My opinion: This Democratic presidential contest will not employ ranked choice voting; let’s pretend it does
Let’s play a game. Let’s pretend that readers of this publication get to pick the Democratic nominee for president, and did so via Portland's new ranked choice voting system, which will see its debut this fall. In November, Portlanders will use a new type of election to select a mayor, auditor and city councilors. Rather than vote for one candidate, they'll rank their preferences from a list of candidates. This...

Movie Review: ‘Die Hard’ still brings the action
The debate over whether it is or is not a Christmas movie continues, but whatever any individual decides about that, “Die Hard” certainly is a milestone of the action genre. The 1988 adventure — which Paramount+ With Showtime presents Sunday, July 28 — cemented the big-screen stardom Bruce Willis had aspired to after gaining initial fame through the television series “Moonlighting.” His smart-aleck brand of humor and massively independent image surely help to inform the character of John McClane, a New York police officer who...

Summer on the Seine: Boat parade welcomes athletes to Paris 2024
The Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony is causing somewhat of a “Seine” in the news. OK, that was an admittedly ridiculous pun, but the crux of the statement remains true. Airing live from Paris, France, Friday, July 26, on NBC and Peacock, the 2024 Summer Olympic Games are the first iteration of the long-running athletic tradition to host its opening ceremony (and many events) outside of a stadium. The reason for this decision is not for a lack of stadiums — Paris has several sporting...

Elevate your backyard experience
Chances are, no one wants to replicate the side effects of the global pandemic anytime soon.
