I’ve been seeing so much of romanticization of Oregon lately so this is my reminder

And guys I can’t emphasize this enough, but don’t move to Oregon, first of all it’s not the romanticized version you see online, it’s very trumpy, insanely expensive, and seasonal depression is really bad here, not only that but people moving from out of state is ruining our economy and causing the cost of living to skyrocket, making it so that people born and raised here can’t afford to live here anymore. Please Visit Oregon tho! Tourism is what keeps so much of our state afloat, especially on the coast, stay in hotels and inns not airbnbs and support local businesses, follow leave no trace when visiting nature, and make sure to listen to locals when they tell you things to check out, and things to avoid!

How to describe it ...

Yet another label for Lord Huron’s music: “Cinematic, vaguely Southwestern-flavored folk-rock …”

That one - not entirely off the mark, I must say - comes from a writer for the Bulletin in Bend, Oregon, where the Bubs played the Hayden Homes Amphitheater a few nights ago as part of their 2026 summer tour.

With another 30-plus shows coming up, who knows how many new labels may emerge …?

The Bulletin writer did some research and seemed to surprise himself.

“Lord Huron,” he wrote, “has just over 24 million monthly listeners on Spotify. That’s a couple million more than Bruce Springsteen, nearly 10 million more than John Mayer and more than twice as many as Phoebe Bridgers…”

The Bubs play Cheyenne, Wyoming Tuesday night; then, the sacred ground of Red Rocks on Wednesday.

In fish news today, a tanker truck with 100k+ Chinook salmon smolts crashed and flipped into the Lookingglass creek, however over 75K LIVED and were just inadvertently released into the creek! see you in a few years when they return to the crash site to spawn!

The driver is okay!

Born and raised Oregonians, a friend of mine once joked with me that Gravity Falls seems to just have straight up replaced Bend in its universe (though my headcanon is that Bend is simply the closest major city to Gravity Falls)

So when I heard about this story (admittedly a bit late to it), I just couldn’t help myself…

Because they would. You know they would

Initial forensics of the RV revealed a treasure trove of DNA samples. While this was thought to be a positive step, as the forensics team continued their investigation, they realized there were hundreds of different DNA samples in the RV, mostly in the form of dried male semen. The interior lit up like a 1970s psychedelic poster under black light, and it was clear the investigation was going to take some time. When some high-level police officers realized that they too had “unintentionally” made their way into that sleazy curtain salesman’s RV, the vehicle somehow got doused in gasoline and burned down to its studs one early morning when the impound lot was minimally staffed. The arson investigation was never solved.

I ordered the t-shirt, the keychain, and the pin, and they threw in a sticker for free! I loved going to Blockbuster as a kid. I'm sure I would have hated them as an adult, knowing how they drove smaller chains out of business and destroyed the movie rental industry, but nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I've never been to the Last Blockbuster, but I have a cousin in California who might be getting married soon, and some friends in Washington state, so if I fly out there I'll be sure to visit Bend, Oregon on the side. I will always prefer physical media over streaming. My DVD collection is robust (my VHS collection used to be, but they all got tape mold so I had to leave them in storage because I didn't have the heart to throw them away...)
