mellow yellow's been here all week. cute.

Very distinct taste to the glue of my ballot envelope this cycle. Tasted like Buttered Pasta.

Even if it means we need to single track every night with low frequencies, even if night trains are 1-2 cars only, I'd take it. Some service is better than the current 0, or the proposed loss.

Park Row is at $150m in presales with 20% of units presold... despite construction not even starting yet and the building allegedly slated to open in 2029. Insane. We have demand for condos, we need to reform our laws to make them easier to build. Vancouver style, please!

Park Oriented Development needs to be a huge philosophy here in Seattle. Increase access to our parks with density, and transit to accompany it. Jackson Park could be Seattle's mini Central Park! New neighborhoods all around!

Less thinking, more drinking People in their 20s 🤝 Fox News

Ferry disappearing into the fog

The word "momentum" doesn't seem to be one that the Seattle area understands. Be it light rail, housing, politics, literally anything... we're very much a cyclical region, and it's happening again. Not for the better.

TIL. Knew this anecdotally, but never actually seen the facts. Worth reform for sure!

New UI. Much cleaner. Took me weeks to rewrite basically every element of the frontend (particularly for mobile compatibility), but I'm quite happy with it now.

IT'S FAT BEAR WEEK 2026 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

The success of AI relies on a shit economy so people are unwilling to pay the premium of a real human

Environmental excuses against housing are just that: excuses. What building dense really does is prevent suburban sprawl clearcutting forests and simultaneously improve neighborhoods into newer, greener, more sustainable communities. Build more, build well, build lives, build homes.

my twitter feed is so wild rn with kirkiversary and suicide prevention day on the same day

Celebrating the occasion

dolly :(

Instead of being productive on the app today, I spent a couple hours working on a logo for it. Thoughts? Anyone recognize the colors? :D

"Noise is the new fire" Wonderful insights from our presenter today

Oh, about that, I discovered a new library and decided to switch the entire architecture over to it. Lol. I shouldn't have this power. It's for the better... probably.

KUOW uses independent journalists for information, even *invites them onto KUOW shows*. But in yet another occurrence in Sound Politics' and their team's continued descent into platforming conservatives and deplatforming real journalists, they now publicly lie and mock their industry peers.

Until a road is 100% pedestrian only, it is not pedestrianized. If service vehicles or local access are allowed, people on the street must still be aware and in fear of a vehicle cutting them down. People can't sit and picnic in the middle of the road. That should not be considered pedestrianized.

This is rare for our area, fortunately, but even a single occurrence is one too many. Hoping that everyone is okay.

Incredible

I am all about progressive politics. For that exact reason I will not be voting for Sawant. She is a fireball that has and will actively push people away from our causes. She would be a complete disaster in the house.

this is thanksgiving break should i go

Meanwhile, after successfully extracting another soul, Mitch McConnell has come back to life. And we've got a long ways to go before he's gone again.

"How many states do you propose?" "There will be at least twenty three" "Can you name them?" "Don't play games with me, kid"

Claims to be pro life Dies lmao

Some of y'all transit advocates have absolutely awful takes, just going to start blocking on sight. What fantasy world do you expect us to live in? We can always strive to do better, but a lack of perfection doesn't mean you suggest crashing and burning an agency that is trying it's damn best.

This should be our opportunity to use the massive amounts of money that AI is creating to reinvest in huge solar farms, modern nuclear plants, a clean resilient energy grid!! But we're not doing that, so instead everyone's fighting over energy.
