I got my ballot.
The only Democratic candidate for governor to submit their info for the booklet appears to be Governor Kotek. The other 9 Democrats on the ballot apparently said, "Nah, really, vote for Tina." All declined. There are 14 Republicans in opposition. The one with the most name recognition might be Christine Drazan. I just felt a sudden chill.
The first candidate whose glossy PR has arrived in my mailbox is a candidate for a county judge position, Laura Rowan. A nice pitch, a familiar framing of a candidate in this area, and she has some solid endorsements. The early bird.

Watched the Thorns match at the Rockwood Market Hall tonight. I can highly recommend. Lots of awesome food choices, huge TV, family friendly, and great seating. Will do again! #baonpdx #rockwood #gresham #nwsl #soccerwatcher

Progresses: Royal Courts on the Move in Tudor and Stuart England via Gresham College [Shared]
Most summers Tudor and Stuart monarchs took their court on an extended progress round the home counties staying at their own palaces and the houses of their courtiers. The cost and impact of hundreds of people, their horses and servants, was considerable; for the aristocratic hosts a royal visit was a momentous event.
This lecture draws on new research to reveal who they benefited, their impact on the economy, the landscape and on architectural ambition.
A lecture by Professor Simon Thurley CBE

We have a heat advisory for Sunday, then another for Tuesday through Thursday. If we don't hit 100F, I will be surprised and thrilled. It's an east wind.
If everyone in eastern Oregon could start their giant ice machines now, we might have a cool breeze. Ha ha. That was a joke. The gorge would devour it.
I knew this summer would be a blast (furnace). Wait 'til there is zero ice in the arctic in summer. Yee-haw, Portland becomes San Diego.

"Think about how the atmosphere slowly changes the seasons. Now imagine how long it might take to turn around the atmospheric heating foisted on every living thing we know of in the universe, because some wealthy men get richer and more powerful if we keep pleasing them and tolerating their insanity, corruption, greed, and outright sadistic treatment of life."
"There is no hope, is there?"
"Not for the climate. Rich people who gambled, stole, bullied, badgered and abused their way to the top, always win. This is the planet where bunnies are eaten alive by random hungry carnivores passing their way."
"Thanks, Ma! I'll sleep well tonight, knowing that billionaires have their own backs, and nobody else's!"
"Sweet dreams."
"Capitalism and the free market will save us!"
"Of course they will, my sweet, deluded child."
Disney taught children to identify with Bambi and her mother, prey. Yet, so many of our leaders, like the hunter who killed Bambi's mother, in 2025 are apex predators.
This is working out so well! We get to spend, spend, spend to keep up with the destruction, destruction, destruction, while we lose, lose, lose all of antiquity, and our life-giving climate. Elon leaps and dances because it all is so funny, watching slaves struggle to survive when there is a new army of mechanized slaves taking their jobs, ones that never demand a raise, replacing the loudmouthed meat puppet water bags who annoy the wealthy with demands, when what truly matters are narratives and absolute control of mass media to spread the propaganda of the billionaire class to fertilize the ground with out decaying bodies, so that their mechanized farms might have better fertilizer.
Lovely day, this gloom.
