I live in Portland but do not own a bike nor chickens. However, I do read a lot, wrangle Pikmin, drink coffee, and serve as a trustee of Awesome Portland.

If you tune into the #MST3K Forever-a-thon right now, you can watch Pod People. "It has nothing to do with pods, it has nothing to do with people, it has everything to do with hurting." It stinks!

What I look like scrolling social media - when there are cute animals - pretty much the rest of the time

Watching #MST3K foreverathon. The plug for Deep 13 toothpaste brings us this gem: "I, Dr Clayton Forrester, have discovered an important truth: before adulthood — when booze becomes a staple — sugar is the next, best substitute for parental love." Crash of Moons gets darker than I remember!

Watching TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE on a weekend, like you do. Having a sudden urge to get a jump suit and dress it up with some gaffer tape. Well, maybe not today since it's gonna be in the 90s...

This is a great article but the short answer for me is that they crave Trump being back in office because they think it will be profitable for them. Donnie is a monster but they don’t care. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

“Cat, please stop meowing, you keep interrupting me. Has nobody ever told you about context-switching?!” A perfectly cromulent thing to say to one’s pet!

All I want to do today is eat the new variety of chili crisp that arrived at my door. Instead I am trying to troubleshoot a mongo problem locally. Mongo problems are not good with rice! Chili crisp is!

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

"What if we don't fuck this up" has often been the hardest question for me to deal with, because look at history. But I found this refreshing to read. There is everything at stake right now. Think about it, won't you? movement.vote/blog/batsign...

This is a great thread about why you should probably stop subscribing to that newspaper. Remember how in 2016 they ran on "We'll keep Trump accountable" and then had Haberman parrot whatever he wanted to say? I'm not even going to get into their garbage opinion writers.

I see the NYT has changed little since its fawning reports on Hitler. No really. Their ability to toady up toward fascism is buried deep, deep within the organization's predilections. They have amazing individual reporters, but the fish has always rotted from the head: www.vox.com/2015/2/11/80...

I recommend taking five to ten minutes to put your US rep, US senators, and state and local elected officials into your phone contacts so you can instantly call them whenever you get mad, which will be every day from now until we die.

Duolingo, if you insist on trying to upsell me on your AI bullshit every fourth exercise, I'm done. I don't even care how long my streak is at this point, this is gross.

I have always enjoyed this guy's impressions, his Matt Berry is so choice. Why make a Gollum prequel at all? HERE is your movie! www.tiktok.com/@benkearns96... "If Matt berry was Gandalf in the Muppets lord of the rings"

Look, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Now, more than ever, it's specialty bread.

we're all overlooking the important question though, which is are the justices all still friends having fun, despite their disagreements

Trying to remember if was Digby’s blog back in the day that had the shot of Howard Beale in Network screaming that “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Anyway, how is your day going? We’ve taken our laws and replaced them with Calvinball! Today is a great day to get organized.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Knock on the door indicating some mail. I had hoped it was my new art supplies. Instead it was new toppings from Ramen Bae. Spicy garlic tonkatsu, here I come.

I can see it pitched as "nothing will limit Trump's derangement and crimes except for you, the voter"

My mom was all "Things are fine, how is your 401k doing?" It's doing great, but it's not the point. When I told her how many people just applied for the open positions on my team she was kinda gobsmacked. She said "zero." Off by several hundred, sadly. The stock market is not the economy!

NYT: Joe should quit, he stutters Philly Inquirer: Trump is a fucking criminal what the fuck are we doing here

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.
