Desperate for there to be a single three bedroom home in the inner Eastside that me and my fiance could reasonably afford.
We need Inner Eastside or All passed urgently. City council should not allow BPS to drag it out into a multi-year project, as they have indicated they will do.

My rough view is there’s about, maybe, one half to one good film distributed throughout the Prequel Trilogy mixed in with the dreck
And a not insignificant portion is just Ewan being charming and McDiarmid chewing scenery

In Japan, tourism to Portland, Oregon, is promoted by a grinning blue monster named Odnarodude. He’s at a Portland artisan event in Jiyugaoka De Aone this weekend.

I don't think people fully realize how brutal a vise Republicans are in now. If they cave tomorrow Democrats get all the credit for giving people healthcare. If they somehow bypass the filibuster they get a year plus of headlines about ripping people's healthcare away.
"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

The New York Times' liberal readership could bring the newspaper to heal in a matter of 2 or 3 months if we just coordinated. Ross Douthat could be out on his ass. Patrick Healey could be filing for unemployment. We just need to will it into existence.
Good to see they aren't doing as well as they claimed, but we really need to start pushing people to cancel their games subscriptions
Lachlan Cartwright puts his magnifying glass on NYT's big subscription bump in the latest quarterly earnings report.

if you just look at the text of Wrath of Khan, it's pretty clear that the subtext is that while Kirk is not an abhorrent person, he has caused massive suffering to countless people through his careless sense that he is The Hero, and tons of people die because he believes he can cheat the system

i'm still seeing people say things like "they don't intend to win elections", and, like, look at last night's results. those are not outcomes you can reject through slim efforts at trickery, those are overwhelming defeats that can't be ignored. stop letting your doom brain do their work.
a thing that i find really interesting about the results last night is that i can't see a way for republicans to course correct before the midterms without some pretty radical realignments. an awful lot of what people are mad as hell about is baked into the core of the party now.

Wait this is so cool. I can't believe I hasn't heard of them before
![The Wide Awakes were a youth organization and later a paramilitary organization cultivated by the Republican Party during the 1860 presidential election in the United States. Using popular social events, an ethos of competitive fraternity, and even promotional comic books, the organization introduced many to political participation and proclaimed itself as the newfound voice of younger voters. The structured militant Wide Awakes appealed to a generation which had been profoundly shaken by the partisan instability in the 1850s, and offered young northerners a much-needed political identity.[1]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2q5bmos7izvoe4phqdnslpj7/bafkreicv43tj6zmkufyrwzkd77mfcem5mqgwfuwt5a5sutqr47tdcltygm@jpeg)

the thing about the Wide Awakes is not only is it a cool historical reference, but colloquially it's also resonant with, and a natural progression from, being woke
