I have such a “nothing gold can stay” attitude about summer blockbusters. I was actually very pleased to hear Dom liked this.

FILM REVIEW: Christopher Nolan's latest movie is a a three-hour adaptation of a nearly 3,000-year-old epic by the ancient Greek poet Homer. Does The Odyssey live up to the hype?

I cautiously approve of Vancouver Washington rebranding as “Vancouver USA”

Found out last night I got first place in arts criticism (the Jim Ridley award) from AAN for my work at the @portlandmercury.com aan.org/aan/announci... (couldn't have done it w/out my editor @suzettesmith.bsky.social and congrats to fellow PDXers, 2nd and 3rd @chancesp.bsky.social and Nolan Parker)

💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 @sinacolad.bsky.social

Best part: You can now search the posts of people you follow!!

A celebration of life for @zane.bsky.social.

oh my god Zane

What I really want is that photo from last halloween of Zane wearing a ghost costume (death of print media) to a press conference.

A still from his December 2025 interview for the film:

His colleagues, family, friends and sources remember Zane Sparling as a talented reporter with a flair for language and an offbeat sense of humor that kept the job light even on days the work — and his health — were bleak. Read more at theoregonian.visitlink.me/QxR5KI

Awful news this morning — one of Oregon's best reporters has passed away, all too young. His absence will be felt by the media and by the public at large. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

What if Robin Hood but he's, like, really fucked up. I reviewed THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD for @portlandmercury.com

I mean, even if this really is a call from the government it's most certainly a scam.

Is there a book that is both good and that contains primarily nice things in its subject matter.

A 33 1/3 but just about how Steve Inskeep speaks.

I tried to link the video at the correct part, but if it doesn't work: 30 second mark. Incredible interaction m.youtube.com/watch?v=wESh...

In the US you should be able to lay down and sleep wherever you want—completely undisturbed!—as long as you place a big cowboy hat over your eyes in a way that suggests "not now pardner"

Personally, I do not recommend El Topo.

I could tell it came from something I said because no one else in the office uses party as a gerund.

Get someone to love you like Jon Caramanica loves Drake's “Make Them Remember.”

A toast to all my people enjoying this fine sea bean season.

Admire @andrewjank.bsky.social breaking down a very dense series of installations and programming. Oregon Contemporary’s Artists’ Biennial is underway and happening at a number of Portland locations through July 4!

Whoa! Bittersweet news that I got nominated for an AAN award in LGBTQ+ Coverage for the Portland's Finest Drag Artists issue of @wweek.com. I loved that issue and hope they bring it back: aan.org/aan/announci...

Multnomah County Elections texting me about my ballot, like... it's in your inbox bestie

Hell yes @sinacolad.bsky.social excited for you to win this! aan.org/aan/announci...

Whitehouse .gov has too many pop-ups.

Panic opened up more Big Walk preview slots. If you live in Portland (or will be in Portland between May 20-June 14), you can go play the game in their offices. forms.panic.com/big-walk-pre...

What if every vision of the future, seen by a prophet, was actually just a vision of a prestige TV series? How would they know the difference? How could we expect them to know the difference?

New British insults just dropped

Blue Heron is not a reenactment of Sophy Romvari’s childhood. But it tells the tale of a family that resembles her own and that of a director piecing together old camcorder footage, trying to uncover circumstances she was too young to understand at the time. @sinacolad.bsky.social reviews goodly.

Here's a thread of the records released in April that I enjoyed: Bringers of Disease: SULPHUR (Disorder Recordings) bringersofdiseaseoh.bandcamp.com/album/sulphur

503 Day is a totally real holiday (at least since 2025). What started as a joke by City Cast Portland has transformed into a block party celebrating all things Portland. This year's festivities will include Karaoke From Hell, a beer garden, and a variety show.

Love someone the way Van Gogh loved his postman and his postman's beard

They think you're stupid.

On Saturday, Portlanders gathered to say "so long" to TriMet's MAX Type 1 trains which are being retired after 40 years of service and two million miles of travel. Joe Streckert was there and provides a brief history of the train that moved Portlanders for decades.

On Robert Smith's 67th birthday it is only fitting that we admire these automatically generated Google question-things about the respected Cure figurehead

Hey guys check this out

Finally saw one of those goofy new mail trucks in the wild! I don't usually get starstruck, but...

The Lloyd Center will close for good on August 8th www.bizjournals.com/portland/new...

FYI if this provides some stupid useful color for elections. There is a flower called “annual honesty,” and it is currently in bloom.

This @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social ep starts out with a Q about fake online obituaries that populate wildly after someone dies and by the end we're deep in the forgotten problem of online marketing platforms funding fake news and extremism sites.

Clackamas County really living up to the "they're the same picture" meme on this one.

Sometimes when I think about how professional sports has so much money it can hire PR firms to send me emails about Portland having the "cheapest home watch party snacks in the Northwest division…" I just feel so angry at everyone involved.

Justin Hocking’s first full-length memoir, The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld, won the 2015 Oregon Book Award for creative nonfiction, and now his second is in competition for the 2026 prize.

The elk is still facing the wrong way you cowards

A headline of "Scooter Rider Deceased After Crash in March in the Kerns Neighborhood" when it's actually because a car hit them while making an illegal U-turn

Me rn

When you put punctuation at the end of your project name it’s such a punishment for anyone trying to write about it.

You think you have it hard? I know which theaters in town are REs and which are ERs
