You’ve almost made it through the week!

Amid a chorus of “boooooo”s (that sounded, over the live stream on my computer, more like “mooooooo”s) Portland City Council on Wednesday voted to go ahead with the planned demolition two Washington Park reservoirs. Mayor Charlie Hales shut the show down for the second time in three weeks when protestors wouldn’t stop making barnyard noises.

Portland’s affordable housing problem has gotten so bad that Metro is dipping its toes in the development pool. The local governing body is advocating for policies “ensuring diverse, quality, affordable housing choices with access to jobs, schools and transportation options.” Metro has also purchased and refurbished multiple properties over the last year, it’s first time directly addressing Portland’s rising rents. Hopefully it works, considering the city lost 1,468 of 8,286 affordable units in the area over the past 14 years—nearly 20 percent of the total—according to the Portland Housing Bureau. The rent is too damn high!

The price of admittance to Crater Lake National Park will jump from $5 to $15 tomorrow. That’s a big jump, but it’s still pretty cheap for a day trip.

Yikes. Looks like the Amtrak train that crashed in Philadelphia, killing at least seven passengers, reached 106 mph just before it derailed. The engineer who was operating the train says he has no recollection of the moments leading up to the devastating crash.

One day later, the US House of Representatives declined to increase spending on Amtrak, which has been steadily losing funding over the years.

Wife-beating douchebag Floyd Mayweather, who recently won yet another boatload of cash in a much-hyped and very disappointing fight with an actual boxer (instead of his abused spouse), turned up at a Warriors-Grizzlies playoff game and got booed. Sometimes mob mentality is a good thing.

Here’s a great video of a hostile 19-year-old college student giving possible 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush a sound tongue lashing. Among other awesome accusations, the student, identified as Ivy Ziedrich, says Jeb’s bumbling brother, George W., helped create ISIS.

Here’s a video of a 102-year-old woman spitting her dentures out on her birthday cake when she goes to blow out the candles. If you can make it to 102, I think you’re pretty much allowed to spit on anything you want.
