Thinking that I probably prefer the #PDX smoke to this 100°F heat.

Let me just say I am excited about some great folk being in #PDX this coming week!

☎️ I feel bad for only now getting around to reading my spring 2600, but it was nice to see an article about #Futel.

If you are coming to #PDX for #FOSSY you might want to try one out.

TFW you realize that new seasons charges $11.99/lb for scrambled eggs. #PDX

Meet Peg. She is 2 years old and she’s lived in my apartment for a week. She is sweet, hilarious, and cuddly, but totally out of control 😂 Currently shopping for #PDX dog trainers, because I’m tired down to my bones 😭 #pugs #adoptedpets

#PDX come see my band

🏆 Congrats to my local neighborhood animation studio for winning Best Animated Feature Film for their production of "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio".

:covid19: By my observations, #Portland #PDX Multnomah County has finally this week dropped from Substantial to Moderate transmission levels of #COVID19, which is below the CDC's pre-2022 State Of The Union recommendations for wearing masks in indoor public spaces.

📉 40.6 cases per 100k population this week, and 6% test positivity.

🤞 Let's hope it stays this low, or lower. Many (most!) places still much higher.

Cool.

Just heard from someone in the #Portland #PDX Bureau of Transportation that their "transportation wallet" program for people living/working in certain neighborhoods will, starting this coming year, only be accessible via a proprietary Android/iOS app, as opposed to submitting a form and getting a physical Hop card as in years past.

Apparently if you don't have or use a smartphone and proprietary software, you're not "good enough" to use public transportation.

Intel's CEO sure is really "sharing the pain" as he cuts his own salary alongside the 5% pay cuts for workers so stockholders can get paid dividends.

He shaved a whopping 0.17% off his 2021 compensation of $178,590,400.00. 🙄

The cynicism and inequity is sickening. Intel workers need to rise up.

ℹ️ Hey #Portland, friendly reminder.

❄️ If you are a property owner, a rental tenants, or a businesses, city code requires that you must clear your sidewalks and path across your driveway as soon as possible after a storm. PBOT will NOT remove snow and ice from sidewalks.

💙 Thank you for being a good neighbor to #PDX pedestrians!

🌪️ Just saw a small outdoor shelf fly out of the sky and crash into the street.

🍃 Hang on to your hats out there, #Portland.

🎄 A walking tour of the festive homes on Peacock Lane is always a great way to get into the #holiday spirit in #Portland #Oregon #PDX.

📺 Here's a look at this year's #Christmas decorations.

So the mayor of #Portland is calling for relaxing involuntary commitment rules.

I am very supporting of getting people the help they need, and it is long overdue, but I feel pretty sure that (a) his impetus to take action is coming from business donors mis-attributing their sinking profits to the #mentalHealth crisis, and (b) that there is still not enough health care capacity for the amount of people in need.
