we missed peak culture

We made it, Grant

cape verde's plan against lionel messi and reigning world cup winners argentina is 100% gonna be "you're locked in here with US" and that is why i love them

CAPE VERDE

Plot status: THICKENING

The Portland Police bureau has been on strike, in everything but official designation, since January 2020

Question for you beautiful people: What is a book that I could give to someone that would be psychologically scarring to MAGA people? I’m not talking “How to Be an Anti-Racist;” something that actually punctures the worldview

I have some new followers, so I thought I'd reshare this weird story I wrote a month back for @thewesternedge.bsky.social. This would be the kind of story that would be nearly impossible to sell as a freelancer, but it's one of my favorite pieces of reporting I've gotten to do in the last year.

Can’t wait for USMNT to hire him whenever Poch leaves

That's the USMNT we know and love 😂😭

The US kits are fucking outstanding

That’s just Ed Norton?

You know what time it is

Short thread. My hangup with this is: There’s not actually a deal, of any kind, being negotiated right now. It’s just Status Quo Moda vs. shinier Moda. Dundon and the Trail Blazers have no interest in engaging with any details. There’s no federal or state money available for a better project.

dog for real call his bluff. leaving would be incredibly difficult and nasty, he should go the fuck ahead and try

Hey Oregon Legislature: Ohio passed the Modell Law after losing the Browns. We can do the same for the Blazers–especially since we own the Rose Garden now.

The Portland Trail Blazers, going green (did not use a single watt of energy to light a facility in the last 48 hours)

do not pmo 😒

GO GET TOBE AWAKA, EMPTY BLAZERS DRAFT ROOM

The Pelicans should get a nationally televised game in exchange for stumping ESPN on that pick

Vsevolod got drafted before Luigi. Man

Honestly?? I’m glad we got a WTF pick. FINALLY. Even more random than Taelon Peter, who went #54 last year and played multiple NBA games!

The NBA champions are adding him, I would say the same

Henri Veesaar: Magic City fan

Hell yeah, Izaiyah Nelson got drafted. And he deserves it!

Unironically love Milwaukee trading back in for #60

I won’t even front, drafting a St. John’s player doesn’t even provoke a reaction from me. Just, you do you, personnel staff

I’m digging Iman Shumpert on this broadcast but it needs more “after dark” or unplugged spice to it overall

They’re as sad as I am that Olivier-Maxence Prosper did not work out

The Knicks drafted Ron Baker for a new generation

NICE. Was curious if the Wizards would be able to pull off a move-up. It might be very good for Orlando too!

I do appreciate that the broadcast all but reported that Veesaar has broadcasted a DO NOT DRAFT ME message to more than half the NBA

Harrison Barnes is a player that Maliq Brown should look to for career influence

Tyler Bilodeau’s NBA comp: Brian Scalabrine

LOL that’s an UNBELIEVABLE move by Memphis!! Depth!!!

Oh my God is Veesaar gonna get picked HERE by NYC???

Someone is getting a helluva steal in the low 40s (it’s the Spurs, always the Spurs)

If the Thunder take Suigo here, I swear to God…

This NBA Draft Unplugged set for the second round is much too spare and impersonal. Bring back the living room set

Memphis what is u doing with this pick

Knicks now with #39, #47 and #53, in addition to that Kings’ 2nd which is spiritually a future #37 pick. Good business

I’m not actually convinced that the second round is as terrible as advertised. There are gonna be rotation dudes through the first 10-15 picks

gods help you against a socialist who has memorized robert’s rules of order, knows powerquery and is on a first name basis with the legislature’s librarian

Keith Wilson declaring victory on “unsheltered homelessness” (opening beds that either couldn’t be or never were used) apparently unlocked for him a secondary victory of Never Pretending to Do Politics Again

Los Colibris, the first building planned for the OMSI District. Will include 100 units of affordable housing. www.portland.gov/ppd/zoning-l...

this is the most reasonable take i have seen on this all day

interesting tidbit in the moda center hearing is that since covid the city makes more money in user fees from concerts than from the blazers

Oh no eh? Disaster! What a bad idea buddy.
