute that a Caltech alum would attempt something so incapable of success

Perfectly Portland weather for a visit to the Japanese garden with my sister

From the river to the sea is 60 f-ing km. It can be walked in a day. What a pitiful excuse for genocide

Wishing a happy bicycle day to all who celebrate

A beautiful morning in South PDX. If you look closely enough, you cannot see four astronauts just aft of the mast, caught in the shrouds and lazy jacks

A beautiful spring day in PDX, from the St John's bridge, heading out for a little biking on Sauvie Island

"...all Treaties ... shall be the supreme Law of the Land" goes with: " I do solemnly swear ... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." A president does not have the authority to withdraw from a ratified treaty such as NATO.

Love and best wishes to all my nieces and/or nephews

Send ICE to Lebanon; let them stop the violent war criminals coming over that southern border

A beautiful day for no kings

Spring has sprung in PDX

Florida (recently) allows even 34-time convicted felons to vote, providing they have served their sentence and paid their fines. The Donald has no sentence or fines for his felonies. His unpaid restitution for rape is NOT a felony penalty.

Daffodils spring up in the banks of the Willamette

It's been a few months of trickle until the DOJ decided they could release child abuse allegations that the FBI found credible enough for multiple interviews. It's only a bunch worse than civil liability for rape. At this rate we'll see CSAM video starring the Donald before the midterms 🤮

A nice day out on the Willamette. Oregon now requires paddlers to have a permit, which can be stored on your phone. Phone compatibility with paddling was not part of the legislative process

TBGO and the Portland Ropers warming up for Mardi Gras parade. The crowd was better than ever this year

Moons over Milwaukie

In China, an epic blackout was reportedly caused by a pig flying on a drone, after a farmer tried to transport it across mountainous terrain but hit power lines. We finally know when the Singularity arrives: when pigs fly. (Courtesy of dr AWG)

Pretty calm for a February day on the Oregon coast

Is it cool air and warm river or vice versa?

Pioneer Courthouse Square with crows and light rail

Dave Grohl, from the Foo Fighters, brings a little boy up on stage, asks him what song he knows on guitar, and he starts playing “Enter Sandman”. The crowd goes wild.😎💙😎💙😎

Hilton Hotels just refused to house ICE thugs. I have a new preferred provider!

Bribery is still a crime in all 50 states; even the federal standard of explicit quid pro quo may have been met by the Donald's campaign request for a billion dollars from oil companies

Lest we forget, Epstein's island is twice as close to Venezuela (500 mi) as it is to Mar a Lago (1,000 mi)

So now Murica can hold foreign presidents accountable for breaking American laws, but not our own??

So here's something that could explain why the Donald is so motivated to hide his past actions: www.justice.gov/epstein/file... How I long for the quaint "pee tape" kompromat!

Good morning, Bluesky! On this day, #ChristmasEve in 1968: "Earthrise" as Apollo 8 orbited the Moon 📸NASA

The Willamette is still a few feet below flood action level here in Portland, but the river is full of logs... And a dumpster

"Trump likes to show his power" - Wolff So you call the twenty most powerful people in the executive branch into a room, and your idea of preparation for a good meeting is to be so sleep deprived that they're talking to your snoring face

Couple dozen people protesting Zionism at Lafayette Park. Police came out with more cars than people, more horses than signs. One sign said "ICE out of NOLA". For my convenience, right next to my hotel, with a small band

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man, floating down Canal. It doesn't have numbers or moving hands; it always just says...

Temp in the forties, twenty knot winds. This was NOT in the forecast

Between the delicious Cajun catfish sandwich and the steampunk Zeppelin, my expectations are far exceeded

My first trip on the empire builder, crossing the Columbia

I'm confused. Coverage assumes the discharge petition will result in a bill. The House has subpoena power without getting a bill past the Senate and the Donald's pubic signature

Here's a couple reasons I avoid flying these days: 1. Last week Duffy told commercial airlines to cancel roughly the amount of traffic of private jets, so there would be no inconvenience to rich people 2. The pilot of the Lolita Express was syncing flight times with AF1 when the Donald was on it

There's seagulls on the river; fish are rising up like birds

Marched down with the Vets to PDX ICE, played a couple tunes, and the Vets laid remembrance flowers. The thugs did not come out while I was there

The Donald really did say the US govt should give people the money they need for health care instead of insurance companies. That's what Bernie and Hillary have been asking for since the nineties

Today I'm thinking of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalin... as the last of the men who took credit for her discovery have died.

Dick Cheney Drove for the "unitary executive" Lied us into a war that killed a half million people and left generations of birth defects Lined his pockets with war profiteering Made America torture again Failed to get Bin Laden Pushed for Oil over climate defense Good Riddance

Dem over-performance tonight means that all those newly gerrymandered districts could flip (because to maximize number of seats, they had to thin the margin of expected victory in each district)

No charismatic mayoral race here, just a couple local tax levies

Another hellish Halloween in #warRavagedPortland

The GOP is sticking to its message: "if you can't bribe us, you either die of pestilence or famine". War will soon be an option too, it appears

Celebrating democracy and Leonard Cohen in #warRavagedPortland

A couple of eagles checking out housing options in #warRavagedPortland
