This conviction that it's the DNC's fault that Trump got elected is bullshit. You know whose fault it is that he got elected? The shitty, shitty, shitty people who knowingly voted for a racist, xenophobic, sexist, ignorant, impulsive, violent, unqua…

Image is broken. So, that's probably symbolic.

It wasn't that tough! I was really anxious as they stuck me, but then it really wasn't that bad. Would do again.
-
I did it! I gave blood today at work. If I knew how to upload a photo, I would do it. But Nacho and YT can confirm.

It's not nearly as much fun to have an "I Voted" thread when so many people are in vote-by-mail Oregon...

Hot damn, it looks so amazingly good!!! You done some good work.

Hey doodz, if you're in Portland, you can see the Black & Chrome edition (b&w) at Fox Tower. We saw it over the weekend and it was rad.

I had to give some feedback to one of my team members lately that I needed her to make her client-facing emails a little nicer/softer - like, add some social niceties before getting to the point (the point in this case being that no, you can't have …

Arguably not the best topic for internet forum discussion. But I'd really like to know: dudes and dude-identifyings, do you see casual (or less so) sexism in your personal and professionals lives? Do you ever do anything about it? What can be done?
-
I just figured nobody wanted to talk about this.
-
I assume this is why: "Corporations use accounting tricks and advantageous tax rules to report few profits (sometimes nothing) to tax authorities, while reporting much higher profits to shareholders. That’s why Oregon’s existing tax on profits often…

I guess this just isn't my hill to die on. I think Uber/Lyft/etc. were inevitable; I think Novick did an admirable job of keeping them on hold to broker various concessions and agreements. Obviously it is important to you, and so it sounds like you …
-
I like Novick. I think he actually has cojones, which is rare in Portland and in Oregon. He tackled reform of our totally fucked handicap parking permit system, for example, which most people would be too scared to take on, and it was totally succes…

I mostly just looked to the Merc and the WW, and then reserved the right to disagree. There's some lefty statewide voters guide out there too but I can't find it, but anyway, they recommended yes on all statewide measures. The ones that seem not t…

After reading some of the #notokay Twitter replies, Nacho asked me if I ever felt dismissed or condescended to at work, and I asked him if he ever saw that kind of thing in his field and how he responded. I felt sort of surprised to discover that we…

There was a good article in last week's WSJ about Emma Meesseman's 3 point shooting. Headline: The Shooter Who’s Better—and Bigger—Than Stephen Curry

Could be viral marketing campaign garbage to promote a movie. Barf.

Ha ha ha ha, good joke YT! You can just claim a "nonmedical vaccine exemption" and they'll let your unvaccinated kid into any public school!

Her gold in the women's 400-meter freestyle last night not only set a new world record - it gives her "nine of the 10 fastest times ever" in that event.
-
Watching her, you feel like she's just like, water, I fucking own you, watch me be the boss. It's exhilarating to watch.
-
OK, guys! Job is posted! Please share? We're open to hiring in Seattle, LA, Durham, or Oakland, but Portland is our preference.
-
Thanks super much, swamp knobbler. Will do.
-
I have been waiting to learn more about whether AirBNBs are actually reducing available housing stock in a meaningful way, or if that's just sort of a thing that anti-infill people are saying/freaking out about. To that end, I found this article abo…

Hey Miranda, FaceTweet, & anyone else who's really interested: I have been invited to an event on 7/8 to learn more about a new organization called Portland for Everyone (my favorite quote from their website: "Portland for Everyone prioritizes h…

Not a dumb question, and yes, there is. Pressure canners operate at a higher pressure; you cannot use a pressure cooker to safely can low-acid/low-sugar foods. And I think pressure canners would destroy food you want to cook. Too bad you're not loca…

Cherry, if you do get one, I encourage you to get Lorna Sass' Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure. I don't have that cookbook myself, but I do have another Lorna Sass pressure cooker book and it's been very useful.

And IMHO, crock pots are overrated. All the recipes are for 6-8 hours, and that's too short of an amount of time for my entire work day plus commute. And it's not even really ideal for overnight. Plus a lot of the recipes turn out blown out or muddl…
