Noa has found like 50 great stories from this Celtics season and this might be my favorite.

I love being downtown. Don't get me wrong, I hate leaving my house, but once I'm here, it's great. I chatted with the pizza window guy and a random stranger about the weather and then a skateboarder asked for directions as he rolled by. Live in a city! People are nice, actually! #pdx

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

I ate half a pastry that was too rich and I don't think I'm going to survive the morning. Please build a foundation in my memory and dedicate it to encouraging bakeries to make one-bite pastries for middle-aged people.

What do I want (to make)? Squids! When do I want to make them? Squids!

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

Spring is Ultramarathon documentary season & there's a lifetime's worth of work for a therapist who sets up at an aid station in the middle of one of these races. It feels like ultra runners would rather ruin their knees & kidneys than go to therapy, so I think therapy's gonna have to come to them.

Spring break is over and my kid is back in school, which means we don't get to have lunch together. Sad news! Is lunch with a 14 year old often just sitting at the table with him while he watches endless short-form videos? Yes. But at least I get to see his face!

Friends, we're downtown, it's beautiful out, there's live music and spirits are high. Everything, all of this, is worth fighting for. What a wonderful city, what wonderful neighbors! #pdx #nokings

Facebook has been desperately notifying me of the same post from the same friend repeatedly today... Is someone at Facebook trying to send a hidden message? Is that message "Chicago looks cool and fun" because that's the one I'm getting.

We're watching the LeBron of politics of his generation.

We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

I can't recommend taking the bus highly enough. What a beautiful city! I'm downtown, I'm in the forest, I'm in the combination city center/urban forest. #trimet #pdx

I've seen like 147 articles entitled "is the science in Project Hail Mary accurate?" The plot involves the whole world coming together and trusting scientific experts and evidence to save us. That's a political question, and taking a look at how we're responding to climate change and such...

We met one of our neighbors today and he asked one of the best questions you can be asked in Portland: "Do you like salmon? Cause I love to fish." 🤩

James Patterson: hi i'm james patterson Patterson: you might remember me from such book as 'Dial D for Danger' and 'In the Realm of the Electric Medusas' Patterson: today I've got an even more exciting story for you Patterson: i'm teaming up with Mr Beast King: Poe: Barker: Koontz: Lovecraft:

My kid has a stomach bug and it's just the worst thing as a parent to see your kid miserable, in pain, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. I love him so much; I wish I could set everything right! He's such a trooper and he'll be fine, but god, stomach bugs suck!

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

Made the mistake of being outside today. Walked past a beautiful magnolia tree. My allergies are now off the charts. I hate spring.

BLUMENTHAL: What about Renee Good? You were asked whether you believed her shooting was justified, and you replied, 'absolutely.' Do you regret that statement? MARKWAYNE MULLIN: It's very clear an officer had to make a split decision as the car was running toward him and did strike him

Just saw an ad for moisture wicking underwear, which seems like a good idea. "Wicks the moisture away!" the ad says. "To where?" I ask, but the ad doesn't say. It's gotta go somewhere and it's not evaporating under a layer of jeans, so is it actually moisture transporting (to your pants) underwear?

I thought I heard a sort of distant explosion (or, more likely, something heavy falling over a block away?) about 20-30 minutes ago and heard sirens just now. I need a Merlin app for identifying weird neighborhood noises after dark. #pdx #swpdx

Me at 15 with a large slice of cake: I love cake! After the slice of cake: I wonder if I can have seconds... Me at 45 with a large slice of cake: I love cake! After eating two bites more than half the slice: ugh, I feel terrible. Only death can save me now. 💀💀💀

Free floating anxiety is the worst. Especially in a world where there's so much to be anxious about. I've got more than enough real anxiety - what does it think it's adding?

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

Meanwhile, in Vermont… People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it? #Vermont #ICE #SouthBurlington

From a thread about great Douglas Adams quotes. I think about this one *a lot* these days.

I am, once again, sick. What is with this winter? I slept until 11 and I'm already tired again.

??? why is RFK Jr. going to the doctor for a surgery when he could simply eat a variety of weird meats at his injury

Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.

I don't suppose that there's some sort of...context...for this.

What a lovely day! I remembered chores and did them, picked up prescriptions, visited two comic book stores, got ice cream with my family... Sometimes life is pretty exceptional.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I held a thought in my head from when I woke up to walking all the way downstairs without forgetting and then did the minor associated chore - Saturday is already a success!

At times like these it always helps to read some William Butler Yeats

Why is every shirt I've bought in the last two years so short? They never look short in the ad. I have a short torso and it's too much, who is this for?

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

What in the AI is going on in this picture on the Michael's website? I guess they aren't kidding about these kits being incraftable.

Okay, the rest of my walk was fine. It's a beautiful day, there were so many birds happily chirping away, and I came across these happy little fellows.

Walking home from the bus stop, already out of breath after two blocks. I'm gonna be a real whiner on the death march to the gulag.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

I've periodically been testing LLM tools for legal work. With the sole exception of Westlaw's ai search and 50 state survey tools, everything I've tested still costs time compared with baseline. And even the two exceptions save time only because I'm using them in limited ways.
