How are Reason staffers voting in 2024?
Who we vote for is a highly imperfect measure of our biases, but it's one we're happy to share every election cycle in the spirit of transparency.

Are you tired of journalism by parachuting east coasters?
Sick of stories with clickbait headlines that lack context and reporting to explain what's really happening?
Want stories that illuminate the Northwest without bombarding you constantly for your attention?

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.

Good to know that the Oregon Republican Party takes its cues on climate policy from a social media influencer who graduated with a BSc from Millersville University in 2025 and who doesn’t understand how the climate works.

Can someone remind me if I’m supposed to be angry about the woke scolds running the government, or if I’m supposed to pump my fist and say “Fuck yeah, eating salami, meatballs and chili to own the libs!!!”

"Eighty-two years after his execution by the Gestapo on June 16, 1944, the Jewish historian and resistance fighter Marc Bloch will be inducted into the Pantheon on June 23... His family requested that 'the far right, in all its forms, be excluded from any participation in the ceremony.'"

Marc Bloch, historien et résistant juif, entrera au Panthéon le 23 juin
La date du 16 juin avait été dans un premier temps pressentie pour son entrée au Panthéon, mais la cérémonie a dû être décalée de quelques jours en raison du G7 à Evian-les-Bains.

It appears as if the host of this podcast (and local AM radio show) is going to host a debate in Salem, OR with all of the major candidates in the GOP primary for governor in early April. It would be like having Alex Jones host the 2028 GOP primary debate for POTUS.

He's also a big Candace Owens fan who thinks Laura Loomer is a neocon warhawk with divided loyalties. He also thinks 9/11 was obviously an inside job and wonders why people are constantly talking about how the Jews were the victims and the Nazis were the bad guys in WWII.
