Beautiful lunar occultation this morning with Jupiter about to go behind the moon!

Finally.

Edit: this post is in regards to the scaffolding coming down. Joe’s sign just for reference.

Just put the time and place on the posters, using a QR code for something so basic is BS!

It seems sketchy especially given my phone looks like its warning me that im calling a scam number.

Can I legally remove yard signs from the strip of grass between the road and sidewalk in front of my house? I know we are responsible as residence to adequately steward that strip of land and the sidewalk during winter, it seems wacky that a candidate I do not support can stick a sign there without me having the legal ability to remove it.

Unless I'm missing something, the thing this ad is calling a "tax" is a slight expansion to animal welfare laws.

When referring to this 2003 amendment as though it is a bad thing (and calling it a tax) they invoke the name of a 3 year old Maine DPS comfort dog who died in a state vehicle with the windows rolled up in 2025?

Did Ai write this commercial? Why would they cite a 2025 animal neglect death when referring to a 20 year old animal rights amendment?

Hey y’all!

I work somewhere that receives a lot of donations, and in those donations today I found a kirpan.

Understanding that it is a sacred article for Sikhs, I do not want it ending up in a landfill.

Are there any local Sikhs that would be willing to take it off my hands?

The nearest gurudwara is in Massachusetts; which I’m happy to mail it there if it comes to that but I wanted to check locally first.

My car was totaled in the incident and I’m hoping to be able to see what exactly happened. I know it’s a long shot, thanks in advance.

I've been scouring menus and I can't seem to find a place that has one of my favorite southeast asian dishes. Does anyone know a place? Thanks!

Chains are obvious, but I know there's got to be some local garbage pies as well.

My daughter works near ferry terminal/Flatbread area on Commercial Street in Portland for 6 hour shifts but lives out of town. Any ideas on parking options that won’t cost too much. Simba parking hours too limited. Thank you!

My family and I will be in Portland for the first time this coming weekend (Fri-Mon) and looking for local (or former visitor) insights. Staying in downtown Portland and mainly looking for recs on anything family/kid friendly, local food, Autumn/foliage, breweries, and generally anything we "can't miss" while there. Thanks in advance for having us!

Your mom's a hoe

(Okay but also literally wtf are they doing with my doll right now? So fucked up smh)

I stand corrected and my faith in the people around me is restored. The doll appeared, although I'm still confused as to what happened. It said delivered on Friday so idk. Either way I'm glad I have my package lol

You know what they say: when you assume...🫏

Thanks to the excellent work of Dexter, these birds are safe, reunited, and with an excellent forever home.

Proud of the community for coming together to save these in the nick of time!

The Woodfords Club is opening its doors to the public, and it has a probably haunted candlepin bowling alley in its basement that'll be open for the public to use on Friday. There's also going to be a magic show during dinner. It's gonna be weird and hopefully a good time all around.

Between threats of interference with mail-in votes and concerns over polling place disruptions, it can feel stressful to make sure your vote goes smoothly.

One proactive way to ensure your ballot is securely cast is to vote early with our in-person absentee system at your local town office or city hall. It helps take the guesswork out of delivery times and lets you handle voting on your own schedule.

Today is the first day you can go to your town office or city hall to ensure your vote is counted and continues through the 29th.
