OH: "we can have multiple scandals. I have confidence in our leadership."

Just 15 years ago Aaron Swartz died as a result of MIT's overzealous regard for the sanctity of their libraries. He'd be turning 40 this year.

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

oh man I can’t believe the Enhanced Games are actually happening lol. wow I wonder who would win between an insane person who has dedicated their entire adult life relentlessly training to become the most perfect athlete for their chosen sport and a guy who wanted to skip that part

"you uh...want some help with those tacos?"

Someone else also wants the first strawberries of the season.

That's it, I am calling in sunny and am waking up the outdoor kitchen for the season. Smoker, counter prep area with a sink and an induction burner, gas grill with side burner. At the very least, I can stop tear gassing my kitchen with peppers and start tear gassing the neighborhood.

This weekend: FAMILY FUN FOOD DANGER

Yuzu kosho broiled salmon with sticky rice and yamitsuki cabbage. Pinot blanc pairing. Helpful golden.

/22 Heads should roll. Careers should end. If DoJ won’t do it, the legal community should do it for them. This is appalling and unacceptable behavior throughout, at all levels of this office. The lower attorneys committed misconduct. Boutros was complicit in hiding it from the court.

Snuffleupagus!! www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

New breakfast bowl on repeat: Couscous, hardboiled egg, arugula pesto, feta. Tiny amount of salsa macha. Salsa verde is the usual, but I needed to have some arugula leave us, so there.

Republican healthcare plan is storming the capital & bear-spraying a cop so you get $ to buy chemo for your daughter

Scene, driving past a neighbor holding a mason jar. Thing One: "That looks like a mason jar full of white wine." Thing Two: "Loorrrd, I have seen what you have done for others and I wish this for myself as well."

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Same! Vote by mail is one of the best things about our state.

A Portland division of weird: * Laudatory: throwing a UFO festival * Derogatory: installing a ceiling fan in your Civic.

The word you are looking for is “corruption.”

I promise you, this is real.

A little behind the scenes: For the Benson Bubbler shot we actually 3D printed a replacement animation cycle of the water. The faucets would register to the fountain. So the fountain heads are color and the water was printed in a clear material and glossed. We did this mainly because we are maniacs

This week has had such an education.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

This is the kind of story that local alt weeklies are made for.

"Come on in. You know what you did and why you're here." "We tried to warn you."

Seen on the doors coming into Emergency Room/Intensive Care Unit here in town. I really want to know what the other alternatives were. 🙃

🤦‍♀️

Werner Herzog's Muppet Treasure Island.

And this is how I know the event has not yet occurred, because it is quiet and peaceful with a little bit of rain in Portland.

I hope this email finds you well and happy, as it leaves us.

Did someone say "park"?

This was HIGHLY entertaining and cathartic. www.stvn.sh/writing/prog...

Woodford Reserve is nice, but does he know about Nikka Coffey Grain?

these 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 things they neither lift nor peel. I can't remember the last time I didn't give up and stab the damn thing to get it open without dealing with this bullshit

Notes from this weekend, when we had a moment of summer. Coppa & Warm Parslied Potato Salad from the Zuni Cafe Cookbook, extremely helpful dog in the sun.

Passionfruit margarita with chamoy rim.

Polling the audience for what this week's CVE cocktail should be flavored like.

Sometimes, the perfect shrimp cocktail finds you.

Chat, is a good thing when a platform needs to have a "Spring Cleaning" checklist? "Reduce notifications for mental clarity" is not the flex you think it is, people.

it is racial discrimination to try ensure that the representation of a minority group is roughly in line with its proportion of the state’s population. it is equal protection to allow a state to obliterate a minority group’s representation.

never encountered www.livesunset.io before. gonna get that up on a display in the house.

A reminder for today that all the aspects of our economic system are made up and we can have a new and better system if we want. It does not have to be this way.

Pictured: the cat that has lost all outdoor privileges for the evening after bringing in two mice (very alive, very wriggly) in the space of 25 minutes. I understand that I am supposed to be impressed, but he's grounded.

At a professional event recently, I spoke over a drink with a former AUSA who is on hiatus after quitting about a month ago. Q: So, did it feel like a tremendous weight was lifted from you when you quit? A: You don't even know! I was FLOATING, I felt so light. I can look my kid in the eye again.

This is fabulous news to find on my desk today. So, yeah, completed LL.M in cybercrime, cybersecurity and international law.

Settle a disagreement: at 630am, if you camp on a treadmill (2mph) and watch TV, you deserve one itchy sock for the rest of the day. (Aggravating factor: the gym has 3 treadmills and 12 ellipticals.)

who the hell called it "a major housing supply crisis due to overpurchasing by wealthy non-resident owners" and not . . . pied-à-terrorism

Will be here for the rest of the afternoon.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

I'm going back out to watch the sunset.
