@JrBanta @arielhelwani It’s disheartening but what percentage of people on x do you think are real and authentic people? My guess is 20%

@zachlowesmoptop @Kyle_0429 @kings_muse Maybe there’s better evidence out there, but it’s possible those players didn’t like him because he’s a caustically critical radio personality?

@zachlowesmoptop @Kyle_0429 @kings_muse This isn’t 2020 where you just claim someone is a racist for not being down with the protests that were going on. The Donald Sterling connection you showed is super weak.

I’ve seen so many people say this and I just don’t agree with it. The most Kangz outcome is getting 2 and drafting a bust. Or staying and drafting a stud but trading him before he can blossom. We’re a dumb franchise not an unlucky one. We’ve actually been lucky lately.

@DeuceMason The most Kangz outcome is the most probable. They will pick 9th.

@Honeybadgermom This was interesting until you made a huge leap pinning this on local politicians. “Because, Anti-Ice statements?” What? If you read the Oregonian article the guy had a history of threatening a very wide swath of people that have nothing to do with politics

WHO WAS THE MAC CLUB BOMBER I can report the identity of the deceased driver: Bruce Valentine Whitman, a former MAC bartender and Portland resident. A source with direct knowledge of the investigation confirmed his identity. PPB and the FBI have not yet established motive. Portland had met Bruce Whitman once before. In 2015, he dyed his chickens pink with beet juice and Kool-Aid and released them on the city’s waterfront, telling reporters he wanted to make people smile. In the early morning hours after a violent May Day, a car loaded with multiple improvised explosive devices crashed through the front doors of the Multnomah Athletic Club — the building where Whitman had worked as a bartender — and caught fire. The crash kill the driver and detonated some of the explosives inside the vehicle. PPB and ATF investigators are still on scene, with robots actively locating and handling additional devices found within the vehicle. The FBI is jointly investigating. A source with direct knowledge of Whitman’s time at the MAC described him plainly: “The guy was a left-wing anti-capitalist antifa whack job.” The source confirmed he struggled with mental health issues and that Whitman harbored a specific, personal grudge against MAC management. Whitman was involved in a unionization effort at the MAC. The drive failed, and sources suggest he harbored significant resentment over how management handled it. His departure from the club was not amicable. His political views appear consistent with that resentment — a Bernie Sanders supporter whose anti-capitalist worldview put him squarely in the ideological orbit Portland’s radical left has spent years cultivating. THE CITY THAT BUILT THIS Portland’s DSA-aligned city councilors didn’t hand Whitman the pipe bomb. But they — along with the broader organized radical left that holds real institutional power — built the cultural and political environment that produced him. Councilor Angelita Morillo, a proud DSA member, has called for ICE to be dismantled “brick by brick” and described federal agents as a “modern-day gestapo”. Shortly before May Day, she posted a video addressing workers and activists. Her message: unionization and peaceful organizing were the nice way to fight. The hard way, she implied, remained an option. That is the language of radicalization dressed in the vocabulary of governance. And it finds its audience. Bruce Whitman was not a soldier in an organized movement. He was a disgruntled former employee with a grudge and a history of mental illness who built a bomb. But he was also a man shaped by a city whose elected leaders treat anti-capitalist fury as a legitimate governing philosophy — and whose rhetoric tells people like him, every single day, that the institutions arrayed against them deserve to be destroyed. Portland’s radical left didn’t pull the trigger. But they spent years painting the target. The investigation is ongoing. No motive has been officially established.

Viruses have never been demonstrated to exist. Bacteria and fungi are pleomorphic, meaning they cycle through various forms and shapes to adapt to their environmental roles. They proliferate specifically to bioremediate the conditions they encounter. While the phenomenon of two or more people getting sick in the same space is obviously real, there is no empirical evidence that healthy people become sick when exposed to sick people or their bodily fluids. Microbes heal. Fear of microbes causes illness.

