There’s about 450-500 cars in this photo Two Type 6 MAX trans hold about 336 people

how a se 82nd ave business owner looks at you when you tell them a bus is really just a big car that holds a lot of people as opposed to a small car that holds - usually - one person

I know a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand, but does anyone know how much one on your main power lines are worth?

The giant Sasquatch on Ross Island would’ve stopped The Big Pipe from overflowing. He could’ve saved us

Every time I’m forced to drive south on I-5 through the Rose Quarter, I stay in my lane, drive slowly, give ample space, and zipper merge at exit 302A like god intended And then I get home and write Santa another strongly worded letter asking for more funding for public transit

Perfect example of why I avoid biking on SE 7th whenever possible. Paint isn't infrastructure Also flying through Division and SE 12th at 60MPH This isn't even a hypothetical, I was biking home from PIR and had these cops fly around me on SE 9th to get on Powell to try and catch him

Certified Portland moment™️

Always a fun time poking around new (to me) ODOT data online with regards to how isolated the Brooklyn neighborhood is, being surrounded on 3* sides by ODOT highways Here's some highlights, a 🧵

Telling the front desk worker at the courthouse I’m there to “pay off the judge”, before dejectedly explaining I just have some paperwork to drop off when they don’t laugh at my joke

MAX Orange Line - SE Bybee Blvd, 2026

Feeding all my friends for the holidays Downy woodpecker, chickadees, sparrows, finches, hummingbird chirping in the tree A towhee hopping around here somewhere too

This is my Sistine Chapel pt. 2

I can see why you’d think sidewalks would be for pedestrians to walk around on, but it’s actually just more car storage. Common misconception

Shout out to BP who blew up a part of the chemical refineries in my hometown when I was growing up Maybe next year they’ll finally turn things around?

Like this post if you wish drivers would simply stop at 4-way stop signs @pbotinfo.bsky.social @councilorclark.bsky.social @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilorgreen.bsky.social @councilortkl.bsky.social

Finally found a good front light for my bike to fight back against LED headlights blinding me all winter

ODOT sending out mailers about their ADA curb ramp work in the n'hood. As far as I can tell, this only pertains to *closing* crosswalks around me - no rebuilding Funnily enough, their justification for closing these crosswalks relies on redirecting to the SE 9th overpass which is NOT ADA compliant.

Everyone say good morning Mr. Woodpecker

honestly, same

I bet if SE 12th between the rail line and Division was completely pedestrianized the old Virtuous Pie location wouldn’t be sitting empty for, what is now, 7 months

Waking up with a debilitating migraine and googling “cheapest lobotomies in portland”

What tea pairs best with boxed vegan mac and cheese

It's 2025. I've paid DMAchoice and outoutprescreen to stop sending me junk. I use a paid email alias service to avoid giving out my real email address I only purchase the occasional thing online as a guest, without creating an account The "sign up to subscribe!" is checked by default. I uncheck it

Screaming and sobbing “I DIDN’T MEAN TO SCARE YOU” to every rabbit that runs into the bushes when I bike home at night

zero lanes is my position one lane is the centrist compromise

The world isn’t prepared for the amount of reflective safety jackets currently inside @powells.bsky.social to come listen to @thewaroncars.bsky.social

portland's lack of serious transportation alternatives is never more apparent than when trying to figure out how to move 9 visiting people around town for holiday plans 1 hr bus ride to go 4 mi. out of inner SE vs. 15 min. in a car 40 min. bus ride (incl. 1 transfer) to go 3mi. to ~Laurelhurst

if the sriracha flavored peas weren't meant to be poured into my gaping maw like a soda, then why do they come in a tin can perfectly shaped for it

the fact that we went through a pandemic's worth of WFH time and people still can't get their home a/v setups working properly.. zoom enforcing aggressive bg noise cancellation while folks speak with their speakers on and no headphones so everyone just sounds like they're 50 ft away from the laptop

Trains with a similar profile also hunt for prey

Getting a freight train blocking in SE late at night actually makes getting around a bit easier as a biker/ped There’s like a few blocks that are car free, if they weren’t there to begin with I think we’re close to something big here

Me, adding “critical thinking” to the skills section of my 300th job application: “yeah, that’s what I’ve been missing this whole time”

In case anyone else was wondering where this actually is, it's 8920 NE Von Neumann Dr in Hillsboro -- a 1 hour trip on the MAX from Pioneer Square 🤨

If someone’s idiotic, stupid, ugly truck is too big to comfortably fit in the parking lane, @pbotinfo.bsky.social traffic enforcement should be allowed to explode it onsite with a rocket launcher, no questions asked

I wonder how many Portlanders are thinking about our mayor tonight

us-east-1 has the opportunity to do the funniest thing right how

I’m an elite athlete fueling up for my day (I got a chocolate chip cookie from People’s before going to the Mill End Store for fabric)

SE 9th Ave pedestrian overpass so clean you can eat off it

The amount of times I’ve been harassed on greenways for biking “in the way” of drivers when I’m just hitting the sharrows like I’m supposed to.. happened again this afternoon and the dude even ran a stop sign to give me his thoughts about it

You would think with an eternity of anecdotal evidence that it rains in Portland and we have lots of trees, literally anyone in charge in the past 175 years would've developed a comprehensive approach to keeping the city's infrastructure draining well and free from debris

How anyone thinks this AI trash is going to change the world... this is less than worthless Anyway, I'm off to Rudy's to pick up a pizza, anyone want anything?

PPB Sgt. Kevin Allen after showing up and seeing a wrecked car and a kid on the ground: “hmmm, we’re definitely going to need to investigate this one. Anyway, you’re free to go, happy Halloween!“
