Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

At the Portland City Council's Lloyd Center hearing, a person requests to go over time, goes about 20 seconds over time before mic is cut off, stands up and starts signing "Big Yellow Taxi," is escorted by security from council chambers.
Dude is like, thrown out in the writer's room levels of cartoonishly evil. I can't wait for his trial.

ICYMI, @weareravenous.com launched this week, and I went long on chef Telly Justice working with restaurants around the country to offer pay-what-you-can dining, showing how it's possible to be a for-profit restaurant and give away food for free. www.weareravenous.com/pay-what-you...
Paying What You Can
Even amid tightening margins, some restaurants are putting mutual aid over profit. And it’s working.

Food media is broken. There are several reasons for this, but we think it can be distilled into three core issues:
This Oregon winter was tied for the warmest in records that date back to the 1890s and produced the smallest amount of snow ever recorded. So what will that mean for summer? Spent a lot of time on that last week looking at impact on: water, wildfire, wildlife, forest health tinyurl.com/584sd6vw
Did y’all know that shellfish allergies are the most common adult-onset food allergy, and 60 percent of people with shellfish allergies developed them in adulthood? Ask me how I know! 🫠
Sur La Table is reentering Oregon with a store at Bridgeport Village (where they previously had a store until their 2020 bankruptcy) www.bridgeport-village.com/opening-soon I remain convinced they should be recruited back to central Portland as well, perhaps near the James Beard Public Market.
Someone should work on recruiting Sur La Table to a Downtown Portland location near the forthcoming James Beard Public. They closed all their Oregon locations as part of their 2020 bankruptcy, but are now opening stores again in markets they exited.
Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

HR 7661, the Federal book banning bill, is unfortunately still alive. Please call your reps and say NO ON HR 7661! You can read the bill's full text here and see if your Congressperson is one of the 19 co-sponsors: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
Phone calls to reps are still the best way for citizens to influence legislation. If you've avoided the phone thus far, use this tool from @everylibrary.bsky.social to help oppose H.R. 7661. If you do that today, you can take the rest of the weekend off! :)

Welp, I am no longer the editor in chief of Portland Monthly. Hour Media has acquired SagaCity, and several editorial employees have been laid off. I feel so, so proud of the work we’ve done over the last (almost) two years—please continue to support the super talented people who are still there.
this is completely insane: since when is it acceptable for a tech company to rewrite news outlets' headlines without their consent? especially at a time when audiences are sensitive to how stories are framed in headlines? (ie Israel/Palestine, the Trump admin, ICE) www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...
Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines

I think, if hell exists for me, it will be me perpetually trying to clean out my Outlook inbox and somehow only watching the number of unread emails grow, which seems to be on the agenda this afternoon.
