Anyone who thinks the US will have free and fair elections in 2028 is deluding themselves. apnews.com/article/domi...

I don’t want to take anything away from Polanco or Raleigh or any of the talented players on the Mariners, but… The reason why Tigers fans had to stay up way after midnight, spending four and a half hours watching their team be eliminated is that God hates Kid Rock.

31 free throws in the 1st quarter. Oof

It’s preseason for the Jumbotron too. #RipCity

DJ O.G One’s playlist tonight contains Taylor’s ode to Travis’s uh

When it matters to Oregonians, it’s in The Guardian. (Yes, I just dunked on two different newspapers at once. IYKYK)

Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hey #kids, without HyperCard & hypertext, the World Wide Web might not exist. Which is why HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Dig into this slice of history and you might even meet James Ensor.

This is a ridiculously informative and fascinating analysis of Hasbro's financials. Must watch if you play Magic... or if you're looking for a stock to short. 👀 youtu.be/sNNqz6qNwOo?...

When I was a young kid watching reruns of Hogan's Heroes, it was very funny that the Nazis were narcissistic clowns and dimwits. The more I learn about actual fascists from both the 20th AND the 21st century, the more on the nose that turns out to be.

Oh shit, I forgot to wake up Green Day!

Interesting (and sad for me) note. Per Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, the "lost" generation was the prior iteration of what we currently call GenX.

One of my biggest personal regrets of 2025 will be finding out about his Seattle site two days late.

Mariners fans, remember to cancel your subscription to ROOT Sports right now before it auto-renews. Root is shutting down in a few months, so next season you'll be subscribing directly via MLB. Here's your link. rootsportsstream.com/billing

I've felt for a couple of years now that the VBs deserved to be way bigger in the US than they have been. There's always room for a weird-but-accessible rock band in popular music and these guys are those guys. youtu.be/XNtboJKYd1A?...

I do want to take a moment to ask Portlanders: Do you have a tryhard in your life? A young, middle-class male who sometimes imagine themselves as some kind of Mr. Robot? Whose sheltered upbringing has perversely lowered their internal barriers to putting others at risk? Talk to them now.

Nothing? Portland Saturday Market catching strays here.

A LOT of PT content is ghostwritten but the high school essay vibe here makes it pretty clear that this is from the OG. Good stuff!

Happy Birthday @terenceonline.bsky.social! Congratulations or sorry that happened with that other birthday today. 🤣

If you see this, post a concert picture you took.

This is wild b/c before this I ONLY knew C. J. Cherryh as a contributor to 'Thieves World' in the 80s. One of my favorite contributors but I was locked into specific authors in those days and didn't pick her up. She's prolific! Had no idea & I will be hitting the library. Melania not useless? huh

Channing Frye’s “snitching” comment to @pablo.show…

G Elliott Morris was low-key one of the best parts of 538 back in the day. He efficiently unpacks here how Disney (& other companies like Target) wind up shooting themselves in the foot for no good reason.

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score www.rottentomatoes.com/m/drop_dead_...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Viagra Boys, Showbox SoDo. Die Spitz opening.

As I was just saying. Music. I would have absolutely danced to this at the blacked-out-loading-dock-turned-all-ages-club.

Outside of computer/IT stuff, I try to keep the social issue content to a bare minimum round here. Basketball, music, nerd hobbies in that order. However I really appreciate the perspective offered here and felt it was worth sharing.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

I still listen to some NPR but for years I've been doing it via RSS feed and among the things I just mark as read without thinking twice are "Speaks to X about Y" when Y != science | arts.

I want the Blazer coaches' suits to be black with red ties and have their names embroidered across the back with a big letter C underneath.

The US Defense Department has done substantial theoretical work on the nature of insurgencies. How they start, evolve, and the various ways they can culminate. I'd love to hear their take on this.

Bill, don’t drag us into your latest bout of hand wringing.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Clippers. I’ve generally enjoyed the energy Steve Ballmer has brought to the league. That said… Pablo Torre has become one of America’s preeminent investigative journalists. Burn them. Burn all the picks. No mercy.

SB Nation Creative Director? Wonder what his thoughts are about how @sbnation.bsky.social razed their California sports blogs to the ground after CA passed that gig worker law?

Steve Blake will always be my guy but go back and watch that 14ast 1st quarter he had. I was a basketball watching noob, a mere larva, and I knew what was happening.

Growing up in Hawaii, there was immense racial diversity but very few black men (or women) who were not active duty military stationed there. That said, these two count and you cannot change my mind. Spent more hours with them than some family.

Dearest @kenwhite.bsky.social, I hope this skeet finds you well. Please enjoy this delicious cup of tea brewed by our beloved Auntie Slapp. I found it delightful and wanted to share. youtu.be/W8ejfkUWB-A?...

This is 100% Blazer content because Humpty Hump appeared in a Damian Lillard Adidas commercial. #RipCity

In case you were wondering how the paid version of ChatGPT is better than the free one.

Always down for some Film Theory so I was hyped... only to get an incorrect example (Identity) and random shade thrown at Love Actually. Srsly? Geebus @npr.org. Gone Girl? Go? HOODWINKED?!?! Can't recommend except to hate-listen & then offer better examples www.npr.org/2025/08/24/n...

Take these off around me or I sweartogod we're both going to end up in some dumbass tiktok where I look stupid and you look hospitalized.

If you have friends in Mississippi who are impacted by this, just tell them to ask the nearest twelve-year old to explain VPNs to them.
