I am strong and will not allow Andrew Cuomo to negatively polarize me into supporting free buses

Shabazz Stuart @shabazzstuart.bsky.social · 6h

I actually thought this was satire. There are good, real grounded arguments against free busses.

Cuomo has picked (easily) the most nonsensical one.

What an unforgettable afternoon with

The energy, the smiles, and the singing made it a ride we'll never forget.

As a Scot living in Portland, I’m really glad that this is clear

That sounds like torture to me?

Not that I can think of, although next time I’m on my work computer it might be interesting to look at what IBC commentary says

DID IT END?

At least for me, not if the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has anything to say about it

We in Oregon should go in with you all for this

Now that I know baseball can last five hours, I am against the MLB2PDX effort

Adam this is both very helpful and also very confusing to me

Asking as a foreigner: how long does baseball last?

Googling how old Berlusconi was when he died for no particular reason…

I’m used to this in gay bars, but why is the sports bar openly flaunting lack of compliance with IBC section 2903.1.5 urinal partitions?

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Bad times, quality content

The NYTimes wisely hired Anna Griffin, one of the best journalists in Portland, as the head of its Pacific Northwest Bureau

President Trump continued to describe Portland, Ore., as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear. While taking questions from reporters in the White House, Mr. Trump said that “every time I look at that place, it’s burning down” and claimed that when store owners in Portland need to make repairs, they “build it out of plywood.” Buildings are still constructed with wood, concrete, steel and other modern construction materials in Oregon.
