Shame on the governor for again using this manipulative framing. By categorizing the freeway expansion projects as “maintenance”, this push poll is gonna prioritize more lanes over maintaining the bus service we already have If you care about transit in Oregon fill out the damn survey
Mia Maldonado@miamaldonado.bsky.social · last wk.The group tasked with developing recommendations on how to maintain Oregon’s transportation system wants to hear from Oregonians about what they think the state’s transportation priorities should be. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/08/14/n...
Asking lay people to assess what percentage of the transportation budget should be aligned to different priorities assumes a bizarrely high level of foundational knowledge about how much this stuff costs relative to each other too.

I really like Mark Ruffalo‘s depiction of Donald J Trump in Mickey17. My only critique is that he maybe makes Trump look too capable (he actually picks up a gun with the intention to use it).

First time watching Escape from New York. Can’t believe a 400% increase in crime between 1981-1988 was enough to turn Manhattan into a prison fortress.
not NPR platforming the guy who wants to take away women’s right to vote. What the fuck is happening!!!
Ok I'll say it: the Thompson Elk is facing the wrong way. Maybe it made sense to have it face West when it was first installed, but it's now a one way street and no one can see its face. We should switch it around.
A newly minted archaeology graduate is asking me for help because they can't get a job without field school experience. No job without field school. Can't afford field school without a job. And no scholarships if you're not currently enrolled at university. This profession sucks...
Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:
It is sooooo irrational but I cannot overstate how much I HATE the new icons for the google workspace apps.

Ok but wait what the ACTUAL FUCK “I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

Portland, so desperate to use the clean energy fund for literally anything EXCEPT *checks notes* invest in clean energy
OPB@opb.org · 6mo agoCity and state officials have vowed to keep the Trail Blazers in Portland, but to do that they need to raise more than a half a billion dollars to renovate the nearly 30-year-old Moda Center. Portland's mayor has suggested a solution: tapping into the city's climate fund.
Case in point. www.opb.org/article/2026...

IT NEVER WORKS. NEVER. EVER. NEVER WORKS. IT HAS NEVER WORKED. AUSTERITY LEADS TO ENROLLMENT COLLAPSE LEAVES TO UNIVERSITY CLOSURE. EVERY TIME. ALWAYS.
We're probably cutting agencies and education across the board this year and instead of using this $1.4billion to try and close the budget gaps we just have to give it back to tax payers...the kicker is SO FUCKING DUMB www.opb.org/article/2025...
Oregon confirms $1.4 billion ‘kicker’ tax refund coming next year
