Looks like they're updating the article. The AK47 angle is new.

"A study from 2022 concluded that even if we drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the area most highly suited for growing coffee could decline by 50% by 2050."

The area most highly suited NOW, but imagine global warming making new areas suitable for growing.

Oregon has the volcanic soil and the rain, but not the sunlight or the heat. Could that change by 2050? 🤔

The whole "Punch a Nazi Day!" has two origins:

Something about this story smells... I've never been asked by an ATM how I want my money, it's always just $20s.

It's not even clear that the suspect had a gun, but you know, what other long, tubular shaped metal object could they POSSIBLY have been carrying near a golf course? 🤔

And those are just the ones that get reported...

Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

"Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter."

Not quite, Will de-registered as a Republican years ago... (checks notes) 2016.

So he's not anti-Conservative or anti-Republican, he's just anti-Trump.

For those too young to remember, there was an era of intellectually honest conservatism. It was led by people like George Will and the late, lamented William F. Buckley Jr.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Buckley_Jr.

Buckley would have shot Trump in the middle of 5th Avenue and gotten away with it.

 
 

Because Musk did such a good job with that at Twitter... "I don't understand what it is you do, you're fired."

 

"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.

 

"“The filing is deficient for the following reason(s): the PDF attached to the docket entry for the pleading is not correct; the wrong event type was used to file the pleading; Court’s leave has not been granted; the order granting permission to file the pleading was not attached,” the bolded docket entry reads.

The court went on to explain how to properly file the request the next time around. Most of the advice — and the mistakes the advice is meant to address — concerns basic filing errors. But the court also advised Trump’s team they needed to refile with the government’s consent or leave of court — and dinged the lawyers for not having leave of court, which means the court’s consent, in the first place."

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.
