Wer im Linux-Umfeld arbeitet und seine Exchange- oder Microsoft-365-Termine mit Mozilla Thunderbird synchronisieren muss, stößt unweigerlich auf ein altbekanntes Problem: Thunderbird spricht von Haus aus (noch) kein natives Exchange-Protokoll für Kalender (ab Version 145 soll es eine native Exchange/EWS Unterstützung in Thunderbird geben). Über Jahre hinweg gab es dafür eine gute Lösung: das…
Last week was a real Portland doozy, so much so I had to split to Central Washington to chill out for a minute. The tough decision to post up at a generator show in lieu of catching Midwest emo daddies American Football was made, and happily. Two of Portland’s tuffest punk outfits, Carny Cumm and […]

This past week was kooky-busy with extraordinary shows, showcasing but a fraction of what Portland, and the world, are on musically. The Mercury’s Music Issue launch party was a great success; the bands—KEEKS, La Isla Electronica, Isabeau Waia’u Walker, and the Barbaras—all crushed their sets. When, not if, you have the chance, check out all […]

You miss Mercury Music Picks the last few weeks? Well, I missed you too! But the absence was for a good reason—next week sees the launch of the Mercury’s first Music Issue since pre-pandemic.

Hello and welcome to one of the springiest weeks we’ve seen in quite some time! Sure, T.S. Eliot called April “the cruellest month,” but around here, it’s losing its grip with sunbreaks and lilacs coming on strong. On the docket: Mirah’s earnest, diaristic indie rock, a May Day march for workers’ rights, and the weekend’s […]

In this post I will be citing a few sources regarding the status of St. Hippolytus, whether he was a bishop of Rome or of some other See, and if at Rome then whether he indeed was in actuality an antipope who set himself in opposition to the Roman bishop. All emphasis will be mine.
I begin with what Eusebius and Jerome wrote about him:
Meet Residential Systems' new Training Calendar.
How’s your spring shaking out? This week, Do This, Do That unfurls with events like sooo many cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils. John Waters cruises into town to celebrate eight decades of debauchery, Making Earth Cool screens a verdant array of 16mm nature films, and did you know you can learn Latin dance for free […]

Last weekend was kooky-beautiful outside. Or at least it looked that way while convalescing in my sickbed… That means that Darkswoon, FKA twigs, Only Fire, Six Sex, and more were missed by this lowly music editor. The absolute pits! But I suppose sickness can be framed as a reminder to be proactive about seeking joy. […]

This past weekend at Cooper Mountain Nature Park, I watched a smattering of wild iris and pond lily sway against a backing scene of scraggly oaks, jays and juncos flitting in between. I sat on a log with my partner for two hours, staring at the pond, chatting about nothing and everything. Two ducks floated […]

Welcome back from the Thunderbird development team! Reflecting back, the first quarter of the year has been a mix of deep technical focus and forward-looking planning.

Wow y’all, who was at Mavis Staples over the weekend? The diva—at 86 years young—is still a firecracker on stage, doing little dances and hitting her notes better than any imitators could ever dream.
