In other words, Cozxie has 13 more days to continue to ignore me. Good to know. I’ll put it on my calendar. I’ve written him for months to discuss concerns I have with the Bureau of Emergency Management.

Frogs are great. I'd love to also make this the symbol of resistance in the Rose City. I know the designer from my previous decades as Timbers Army/107ist/Rose City Riveters.

What @mayorkwilson.bsky.social may really be saying: Real “pros” don’t need to organize and wear t-shirts or even testify before council. They wear suits and meet with me and others in private to get what they want. That’s the way decisions are supposed to be made.

Worth sharing.

As a Portlander, far be it from me to throw shade at someone eating exclusively at strip clubs, but still…

Tara don’t agree on everything or share the same worldview on many things. That’s o.k. It helps keep our relationship strong. But there’s no daylight between us on this: This whole “vibe” thing must end. Now.

I describe this article as “WTF Infuriating,” but I helps me accept that the *f**kery the City throws at me and the indifference about it from my councilors (@councilortkl.bsky.social, @councilormorillo.bsky.social, Steve Novick) isn’t personal. It’s simply f**kery and indifference. 1/2

I’m a fourth-generation Swiss-American resident of Mt. Angel (Home of the Oktoberfest). My first May Day memories doing maypole dances. We wore lederhosen and dirndls and performed at places like nursing homes, and when I was in third grade, the state capitol. They were basically field trips. 1/2

Also...May Day (left), Labor Day (right).

My shows seem to be few and far between. This is going to be one of those been-listening-to-for-decades/never-seen-before-until-now.

If things get so bad in this country requiring resistance to be covert and underground, my communication with cells will be WW2 This-is-London-Calling and Radio Free Europe style. 1/2

I assume the King, when addressing Congress, if alluding to the war against Iran, didn’t mention that the Iranian regime came to power in 1979 after it deposed the Shah, who came to power in 1953 after the UK and US intelligence overthrew the Iranian government because of, you know, oil.

Then. Yesterday. Next time.

This (left) from @theguardian.com yesterday reminds me of pics I took (right) visiting Parliament in 2017. #Lordsaredicks

This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

Commentators on @msnowreports.bsky.social , @cnn.com, @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy all say “Kash Patel’s girlfriend” multiple times tonight.

Such insightful commentary on NBC/Peacock during West Ham-Everton today: “Goals can always change games.” Me (to myself): “Duh. That’s the what the game is for. Goals are the goal, you know.” WHU changed the game from 0-0 to 1-0 and then from 1-1 to 2-1. #coyi

The kids are allright.

Attn: @crooked.com. 8/10 Americans haven’t heard of or don’t care about someone you’ve devoted hours of programming to the past two weeks.

This is like going to a bullfight wearing PETA underoos.

I remember Claude Pepper. He was one of the last true New Deal Democrats to serve in Congress. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1934 and was a U.S. Representative when he died in 1989.

ATTN: @donbaldwin.bsky.social Lucky guesses. I also haven’t been following Portland news and other sites much the past five days. This could have been 6/10.

No Che stickets or shirts seen around here.

I dunno, City of Miami. Some things shouldn’t have to be in quotes.

If this conference is any indication, a lot of beautiful people make a lot of money in dental implants.

I dunno, I think fewer 13-19 year-olds having babies is a good thing.

Day three.

It's not a counterpunch, guys. The pope didn't throw a punch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

James Bond and Goldfinger swam here.

Kamala Harris and the Democratic consultant class downplayed democracy, corruption and the Constitution in 2024.

Gülo?

FBI agent Dale Cooper: “Denise, I would assume you're no longer interested in girls.” DEA agent Denise Bryson: “Coop, I may be wearing a dress, but I still pull my panties on one leg at a time, if you know what I mean.” Cooper: “Not really.“

Dear Kaiser Permanente…I prefer you have appointments available for the care I need - including referrals by my primary care physician - rather than offer me a rewards debit card. Thank you.

West Ham’s FA Cup run ends with two stoppage time goals, overtime and a 20 year-old keeper making his debut first team appearance five minutes before a penalty shootout. #coyi

Berg Manor’s lone Trillium.

87 year-old Vietnam veteran during ‘Born in the USA.’ On the other side of me was a 17 year-old girl and her grandmother.

I turned on @opb.org in time to hear “hottest country” and “drill baby, drill” near the end.

The more things change...

Best played five seasons with the NASL Timbers, four with former West Ham teammate Clive Charles. #rctid #coyi

It’s been so long since I’ve been to Regal Lloyd Center that I didn’t know it had an IMAX theater. TBH, I didn’t even know RLC was still open. Yep, Tara and I are doing Project Hail Mary. Just ‘cos. Her idea.

ProTip: Hospital cafeteria food is often decent and cheap. I’m at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California because I didn’t drive by a taqueria for tacos in like 12 miles.

The man who I regarded as a hero for as long I’ve been a man is a rapist. As gutting as this is for me, it’s nothing compared to the women and girls Chavez abused. People who are still alive who allowed this to happen and covered this up deserve to be shamed.

@donbaldwin.bsky.social My first 10/10!

Weep. Resist. Solidarity. #slainte
