Today I learned here in Portland teachers are being asked to either take 3 furlough days or cut 170 full time teaching positions. My son is in a blended class of 4/5th graders because they didn’t have enough money for another teacher. Fuck off
Hey Maine - Yall might want to consider this candidate for your Democratic primary. Ya know, someoke who isn't a Nazi.
bar chart showing china importing no LNG from the US for the past 4 months and almost no crude oil.
The rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels and the whims of idiots.
"China’s imports of three major energy products from the US hit almost zero in June"

This is bleak.
This, along with repealing the Citizens United decision, are two important changes necessary to fix our awful two party political status quo.
zine showing how side yard setbacks are bad news for trees.
this is incredible. lalali chan and @houseourneighbors.bsky.social produced a zine based on slides from a presentation i did on why setbacks make for terrible neighborhoods and cities with less space for trees.
it's perfect
This is fascinating and a great watch.
Bipartisanship, n: when both parties agree to abuse power.
A filthy air filter
You should probably check and change your HVAC filter.
How badly researched is the CA State Fire Marshal's report on single stair buildings?
It says that a 107' ladder that can reach 103' in height can at best reach the roof of a 7-story building, apparently thinking apartment buildings typically have 15' ceilings 🤦
Portrait of Miguel Anxo, former mayor of Pontevedra, standing outdoors in front of blurred greenery. A large white serif quote appears on the left side of the image reading: “It’s not my duty as mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it’s the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you’re going to put them.” His name and title appear below the quote.
It is not the government’s job to provide storage space for your private property. Cars are no different.
Roads exist to move people and goods, not to store private vehicles. Governments at all levels need to start calling out and enforcing that reality.
The bill also doesn’t touch the millions of dollars ODOT intends to use for bonding to pay for another $160 million allocation towards the doomed, $2 billion Rose Quarter Freeway Expansion.
These cuts to Safe Routes were a deliberate political choice.
Just me or is this header image doctored, with the couple added?
That header image looks like a photoshop or AI slop to me. Getty Images???
There is no possible justification for limiting e-bikes to 15mph but not cars.
It's a new marketing push this year for the Timbers' new kit. How long before we get a goose mascot? katu.com/sports/timbe...
Legislators may make a mistake that will decimate rail in this state. Don't let them.
Send in testimony RIGHT NOW
Fire codes are too important (to affordability, traffic safety, etc.) to be left up to firefighters alone.
The only serious research on the safety of midrise single-stair buildings has been done by outsiders.
Why is the city of Los Angeles stopping affordable housing during a housing crisis?
Talk to Ryan at Icicle Trikes. He knows all about bike manuf in PDX.
The kicker is that the report says dual stair adds 12.5% to the cost of units. For the cost of a $800,000 unit, $100,000 is simply for the extra stair.

This is also why, generally speaking, you should not give people with Nazi tattoos the benefit of the doubt even once!
@seachanger.bsky.social my son saw this lot and said this was the saddest looking playground ever and needs a massive depave. Know anything about it? maps.apple/p/qk_o84w2s....
Solid day. 🤘🏼
It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse
I’m a 50s suburban programmer dad, not a super fit 20s cool guy anymore. The power keeps me on the mountain. Cc @specialized.bsky.social
I’m absolutely selling my Specialized Turbo Levo and upgrading to an Avinox this spring, the power makes a huge difference with so many trails requiring significant climbs. My Levo has 565w, new Avinox next month is expected to have 1200w. A huge QoL improvement to me when riding for hours.
I prefer this type of e-bike drag racing vs car drag racing. Moutain bikes are getting into a motor power race because DJI’s Avinox motor has much more power than Bosch or Brose. Specialized just released a firmware update which increased power by 20% in response. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSp8...
