A microcosm of the actual problems we have in PDX!

I saw NIN in '06 and they were 🔥, despite me not being a big fan.

My best sets of 2025:
1. Flock of Dimes @ Mississippi Studios
2. Dawes @ Revolution Hall
3. Death Cab @ Project Pabst
4. Stevie Nicks @ Moda Center
5. Lizzie No @ Polaris Hall

Honorable Mentions: the Mountain Goats, Jimmy Eat World

I kinda of agree with the take that it has minimal cultural impact. I don't really watch *anything* any more but I don't hear about it the way I hear about Stranger Things or Sinners or KPDH.

But also who cares? It's either good or not. Cameron can laugh all the way to the bank.

I don't really know what you're talking about (new, deeply weird TikTok trend?) but it brings to mind an old This American Life I think about now and again.

Feels like very little to improve the situation (maybe courts overturn tariffs?) but they could staunch the bleeding enough to hold the Senate.

They're fucked in the house though.

(Honestly GOP Senate, Dem house is the most plausible outcome regardless? Not great but better than the status quo.)

Though let's be real. With Rhye and Air, it took a moment for that recognition. With New Found Glory I knew the song, track number, album, and album release year within the first two measures of the bassline playing

Certain songs, they just get scratched into your soul.

I love r/bald because it feels like basically every post is someone going from hag to hottie in the course of three pictures.

I haven't needed to join your ranks yet but when the time comes, I know who to call.

Fair. And you have a gaggle of children to care for too. I would just generally say that basketball is really good these days so if you haven't watched in a few years, give it a peek.

The Bulls are actually pretty fun to watch right now too but they're not going to be making a deep playoffs run.

May I recommend... 🏀?

The Pistons are legit good and have an outside shot at the title, even. And they win with defense.

The Granny Smith is an acquired taste and I don't expect it to be universally liked.

Cosmic Crisp is like Honeycrisp but bigger, redder, and they seem like they stay crisp longer in the fridge.

There was a big marketing push out here a few years ago, which, whatever, but they are legit good.

Did the Cosmic Crisp make it East yet? It had a big bang release out here a few years ago and it's my go to eating apple any time I'm looking for in an apple that isn't as tart as a Granny Smith (my personal fav).
