And I'm thankful for this idiot.
A curly-haired gray bernadoodle wearing a light blue rain jacket is standing on a tree stump. He's surrounded by bushes and ground cover looking up at the fence of the park.

#halftimewalk Liverpool down a goal to Forest. Looking for their scoring booots. Has anyone tried looking in the bushes outside Anfield?

I love this tableau.
Three framed pictures on a white wall. The second and third are separated by a concrete pillar. Picture One: a framed poster celebrating the Warsaw Pact conference of 1989. The caption in Russian reads, Together We Will Never Be Defeated. Picture two: framed original Apple Think Different ad from 1997 featuring a black and white photo of Amelia Earhart in a white shirt and white leather pilot’s hat. Picture three: a framed print of the 1913 painting, The Footballer, by Italian Futurist,Boccioni. It’s abstract and gives the impression of a multitude exposure photo of a running soccer player.

An unknown kind of bird perched in a pine tree. The body is white and the head is black. It has a yellowish-white beak like a crow.

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year
The cover of De La Soul's Album, Three Feet High and Rising. Black and white head shots of the three artists on a yellow background with flowers and type in a childlike, cartooninsh style reminiscent of Sesame Street.

Liverpool lacking confidence. We didn’t have much in the weather but caught a break and found sun for a dispirited #halftimewalk with @leo-bernadoodle.bsky.social
A gray and white bernadoodle sits on a sidewalk strewn with white petals of the flowers behind him.

Wore the special glasses this morning. Downtown Portland, 5th & Washington.
A row of paste up posters on a plywood wall in the style of the movie, “They Live.” Large italic sans serif type reads, DON’T OBEY. A black & white woodcut style image of a frog’s head in the center.

Tuesday is the 7th best day of the week. And I slept like 💩 and am dragging my ass to the office (thanks Mayor Wilson!) but at least I have glorious full moon to look at in the dawn west.
A full moon in the pink sky of dawn setting over tree-lined streets with telephone lines and a green traffic signal.

Wild line for 70mm showing of One Battle After Another at the Hollywood Theater in Portland.
A nighttime line to see a movie. It stretches half a block A view of a line to see a movie that goes around a corner and halfway down the block

A poster by Molly Crabapple of a cat queen grinning while sitting on top of a pile of cookies. She looks down on two mice tugging on a single cookie. One in a dress and one dressed as a construction worker. She addresses the mouse in the dress, "Are you going to let that union guy steal your cookie?" Above the tableau a banner says, "I can pay one half of the working class to kill the other." Jay Gould.

Passing along this fabulous shoop from my footie group chat for all my #mufc friends.
A photoshopped image of Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim on the sidelines during the team's loss to fourth-tier Grimsby on 08/27/25. It is raining and Amorim has a tactics board propped on his knees on which he appears to be rolling a fat joint.

The passage I'll flag is on risk tolerance. Own your little failures as learning process. That honesty resonates authenticity with people! Move fast and build things!
6) We need to try things knowing that most of them will fail, and be much more risk tolerant with content. This is how we innovate. I think right and left media are heavily asymmetrical so I try resist direct comparisons (e.g, one side is willing to weaponize conspiracy theories, the other is not.) But one thing that the right does that the left does not is spread a lot of money around, try everything, and not flagellate themselves endlessly when something fails. Every time I talk to people about funding liberal media projects, they bring up Air America. Air America!! Air America had a six year run, and it died FIFTEEN YEARS AGO. It has zero relevancy to our media environment here in the year of our lord twenty twenty five.

Found the ESPN Sports Misery Index today. It is very much as I thought; the only thing #cf97 are top of the league in is misery. A perfect 100, in fact.

After chasing Mannequin Pussy to DEVO, my 60 yo knees gave out. Rock out brother.
Scene in front of stage at an outdoor concert by DEVO. A man wearing a Hawaiian shirt, a Spud Boy mask, and the red, four-tiered hat that reads, “don’t shoot.”

Morning walk in SE Portland. Never seen thistles this big. Size of my fist.
A clutch of very large thistles with red spikes and lavender tufts in a front yard. A sign in the porch reads, no justice no peace.

A black and white photo of five men standing on a California porch in the mid-1970s. Several are bearded and flashing peace signs. On the far right, shitless and lean is the scraggly Harrison Ford.

I’m not particularly vain, but I do take a great deal of pride knowing that 3 months from 60 I look SO MUCH better that this 44 yo troglodyte. HT: @foxymoxie.bsky.social
