I saw crews digging the pit for the foundation for this building and thought - "I guarantee it's a project..." and I was right. Portland loves to shit all over Foster-Powell. There's already another "affordable housing" development two blocks away... kptv.com/2025/07/24/por…
Tina Kotek’s new transportation TAX proposal includes raising the gas tax, raising all title and registration fees, and requiring drivers of hybrid and electric vehicles to join Oregon’s pay-by-mile tax program. Tina Kotek can fuck right off to hell.
I just wanna say: The UK is pretty ballsy for charging Americans £16 for an electronic travel authorization. What do they think I'm gonna do? ILLEGALLY IMMIGRATE?
How many nonprofits are there in Portland?
200 homeless non-profits in San Francisco. That means a lot of duplicative overhead and a lot of people looking for clients.
Best of luck to Jeff Gianola in his retirement. KOIN is my local news station of choice and without him it’s just not going to be the same! His fatherly energy will be missed!

Some of you never learned how to write a five-paragraph expository essay and it shows.
I have an asexual cousin who is obsessed with her border collie and she dresses it up in a different colored neckerchief every day and it makes me sick.
This is why I got to Europe in autumn or spring.
Hot take: Europe is a bunch of third-world countries with better branding. No A/C. No dryers. Ice is a luxury. You’ll sweat through dinner while the waiter ignores you for 2 hours. Say what you want about America, but at least eating out doesn’t feel like hot yoga with bread.
This entire article is so outrageous it’s impossible to comment on the whole, except to call “Bullshit!” Every paragraph contains an egregious claim, and to respond would take volumes, so I’ll just provide a few examples in the order they were reported. 1. “Counties are betting…
. @jvegapederson has resorted to paying people $100 to say good things about Preschool for All. Unconscionable.
