Dundon wore a Whalers cap to his first Blazers game as owner. The Whalers, the team moved from Hartford and relocated to Raleigh to become the Carolina Hurricanes, the other team owned by Dundon. Gross stuff. It's like if Clay Bennett bought the Buffalo Sabres and wore a Sonics hat to his 1st game.

Hi all. I’m back again regarding Quelvin’s court costs. He has two court dates next week and needs to make some payments on his tickets in O’Fallon. Currently he owes $1748 to O’Fallon and we just want to make some kind of good faith partial payment before his review hearing on Monday.
Rachel Bean, still sick but less@colocharachel.bsky.social · 4mo agoHi all. I’m coming to y’all with a personal need. If you’ve been connected to me since Twitter, you may remember that I have a young man/mentee in my life from our time in St. Louis. He owes some court fees for some ongoing racist St. Charles County shit and I want to help him pay them.

Rip City Not Rip Off@ripcitynotripoff.bsky.social · 4w ago1/ OK! We analyzed all ~5,300 pages of public records on the Moda Center deal — every email, text, contract, and invoice produced so far. Before Portland commits ~$850M+ ($1.12B after interest), here’s what every Portlander should know. It’s not the story you’ve been told. 🧵
Taking away power from the people we elected, and giving to an unelected board, is pretty bad actually

Maybe Mandani can invite him over to the mansion to watch the game. A boys night with the cool kid. They could fast forward the ads. Old men love that.
