My streaming TV subscription ends next week and I'll probably only restart it for Unrivaled. I'll go to some live Portland games and watch whatever live games are on LeaguePass, but 45 bucks a month is too much for just some live WNBA games.

"Promising global play" - yeah, it'll pretty much have to given how stretched the US-based players are between #WNBA and #Unrivaled, not to mention national FIBA teams and how messed up the US government is for people accustomed to a connected free world.

The Switch ... I have changed my official favorite color from blue to green since becoming a forest dweller.

He bombed Iran this year ... probably checked off a "No Nobel For You!" box on the committee's form with that.

I miss the downtown. I stopped going in 2020 because of COVID and the tear gas and the Proud Boys convoys and just haven't had a reason to go back. Does Statue Man still perform on the street corners?

It used to be. I guess between COVID and me getting older and Obama not being President any more, it's just another city Trump hates.

Wait - we have beer in Portland? Like lager? Pilsner? Not just those IPAs?

Another good thread tonight:

Diane Galloway @adgwatches.bsky.social · 8h

Comrades, I’m inclined to tell you a story from my organizing days. In 2018, I was one of hundred of union organizers who had the privilege to assist with a nine-day, statewide, unauthorized teachers’ strike to save their schools from a critical staffing shortage. Buckle up, it’s a good one. 1/x

Wait - I've been here 40 years and counting - the motto isn't "Keep Portland Weird?"

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

It's pretty much over for me until next year. I only follow women's basketball. The #WNBA season ended tonight and #Unrivaled doesn't start up till January.

He was caught between a rock and a hard place. He was also in favor of the Equal Right Amendment. And Carter got torpedoed in 1980. Ford tried to make a comeback and Reagan's people ruined that.
