I’m in awe that so many of us have not given into political violence against our enemies. Aren’t you so blood-boiling angry at all of this?

Are we now using ‘birthright citizens’ to just mean second generation immigrants?

I did not become aware of the Apprentice as a cultural phenomenon but knew Trump from growing up in NY in the 80s and 90s so was very surprised people took him to be some kind of business genius instead of a hack and a con artist.

If the NY Times used this style about a bank manager embezzling money:

Youre not on X but why are you still on instagram?

Unfortunately, politicians and sports broadcasters keep convincing gullible citizens that stadium deals are economic drivers for the region. We keep getting scammed. www.currentaffairs.org/news/taxpaye...

Gender with a hard r.

It wasn’t the appeal process, it was the potential social networks we made along the way.

Save the mall by begging for a Walmart.

Oh daddy! My sense of place is so hungry for your big ideas.

Ive actually met the Lord of the Lloyd District.

My mom met one of my dads right here in the Realtor ™️ office

I’ve built MULTIPLE she sheds and spent thousands of hard cash bags.

I have 57 years of experience listening to you hippies whine about having to buy back their drum machine from the pawn shop.

Bro sounding like he’s the Roman emperor

The Master Plan allows for dense, walkable, subterranean pits for the born and raised troglodytes.

Call me Urban Renaissance Group, cuz I want to redevelop that ass

Won’t somebody please think of the children!

It blows my mind how many people fall for the "but the City owns it" trope in stadium debates. This isn't a mean landlord extorting a tenant over the condition of an apartment. Public ownership is a legal arrangement intended for the benefit of the team-tenant.

The fact is that Tom Dundon doesn’t give a shit about Portland. He buys the team and immediately threatens to leave the city if Portlanders don’t give into his demands. And some of our local politicians can’t wait to override voters choices in order to submit to a billionaire’s whims.

Im still bitter this never happened www.nextportland.com/2016/09/29/1...

Also many doughnut shops have quirky toppings these days in a way they didn’t in 2005.

My hope is that the Lloyd Center Régal Cinéma stays as part of the redevelopment. It’s 40 years old now and remains in business.

Sitting in this at TSA and threatening to call the ACLU

Wait 'til he gets briefed by this guy…

Ostensibly all the « modernisations » should be sustainability improvements given that the city’s funds are supposed to come from PCEF.

Interesting ridership comparisons: In 1914, PRL&P carried 94.0M passengers with a fleet of 534 streetcars on 305 miles of track (185 within the city limits). In 2025, TriMet carried 65.3M passengers with a fleet of ~1000 different vehicles (bus, rail, paratransit) with about 75 miles of track.

Knickerbockers

A lot of the people who most need the cooling centers don’t have working phones. How the fuck will they know if the centers are open or not if people can’t tell them beforehand.

No More Freeways began filing lawsuits over the Rose Quarter project in 2019. After many ODOT withdrawals, re-filings and delays our day in court has arrived. Our first trial begins on Monday at 9am in room 14B of the Multnomah County Courthouse!

I didn’t think people actually used LinkedIn.

America's Addiction to Stadium Subsidies #economics #stadiums #subsidies

you guys realize how many trees are being planted across Portland now with PCEF funding? PCEF should release some stats on this because they have them! imagine all these trees in 20-40-80 years! this is like new deal era shit

Seattle Climate Pledge Arena is city-owned. The private owner put in $1.12B. The public paid $0. Why? Seattle wisely decided to actually put out a competitive bid to see who would give them the best deal. And they got it. Why shouldn't Portland do the same. We lose no events/tenants by just asking.

It’s times like these I do miss being in NY and experiencing collective joy.

Just respond with the clip of president Trump saying inflation is good.

Having grown up in NYC during the 80s and 90s, we didn’t call them transplants. We saved our hate for tourists.

Waiting for a movie like Cars but about Bikes. A racing bike is humbled and learns from commuters and a school bike bus.

Portland Oregon has banned eating ass effective immediately.

My wife is a deer and my son is a bunny.

Deceptive petition going around in Portland in favor of “decreasing the 911 response time”. But it’s actually for raiding the PCEF.

Ulysses is the Bible for white people.

My most extreme take is that I don’t care if “service members” die in a war they signed up for. (And when you join the military you’re signing your literal life away). That’s something I was always taught since I was a child and it’s just as true now.

It’s Dad Bod Summer

Enshittification of YA lit lol

I had to mute Mamdani’s account from my feed. I’ve clicked “show less” every time but it’s not doing what I want it to do. I like Mamdani but I don’t want to see every post he makes, but I do not want to mute his name either.
