La Grande, Pendleton and Baker City out here representing!

Seattle really reaping benefits of the Tacoma setup. Minoungou been good all game attacking downhill every touch

Watching a bad movie, Liberal Arts, because @normcharlatan.bsky.social mentioned that it is set at Kenyon College, a school we will be visiting in a couple weeks. It is not great, but Zac Efron gives an all-time performance despite them clearly having him for just a couple hours.

Wrote a little something in the mighty @rollingstone.com about #TeslaTakedown. In anticipation of our upcoming second weekend of protests! Join or create an event for ANY day and ANY country at Teslatakedown.com. Download our flyers and background to get informed and get involved!

I'm confounded by my daughter thinking she has to plug in her tablet when it's at 18%. You will be long asleep by the time it runs out... She doesn't care and wants to charge it!

Steph is just... I don't have the words!

McDavid, the god. That's what he's waited for

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

the whole 2020-2024 era of “dems shouldnt aggressively use the levers of power bc then republicans will do the same thing when theyre elected” sure looks dumb as dog shit right now huh

THE FIRST JINGLE BELLS OF 2025 🎶

The second half was much better than the first. It's so good to see the Sounders not playing down to the competition and instead asserting themselves in the second half. More of this in 2025.

Brian Schmetzer at the press conference: ‘it was a good performance by us and we’re obviously pleased.’

Every supposed liberal who capitulated on trans rights will go down in history as fascist collaborators.

Tonight’s sunset over the Salish Sea and Olympic Mountains #wawx

Let's go!

Don’t forget, if you’re an advocate or above a subscription to @backheeled.com comes included. That comes in especially handy this week with content like this: www.backheeled.com/2025-mls-pre...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

I just tipped my Roto Rooter guy with a t-bone steak and then he took $50 off my bill. That's the good stuff right there.

I will continue tampering with the lavatory smoke detector, I do not give a shit.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

Wilson's Snipes are one of my favorite birds. Their beaks are incredible! Saw these at Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge in Washington state last week. 🪶

“In a defeat for Democrats,” the spoon-fed horse-race journalist writes, “the Trump administration is sentencing many vulnerable people to a lifetime of misery, imprisonment or death.”

Since everything sucks right now, please enjoy this photo of a Great Horned Owl laughing*. 🪶 *-denotes it's not laughing, but actually getting read to preen its feathers.

Editor: "Is your story on the authoritarian takeover of America ready for me to look at?" Reporter: "So sorry, I wasn't allowed in for the press conference."

This is such a terrible read by Pike Place Market on the local reaction to all the bullshit being pushed out by the Trump Administration.

Absolute unit

At a bar by myself in Vancouver, Wash., on a work trip. Two dudes walked in, ordered bud lights and then asked the bartender what a white claw is. She said a type of seltzer. Old boy with the redneck mullet - not a hipster mullet - said, oh, I thought it was food. Nevermind.
