SARAH ASHLEE BARKER WITH THE WALK OFF GAME WINNER FOR THE PORTLAND FIRE FIRST WIN IN FRANCHISE HISTORY!

Fire win, baby!!!!!!

They should let Carla Leite be mayor.

I haven't watched a lot of Portland Fire games, but I've already made a few unpleasant noises when they've attempted some risky crosscourt passes.

It's great how on this company's careers website, when I upload my resume they have some AI tool that adds a bunch of typos. It thinks every plural should be a possessive. Sometimes thought, there really are multiples of something and I just have to say it!

Like, man, it's not a question of trans people wanting our rights to *advance* more quickly. It's a question of not wanting our existing rights to *erode*.

The thing that frustrates me the most about Barney Frank's current media tour is that a.) in every single appearance, he takes a shot at trans people, and b.) he fundamentally misunderstands what's been happening on the issue of trans rights, generally.

Huh!

We could be rapidly putting up social housing, rent buy downs, etc and instead this is what we’re doing. This city has the potential to do so much good. It hurts to see where we’re not.

We’re funding Urban Alchemy, set up by the Wheeler/ Sam Adams administration, where unhoused women are getting raped. When people are resistant going into those spaces that’s why. katu.com/news/local/s...

Man, seeing Mamdani hold slumlords accountable makes me wish we had a socialist Mayor. The sad reality is that the executive branch can cut through red tape like that in a way the council can’t, but we’re using that power to…test out overnight shelters that have already been proven not to work.

found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there

Huh!

I want people to remember this story—and numerous others across a slew of states—when they complain about 'red states voting against their interests,' the problem here is voter suppression, from redistricting to barriers to voter registration to making it as hard as possible to vote.

Can't help but laugh at RFK telling me all the things I already know about SSRIs like this is some secret the medical establishment doesn't want me to know. Yeah buddy, it has side effects. It also has the effect of keeping me alive and able to leave my house. I've done the math.

Shout out to the time I saw Hassan Whiteside get a boards-blocks double-double but only scored 9 points.

One more example of a mode of life once outside the reach of the state—previously able to set its own standards, for good or ill ends (plenty of good, and lots of bad throughout history)—being pulled into the state’s domain and then subsequently bullied for capricious and morally repugnant reasons

If you didn’t know. The DOJ has been claiming it is investigating fraud in order to get its hands on the full medical records of trans kids and target care providers.

Gen Z has rediscovered the X-files & is realizing how dystopian the America of today is compared to the 90s "Watching The X-Files... has solidified my belief that I would never have a three way bubble bath phone call with my boss and my coworker. Also, I wish I could call my boss 'Skinman'"

Everyone agrees!

Wow check that timeline synchronicity

I think after Aprhill I'm going to be celebrating Boormayn.

Live video of a CEO putting A.I. technology to good use at his high-pressure job

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

Wrote entire books about how people who believe fairies live in gardens are idiots only to fall in love with a calculator that calls him smart

The Walter Hill movies I watched during Aprhill, ranked: (1) Southern Comfort (2) Extreme Prejudice (3) Red Heat (4) Supernova

and then laundered as important voices through the "legitimate" media platforms those same billionaire pedos have captured

Last day of work! Someone please hire me, but like in a month or so.

Essentially Google and a few other big tech companies have made fantastic profits but the consequence is we have destroyed the existence of the free press as an institution capable of being a check on power and corruption, leading us inexorably into fascism and oligarchy. So, pluses and minuses.

"Why are all the journalists laid off now" this is why. Pretty simple.

"Everything is a negotiation," Rob a much better politician than any of our elected state or city officials.

Regardless of what else the team does in the summer, they gotta bring back Rob. Keep him a Trail Blazer as long as he's in the NBA.

I really fucking hate Tom Dundon, and every one of our elected officials who just can't wait to give him our money while we cut bus service, while more and more people are unhoused every day in this city.

And of COURSE one of them is Dan Ryan

that’s right @govpritzker.illinois.gov do it

*Mark E. Smith voice* "We are Louis Oosthuizen's Southern Guards-ah G. C."

Oooh baby

Learned today that @wyden.senate.gov voted to confirm John Roberts. What's even the point of Democrats?

Huh!

They really are www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP4y... bsky.app/profile/allh...

dems are basically the other grocery store in that mr show fairsley sketch

At least I can watch the rest of the playoffs without getting angry

And fuck Chris Dudley for making me watch his bullshit fucking commercial

Basketball sucks. #RipCity

Today in History: Benito Mussolini executed

Huh!

Only Adam Silver could reverse engineer an 'anti-tanking plan' that incentives the top half of the league to tank to the 7th seed

Boy that Keith Jarrett really can tickle the ole ivories, can't he?
