This is gonna be great

Assuming Christine Drazan is a part of this walkout by Oregon Republicans, real curious how she threads that needle in her gubernatorial campaign messaging

TEN MORE DAYS

As an aside, I’ve been a sports fan my whole life, but sports can be a pretty homophobic and transphobic place. Having a large sports content creator like Jon Bois who stands ten toes down for trans rights is something I am incredibly grateful for and will never take for granted.

Conservatives in Oregon, especially Salem, do not believe in rehabilitation. If you go to prison, you must be a criminal, because that is your identity, and criminals cannot participate in society. They don’t believe it should be possible for Kyle Hedquist to exist, so they turn society against him.

Oregon Republicans think you’re stupid and beneath contempt

RIP. I watched Titicut Follies in college and it was astounding. I recall parts of it often when I read about the crises mentally ill and unhoused folks face daily.

I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own. I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history. 1 square = 1 year.

four non blondes

I and a couple others have attempted to intervene many times with a guy I’ve known for 20+ years. Crippling sports betting addiction, loves daily parlays. Mentally never recovered from a bitter divorce; shares custody of 2 kids. Went from politically reachable to heavy MAGA post-divorce.

Show every Republican who tries to make any point about education these charts. Rage-inducing

If the romance isn’t like this I don’t even WANT it

*TRUMP: WE'RE NEGOTIATING RIGHT NOW FOR GREENLAND *ADDS: GREENLAND WILLING TO “EXILE” BJORK. “VERY NASTY TO ME” AT 1988 GRAMMYS *GREENLAND PM NEILSEN ON LIVE MIC: “SHE’S ICELANDIC FOR FUC—“

Don’t hate the player, hate the game

Congratulations to my longtime collaborator Bad Bunny on his Super Bowl halftime show. (I only told this joke like this one time I think, and I just found the video this morning.)

If she’s available I think you have to take Flau’jae. Sell the tickets!

Hey Oregonians, the Oregon Humane Society just got SLAMMED with over a dozen animals seized from an ongoing neglect case, this is an ideal time to throw them a couple bucks or even better, see about adding a new buddy like Bagel to your family

Between this dude and the French klepto biathlete, we as a world must ask: are our cross-country skiers with rifles OK

The French duo is ice dancing to Blue by Eiffel 65, transitioning into Daft Punk. We're going to live forever.

Greatly enjoying how every Swiss male athlete at Milan Cortina is named something like Koyaanisqatsi Herrmann

Dropkin's shot to knock all 3 stones out with sound and replays

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

The Nü Pac-12 should let them in whole cloth

I’m not watching, but holy shit is a 59 in play for Hideki Matsuyama???

Neutral Milk Hostile

This reads like the opening salvo toward denying banking services to immigrants Once the banks are no longer accessible, this gov’t will find other ways to “de-platform” immigrants Day-to-day life will become increasingly untenable with segregated services Gamergate revenge as nat’l policy

A reminder that, at any point now, Tina Kotek could activate the Oregon National Guard to do some good in another part of the state, ideally multiple hours from Portland

Nathan Vasquez does not consider himself an ICE agent watchdog. But he did win the DA seat on a “tough on crime” platform. As federal officials flout the law and hurt Portlanders, attention is turning to the DA to hold them to account.

Salem and Keizer’s mayors are conspicuously absent from this list

College hoops rocks because you really never know what a random night will deliver. Portland just upset sixth-ranked Gonzaga 87-80 to beat the Bulldogs for the first time in 12 years. Portland's biggest win EVER. 22.5-point underdogs. Upset of the year? Portland ranks 345th in experience at KenPom!

All newspaper closures are devastating; this one, quadruply so. The Skanner offered a lot to Portland’s media landscape.

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Hilarious subplot to this deadline is that Daryl Morey made a minor but VERY specific bet against the Rockets

Big news from WA, where the #waleg stepped in with a minuscule amount of state funding a few years ago to help pay for a few more reporters. www.reportforamerica.org/2026/02/04/w...

Better her than Julia Brim-Edwards

“Trae Young and Anthony Davis will lead the Washington Wizards into the playoffs in five years,” I tell the psychiatric nurse in 2022, just before she sedates me with a footlong needle

I am having a very difficult time ascertaining who the third-best player in this Mavs-Wizards trade is

Literally just yesterday I remarked to a colleague that this administration is creating a generation of ACCs who don't have a clue how to win cases where the forum isn't stacked massively in their favor. Yeah it must suck to go to real court and be expected to make real arguments with real evidence.

Hahaha the Pistons are loading up for the playoffs, this is great

Southern Oregon has tried nothing on housing for three decades and is all out of ideas

Oregon Democrats have three goals for the legislative short session: 1. Reclaim state money that would otherwise go into Donald Trump’s bank account 2. Get Oregon Republicans to walk out again 3. Stop ICE and others from kidnapping Oregon residents and punishing those who let the practice continue

LOL damn, just saw that the Salem, Ore., City Manager explicitly told people that because Oregon has a Sanctuary State Law, and they view ICE brutalizing and kidnapping of immigrants as a federally sanctioned immigration action, *Salem police cannot help ICE victims* www.reddit.com/r/SALEM/comm...

I’ve beaten this drum like crazy for a while now but unless OHSU opens a large teaching hospital complex in eastern Oregon we are going to see a total healthcare desert between Bend and central Montana in the next decade
