Disappointed Again
What can I say? Eugene Weekly, your staff disappoints me — and the music community — through your neglect to cover the reanimated Jerry Garcia at the Cuthbert last week. Thanks to science, we have been able to clone Garcia from a joint he once smoked while in Veneta decades ago.
Hours after the cloning, Garcia played a four-hour set, which included an amazing St. Stephen>Dark Star>Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony>Brokedown Palace transition.
Maybe your writers need a lesson in culture.

Local Doesn’t Matter
When will you all learn that local issues don’t matter when President Donald Trump continues to terrorize this country through his policies? I get that Eugene has its problems, but why can’t this paper instead focus its reporting on what Trump is doing?

His Will Be Done
If this weekly tabloid with the editorial direction of an Autotrader (no offense to that fine publication) could cast aside its sick liberal ideology, it could inform readers about the real climate change underway.
See, our country — and the world at large — has been in a downward spiral of chaos and sin. Just reading through your newspaper shows all of the sick, sinful ways of your readers.
God has dealt with this before. In all of his infinite wisdom, he flooded the world when it was filled with violence and corruption.
Once again, our world is filled with violence and corruption. God is responding with what you small-brained liberals call human-caused climate change. Yes, it is human-caused because sin has forced God to react with warming temperatures, flooding and drought.
Luckily, God spoke to me and told me to build a spaceship — a 21st-century ark if you will. As God wipes away sin from this Earth, a group of women to repopulate the earth and I will be safe from God’s punishment, as he intends.
If you donate to the cause, your lives will be lost but your soul will be saved and humanity will have a third chance.

Oh My 5G
It’s clear this paper was sold down the river because you’ve done nothing to investigate the dangers of 5G. I know some people have been talking about the real estate impacts, FCC usurpation or CIA-implemented mind-control intent. See, the problem no one wants to talk about is the consequences of this next generation of the internet.
Because of 5G, my kids are losing their ability to reproduce. The 5G microwaves have cooked up all of their sperm and eggs. How do I know this, you may ask? Well, I had our pediatrician test them.
And that’s what the government wants. Planned Parenthood has infiltrated our government to ensure there is population control so the immigration caravan can come in to the U.S. and change our demographics.
Now, I’m not anti-immigrant or racist — I voted for President Barack Obama twice and plan to vote for Cory Booker in 2020. I only want to make sure future generations look like me.

A Note From the Publisher
Dear Readers,
The last two years have been some of the hardest in Eugene Weekly’s 43 years. There were moments when keeping the paper alive felt uncertain. And yet, here we are — still publishing, still investigating, still showing up every week.
That’s because of you!
Not just because of financial support (though that matters enormously), but because of the emails, notes, conversations, encouragement and ideas you shared along the way. You reminded us why this paper exists and who it’s for.
Listening to readers has always been at the heart of Eugene Weekly. This year, that meant launching our popular weekly Activist Alert column, after many of you told us there was no single, reliable place to find information about rallies, meetings and ways to get involved. You asked. We responded.
We’ve also continued to deepen the coverage that sets Eugene Weekly apart, including our in-depth reporting on local real estate development through Bricks & Mortar — digging into what’s being built, who’s behind it and how those decisions shape our community.
And, of course, we’ve continued to bring you the stories and features many of you depend on: investigations and local government reporting, arts and culture coverage, sudoku and crossword puzzles, Savage Love, and our extensive community events calendar. We feature award-winning stories by University of Oregon student reporters getting real world journalism experience. All free. In print and online.
None of this happens by accident. It happens because readers step up and say: this matters.
As we head into a new year, please consider supporting Eugene Weekly if you’re able. Every dollar helps keep us digging, questioning, celebrating — and yes, occasionally annoying exactly the right people. We consider that a public service.
Thank you for standing with us!