@pdxmoderate I think that blaming Nike cutting jobs on the state of Oregon is pretty partisan hacky. There’s other more important economic factors at play. Brand not as valuable, competition, AI replacement…

💥 Nike SLASHES 700 JOBS IN Beaverton — AND Oregon’S LEADERSHIP HAS NOTHING TO SAY 💥 This isn’t just a “restructuring.” It’s a gut punch to Oregon’s economic core. Roughly 700 high-paying, career-track jobs — the kind that sustain families, mortgages, and entire communities — are gone. Design. Marketing. Global operations. The very roles that built Beaverton into a powerhouse are now being wiped out. Nike wasn’t supposed to blink. It was Oregon’s crown jewel — a homegrown titan that put the Pacific Northwest on the global map. And now even they’re pulling back, squeezed by a tax structure and cost environment that’s become increasingly hostile to doing business. Meanwhile, leadership in Salem? Silent. No acknowledgment. No urgency. No visible plan to stop the bleeding or prevent the next company from following suit. Just a vacuum where accountability should be. This isn’t happening in a bubble. When a company like Nike cuts this deep, the shockwaves don’t stop at the campus gates. They hit local restaurants, housing markets, schools, and small businesses that depend on those paychecks circulating through the community. Oregon isn’t just losing jobs — it’s losing momentum, credibility, and its grip on the very companies that built its reputation. So what’s the strategy here? 
Drive out top employers and hope something replaces them? 🔥 At what point does this stop being “policy” and start looking like self-sabotage? @GovTinaKotek @MayorKWilson #nike

@Oregonian Pretty obvious why they want to unmask federal agents…so they can dox and terrorize them. City council needs to figure out to achieve something difficult rather than this empty virtue signaling partisan BS

On 9/11 four jets were scrambled to chase down flight 93 which according to the official story was brought down by passengers. Of those four jet pilots two became generals and one of them is now the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs leading the Iran War. What are the odds of that?

@AviTaliLevi @MrBuckBuckNBA They would put together stretches of good play then they would just fall apart. The spurs would make adjustments and the blazers could not match them. It was like they were lost for periods of time. Hard to know who to blame for it

@MrBuckBuckNBA משהו שאני מרגיש שלא מספיק מדברים עליו, פורטלנד הגיעה ליישורת האחרונה בסגל מלא שהחלים ממש לפני הפליי אין. רב ההרכבים ששיחקו מול הספרס לא שיחקו כמעט בעונה הרגילה. נכון שהכימיה האנושית בפורטלנד מעולה, אבל ממש בלט לעיין חוסר התיאום של הקבוצה בעיקר בהגנה ובטח בהשוואה לספרס

Deni Avdija full postgame conference after the loss in game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs, as the Trail Blazers were eliminated in the first round. It was a pretty short one. He said he gave it all, it was a good playoffs experience for him. Now, I assume all we need to wait for is the end of season press conference of the Portland Trail Blazers team, I guess. #RipCity מסיבת העיתונאים של דני אבדיה אחרי ההפסד במשחק 5 לסן אנטוניו ספרס וההדחה של הטרייל בלייזרס בסיבוב הראשון. זה היה אחד קצר (גם ללא שאלות בעברית). הוא אמר שהוא נתן הכל על הפרקט, זו הייתה חוויה פלייאוף טובה עבורו. עכשיו אני מניח שכל מה שנותר זה לחכות למסיבת העיתונאים של הקבוצה אודות סיום העונה וסיכומה (נהוג לעשות) של הפורטלנד טרייל בלייזרס.

@shaesharpemuse It’s not about the blazers, it’s about advancing in the playoffs after a 6 year drought. Spurs fans have a ton of pride they were gonna celebrate like this if it was a 30 win team or a 60 win team they had to play against doesn’t matter

@sapurs06 @spookyboogie666 Since when did it have to be with your back to them? Thats not the rule of boxing out that’s just the standard because it’s the most straightforward way to get leverage. This was a different situation away from the basket. It’s the playoffs
