The timeline where our culture perceives entertainment and reality as one.

We are truly living in the dumbest time-line. FBI agents will train with UFC fighters this week in a "historic collaboration." Quick reminder that our "Secretary of Education" is Linda McMahon from what was formerly known as the World Wrestling Federation. Bro culture got us here.

Amazon bids for Oregon's largest planned solar project. Flood watches and warnings across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. Scientists are looking for whitebark pines at Crater Lake that can withstand invasive blister rust. What we're following on @opb.org today: www.opb.org/article/2026...

The two-acre Quisisana Estate alongside Waverley Country Club has a 1953 mansion designed by architect Richard Sundeleaf.

In other words, his attorney could have received it just as quickly had they designated someone to pay attention.

What? Voting works? What sort of sorcery is this

‘Hundreds of Oregonians sign up to run for statewide races, Congress, Legislature’

Any Oregonian with a young child in their life can easily sign the child up for the program, which has no income requirements or hidden fees.

Expect wet and windy weather for your Wednesday in western Oregon and southwest Washington. 🌧💨

Republicans flip a seat in the county government of Virginia’s PWC. As the thread derails, a scandal and write-in derailed the Democrat:

RESULT: The AP calls it, that there will be a runoff between Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clayton Fuller in April (meaning they’ll take the top 2 spots and neither will get 50%). This is the reddest district in Georgia, though Dems are at least going to get a big overperformance today.

The special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene’s former district.

It’s too early to know how the Georgia 14 special election ends exactly; but any scenario where two Republicans advance to a Top 2 runoff seems ruled out.

I am older than everyone and I still want to own my music not because I'm old, but because otherwise it's like having a bunch of albums that someone can just remove from your house at any moment.

A beloved 17-acre park in outer Southeast Portland has raised enough money to stay open through June.

Sometimes when people say, "That'll be the first line of his obituary," they're right. Alexander Butterfield told a single crucial truth, and there it is, in the first sentence, 53 years later. Will any Trumper be memorialized for even one honest moment? I doubt it. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

This ain't it, Grammarly.

I had a student write a short story that began, "In the land of wind, there lived a young potato farmer," and I think about that beginning nearly every day.

Stopped by Honorable Mention, the new bar at the Benson backed by Damian Lillard

Also, this is why AI stands for anti intelligence.

This reminds me of that line I saw someone say once (which rang true) that something that makes Trump uniquely able to connect with low-information voters is that he is a low-information voter.

Updates on the Union St fire in Glasgow The Union Corner was built in 1851 so is a huge loss of architecture as well as the livelihoods of numerous folk. When it's finally out we'll need answers as to why it wasn't controllable www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2591832...

Stop being a pick-me about thinking the world is ending. Guess what, me too! Cloaking insufficiency to rise to the occasion of your life through cataclysm is only excusable when the streets are filling with volcanic ash and there's no more grass to touch.

This seems to be the source for a false, unlinked post claiming Leavitt said “a draft is on the table.” She’s awful and dishonest, but was obviously responding to the repeated question about “boots on the ground.”

A recent study in the scientific journal Nature says many forecasters are underestimating how much sea level will rise due to climate change in the years ahead.

A disc jockey who took a job and in doing so became an example for education, curiosity, precision, and conducting yourself in a gentlemanly way. He funded full scholarships to Fordham for the underprivileged, gave money to libraries, schools in Canada, etc.
