Wow, Portland Book Festival is so sold out that you can't buy tickets at the door on Sat.

DJ City Council and they all DJ

A new nonfiction history, Let My Country Awake, explores the complexity of Indian resistance against the British Empire during World War I.

Josh Gondelman at Helium entered the gauntlet of NYE activities with a lot of strength until I realized that there are in fact two shows and I don't get both a cheese board AND a dessert.

The worst part about that awful “Meet Me in the Bathroom” doc was letting this guy talk so much.

Train Dreams is very plainly one of the most beautiful films of the year. @sinacolad.bsky.social recommends seeing it in a theater, preferably in the Pacific Northwest.

A very fine first Black Eyes album in 20 years to you. blackeyes.bandcamp.com/album/hostil...

Contagion but it’s a ragtag group of fiscal hotshots trying to make SNAP partial payments on the federal government's presumably MS DOS network.

•There was a time when a three-hour standoff IN THE WAVES of Siletz Bay would have been a major Good Morning, News story. Alas. • The Mayor says he's enforcing the camping ban! •And then he put the city's Housing Bureau director on leave! • It's Good Morning, News!

this show is gonna fucking rip if you’re in portland on november 14th, and we are super stoked to open. would legitimately recommend getting tickets in advance, it’s apparently selling quick.

I reviewed the new one from professional weirdo Yorgos Lanthimos.

Behind the corn, there's more corn! And then there's catchy songs and an abundance of jokes. @ihavequalities.bsky.social reviews the touring Broadway show 'Shucked'

If you are a Portland drag queen and you would like to explain what baseball people are talking about so that I, a fan of drag but not baseball, can understand HMU [email protected] Knowledge of the news column style is a plus, but not 100 percent necessary.

Wipe my memory completely and start from the ground up with a logic system based on whether or not to cap a quote that is an independent clause after a comma.

Should I do Friday's GMN entirely in horny text as a halloween costume? Good Morning, News is already so close to horny text it's possible no one would notice.

Truly Portland to have only one lightning

You leave your pumpkin around me your pumpkin gonna get cooked up

Hey, thanks, Green Apple in San Fran, readers, and @colinwinnette.bsky.social for a great sold out Absolution event tonight! (Thanks to @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social for photos.)

At Cinema 21, from October 24-26, Portland's QDoc Film Festival offers a full-on smorgasbord of cool/cute messes, heartwarming triumphs, and a rare chance to learn more about the origins of house music.

comedians and IDK tim pool etc: flying in for Portland ICE protest! me, aware of what Portland ICE protests are like on a Wednesday: yes queen give him nothing

A new exhibit honoring the life and works of author Ursula K. Le Guin is set to open Oct. 31 at Oregon Contemporary. Read Jenni Moore's rundown of the exhibit, Le Guin's literary impacts, and her own connection to Le Guin as a fellow PNW writer and mother.

It’s so comical, just walking by Scrap and in each window like -a crafty person sifting through baubles -a child drawing while an older person offers ideas -someone diligently lettering something like yea I get it you’re a wholesome community focused reuse center gosh

It's theatre season and I'm back on my review bullshit.

Oregon governor says National Guard remains in ‘limbo’ after court sides with Trump on troop deployment to Portland https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/10/kotek-national-guard-in-limbo-after-court-sides-with-trump.html 

On Saturday, October 18, ICE agents used a barrage of tear gas, stun (flashbang) grenades, and pepper bullets on demonstrators, leaving the neighborhood street in front of their building filled with gas for at least 10 minutes. More on this and the earlier No Kings rally at portlandmercury.com

Hopelessly searching everyone's photos of Portland's #nomorekings looking for that one wonderfully painted "Ew, Donald" sign. I was drawing other things and failed to get a photo or sketch (it was kinda behind me). Leads accepted.

A special heaven for folks in the comments disputing crowd size.

People are dressed up and dancing outside Portland’s ICE facility. It’s raining lightly and there’s lingering tear gas in the air from a recent major gassing and occasional pepper ball deployment.

I am out of South Portland

At the South Portland ICE facility, after pushing back the crowd to let some vehicles leave, agents gassed the street for approximately 10 minutes solid. S Bancroft was opaque with gas; agents also threw flash grenades and shot pepper bullets.

ICE agents at Portland’s ICE facility just rocked S Bancroft with about ten solid minutes of tear gas, pepper bullets, and flash bang grenades.

Protesters at ICE pretty excited about the arrival of Mr. Peanut

It’s raining at the ICE facility in South Portland and agents on the roof put up a tent. It didn’t seem like ICE could still lose the crowd’s respect but it appears they did.

The other face of Portland ICE protests is inflated costume dance parties. And someone handing out balloon swords, saying “ya gotta stay strapped in these streets.”

Just arrived on the scene at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in South Portland. Here less than 10 minutes when agents charged out of the facility and used a pale yellow gas that caused tears and coughing in crowd members. Also shot munitions at those retreating.

saw crowd in portland and my brain just shut down when I tried counting. 50k just downtown maybe? tens of thousands for sure. turnout at no kings in june might have been the biggest action in portland in decades but this one is bigger several times over

This is my Berenstain Bears Distain = to stain, to dishonor Disdain = to hold contempt for something, scorn

• Police informants at Portland's ICE protests • John Bolton says he's being persecuted by Trump, but he's been under investigation since the Biden administration • A Pentagon spokesperson seems to really hate Netlfix! It's Good Morning, News!

Readers keep being like haha how come no one at the Naked Bike Ride went nude? And it's like no, we just can't show you nudity in the image preview because you chose to get your news from a platform that censors butts.

Super funny Q&A with Guy Branum by @elinorjoneser.bsky.social. I never know what she'll ask next.

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands. My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Sometimes I miss the days when everyone around me had an opinion on cantilever brakes.

Sorry folks, AI ruined emoijis for bullet points.

Matt Farley is probably best known as that guy with 26,000 songs on Spotify. But did you know he also makes films? Portlanders have a chance to see Motern Media's latest 'Evil Puddle' at Clinton Street Theater this weekend; @sinacolad.bsky.social explains why that rules.

POV: You’re at the Emergency World Naked Bike Ride in Portland, OR.

ERO/ICE agents crossed the street into the crowd to grab this protester. Agents on the roof shot pepper balls at the crowd.
