Portland, you make me proud to live here.

Finally a film brave enough to ask: is corn grass? (But they do NOT answer yes or no.) An all-time classic @rifftrax.com short www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC4z...

I needed to see this little brown creeper scooting up and down a tree today. Perhaps you do, too!

Randall Park and Ali Wong are a delight in Always Be My Maybe, and then Keanu comes in to play an over-the-top version of himself. A favorite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHBc...

Blue Caped-Frog's Thesis

Tonight on #MST3K Forever-a-Thon, we're really early into RADAR SECRET SERVICE, one of my favorite experiments. With Hypno-Helio-Static-Stasis. Containing X-4! An extremely rare, extremely scientific, form of subliminal poopie. But, a little trainwreck of a short called "Last Clear Chance"

Take some time to watch a favorite show and whatnot. Mr George Wallace has this advice for you and he's one of the best to ever do it!

Alex is right. Our credit scores went down the instant we paid off our car. Me: "WE ARE BEING RESPONSIBLE WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING US?!?" Experian, et al.: "You should be responsible, just don't be TOO responsible. We don't like that."

One of my favorite classes in college was a dual author course on Oscar Wilde and Woody Allen. (Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest is still one of my favorite plays ever.) One of the standout films in that class was Love and Death from 1975, where Diane Keaton is GREAT. I miss her already.

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

Get your box of tissues, b/c all your holes are going to leak when you hear this tale of woe. Thank you @alicefraser.bsky.social & @podchris.bsky.social for making art and trying to share it. Love the book, sorry about capitalism, can’t wait for your next adventure shows.acast.com/6786518e3cee...

If somebody asks me what it's like to battle life-long depression, I will show them this video and then ask them to stretch it out for years. And you don't even get to eat the shrimp. #WorldMentalHealthDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR3Y...

Gordon ramsey: you fucking DONKEY. What did I tell you? Chef: You said you've got to... pay the cheese tax every time you're um cooking Ramsey: so why did this fucking puppy come looking?! Chef: I forgot to- Ramsey: jesus christ this bastard forgot to pay the cheese tax

Portland protest takes many forms. I think it's great people love the inflatable animal costumes, but they're sleeping on the folks who've been protesting in bathrobes while eating donuts, drinking coffee, and doing the crossword.

This thread is absolutely amazing and I could really use a bagel right now. Thank you for this gift, @erinbiba.bsky.social

PUBLIC AWARENESS IS GROWING AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TADPOLLING

it's not FOR us

It is finally time for somebody to say CITIZEN KANE is a good movie: defector.com/breaking-som...

Loved the @rhysiedarby.bsky.social show tonight, “high reach” has entered our vocabulary around the house permanently now. Thanks to you and Steve for finishing your tour in Portland, obviously we love you here!

Love it when they invite my favorite city councilor onto the TV www.tiktok.com/@counciloran...

Gamera FC is really neat Gamera FC is full of meat We've been watching GAMERA calyxdesign.com/calyxworks/g...

this sucks ass, man. every day is such a huge bummer now. can somebody deal with the problems please

Tell me you have lived under a rock your entire life without telling me you've lived under a rock your entire life. Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool?! What is happening, why do I smell toast?

I am going to a comedy show tonight so I'll miss the live premiere. But I know what I'm watching when we get home!

You can't do much better than the one for Night Court. (There's an episode of Judge John Hodgman where they break out into an impromptu rendition of it, and it's so great.) Bah dumdum dum dum dumdumdum (doot doot) youtu.be/tUltrX-ICew?...

My weltschmerz is to the point where every day feels like Monday. What fresh hell awaits today?

lmao this rules

So I should feel really safe when the White House is openly talking about summary executions of citizens, I guess? He's been in office for a mere 261 days and we're already here.

That's definitely something I worry about on my commute to work. Driving through the burned-out husk of a city and dodging hellfire. I mean check it out for yourself, the wide-awake nightmare that is the city we live in: isportlandburning.com

And there was much rejoicing!

Wait... WHAT? People are not well these days, but I do wonder if giving everyone a "yes, and..." robot that agrees to their wildest impulses is a good idea. Then again we've also somehow decided instant gambling on anything is a must-have for society. What IS a good idea anyway?

The Pikmin fans freaking out about this yesterday were right, though I am very confused what this means for the lore. In the early games, the planet you land on has human artifacts but there were no people. I think maybe I liked it better as a mystery?

I really thought yesterday should have been Thursday, I am exhausted by everything right now. Perhaps I deserve a little treat. We all do.

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

It established canon in The Orville that Dolly Parton's music is the anthem of all freedom-loving species everywhere. (This is in addition to her giving away millions of books to children and personally funding the development of a COVID vaccine.) We love you, Dolly.

I have no idea how many times I've watched this, but it's a lot. (The version of "Insomnia" is so good) youtu.be/xs3BXVTF7mw?...

OK we can stop taking pictures of cars now. The best one has been taken.

wake up babe new generational James Joyce exhibition just dropped

How much of the adrenochrome stuff was some dipshit filing off the serial numbers of the plot to the Dolph Lundgren classic I COME IN PEACE from back in the 90s?

So Dr Oz is lamenting that old people aren't working enough for his tastes, either. This administration's singular vision for the future is that we all work in the mines for trillionaires. I am not interested in delving too greedily or too deep. You want Balrogs? That's how you get Balrogs!

Currently in the drive through behind a sweet af Mitsubishi Delica with a bumper sticker reading, “Save the planet, drive a shitbox.” We don’t need the Texas National Guard here, unless they want to drink a lot of IPAs. #WarRavagedPortland

Bari Weiss becoming head of the news division at CBS does not just tarnish the legacy of Murrow and Cronkite, it tarnishes the legacy of fucking Hee Haw.

Fighting to keep Jesse Singal on here, but banning Palestinians, and trans people and people like Link (over Charlie Kirk of all things) and also mocking users who challenge their choices is an interesting choice for Bluesky's CEO/engineers. Anyway, unban Link.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

Tonight's #MST3K while folding laundry: "The Indestructible Man." "I'm indestructible but I still hurt inside!"

This is such a great idea, I have bags of stuff I keep meaning to shred but never find the time.

OK so Mars First Logistics has the juice! It's 2am and I'm telling myself "one more contract." (Not wild about the name, it's a little too fiddly sometimes, but I spent so much time this evening making increasingly spindly rovers to move an awkward large thing 20 kilometers across rugged terrain.)
