Moore’s Law of miniaturization is amazing! We’re now able to fit $120 of groceries into a single bag!

Stay at home dad. Maker of sawdust. Public policy designed by and for the top 1% is the precursor to a failed state
It’s 90 degrees F(reedom) and I’m wearing full sweats and a blanket. Ah, must be summer cold time
Only a dude would invent a whole-ass quack diet to explain why he refuses to wipe his ass
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Hello my Democratic candidate to whom I've given as much money as I can afford right now: stop texting me every fvcking day or I will block you.
Aside from the utter sadness of fires, this article also shows that we _have_ to get governmental/emergency information off of facebook as a primary source.
As of this morning, Mt Hood Meadows is under a Level 3 - GO NOW - evacuation. #GrasshopperFire www.kptv.com/2026/08/04/o...
The images of this building going up like a pep-rally bonfire while that big juicy water tower on top sits silent and resolute are an amazing metaphor
The interior floors collapsed during the blaze on Sunday, and the rest of the building threatens to fall. https://mrf.lu/2ZzKD
There is a real rotten culture at the heart of Portland & Oregon’s business community that the Blazers are parroting. Nothing is ever good enough. We are going to tear this city down because it doesn’t cater to my EXACT needs. When I do get something, feck the rest of you & I’ll still complain.
Portland, whom up until 2 years ago was completely dominated by the neoliberals, big business and the police union, set up as the “scary leftist” enclave is one of the funnier jokes i will read all month
"Democratic socialists can claim to be similarly in the mainstream, but unless we’re talking about the mainstream of Portland, Oregon, or Brooklyn, then either they haven’t read their own platform, or they’re just not living in reality." Read @mattbaidc.bsky.social’s commentary ↓
i like avalos' point that portlanders are technically paying thrice because state, county, and city tax dollars are all going to this. really good from a rhetorical standpoint
Interesting to watch the Blazers adopt the “This City is a Shithole” strategy of the business community as the Timbers, Thorns, Fire and Pickles/Cheery Bombs/Bangers manage to do what an NBA franchise says it can’t.
Why'd you buy the fucking team then, you fucks
if this is going to be the line then fuck these guys
In order to remain in Portland, the blazers also require three unicorns for each member of the owners’ families
Portland Trail Blazers officials told city councilors the city needs to do more than just help fund a renovation of the Moda Center if it wants to assure the Blazers’ long-term presence in Oregon.
The endgame for Dundon is and always was attempting to force a move or force a buyout at a profit (which he’s actively attempting to spike, but 🤷🏻♂️) and deal with the city or no deal, this will continue to be The Plan. The NBA signaled no more moves, but there’s probably a “hardship” clause in there
After approximately 7266238 people told me I'm wrong on this and after hearing both the Blazers and the City today... maybe I am wrong on this.
So the woman is doing all the labor for the deadbeat partner and then celebrating _him_ afterwards, knowing she did all the labor but propping him up anyway? AI for incels by incels, thinking they’re marketing to women who love deadbeats
most charitable read of this ad is that ai companies are just straight-up admitting that their products are exclusively for horrible people who suck.
I wish that Olive Garden had the fucking integrity to put out a statement that no, you don’t need a fucking government ID to eat fucking pasta. This is one of the dumber lies and it is amazing that no one ever asks [random republican dipshit] “when was the last time you ate at Olive Garden?”
Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
Weirdly, aside from not having public transport from the outset, the only real “disappointment” of DIA is that it was built a billion miles away from the city it serves (which was done specifically for noise pollution concerns, whatever) otherwise, it’s functionally very good at being “airport.”
Trump: "The last major airport built in the US was Denver in 1995. It hasn't gotten very great reviews. So we're doing something with Dulles that's gonna make it I think maybe the top anywhere in the world. By the way, Palm Beach is gonna be one of the top too."
Good news: it converts all of your money to Grok tokens! You’ll be rich!
oh good the full self-driving of money has finally arrived
If you want to cut your Portland tax bill, get PPB to fill the hundred+ empty positions already budgeted for and they’re not filling because they can get more overtime and pad their pre-retirement income so they get a bigger retirement that we pay for directly as pdx taxpayers

As Signatures Are Disqualified, Campaign to Hire More Police Cries Foul
With early numbers indicating that a Portland ballot initiative to hire additional police officers is falling shy of the valid signatures needed to place it on the November ballot, its backers on Mond...

If art is something that you continue to think about and discuss long after you’ve experienced it, then I guess that Nolan has accomplished that with the Odyssey. (Also movies are objectively better in a theater without interruptions or compulsions to grab the phone.)
Why does google meet need my fitness and medical data?
Thinking over the last three Timbers games, it really feels like this team has a serious floor-to-ceiling delta. The highs are pretty good (not exceptional, but pretty good) but the floor is really low. And getting this whole bunch to play at their ceiling at the same time is daunting
I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be difficult to keep Cassidy as T2 coach after his tenure as Interim at the senior team.

How many different healthcare systems are RSL sponsored by?
I know we don’t do hatties. But if we _did_, tonight would be a great night to have one
Mora definitely knows how to pick the most dramatic moments.
That was a great finish for a great player. Thanks, Pipé
