I sincerely do not think this matters at all, nor is indicative of the quality of the writing.

If you believe that “said” or “asked” are the only acceptable dialogue tags, I assume your chicken is unseasoned.

Kristi Noem: "I was in Portland and met with the governor and mayor and chief of police and superintendent of the highway patrol. They are all lying and disingenuous and dishonest people. Because as soon as you leave the room, then they make the exact opposite response."

Thessaloniki view from where we’re staying

A view at night high above the coastal downtown of Thessaloniki, all twinkling lights and purple spire, with the promenade of the southern part of the city far in the distance, past a lot of sea.

Portland, check out Alex Ross Perry’s new film, which celebrates the history of the video store through movie and tv clips, on October 18th. For citizens of a city blessed to still have such a rare business, this is a must-see.

Movie Madness @moviemadness.org · 2d

We’re excited to screening Alex Ross Perry's VIDEOHEAVEN in the Miniplex on Saturday, October 18 at 11:30AM, 3:00PM, & 6:30PM! Socio-cultural hub, consumer mecca, and source of existential dread; the video rental store forever changed the way we interact with movies.

ICYMI, wrote about T Swift in my newsletter www.anxietyshark.ca/punks-on-the...

punks on the internet

I have long described myself as Taylor Swift agnostic, which is not really true because I do believe she exists, and the truth is that I always misuse agnostic when I really mean atheistic.

Read this thread from a great Portland reporter! The New York Times running this story today is absolutely calculated. It has been positioning Portland for years as a progressive villain. Also: why send a reporter from the Bay when the NYT has at least two reporters who actually live in Portland.

Waking up to some careless parachute journalism from the NYT. Really frustrating that @kellen.bsky.social chooses to write that "some top filers" have left Portland due to the Preschool for All tax but neglects to mention that the number of overall filers went up by many thousands in that period.+
