Not great for Alaska Airlines. Maybe they'll pursue Gatwick? www.enginecowl.com/alaska-airli...

😲 CONFIRMED: “an Avelo ICE flight declared an emergency when the cabin lost pressure, according to air traffic control transmissions. The plane made a rapid descent and landed safely. Of 88 people on board, six were injured…” From: @gbrockell.bsky.social prospect.org/2025/11/17/i...

This person stopped about five cars back from a red light in the middle of the bike lane to look at their phone. Before stopping they had been swirving in and out of the bike lane for about a half mile. Broadway just west of 21st.

We've gutted the government so much that we are now getting our economic data from.... *checks notes* DoorDash

Maybe I just having buying enough cameras but the Sony RX1R III being $5k is similar to what I paid for Canon's 5D Mark IV back when it was new, even adjusting for inflation. Is the Sony price just markup? Demand? Or greed?

As the article says, the cloud is just someone else's computer. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

My son Seamus died 15 years ago today. He was killed by a careless driver in a crosswalk. He walked at 9 months, almost as if he knew he wouldn’t have much time. His favorite thing to do was throw rocks into water. He loved the moon. He called butterflies “buddy buddies.” I miss him every day.

Maybe we need a test before people are allowed to board a plane.

So who's holding who hostage?

Remember when PDX had a barbershop.

@flightradar24.com is there something off in the latest iOS build? Selecting a flight looks something like this.

It should be noted the crosswind runway was closed for chunks of the terminal construction so that contributes to the low utilization stats.

PDX really does have a love for Delta. They're the focus for the SAF program, which I didn't realize.

I put our ballots in the mail yesterday but never received the notification that they were accepted. Anyone else in Portland have this issue for this election?

Evening bike ride with an amazing sunset.

An update I haven’t added yet is that the Alaska partnership with Korean is ending: www.koreanair.com/contents/foo...

I honestly didn’t realize this was happening today. Went to Seatguru looking for reviews of a seat, got redirected, couldn’t find anything on TripAdvisor and gave up.

I honestly have no idea how this gets fixed. www.wweek.com/news/schools...

The US Government will disallow operations of a dozen existing and soon-to-be-launched routes from Mexico and proposes termination of belly cargo services to/from MEX in an escalation of the ongoing aviation battle between the two countries. paxex.aero/us-governmen...

So much for LinkedIn being a place of refuge.

I checked up on the bikeways, got splashed by a driver, accidentally scared someone, shared rain gear reviews, offered tips and theories, stopped at Migration Brewing for a pint, and basked in the glow of Portland's amazing fall colors. bikeportland.org/2025/10/28/v...

Well this will keep me from buying the Airpod Pro 3s until it's fixed. basicappleguy.com/basicapplebl...

Our volunteer run, neighborhood coffee shop is giving away breakfast to anyone who needs it, no questions asked starting November 1. You can donate or you could just go buy coffee from them to show you support ‘em. #portland www.instagram.com/p/DQQOlszjwW...

Maybe with inflation they're just throwing them in the water and making a wish. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Tell me you landed on 9L without telling me you landed on 9L.

Want a lot of engagement on Threads? Suggest that the at gate security at Singapore-Changi has downsides. Holy crap.

I just want a reporter to ask, “you sound like a petulant child, why is that?”

I’m dumbfounded as to why the governor and Port are so dead set on Korean/Delta starting PDX service. Delta’s track record with the hostage taking of PDX-NRT service shouldn’t be forgotten. There are other airlines. Court JAL. Court ANA. apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsr...

Just a reminder that Constantine declared Rome a “Christian Empire” and it ceased to exist less than 100 years later.

Yeesh. The hot takes keep getting worse.

Sequencing into PDX during the evening arrivals is getting a bit wild.

Cappuccino this morning with my friend @stephan.wtf at Keeper Coffee in Portland.

So what is the best Spotify alternative? I was a huge Rdio fan because of the way it dynamically built a playlist from a song I liked or disliked. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It’s now confirmed, it was a weather balloon that struck the United Denver to LAX flight. #UA1093 arstechnica.com/space/2025/1...

Alaska Airlines to launch new routes from Portland (PDX): • PDX to Baltimore (BWI) • PDX to Philadelphia (PHL) • PDX to St. Louis (STL) • PDX to Idaho Falls (IDA)

Theory that the United flight with the cracked windscreen hit a weather balloon.

Bought a pound of 90/10 ground beef yesterday at Fred Meyer (our Kroger) for $10.65. Absolutely insane.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky. Block on sight. Protect your digital space. Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them. The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

I’ve been looking for luggage that has a stage free telescopic handle. Basically it doesn’t have defined stops/heights for the handle, you can get it precisely where you want it. Any luggage come to mind? I have it on my Rimowa but are there any other options that have that feature?
