Anyone arguing the nation’s housing issues aren’t a result of a rigged & deeply flawed capital allocation system, dig into this chart. It’s a show stopper.
Mike Eliason@holz-bau.bsky.social · 4d agochat is this good?
OK. So I once got the hang out w these guys at MSY when our plane was delayed after JazzFest. Funny, absolute gentlemen in addition to being superb musicians. This fits so well. Enjoy!

👀 MUST WATCH: This video is so well done — and absolutely hilarious! 🤣🤣
Novak Djokovic lost in the US Open first round for the first time in 20 years. And we all know why.
A great expose’ on how #Oregon DEQ fails to adequately monitor & enforce one of its basic regulatory functions & has even allowed WM to conduct its own regulatory compliance reviews. Shameful.
Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · last mo.Hot waste piles can become environmental disasters. A Bloomberg Businessweek analysis finds that many landfill operators and regulators aren’t intervening at the level experts say is needed.
We need data centers so ppl can create & post this kind of AI slop?

SAMMY DAVIS JR. tearing it up on the Drums and Vibraphone in 1963. He was quite simply, a phenomenon.
Even the conservative Defense One views this campaign by the Trump admin as dangerous bullshit. www.defenseone.com/ideas/2026/0...
The antifa terrorism threat the Trump administration describes does not exist
Focusing on it will only make Americans more vulnerable to actual threats.

Gov. Kotek & her appointed PUC & probably #ORDem’s leadership are cringing big time over this development.
isaac@sevier.io · 3mo agoSeattle is getting closer to free and universal electricity service. They're changing up their utility discount program to use Area Median Income (instead of State Median) and the discount is huge - 60%. Just 40% more off the bill to go... council.seattle.gov/2026/07/14/c...
Hmm, #Portland. Sound familiar? #Blazers
J.C. Bradbury@jcbradbury.com · 3mo agoBack-to-back World Cup games held at 40 and 50-year-old stadiums, one of which was privately built. Remember that the next time a politician tells you they need a new taxpayer-funded stadium to attract world-class mega-events. It's bullshit.
This tops all of the preceding cheapskate, lowlife antics by Dundon et al. Can we in Portland please be done with this guy? #Blazers #Portland
Los Angeles Times@latimes.com · 3mo agoHurricanes owner Tom Dundon has names of wife, kids engraved on Stanley Cup above actual players
We’re traveling on the East Coast, dining with friends & get a call that Gina’s horse Annie is colicing. Not something we planned for. Send this beautiful mare your good vibes pls.
Hey #Portland & #ORDems take note. Dundon et al are pitching the exact same deal & you’re buying it. Learn from others’ mistakes please.
Jim Owczarski@jimowczarski.bsky.social · 4mo agoSpent last couple days reading/listening up on how the Bears absolutely f—-d up their own stadium deal. A self-inflicted, unmitigated disaster on a level I’ve never seen in pro sports.
#ORDems would benefit from the allegiance to taxpayers - not billionaire pro sports team owners- Pritzker shows in this quote. #Blazers #Portland
Samuel ✡️ 🗽@bluelion70.bsky.social · 4mo agoSt. Louis taxpayers were still paying for the new stadium they built for the Rams until 2022… six years after the Rams moved to Los Angeles. Kudos to Gov. Pritzker for standing up to the Bears’ attempted extortion. These franchises should be building their own stadiums, not shaking down taxpayers.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of seeing lots of musicians & attending many performances. Few come close to “An Evening with Yo Yo Ma.” We left speechless & remained that way for nearly an hour.
Worse, it’s a source of profit for the rabid right-wing MAGA billionaire Anschutz & his AEG.
BigSlim@imbigslim.bsky.social · 6mo agoFun fact: Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival started in 1999 to push back against high ticket prices. Now it’s $649 to get in, $20 for a beer, $17 for coffee and $150 for a caviar burger. Mission accomplished!
In a surprising turn of events Marco Rubio has been put in charge of the lineup at Coachella
Exactly HOW is Trump going to make Iran “a living hell?” Declare it our 51st State?
Damn. Just learned another man done a full go around. Roy Bookbinder has passed. He was a musical hero of mine & just a plain wonderful & unique soul. He studied, traveled with & was largely influenced in life by the Rev. Gary Davis, another hero. I always looked forward to seeing Roy. RIP.
So, I’ve seen Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons performed over the course of 60+ years at probably a dozen or more symphonies & this was a unique & wonderful performance tonite by the Oregon Symphony featuring Avi Avital on mandolin (doing the trad violin leads). An amazing evening. A challenging program. Thx!
