God has a sense of humor and Jeff Sims ain’t laughing

THE GIANT BOWL OF FROSTED FLAKES SPARKS JOY

Please keep Que’Sean Brown in Durham for his entire football career

Coming around to the idea that Kenny Dillingham is a Really Good Head Football Coach for making chicken salad out of this outfit over and over again. Unclear if this is even replicable for him outside of his alma mater, however.

GIVE IT TO DUKE YES

HELL YEAH SHEPPARD

I’m not going to hand it to her, but Tina Kotek should hit up every journalist in Oregon and declare victory

El Paso is the rare bowl city built to handle this chaos

🗞 In the new issue of Street Roots: Six months of data showing every instance between January and June 2025 in which workers through the city’s Impact Reduction Program took the homes or belongings of people living outdoors. Purchase this week's issue: streetroots.org/vendors#locate

Exiting 2025 with a chippy Sun Bowl (and lots of points

Work laptop fired up, Sun Bowl on in the background. Great way to spend New Year’s Eve hahaha

What’s it like covering the Lakers and Clippers on the same day… without a car in LA? #journalism #sportsmedia #publictransportation #losangeles

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Good thing this won’t happen in Portland because Multnomah County government hasn’t fully set Preschool for All up yet. 4-D chess by JVP here.

I just want to know of what these guys think of the gay hockey movie.

My dream is to be a college football coach and make 15 million dollars a year to yell at 19 year olds that they need to take the Bisquick Pancake & Baking Mix Bowl more seriously. My wife has a severe haircut, I cheat on her with several women named “Applebee’s Tami”

We are going to be hearing about how this guy once played college basketball for a long time

All I want for Christmas is this.

Yeah, I’m more than a little salty that, as a former Keizer City Councilor, I pushed for a comprehensive sidewalk program and everyone in power told me, “No, we can’t do it, it’ll cost too much and your plan won’t work.” I voluntarily give up power, et voilá www.keizertimes.com/2025/12/23/c...

Merry Christmas to everyone (except trolley fans) Lake Oswego is trying to redevelop the Foothills District again — but isn't considering extending street car service That's what killed the last planning effort in 2013 There will be a big opportunity once the old sewage treatment plant is demo'd

RETVRN

There's a much better chance someone in this administration would sexually assault my child than anyone they sent to CECOT

Please enjoy once again the college football comment of the year 🏆

Heated Rivalry (2025)

If Tina Kotek wants to show she cares about law and order, she will direct OSP to arrest Greg Smith and his wife for defrauding the people of Oregon repeatedly Alex, Les Zaitz and others have done excellent work for many years in reporting on Smith that has been summarily ignored by anyone in power

Taxes on gambling losses? Student loan garnishments? White men aged 18-35 about to have a terrible 2026

Folks have also asked, “Is Elvis Grbac the sexiest man alive?”

Any journalist who has not at least once committed reckless disregard of leadership is not to be trusted.

I feel for Damon Wilson II and his family here but this was going to happen at some point so the royal we might as well litigate this expeditiously to set some real ground rules.

This is postmarked 2019

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

while you can: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6...

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The Same Dozen People, All the Time, Everywhere, Forever threatens to swallow discourse whole in 2026

December 22, 2025: The day college football coaches threw their hands up and formally declared, “We are out of ideas.”

Next-level commitment LOL

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

I vehemently disagree with the critics on the premise of no business case existing for cargo container traffic to Coos Bay. Climate change is pushing Americans ever further north and west, and “too much port capacity” is not a thing right now in the PNW. www.wweek.com/news/2025/12...

Coming soon to Oregon if Christine Drazan gets her way

my latest is on the odd confluence of unitary executive theory with a president who is mostly AWOL from the business of governance (gift link)

This is a correct opinion

if capital can't justify the operating costs of a newspaper in every city over a few hundred thousand people (even though this worked profitably for decades) i think it's up to the federal government to fund them and if red states don't like a bunch of big city libs reporting on them, all the better

If you can believe it, January 1, 2026 marks ten years since the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. For Portland Monthly, I wrote about how the ensuing decade was dominated by anxious men and a culture of lawlessness. www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-cit...

If you are in the area and seeing this. Leave. Take your pets, your family, tell your neighbors, and make sure the have a way out. And go.

I see today is the unofficial QB transfer day in the portal

Thanks to this highly informative piece, I went down the rabbit hole and learned about Zhang Ziyu. Oh. My. God. You’re building your team around either stopping her or acquiring her.

Kirby Moore is a legit amazing hire for Washington State. Cougs did it again
