A certain “sports industry” pub known for ripping other people’s stories was a little to quick to report on the “All-American Halftime Show.”

Jalapeño harvest in advance of our first frost advisory…

The original estimate pre-Covid was $76M. And, by rebuilding at current location instead of moving, there’s a massive ‘foundation’ issue with the soil that will need to be addressed. Plus, two gyms, theatre, and sports fields. And it sounds like basically nothing salvageable, so current school demo!

An architectural firm that bid for the project (and lost) who recently did a $50M renovation for a middle school in a town 30 min away has been pretty vocal that the cost based on the set of circumstances is reasonable.

Sadly, I can’t imagine what the security requirements must be on a new build now…

1,000 students in an ELEMENTARY school?!

“We bought our house for $20,000 in 1972, how can a school cost $100M?!”

State GOP incinerating the education budget also really good and helpful. Pricks.

Also, keep in mind my town was literally ranked the HOTTEST real estate market in the country by the major real estate pubs like last fucking year.

Whole project was green lit at a new location a couple years ago. Small group of people w personal neighborhood interest got mad and loud about it. Few of them got on the school board. Restarted the project. Now, no progress and the price has gone up like $30M cuz of tariffs/inflation. We’re idiots.

My town desperately needs a new middle school. We probably needed a new middle school when I was a student there 100 years ago. Old locals with no kids are mad and think schools shouldn’t cost that much to build. It’s a nightmare.

Also realizing it’s entirely possible that the kid I’m referencing here will end up seeing this on their Bluesky timeline…

Portland, OR, the city where your high school’s most prolific hacky sacker/hula hooper now lives with their two kids named after minerals and a front yard chicken coop crafted out of old license plates, is war ravaged.

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists.

I ❤️ Portland

Here’s my analysis of the final play:

Great play call by Hammon. Got the ball to A’ja in a spot that’s really hard to double and let her work with solid spacing.

Great defense by PHX. They forced a tough shot.

All-time move and TOUGH finish by A’ja. The best of the best.

DeWanna gotta stop swinging on these contests.

Just realizing my former D League teammate Michael Joiner is on the Mercury coaching staff. And my former Pro City teammate little John Lucas III is on the Aces staff. I was a good teammate. Pretty poor former teammate though.

It’s gonna end up being like Spurs/Magic or Rockets/Pistons or something.

We’re definitely gonna get a weird NBA finals match up this year, aren’t we?

I just need to go through the effort of figuring out how the hell to get NBCSB back as part of my cable package so I can actually watch them…
