I think the population was 24 in 1980 or so. Beautiful part of the state, not a ton of work.

Went there once as a kid in the early 80s. Guessing it isn’t much bigger than it was then.

That makes the problem even worse. 5 players for 2 positions is not great. I really don’t want to see any of those that I listed leave the team, but some of them will have to be traded.

Also, I forgot about Mueller. Outside back will also be a logjam.

There will be an embarrassment of riches once Hanks, Weaver, and Wilson are all back. Tordin looks like a keeper (not literally) and Turner is too good to let go. How will they get everyone in the front playing time?

I have been thinking a lot about how the Timbers used to be good and what has changed. Is Ned really worse than Gavin? Same owner. My conclusion: the rest of the league has grown up, Timbers still think they can get by with what worked ten years ago - and a lot of that was luck.

I am quite certain @edsbs.bsky.social needs to see this and the accompanying article.

Seriously, don't shill AI slop from Amazon. How about a shirt from a Portland graphic design company? They have plenty of other anti fascist designs as well!

You must be so fucking proud. If we can get out of it with anything better than a 5 goal loss it will be such a year of progress.

WOW... JUST WOW...

In order to justify invoking the insurrection act in Portland, Oregon, trump faked a riot with professional videographers, the military and hired extras.

Great blog and I really appreciated the linked article from the BA. Personally I almost always buy 4-packs of 16s these days. Just feels like the right quantity for me and also tends to be the interesting beers.

Democrats are fighting to protect YOUR health care.

Republicans shut down the government rather than fix the mess THEY made of Medicaid with their Big, Ugly BETRAYAL of a budget bill.

Remarkable recovery of the Klamath River salmon. Many thanks to the agencies, Tribes, and NGOs who came together to remove dams and monitor the recovery of the Klamath River salmon. And kudos, too, to the indigenous youth who paddled source to sea on the newly freed river
