Good Morning, News: Willamette River in the Grips of Big Algae, City Council Meeting About Long Meetings Runs Over, and the Inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games
Briefly

Rain is expected in Portland, with temperatures dropping to the mid-70s over the weekend. Following a harmful cyanobacteria bloom in the Ross Island lagoon, an advisory has been issued for parts of the Willamette River. Additionally, irony was noted when a City Council meeting on managing lengthy meetings itself ran over time. Local stress relief options, like Rage Rooms, are being highlighted, along with Bob Odenkirk's new film Nobody 2, which is expected to be brutal yet falls slightly short of expectations.
"A Portland City Council meeting about how to change council meetings to address the problem of meetings being cut short because they run too long, was cut short after running over time Thursday."
"A harmful cyanobacteria bloom that began in the Ross Island lagoon last week seems to be rapidly spreading thanks to the recent heatwave, prompting Oregon Health Authority to issue an advisory for most of Portland's stretch of the Willamette River from Ross Island to Kelley Point Park."
