Portland, this is going to be a No, Really, Do Not Go Outside week. I just got an email from a farm that is expecting midweek farmers markets in the region to be cancelled this week. Do you have any idea what it takes for farmers to cancel a farmers market? Also if you need masks, I can help.
Councilor Candace AvalosPortland: It's going to be hot and smoky this week. With months left in wildfire season, it's important to stay informed and take steps to limit your exposure to wildfire smoke. 1. Save and check the Oregon Smoke Information blog for air quality information in your neighborhood. 🧵
My farmer's market has a hot sauce vendor who had her sauce on a season of Hot Ones. I can't do spicy, and she'll go "Oh this new one isn't hot at all" and I'll taste a tiny bit on a chip and can't breath. I'd *love* to see her do an episode just to watch Sean's reaction as she has none.
PookleblinkyI've never watched Hot Ones because I don't give enough of a fuck about what celebrities think about basically anything, but it *would* be interesting if there were a version where they have on like, academics and researchers and grad students and such.
TIL that Somerville, one of the largest cities in Massachesetts, and one of the most densely populated (population vs. size) in all of New England...doesn't allow cars or trucks or buses or subways or ebikes? Because they've gone three years without a traffic death.

I have an ex that carried around a beta Black Lotus, signed by Richard Garfield, with a corner bitten off. He'd bring it out at tournaments, from his wallet, and set his life counter on it, to try to intimidate his opponents.
