I was tempted to do one post for each of the new city council districts + the mayoral race, but that seemed like A LOT, so here's one post to rule them all! District 1 City Council Candidates: https://www.portlandmercury.com/city-council-race-2024/2023/11/21/46766358/meet-the-portland-city-council-candidates-district-1 District 2 City Council Candidates: https://www.portlandmercury.com/city-council-race-2024/2023/11/21/46784692/meet-the-portland-city-council-candidates-district-2 District 3 City Council Candidates: https://www.portlandmercury.com/city-council-race-2024/2024/06/05/46784698/meet-the-portland-city-council-candidates-district-3 District 4 City Council Candidates: https://www.portlandmercury.com/city-council-race-2024/2024/06/06/46784736/meet-the-portland-city-council-candidates-district-4 Mayoral Candidates: https://www.portlandmercury.com/city-council-race-2024/2024/07/01/46784738/meet-your-portland-2024-mayoral-candidates
Remember back the day when the Friday newspaper would come out and you could see all the movies playing in a handy dandy chart all on one page? Remember newspapers? Sure, there are websites that will show chain theaters, but between chains and independent theaters, there are over FIFTY in the Portland Metro Area alone and I haven't been able to find a single source that lists all of them (NOT EVEN GOOGLE!) So went through and made a clickable list. Looking for something to see? Check out what's local to you! Independent theaters listed first, chains after that, sorted by city.

19% YOY usage drop last month, 3.6% bill increase. It's been like this for months. Even if you're trying to limit your usage and save money, you get fucked. Such bullshit. Meanwhile the PUC came out and said they don't want to not approve these large increases PGE has requested every year because "it would set a bad precedent". Talk about in another world. Their "why are my electricity charges higher" are also incorrect on weather, actually the exact opposite--the same page notes the period was 1 degree cooler than last year.

Whatever way you take this: - 1. A way to be able to remove anything that is deemed "offensive", "unpopular", or "unpalatable" and a good option - 2. A way to ensure conversations critical of entrenched interests and dominant practices are censored and don't take place It seems hopelessly broad attempt to shape discourse and thought. Even giving administrators the benefit of the doubt and saying this policy was created so if someone puts a swastika on their door they can take it down, it also means that *anything* someone claims is political could be removed. As we've seen in the last 10 years, is there anything that *can't* be politicized with enough money thrown at it? With this policy, if a history or biology teacher put "vaccines save lives" poster on their door, someone could say it's political and offensive. Giving extremists the opening to say something is "political" means that they could say, "Oh your LGBTQ poster is offensive and political to me", and it would be hard to make a case that would stand up under this crap policy that sexuality hasn't been politicized and that is should stay up to support diverse students. Hasn't diversity itself been politicized? The administrator's comment that "LGBTQ flags are ok because they support groups that have been marginalized" is 100% correct, but I don't think they're really working through how "political" and "personal" are so broad anything could be attacked and claimed "offensive", "political", or "personal". What if there was an educational poster about climate change? Economics? History? How, in any universe, could you have those discussions without broaching potentially "political" items? TLDR; policy thought up by 5-year-olds who apparently haven't been watching the attacks on school boards, policies, postings and education elsewhere to understand where it will lead. Support your teacher's unions, the administrators leading them are scared of conflict and open dialogue and we can't educate without them.

Three days after a just-married Oregon nurse was reported missing, she has been found dead and police have arrested one of her neighbors. Melissa Jubane, 32, was reported missing on Wednesday after she didn’t arrive for her morning shift as a nurse at Providence St. Vincent Center in Portland, “raising concerns among her coworkers, friends, and family,” the Beaverton Police Department said in a Saturday morning Facebook post.

"Four people, who had outstanding charges or were out on probation, were arrested and taken to jail. Two qualified for deflection and accepted services. One was issued a citation in lieu of an arrest." So it's already getting more people into treatment than 110 did... who would have thought? "Get treatment or go to jail" is more effective than "Get treatment or here's a $100 ticket you can safely ignore."

“Thursday and Friday are going to be the hottest days of the week,” said Noah Alviz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Portland, on Tuesday morning. “Across the Willamette Valley, we could see temperatures up to 100 degrees or even 102 degrees,” he said.

Hard to believe the Greek Cuisina has been closed for 14 years now... glad to see the space being revived. Last I heard, the octopus ended up on a pizza joint on Barbur, but I don't know what happened to it now.
Kroger wants to buy Albertsons, a major competitor, who also owns Safeway, which Albertsons somehow was approved to buy 3-4 years ago. The attached is a good representation of what “choice” would look like if the merger were approved by the FTC for SE metro area of Portland; 6/10 larger grocers would be run by Kroger (WinCo, Costco, Grocery Outlet and New Seasons the only exception). This is a big deal because: - Kroger has already been price gouging like crazy since the pandemic as we all knew but has been recently confirmed by Kroger themselves (https://www.newsweek.com/kroger-executive-admits-company-gouged-prices-above-inflation-1945742) - This would make bullet #1 above worse with that scale of market dominance - Kroger was among the most appalling for worker and customer safety during the pandemic. They had sneeze guards up in their 172nd location in May of 2021, a full 1.5 years after the pandemic started, never enforced masking and refused to take any returns during the pandemic for any reason, but mainly to pad their bottom line. - Kroger’s local workers are currently on strike for the crap wages and conditions they have endured. A larger corporate entity would only grow the awful employment and labor practices Kroger has. - Pharmacy services are already under-served and with Rite-aid and Walgreens closing hundreds of locations nationwide, it would force more medically dependent customers to Kroger, who demonstrated its absolute indifference to worker and customer safety before, during and after the pandemic. If you want to slow grocery price gouging, support better conditions for customers and employees, be able to choose other companies when one isn’t meeting your needs, I highly recommend sharing your thoughts with the FTC and boycotting Kroger/Safeway/Albertsons as much as you can.

"The New Seasons Labor Union, which said it represents 1,100 employees at 11 locations, characterized the action as a “warning strike,” accusing New Seasons of bargaining in bad faith in the months since employees first voted to form a union."

The union says the strike will last until the morning of Sept. 3 unless a deal is reached before then. Store executives say stores will remain open.

Over the last month, Portland police leaders have moved to disband a unit that investigated reports of burglaries, identity theft, embezzlement and organized retail crime.
"During the interview, Justham refused to provide information about the dog's whereabouts and was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on three felony counts of first-degree aggravated animal abuse **and multiple outstanding warrants.**"
My local Wincos had a self checkout, and only have 1 or 2 cashiers open. They used to have two security guards and three cashiers managing the self checkout, with a massive line of people all the way to the back. It was like that for two years. Today, I visited and they took the whole thing down, while having 5 checkout lines open. No security guards. Real pleasant experience.
"90 pounds of methamphetamine, 11 pounds of fentanyl, and 3.8 pounds of heroin" The fentanyl is the big one here.

“We had an axe that was thrown through our tea house window in the middle of the night and other projectiles thrown at Lan Su, so it felt necessary,” Nye said. A number of other concerning incidents have also happened recently, such as when someone smeared “human feces” on the exterior garden walls, Nyes said.
